An anime adaptation was revealed for Yako Gureishi's Somali and the Forest Spirit (Somali to Mori no Kamisama) manga during this week's Anime Japan event. To make the announcement even sweeter, the series is a Crunchyroll co-production, so you can look forward to watching a simulcast of the series when it arrives as part of the Fall 2019 anime season. 

Kenji Yasuda (MACROSS DELTA, Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens) is lined up to direct, with Ikuko Itou (Princess Tutu, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan) adapting character designs. Cast members revealed thus far include Daisuke Ono as Golem and Inori Minase as Somali.

Check out the teaser visual while we wait for more details:
