The anime will debut on AbemaTV and Tokyo MX on January 9 at 24:00 (effectively January 10 at 12:00 a.m.) before debuting on BS-NTV on January 13.

The official website also began streaming two short commercials on Monday, which preview the opening theme song "Arigat wa Kocchi no Kotoba" by Naotar Moriyama.

Mariko Mochizuki (writer on Aquarion Logos, Last Hope, Senki Zessh Symphogear AXZ, Ssei no Aquarion Love) is supervising the series scripts. Ikuko Ito (Princess Tutu, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan) is designing the characters.

Crunchyroll is co-producing the anime, and it will stream the series as it airs in Japan. Crunchyroll also hosted the world premiere of the anime at Crunchyroll Expo on August 30.

The manga is set in a world ruled by spirits and monsters, and where humans are persecuted and driven to the brink of extinction. In a certain forest, a golem - the guardian of the forest - and a little girl meet. Their journey as surrogate father and daughter to each other begins.
