I am so ready for this. Mushishi is a serious contender for best anime of all time. :dance:

It's honestly been so long since I last watched it that I don't remember any other recurring characters/voices.
Pretty much the only other recurring character is the doctor who buys mushi artifacts off Ginko.

I was at a beach during a red tide once. It sucked. The wind coming off the ocean makes your throat itch.

Good episode, early on I thought it was too much like the one about sound-stealing mushi in winter, then it turned out it was completely different.

The ending of Watahiko was darkly hilarious. Definitely one of my favorite episodes.

I love the title of the episode. And I cringed like crazy at the first head-patting scene.

As an aside, which ep from either season do you guys think has had the bleakest ending so far? I'm thinking One-Night Bridge, but I could have forgotten one.
You might be forgetting Pillow Pathway. That's the one where dream mushi wipe out that guy's entire village, he cuts his pillow and loses the ability to dream, and then kills himself a few years later. I don't think anything else even comes close.

The world of Mushishi is such a deathtrap. Look at your reflection in the wrong lake? SOUL STOLEN.

Some of the background shots in this one were positively breathtaking.
Seriously. That first shot with the lake I had to pause to take it all in.

Suddenly, a slasher film breaks out.

Special episode next time? Wonder what that could mean.

I thought that was all the mushi in the tree going "oh god fire evacuate evacuate."

The moral of this episode: turtles are assholes.

Also there's no reason to assume the wife won't eventually ask Ginko about it and have a chance to break out if she chooses.

I thought it was one of the better time travel stories I've seen and not really a downer.

That was a good ending. :unsmith:

Remember when we had episodes end with stuff like the victim waking up and falling in love with Ginko, and we all laughed since it was cute and funny. Haha, yeah. Good times.
This is what I love most about Mushishi, you never know how it's going to end.

Although this season does seem to lean more towards the tragic or at least melancholy endings than the first season did.

Wow Ginko, that was not very responsible of you. :colbert:
