The timeline of the series itself is rather vague, and possibly out of order. I remember something about the second episode taking place much later than the rest due to the state of technology required for manufacture of things like the syringe.

It's all there, the music, the atmosphere, the art, everything. If they've done so well on the first episode, I can't imagine that they will do much worse with the rest of the season.

It's like it never really stopped, it was just pulled out of time and has now re-entered. :allears:

Yeah, they're not malevolent or benevolent... just trying to live.

Not being malevolent doesn't make them not dangerous, though.

Well yeh I think this episode is the perfect indication of that, they dont do poo poo until you gently caress with em, consciously or not.

In some cases, "gently caress with them" only requires that you lay eyes on them or be in the general vicinity.

I think it's been a while since we saw a legitimately bad actor (in the sense of doing wrong, not skill) in the series. The conflict is usually much more man vs. nature/himself than man vs. man. Even with the king of the mountain two episodes ago the main issue overcoming himself.

So that was an episode. Any idea what the theme was?

The End! No moral.

In this episode of Mushishi, a young boy learns about the water cycle.

It all turns into tears.

I got the impression that the boy 'left' despite Ginko's treatment plan, not because of it, and that in the end it turned out to be inevitable.

Yeah, earlier Ginko mentions that water-dwelling creatures like salamanders were more closely bound to the mushi and inevitably evaporated. The boy in the womb was basically a water-dweller when the mushi merged with him, and thus was fated to evaporate.
