So uh did the Mushi provide him with oxygen down there, or magically keep him alive somehow?

I think the idea is that it put him in suspended animation. After all, it was lowering his body temperature abnormally, apparently it basically just shut him down for a bit.

ice does not work that way. you know this.

Yeah think I'm going to go with mushi magic on this one.

Also: Mushi magic is really fun to say out loud.

Looks like the dismemberment/eaten by animals train is gonna keep on chugging.

Also can you just imagine the smell in that house?

It really can't be expressed enough how great the art in this episode was at giving everything a sickly, rotting feeling.

So was he strangling the animals to death, or killing them with the fuki somehow, or what? I guess it was left vague and never shown to make the whole thing even creepier.

I think this may be the first time I've seen a doppelganger story be about overcoming depression.

So :stare: that was an episode. Any idea what the theme was? Something about not letting a natural cycle take place being destructive or something? Idk.

Hmm... not sure what the theme of this episode was. Some kind of guilt?

Ginko reminds me a lot of the stories you hear about early scientists. Dudes who would get a spot on a Royal Navy ship or whatever and then draw and write down observations on whatever they could find.

Because it is actually a man dooming his wife to being eaten because he can't handle losing her.

Why does that matter? She was going to die anyway, and since the guy broke out of the cycle, so can she. I believe that this will happen.

Because it is him committing suicide? And hey, maybe his wife doesn't want to be trapped by the Groundhog Day monster? And since she's unconscious when he takes her through, she'll have no opportunity to turn away? Also, if she's capable of breaking the cycle in that moment, then she actually probably isn't in danger of dying, is she?

Yeah, the setting was neat. The dilemma fell a little flat for me though. It also seemed like there were a whole lot more dead air scenes than usual.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Still, at least we got one with a mostly nice ending. The past few episodes have been kinda :negative:
