My favorite anime,
By
This review is from: Mushi-shi, Vol. 6 (DVD)
Mushishi is an absolute masterpeice. It's a fantasy/drama unlike any you'll ever find, and it's my favorite anime.
Each episode tells a different story. I thought I would be bothered by this, but I wasn't. This adaptation is very faithful to the source material. Mushishi evokes many different emotions while viewing it. Some episodes may have a really nice ending, while others can be really sad. The beautiful background music amplifies these effects. The music is very serene. Listening to the OST, something I do everyday, is the best way to relieve stress. It really works wonders for the anime, especially when considering the quality of animation maintained throughout all 26 episodes. I have yet to see an anime series animated as beautifully as Mushishi is. Everything was so well done, you can tell they spent a lot of time translating this from the manga. The Mushi are reminiscent of the creatures you would find in a Hayao Miyazaki film, the Kodoma of Princess Mononoke perhaps. They have a certain magical aura, a mystifying presence, that makes you want to see more and more of them. I suggest you buy the DVDs, which come in a very nice package with lots of extras. This is an anime which should be seen by anyone who enjoys anime. This DVD, the final volume, contains episodes 23-26.

Mushi-Shi is extraordinary!,

This review is from: Mushi-shi, Vol. 6 (DVD)
I've been seriously watching anime for a couple years now, and of all the series I have watched, this one has been the most gratifying of all. Its tone is almost zen-like, the animation and artwork are beautiful, the episodes are fascinating and disturbing, and I found that as I finished each DVD, I felt uplifted and simply happy to be alive. The series centers around a man who travels Japan helping people who have "mushi trouble". Mushi are defined as the essence of life itself, which is neutral, but which can cause people all sorts of problems in various situations. Ginko, the main character, seeks to help people and mushi to co-exist peacefully wherever possible. Because the series is episodic in nature, we only slowly learn about the hero, his past, and his personality. The care which the producers put into this series is apparent in each story. I highly recommend this series.

This review is from: Mushi-shi, Vol. 6 (DVD)
I just Mushi-shi disc #6 in the mail today. I have seen disc 1 & 2 of the series so far. This anime makes you really think. the epiodes are very stand-alone. The series deals with the supernatural but done in a way not to freighten the veiwer. The main cather comes off as cold but polite.
