Get fucked by your maternal instincts, lady. |

| Another perfect episode :) |
 |
| Jesus christ what a freaky episode. Anything abnormal or a being that isn't suppose to (like A.I) establish the curse of consciousness is in for a ride i can tell you that. Episode gave me the shivers. went 0-100 fucking quick, the Mushi basically created the "children" to learn shit faster like a hive mind. That means if it kept multiplying fast enough it could soon go well beyond a human mind, as those 5 kids alone seemed to have established thoughts, emotions (but that could of been the increase due to the fear factor they experienced) so imagine an army of them. Legit world ending scenario, freaky shit. Actual psycho wife, stabbed Ginko and got i guess brainwashed into thinking those were her kids? Although an absolute cluster fuck, how did Ginko capture one at the end? And nice to see after all the trouble it caused him he still stands by his "no-killing" rule. Lmao he's got a companion now. |
 "yabe." |
| What an excelent episode this was, I did not expect Ginko to get injured like that due to how calm this anime is with barely any serious action ever happening. While episode was truly great it also felt a little creepy |
| That was freaky as fuck. Should not have watched that at 2AM |
   |
| The things that Ginko has to go through damn, what a weird world. |
   |
| First time Ginko got a damage, LMAO. |
| I should have stopped watching at the last episode but here we are its 2 am and I'm fucking scared to sleep what were those things? bloody scary. I've never been fond of kids but OH MY LORD after this episode I'll never go even near one. anyway it was a good ep I was thinking it was just the last ep we heard about staying alive and then BOOM he's being stabbed. ... I actually wanna watch more but I have to sleep. Dammit. |
 |
| So this episode is about mushi that attacks the womb of a pregnant woman? Creepy and scary. Can't imagine if something like that happened in real life.. I was shocked when the mushis suddenly communicated with each other. If I saw a baby suddenly speak fluently in such a voice.. I would definitely freeze. I swear that's scare me to the death. |
 |
| It was really interesting to see Ginko have to play the "bad guy" of sorts here - it shows he's good at what he does though because he is able to not be deceived by the mushi trying to prey on human empathy. It's easy to write of the mother as insane but I think it's interesting to consider how motherly instincts would be easily abused by these mushi. |
| Mushi-shi usually runs a balance between mystifying, fantastical, and horrific. This episode veered much more into the horrific elements of the show. A sentient parasitic hivemind born from a human mother sounds very much like a science fiction horror story. The previous episode had Ginko mention how skeptical he was of living a long life, and this episode shows just how dangerous his occupation is. |
| An advantage of episodic storytelling is that an episode can have a very different tone or content than others and this is a good example; it goes straight into horror. Ginko's usual veiled kindness rebounds on him badly and he ends up lying to the anguished couple at the end and leaving them to fruitlessly watch over a rock hoping their "children" will be reborn from it. |
| The darkest episode I suppose. Also, I loved the ending :) |
 |
| my favourite episode (story) so far |
 |
| Ngl the ridiculousness of the woman really made my blood boil, especially because she didn't show any remorse after stabbing Ginko. I truly admire his patience, no other man would still try to help after everything he's gone through. |
| This show can be really damn creepy when it wants to be. The fact that a thing that isn't human can imitate a child so uncannily well is unnerving as all hell (but funnily enough that's probably possible with modern AI lol) Also, Ginko is way too chill about getting stabbed. |
| Pretty cool one. Ginko is always learning. I wish there were 10 seasons of this show. |
| Well, that was terrifying, but I loved it. Honestly, Ginko was doing the right thing tho by lying to them, the plant only cared about itself and its seeds. |
