| The end teared me up slightly. Another great episode! I'm glad that I watched it fairly late as I now only have three days to wait for the next ;) |

| Always a little frightening to see how precarious subsistence life is. As always, Mushishi keeps it simple and beautiful. |
| There isn't a thing I dislike about this Anime. |

Tenacra said: And here i was planning on putting this on hold untill after it finished airing. Nope, that's not happening anymore. Definitely going to look forward to this every week. why would you do that ? If there is any anime made for taking slowly, it's this one. I'm chilling through season 1, a few episodes a week :) |
| Damn, Mushishi dealing with serious business again. That's some great writting right there. As always, slow but powerful. I think it was easy to understand how both party felt. The father had good reason to be bitter against the village, but the town leader had also good reason to have saved his wife instead of the other guy wife. Really, it was a no one's wrong here. Ginko acting as a neutral lever again. I think it's his best capacity, to take distance from the village problem, but still be compassionate for them. It allow him to have a bit more of liberty. The beginning really let us thought that the story would be around those little bird, but the story was more around how a village and a fishing life can collapse in an instant. But also how by mutual aid, they can overcome those difficulties. |

| Such a good anime to watch before going to bed. Glad it worked out again in this episode, but what the heck is a red tide and what causes it? |
 |
| I love Mushishi. I love its slow, thoughtful nature and the deeply surreal feeling I get watching it. This is beauty to get lost in. |
| As always it was slow paced,calm and beautiful.........life may be hard but we have to move on........and the last part with all the Mushi Bird was beautiful |
| Life is Fun! Yeah,try chanting that 10,000 times each day! it will mess with your head,and all your pain will disappear |
| aw, these birdlike mushi were totally adorable |

| Oh Red Tide. It was an interesting episode too, seeing that the father and daughter went back to the village. |

| What a great episode. It was just really high quality. Mushishi is just one of the greats and it has fell right back into it's usual greatness. I can't wait for more great episodes. |
| The end scene was so beautiful. It was one of the rare episodes in which the mushi were not the cause of any harm whatsoever, rather the opposite. This anime has really benefited from the gap between the seasons, since the gorgeous visuals only enhance the lovely atmosphere of Mushishi. |

| 06:47 dat dmnd bird Beautiful. 8/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| So touching, such perfection |
 |
| This anime deserves a lot of respect for all the feelings it creates without emphasizing on tragedies or manipulating the viewer with 500 litres of tears on every single face. |
Kurini said: It moved me. The animation when the birds took off was really great, it was a beautiful scene. :) This. I'm taking this new season really slowly. 3 episodes in (if you count the 40 min special) and all of them so far were amazing. I'm kinda missing the dark forest scenery that came along in S1 a lot more often though |
| Great episode, calming :) |
 |
| One of the most beautiful episodes I've ever seen in animation. Got nothing else to say. |
 |
| Very soothing episode, beautiful. |
| The mushi taking off at the end was breathtaking. Amazing episode |
 |
| What an amazing beautiful episode! I just love the atmosphere from this franchise! |
 |
| Another meh episode. I dunno what's lacking but it feels different than the original series. The 9-year break doesn't explain it because it's absed on manga anyways .. |
| fucking little birds in seashells? u fukkin' srs? what does that mute girl has to do with anything.. brb a pearl that saves the whole village? the fuck outta here.. |
 |
| Birds in seashells - wat are you doing birds? So far, the episodes have all had happy endings. It makes me wonder about the next one. Uber_Dewber said: Very soothing episode, beautiful. FlyingComma said: I love how calming this show is! Beautiful ep. The bird thingies were so cute. <3 The peaceful atmosphere is definitely one of the best qualities of this show. |
| Whoa... this was an utterly amazing episode. The artwork and animation was phenomenal - especially the scene with all the villagers standing atop the cliff overlooking the scarlet water, and the scene with all the mushi birds escaping the seashells. Wow. The gorgeous animation was just the icing, though, as the story and atmosphere were truly touching as well. This episode is going down as one of the most beautiful episodes of Mushishi and one of my favorites. I love this series so much asldljgfgoljhlfnjbocvnl ;___; |

| the shell mushi birds were beautiful as they all took off after the ill omen |

VVaifu said: I agree, and it's definitely not because of nostalgia, because I just finished the first season less than a day ago. So far this is far inferior to the first season, everything but the music (exclude the OP, I don't like Shiver). Probably the directing, or the script, or the sub I use, because the story is still as great as ever.Another meh episode. I dunno what's lacking but it feels different than the original series. |

| This was really beautiful to watch *____* |
 |
| So, wait... what was the real disaster, then? The few dead birds? That doesn't seem like it makes much sense. |
CookieBun said: Is the budget lower than before? I notice a lot more empty-ish background scenes than the first season. Well, they were on a beach, afterall. Also, that last shot with all the birds and the moving camera shot with animated background was very complex. There wasn't anything cheap about this episode. |
| Touching episode. They finally went back / get accepted back into the village after 10 years. Really shows just like the first season that not all Mushi are bad, in this case it helped them (or Ginko did actually with the help of Mushi) |
 |
| when he handed them the pearl at the end my eyes got all leaky D: |
 |
| Mushishi never disappoints me another good episode. |

| That little bird-mushi is so cute @_@ Very good episode!! |
| 4/5 |
 |
| Man that was a great episode, I was really interested what the disaster was, it kept me waiting, so great! Best atmosphere. Great ending. Glad mina could go back to the village and all was well. Them flying bird things though. |
 |
| That ending was really Beautiful. Nice Episode very well Adapted. |
 |
| Beautiful episode! ;~; |
| Quite the uneventful episode. That may be good once in a while. |
  |
| I think this season will be full of happy endings. |

| Probably my favorite Mushi so far just because of how helpful and harmless they are. Well, unless you happen to put a seashell to your ear while they're singing but even that has a simple cure. |
 |
| One of the most fantastic episodes I have watched, and certainly one of my favorite Mushishi episodes. The direction, the visuals. the sounds, the atmosphere, the overall story... just perfect. |
 |
| I like how this episode expands on how Mushi aren't bad or good. This time they served as a warning. |
 |
| Another great episode. Nearly got teary-eyed when the father not only gave the pearl so that it could be shared between the villagers but also decided to come back. He's one prideful man. Mina was a nice girl as well. The red tide sent shivers. |
