| Ep 8 [spoiler] Feels like forever since we've had a new episode of this. Anyway I really don't understand how that kid was such a dick. Maybe I wasn't paying attention or something but I think they mentioned it was his step-mom or he was adopted at some point? Anyway Its nice that he saved his mom in the end, but as Ginko showed... theres an easier way lol. |

| Well damn I'm late to the party, although I'll catch up pretty quickly if I stick to my plan of an ep a day from here out. Not a lot needs to said about the storyline of the eps themselves.... it's Mushishi you know what you're getting. Episode 1: Episode 2; General thoughts much like everybody I love the intro, atmosphere, characters everything. It's as good if not better than the first season. It took me right back 5 years to when I first saw Mushishi, that was awesome. I scored the first season a 9/10 the only reason I gave it a 9/10 and not full marks was because at the time I wished there was more episodes. Now with this I have those episodes. I expect by the end of this I for one will be giving full marks all round. Top drawer. |

| Episode 7 [spoiler] As you guys have mentioned Ginka didn't play much of a role in this except for giving the right advice at the right moment right before the end, but while I missed him it was still a great episode as usual. At first it seemed rather cruel, but turning it into a positive outlook was well done and made me really love the episode. Good stuff. |

| Ep 10 [spoiler] My favourite episode in a while, too bad it has to be the last episode for a long time too :( Anyway the visuals and atmosphere were even better than usual this episode. When Ginko just walked out of the water like nothing happened like a BA XD Yeah really looking forward to those last 2 eps and the next season. 9/10 for me too. |

Sandileina said: Episode 8: Episode 8 [spoiler] I wasn't aware of it but I may have the same condition xD. Those scenes in the first half were among the scariest/creepiest anime scenes for me, really made me feel uncomfortable for a short while, in a good way. Overall a briliant episode, a contender for favorite of the season. And not ONLY because of my bias for anything that has to do with ships :>. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Episode 9 [spoiler] Not a god-tier episode, but another very good one nonetheless. Like Sandy I like that the conclusion was unusual and he decided to just stick with the Mushi until who knows what happens. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Episode 10 [spoiler] Wow, this might be my favorite episode of the season now that I've seen them all. I was hoping/waiting for an episode that didn't center around people and how they are under the influence of Mushi, but only on the Mushi and nature. It was also interesting to see Ginko not knowing what is going on for once, he is usually quick to figure out what happened but not this time. Only in retrospect did he realize that the mountain lord 'used' him, but no real harm was done so he just went with it. Perfect way to end it with another unique episode. The visuals were also superb, even better than usual as battosai mentioned. I was debating a 9 or 10 before this episode and seeing how this turned out even better than most other episodes, I'll have to go for the 10 here. I MUST. 10/10 (95%). AOTY |

| Sorry I'm late posting my thoughts, I've been watching, just been too busy to make time for MAL :P I've gone through everybody's comments with the exception of those for episode 10 as I've yet to watch that but I'm amazed that NOBODY had the same issue I had with episode 3... Episode 3: Episode 4: Episode 5: Episode 6: Episode 7: Episode 8: Episode 9 That was me trying to keep my thoughts brief considering I had to discuss all those eps together, anyway did anybody share my concerns? I've had to take some things with a pinch of salt and I've let a lot go, maybe I just hold this series up to ridiculously high standards. Also no idea of the name of the guy who is voicing Ginko now but he sounds a little more serious than the fella that voiced him in the first series. I might sound crazy but the guy in the first series sounded a bit more laid-back which suited Ginko better imho, anyway I'm nitpicking and starting to ramble. |
| Nice! Loved the comments. I'm going to have to go back and watch episode 3 and see if I can explain or pick up on what you stated. To be honest, I didn't notice the flaw the first time through. |

Well, the first season it was a female VA who voiced him so that may explain it. I've been happy with Nakano Yutos job in season 2 though. |

Higashi_no_Kaze said: Well, the first season it was a female VA who voiced him so that may explain it. Interesting. I watched the first season dubbed. It has been a while, but I liked Ginko's english VA quite a bit back when I watched it. Ginko's voice in this second season matches pretty much what I imagined his japanese VA would sound like. I'm interested to go back and listen to the original japanese VA now. |
|
| Brianwuzhere Episode 3: I think I have pretty good suspension of belief, it's only this episode that really bothered me, when you factor in what Ginko said above ^^ it seems like that man should have lost a little more than some fingers and toes :P I wish his injuries had been a little more extensive, he got off a bit light if you ask me. Anyway I'll chalk up my frustration on that episode to being too exact, but hey Ginko's word is Gospel xD Higashi_no_Kaze that makes a lot of sense. His voice did sound more laid back in the first series and that probably was because of the female VA, I'm actually pretty satisfied with the new guy too. I was really nitpicking on that point lol. I'm going to watch Ep 10 tonight, really looking forward to it. |
| Ah yeah, I notice that, I was taking it verbatim. |
|
| Episode 10: Also do we know why there wasn't a second season sooner? Or why episodes on this season have been delayed to production issues? I may be completely wrong but I found the writing this season on some episodes a little weak, it might just be after the original series they were fresh out of ideas or just exhausted. I'm only speculating. Anyway this season thus far at least (it's never wise to make a judgement on something until it's finished but I'll do it) has not been quite as good as the first series. I'd give the slight edge to the first season as I felt it churned out more consistency. Also episode 9 of this season is easily the worst out of every mushishi episode from my point of view, it had moments that belonged in a sick fetish hentai, not in an anime of this caliber. Overall the episodes for this season for me are somewhere between an 8/10 and 9/10... considering I gave the first season a nine, I'll give it again on this in the hope that the latter half might become a little more consistent and elevate its tone. It sounds like I'm pointing out only the things I didn't like so I better mention the things I did quickly, they've already been said by everybody already though... fantastic intro, magnificent animation, brilliant atmosphere, Ginko, wonderful music that really compliments the anime, also episodes like 4 and 6 are among the finest ever for this anime. Anyway it's inspired me to rewatch the first series, so that's a good sign. That's my mini-rant over xD |

| Ep 11-12 [spoiler] Extremely interesting episode. It never crossed my mind that mushi-shi themselves would sacrifice their souls in order to better fight mushi. I guess it really wasn't a choice in Kumado's case though. Making artificial Mushi out of kouki is also very interesting. Great concepts, I enjoyed the hihamukage episode a bit more though. 8/10 |
