| yay mushishi is back~ |
( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ |
| This was a lovely episode. I love that the music hasn't really changed, it suits the series so well and the new OP is great. |
| Listen to my music ;) https://soundcloud.com/in-contrast |
| Wonderful OP, continued great BGM and the same "feel" as the first season. This is gonna be great! Let's hope we see Tanyuu soon. |

| Oh wow... ....that was soooo... what I needed right now. That was so nice, so warm. Loved the OP. |
| The legend has returned. |
| Absolutely overjoyed to see Ginko again...and it only took 9 years. So, basically mushi are tiny, little boozehounds? Funny! Sent with Mal Updater |

| That was simply fantastic. The OP actually is even better than the first to me and that's saying a lot as I adored the first. Just another soothing episode and it was still able to keep a great attention-grabbing plot all wrapped in one episode. I even got chills at the end when the guy sits on top of his roof and we see the beautiful scenery along with the OST. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| I finished my re-watch marathon just recently but why did I feel so nostalgia upon seeing Ginko? Old friend, welcome back (again). OP is fantastic but S1's OP holds a special place in my heart. Ahh...I can't wait for next week's episode! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| The OP I feel like doesn't really fit, but it gives me "shivers..." :P Dang the quality is still there, and it's the same Mushishi that I enjoyed and loved. The first episode was a bit slow, but I've prolly forgotten the pace of this anime since it's been awhile since I finished the first season. |
| It's really happening, I'm watching Mushishi 2. This is seriously the best. This opening episode is a really good one, reminded me the world of mushishi! |
| Nice episode and can't wait for the rest! |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| My god Mushi-shi where have you been all my life?? Did not skip a beat. OP is out of this world in the same way as the last one, OST is out of this world as usual, and the tone and direction speaks for itself. Only Mushi-shi can take such a dull-seeming story like a brewer's son trying to live out his father's dream, and make it so engaging and interesting. Love it, keep it comin-and whoa split cour?? I was pretty excited for a 2-cour but I can live with this I suppose. Summer's gonna be torture though. |
 |
| I'm just going to give this series a 10 because I know it'll be amazing anyways |
| Good episode for a reintroduction to the mushishi world. |
| Oh man. I'm lost at words. It's too beautiful. I'm glad the show is back. |
 |
| Such Beauty~ Love the OST (sasuga Toshio Matsuda) and DAT OPENING! *chills* |
| I have definitely been waiting for this. One of my very rare 10/10s was the original season of Mushishi. |
| I was worried it wasn't going to be as good as the first season. Happy to say it still has that "Mushishi feel" to it. The OP is great. |
| so any reasons as to why the show isnt set to airing yet? are we waiting for a certain website to upload or something? |
 |
| After 7 years I finally watched the last episode of S1 right before this. (never wanted it to end ^^) Love that Isaza made an appearance here.. it was like a natural continuation of the series. I hope they show more of what Ginko does with him and the other Mushishi. Strange not hearing the sore feet song, but the OP wasn't bad. OST was great- I don't think Masuda Toshio can disappoint. It's hard to believe its been years since the first season.. I'm just so happy Mushishi is back! :D |
 |
| Well, that kid owe Ginko one :P I loved that Mushishi meeting. Let us believe how much crazy experience there must be only in that little group. Ginko is always so chill, love him so much :3 I didn't expected alcoholic mushi in the first episode xD It was a cute episode that recapitulated a bit of the mushi principle. Great start for another hyped serie :) |

| Oh how I've missed you, Mushishi. |

| I'd completely forgotten how perfect Yuto Nakano's voice is for Ginko, it's almost nostalgic. |

| Pretty awesome. I forgot how surreal Mushishi felt. And this episode made me feel like having a beer. Can't wait for the dub and I hope the original cast returns. |
| Never thought they'd actually get a track by someone like Lucy Rose for the opening. Perhaps series 4 will have a Laura Marling or Gabrielle Aplin track... |
| Holy fuck, yes. I've never been so excited for anime and this first episode makes me remember why I love Mushishi so much. Cannot wait till next week... |

| I am glad that there is a 2nd series of Mushishi. I love the opening song that is "Shiver" by Lucy Rose. It's is calm and beautiful like the opening song from the 1st series. This episode was a decent start to the 2nd series. It's nice to see mushishis having gatherings to enjoy themselves considering that the life of a mushishi is hard. I liked seeing mushishis enjoying the finer things in life like sake. The story of the son trying to live out his father's dream was decent. |

| Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a problem. |
| Just this episode alone is 10/10. That's it. Long time since I gave 10/10 on the first episode. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| WOW this episode was simply amazing, pure art. Great way to start the 2nd season. |
| Hmm I didn't watch the 1st season but they do a good job introducing the world of Mushi-shi for first time viewers like me. As much as I'd like to watch the 1st season first, I don't have the time to do it in such a short time. This anime is well.. not my usual cup of tea but it is very beautiful and despite the slow pace, I didn't feel bored at all. I don't imagine this is something you can marathon for a few hours though. I'll stick around for a few episodes and see if it can pique my interest to watch the first season. |
 |
| Simply outstanding as per usual from Mushishi. |
| Glad to hear it's good. It's one of the few shows however that I'm used to dubbed now though, so like Black Lagoon, I'll need to wait. :( |
Kafka-san said: Nidhoeggr said: Yeah, I noticed that as well. I thought it might just be my imagination, but I guess not.Still the same story quality and excellent choice of chapter for the first episode, but... a lot of backgrounds were fairly simple and not nearly as detailed as in S1. I hope they fix this in the BD release. It's really a shame because those are an important fectore of immersion into Mushishi's world for me. If they don't fix this I might even have to substract a point... which would only make it 9/10 :D |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| The best thing I can say about this episode is that it is totally Mushishi. As others have pointed out, it doesn't look like the show took a nine year gap. Some little art issues aside and a song that I guess I'll have to get used to make the difference. Story-wise, it is solid and fabulistic but not one of my favorites, maybe this is the result of having watched the Mushishi Special a few minutes before and being sort of saturated, but it didn't turn out to be memorable and outstanding in the context of the series. Still, that lesser effort is enough to make a 8.5/9. |
| Holy crap it has really been nine years?? Put the first episode of the first season next to the second season episode and it's like no time has passed at all. Truly a beautiful work of animation! I'm not as stocked about the OP song as I was when I first heard The Sore Feet Song (srsly that song feels like flying softly on a freaking cloud) but it fits the kind of feeling Mushishi OST gives off. I was secretly hoping Ally Kerr would sing it again lol Story wise it's pretty mellow, nothing big or dramatic happens but I think it's a very nice story to start with. First the mellow, easy-going ones, and for the last half the more serious/sad/dramatic stories. Overall I'm very happy, I haven't looked forward to an anime like this for quite a while. |
| The best thing about the new OP is the lyrics capture my feelings on the premiere perfectly, "I'll shiver like I used to, just for you". Compared to season one, this isn't even one of the stronger episodes but it was still greatly enjoyable & a fitting opener. And most importantly, it's still Mushishi & it still delivers an experience unlike any other anime I've ever seen. |
| Why can't I hold all these calming feels... Very fitting opening episode.. The scene where he gaze at the sky while drunk. That OP song!! And the music.. Really sets the ambience as usual. Ginko!!! Let me be your disciple!! :D |
| Always such a joy to watch mushishi, there's not another show out there I know of that makes me feel this relaxed while watching it |
| Great episode as expected. |
| DAT OP! Lucy Rose-Shiver Aniplex, good job choosing this song. |
