The weakest of the season so far, but still good. Her suddenly becoming interested in Ginko was funny.

Lovely episode.
Love how quickly Ginko tried to get away from the girl.
Then helping the mushi find a better place, episode shows that mushi arent just a "thing" :)

Ginko is always good with the ladies shame he can't be in a relationship properly.

This episode has some of the best scenery in the show.

I particularly love the 1 minute after the OP when the girl is combing her hair. The reflection in the lake is mesmerizing. Also they play the song ๆƒณใ„ (Emotion) during the scene. Damn eargasm.
I'm a sucker for strong female characters.

Girl hits on Ginko because he is cool looking.
Ginko is a nice duy and helped mushi at end.
Interesting episode, I was a bit scared when the water monster mushi was close to her, reminded me of some horror movie of some sort, I was scared too. If I was in that situation, it'd be pretty scary.
Glad there was a wrap up with the eye reflection thing and that humans themselves alone with their body are enough. Nice little moral to the story there.

Doppelganger Mushi, dangerous little bastards! It seems it'll eventually show mushi versions of most possible equivalent cases from twiilght zone and x-files!

What a jerk. If you wanna break up, just say so.

I love how the mushi almost never directly attack the human. The mushi in this one was such a gentleman. Once told to leave, he left lol. Then again, I could feel the girl's horror when she was about to get replaced. She couldn't move, she had to crawl to get the mirror and she couldn't even do that.
She's so boy-crazy lmao.
"You are not half-bad looking."
"It seems like she has recovered." lmao I love this.

This was one of the most docile mushi for sure. Good story about moving on and the importance of life again.

The first time a girl hits on Ginko. It's ridiculous it took that long.

This was a very inspirational episode.

Masumi is super passionate about love hehe, Ginko is a pretty cool guy, but I think she rushed things a bit.

Loved that ending with Ginko moving the mushi to another place.

Ginko could easily take advantage of the "reward" part.

Hopefully he will visit the scribe girl soon.

Gin is such a ladies' man ;D ;D



I hate this type of girl, btw lol. She's like a leech. Are you seriously going to devote your whole existence in whether or not you're wanted by a single man? If a guy doesn't want you, find someone better who does. Don't mope around and come at the beck and call of a guy. You're not a fucking dog. Have some pride, bitch. Work on yourself. Once you can stand alone, THEN you can stand alongside a partner.

Sorry for the rant lmao

Man what a spectacular episode. One of the best in recent memory in my opinion, as unpopular as it can be. The flow of events wasn't all that grandeur or anything but the ideas about the value of life, something we take for granted despite how incredible it is, was very heartfelt. Especially by contrasting the main focuses of the episode, the girl and the mushi. The girl, who felt like she had lost all purpose in life and the mushi, who desperately seeks out a higher form of life. The most impactful part for me was the method to deflecting the mushi's possession. All you have to do is make it see it's actual form. To remind it of the reality that it is but a mere imitation. I loved how human the mushi's actions felt, despite being believed to be the simplest form of life.

The type of woman that just can't stay only friends with a man. Annoying. That was the first time Ginko got hit on, that was hilarious, haha. This episode's Mushi was rather interesting honestly.

Wow! This time the narrative "captures two birds with a piece of coal", showing how the protagonist Ginko is magnanimous, not only in words but in a concrete manner; and leave it in the background during the narration. Episode that stands out for the beauty of the places shown, thanks to the designs and backgrounds. Not even this time the basic message is missing. But I know how less poignant the narrative tone of this season is.

lmao that was a pretty good episode won't lie, i swear Ginko should also be a therapist like that speech about how "theres always someone who's having it worse then you" was a very good one.
Ok won't lie, when she tried to hit on Ginko i did exhaled through my nose at quite an alarming pressure. That was pretty fucking funny won't lie xD i swear this is the second time a girl has like kinda semi fallen for him, but honestly don't blame them. Dudes got it going for him won't lie.
But on a little sadder note, i've actually realised (after 31 episodes and 1 season i know pretty sad) that Ginko tends to help and show a lot of sympathy to humans and mushi, especially, who are often lonely and can't help it. This is both a really nice touch, but maybe an incredibly sad one because, Ginko himself is a Mushi magnet so he can't really settle down somewhere for too long before Mushi start swarming. Sadly this means he probably won't ever get a chance to live in one place, have a family with a wife and kids he practically always has to be on the move. But it's really touching that although he himself can't escape the harshness of loneliness he does everything in his ability to help others who can be helped out of it.
Honestly this should be this guys motto

Very good episode, it seems that Ginko appearance makes it very easy for him to get girls.

Also what kind of job mirror polisher even is ? I've never heard such an odd job in real life...

Many girls had been helped by Ginko. He can't stay in place which probably means he won't get a lover. Well, the only solution is to move from place to place

I honestly hate these types of girls/guys who thinks their life has no purpose just because their crush rejected them. Really disliked her at first but Im glad she moved on from it.


Also, I absolutely love the fact that Ginko actually helped that Mushi by providing it a better place.
