Good episode.

For some reason I reckon those 2 (inskstone maker and sensei) would make a good couple.

The part when the Mushi clouds came out from the children was just beautiful.

What could be better than enjoying a peaceful show and learn Earth Science. :D

LOL to what they did with the hailstones. :)

Sensei and Ginko pair was kinda funny..

And the inkstone maker goes back making inkstone again even if it caused loss of her loved ones before. Liked it.

Great ep, once again.

Once more, Mushishi delivers another of its endlessly fantastic episode.

I believe I was the only who wasn’t surprised to see Adashino again. I had the hunch he would appear more than once in the rest of the episodes since the moment I saw him. He’s really a fun guy.

This Mushi seems to be of the same type as the rainbow one; both are natural phenomena. It was beautiful how it ascended after being freed from the children’s bodies.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

I noticed that too. Coincidentally, both this episode and the one with the rainbow are my favorite episodes so far.

I genuinely felt cold as they were climbing the mountain while watching this episode, which just made me connect even more with the story :)

This was another amazing and beautiful episode. Had some comedy and earth science thrown in and that sensei guy is pretty cool. The ink stone maker was cute too.

Pretty pink puff clouds...interesting stuff.

I second that!

I like the idea of the doctor becoming a semi-recurring character. :D I like him and his "dangerous hobby" of mushi-artifact-collecting. Maybe it's the only way he can get a thrill out of life, since he doesn't seem to see any serious medical action in that little village.

I just realized that if the woman just knew that the method to get rid of the Mushi is as simple as that, she could have save her fiance.. Anyway, i like this episode.

Oh the relationship between Ginko and his pal, friends for life. I really feel bad when children are the ones who are dealing with possible death, so I was happy to see Ginko so confidently find the cure.

Curious how the hail is okay though when it's technically mushi. Wouldn't munching on them release them into your body? Ah well, there's probably an explanation given the attention to detail paid in this series to such possible inaccuracies.

I like how Ginko admonishes Adashino about his hobby, that the creatures are not something to take lightly. And it's good that he does since Adashino learned his lesson. The "cloud" looked quite beautiful.

Anyways, good episode as always. Was pretty sad that Tagane's fiance died because of the Mushi.

Tagane's alive because she got lucky: she lives in a high place and passed by a mountain on her way to her fiance (who wasn't so lucky).

The sound effects as the hail rained down was amazing. 5/5 for that feature alone.

Just as the other episodes this episode was calm and relaxing. This show is truly unique. There's no drama here, just mushi. Calm soothing mushi..

Couldn't agree more. This show is perfect to end the day with and see 1 episode before falling asleep. Always beautiful and relaxing

I guess the hail wasn't technically mushi, the mushi probably just makes hail form and fall to the ground. The mushi ended up in the stone and became dangerous because too much time had passed without clouds, but otherwise is harmless, just causing hail.

good ending would have been a bit better if it snowed but i guess hail makes more sense
Kind of a duckest move asking for an inkstone with a mushi in it at the end
well this one was a happy ending

Yeah, but you'd say they'd add some flavouring. Maybe some Yuzu juice and sugar,.. Japanese sherbet FTW!

This was a slower, less interesting episode, but I loved the resolution. The final scene put a huge grin on my face.

Still, I find the last two episodes to be worse than the first ones.
