Synopsis

Ghostly, primordial beings known as Mushi continue to cause mysterious changes in the lives of humans. The travelling Mushishi, Ginko, persists in trying to set right the strange and unsettling situations he encounters. Time loops, living shadows, and telepathy are among the overt effects of interference from Mushi, but more subtle symptoms that take years to be noticed also rouse Ginko's concern as he passes from village to village.

Through circumstance, Ginko has become an arbiter, determining which Mushi are blessings and which are curses. But the lines that he seeks to draw are subjective. Some of his patients would rather exercise their new powers until they are utterly consumed by them; others desperately strive to rid themselves of afflictions which are in fact protecting their lives from devastation. Those who cross paths with Mushi must learn to accept seemingly impossible consequences for their actions, and heal wounds they did not know they had. Otherwise, they risk meeting with fates beyond their comprehension.

It was only a matter of time before I began writing reviews on MAL, seeing as writing reviews, or just writing about things I care about in general, is something I enjoy nonetheless.

Just like with the previous season, not much has changed between this and the first one, and that certainly isn’t a bad thing. On the contrary, it’s exactly what I, and probably many others, kept watching for. If there’s any substantial deviation from the regular “Mushishi formula” that’s worth mentioning it’s the fact that Ginko kind of takes a seat back in many of the episodes. He enters each individual story much later ...

“Kept as distant, inferior and abnormal beings. They were very different beings from the fauna and flora we were used to. They were, in fact, a group of grotesque beings more fearsome than you since the days of yore. Unnoticed common sense recognized him as 'mushi'”.

This is an excerpt from the work that explains about the Mushis (which can be translated as 'insect'), supernatural beings that inhabit the natural plane, although they can only be seen by people with special abilities. Mushis are extremely basic life forms, and several species can be found representing the near-mythical forces of nature. Few people have the ability ...

Mushishi Zoku Shou 2nd Season


Of all the episodes and all the seasons, this is the best in my opinion.

The anime is still episodic and has no main plot until the bitter end. But this season finally presented several short stories with much more background, depth, and individuality than in previous seasons. Here, most episodes also had a stronger atmosphere and faster pacing.



Other than that, there's nothing more to say about this. There was another episode about Ginko's past, even if it didn't add much, you still saw an unexpected event from the past.
