| First onna mushishi I think. Nice episode. I was sure it's gonna be a sad ending, then I thought it's gonna be happy but it actually was none of these lol. |
| There was a different atmosphere with this episode. The duality between the two mushi masters was fascinating and brought something new to the series. Ginko is a Godsend, though. I agree with Phaetons_Folly that the village mushi master made the right call, but if it wasn't for Ginko coming up with a solution to destroying the weed, Yahagi would've still lost her life. Afterwards, with the village no longer having a mushi master to guide it (unless she actually could find a replacement so quickly), many more villagers surely would've died to the Kagebii. Seems that for every time Ginko's presence (or, in rare cases, fuck ups) causes a death that wouldn't have occurred otherwise, his presence saves a life that would've died otherwise. Still missing the tragic endings though, TBH. |

| Fire that steals your heat. Neat. |
  |
| Mushishi show down is always interesting. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| I feel this bittersweet feeling at the end of each episode. I always remember him saying that Mushishi aren't evil or good, that they just exist. But I still somehow feel that mushi are mostly "evil" because most of them kill or damage their surroundings... |
| Ginko ftw!^^ |
 |
| Ginko's marksman skills 10/10 |

| Great character development with Ginko. Ginko is like so pro and knows alot. He also knows when to say no, no means no. He tries to help people but they dont want to be helped. He tells people there is a smarter way to deal with things but they dont listen. |
 |
| Nice episode.. Ginko is a boss! |
| Ginko's usually such a cool head, really interesting to see him get angry every so often like he did with the destructive villagers. |
I'm a jazz number with no beat, tune, or direction. |
| One of the better episodes, it had a good vibe. Not a tragic ending either. The decision making in the situation is really controversial, I too can't say that Ginko was "right" or that the female Mushishi was "wrong". |

| I like that in the past few episodes, Ginko has more conflict to deal with on the spot. Good episode! |
 |
| This wasn't a happy episode :c It's like how they can all see the weed. It's not the true form of the mushi, it's how it wants to appear so that people will think it's fire |
 |
| Ginko is the better mushi. |

| The last line was so creepy! "And there it will lie until winter comes." |
  |
| I like how she was trying to shift her responsibility of looking after the town to Ginko even though this was all her fault for not listening to him lol. How brazen of her. Fortunately, based Ginko was able to help out and even figured out a way to kill the weeds. |
 |
| "And there it will lie until winter comes." That reminded me of this short story where locusts attack a village and then they burn the crops and everything to survive. In the end, the locusts leave but they will come again. And that fear would remain for a while until they learn to deal with them fully. Seemed like the story was partly inspired from that. Really liked it. I won't call one Mushishi superior to the other, both are intelligent and did what they thought was the best for everyone. |
 |
| Bitch should've just listened to Ginko in the first place! =_____= He's a TRAVELING Mushishi. Of course he knows more than she does about mushi. Bitch please. Ginko is too nice to people. I was half expecting Yahagi to die >.> She owes him. A LOT. He saved her life. |
| Nice interactions between two Mushishis, I liked how they discovered more info about an already known mushi, it will hopefully be useful in the future when similar problems happen. |
 |
| Really amazing episode especially the beginning felt like a movie. |
| They killed the weeds that were killing all the plant life in the area but that led to another problem that actually killed some of them. It's a very mysterious yet interesting thing to see fire burn but freeze things instead of actually burning. She accidentally breathed in one of the deadly buggers and the cure actually happened to be doing something one shouldn't usually do. It's nice that they got the situation under control eventually. |
 |
| If Ginko isn't the best Mushishi around, then who is? |
| Nice conflict between two mushishis. This episode really goes to show what happens if a mushishi were to neglect fully researching a mushi before dealing with it. |
| ginko again ruled the scene |
 |
| Wow, another episode with a strong narrative value. In it we find another useful lesson for human society, and it shows how, although the interested parties can be people of intellect, this does not protect them from errors of human nature. Amazingly Ginko on this occasion, his figure is even more charismatic after this event. |
 |
"As an outsider, you all look like a bunch of panicking monkeys to me."  |
 |
| interesting episode, definitely had a lot of twists and turns and will admit i got slightly confused on what was happening but i got the gist. In short, humans (when in large groups) are very uncoordinated and don't use their brain properly. They'll listen to one directive and not question if it's really the best option. Burning the entire forest was indeed a big gamble, although it semi-worked there was probably a few other options that didn't involve what they did and in doing so caused there next problem. |
 "yabe." |
| The episodes keep getting more interesting and unusual the closer we come to an end. This one was very unique because we saw another Mushishi and her own ways of solving mushi problems that don't seem to go so well and Ginko has to save the day. |
| The music brought sm intensity against me this was a very solid episode as always. |
   |
| I thought we were in for a bad ending but just like the Mushi this episode did a bait&switch, a very good ep. Coughing leaves must do a number on one's throat. |
| Ginko should've collected some of the weeds as his smoking material... |
| Actually served her right, burning the entire mountain was no solution. I thought she would be an affectionate Mushishi having sympathy towards the Mushi. I guess appearances don't matter. |

| "Things have gotten troublesome, haven't they?" of course.. it's the result of stubbornness.. it's like a disease huh.. a disease that is only cured if we were affected by it's effects. It's true, when we are desperate and don't know what else to do, we tend to do stupid things, tend to make mistake. I've been like that too. But the thing that annoyed me was, the woman didn't listen to Ginko's warning, she also initially refused to be helped by Ginko. When things got worse and Hidane started to excrete poison from her body, she wanted to leave and hand over the village to Ginko, saying that she is sure that Ginko would not make the same mistake as her. Doesn't that seem irresponsible and annoying? She refused help from someone, and when she failed, she leaves her "failure" to that person. But thankfully in the end she was still able to be helped and help her village. |
 |
| they should've burned some of it beforehand to observe effectiveness & repercussions...it was a mushi not some normal weed after all |
 |
| Just the idea of a fire that lures humans to its heat only to freeze them is really damn cool (literally) RIP all those trees |
| One Mushi master and another. Ginko showing his skills, awesome. |
| Maybe this was a lesson on ones ego, how people refuse to see things in another perspective or take advice from other people. |
“There are only two types of people in the world--those who became otaku and those who didn't--and the latter just can't understand what the former is so excited about."--Ono Norihiro  |
| not as good as the previous episodes but still good, Ginko saves the day as always I'm enjoying the anime but I'd like to see Ginko make some mistakes too sometimes |
