| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good episode, I liked how natural it was with a mushi being involved of course. The girl involved in the episode had this sense of despair where she's sick of even being herself. At any rate, I thought the mood captured the moments flawlessly. The ending touches of the episode were kinda funny. Still a good episode ofc. |
 |
| Gonna watch it now. Keeping this post reserved so I can be proud having the second post on this topic. Edit: I just finished it. I liked this episode just a bit more then the others so far. It got going pretty fast and I could relate to it. The mushi in this episode was also something I've always kinda dreamt off, something that follows me around. The character affected by the mushi in this episode looked like a normal side character, but the comedic ending part made me like her just a bit more then most other side-characters. The episode also showed how nice Ginko really is to both mushi and people. Overall this episode was just another serene and calming mushishi episode which I can't get enough off. 5/5 |

| Nice ending, didn't expect to hear Masumi say that at the end. |
| Nice stuff. Esp loved the ending of the ep. Lol'd so much at Ginko XD He was like "Oh shit, the bitch has her eyes on me? I need to make a tactical retreat" Hahaha Well that really was a fast recovery by her :P The ending when he told the Mizukagami to follow him to a better lake but he wasn't going to give it a body was nice ^^ |
 |
| I just wonder.. how would it benefit to the mushi to go to a lake that lies deeper in the mountain? more animals? |
| Loved the art and the music. At first I thought this was going to be the first OK episode of the season, but the episode got better every minute. I Really liked how the subject of failed relationship, and the consequent self-pity and loss of self worth, was handled. The show handled the subject matter much better than the mind-numbingly painful 5 cm per second. Especially loved the last couple of scenes, starting from the penultimate where Ginko explains why her life was worth saving, and how much better her life is compared to what it could be. Nice touch at the end :) Lyrisia said: I just wonder.. how would it benefit to the mushi to go to a lake that lies deeper in the mountain? more animals? Perhaps there are other mushi's deep in the mountain, so the mushi will feel less lonely. And its safer for the people living near the mountain too. |

| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| Loved this ep Loled at Masumi falling in love and asking him if he's married and such. overall it was superb |

| This was such an awesome episode. This is just an awesome series. I feel like it deserves more love. I was expecting a sad ending like in the first Mushishi. That part where she almost turned was dramatic and heart pounding as f@ck. Ginko you boss, attracting women and mushi wherever he goes. |

| Wow poor Masumi when the man told her that he didn't want a tomboy like her as his wife ._. Harsh. Well I'm glad in the end that she wanted to live. It was quite clever how she didn't need the mirror. I was thinking, oh crap, how's she going to get out of this without a mirror? But then I understood once she looked straight at the mizukagami. I also liked the humor at the end ^^ |
| Fuck! this chick is ugly.. |
| "Burn the heretics" |
| She recovered really fast from this heartbreak :D |
| The humorous conclusion to the story, and Ginko helping the mushi really seemed like a perfect ending to the episode. Loved it. |
| Simply beautiful, I loved how Ginko in the end, even helped the Mushi to be "lesser alone". Ginko too good. No wonder girls fall in love with him, can't really blame them. |
 |
| Mushi Trivia Mizukagami.. What a terrible mushi! :O Though, I think her significant other was even more terrible to indirectly reject her.. Well, she didn't even need a mirror to recover. :) Ginko was hilarious towards the end; leaving as quick as he could once she laid her eyes on him. XD Nice seeing how considerate Ginko is towards the mushi; leading it to a better lake instead of giving his body. :) Nice episode. Nice OST as always. |
 |
| Haha, the girl was cute at the end. The part with Ginko talking to the mushi was great :'D |
Misiakk said: She recovered really fast from this heartbreak :D She sure did hope she gets better luck with men next time. xD |
| Mushi are such such dicks, no matter how you look at it, they bring nothing but misfortune and misery. |
 |
| The mirror mushi now that can be a really dangerous one is not handled properly. Great episode!!! |

I believe her name was Tanyuu Karibusa (episode 20), the girl with the skin covered in ink. Yeah, me too. I hope Ginko and her will meet again sooner or later. |
|
| Very interesting comparison between the mushi and the girl, when the girl said she didn't simply want to be a being chasing someone else, which was exactly what she was doing at the time. That alone made her realize she wanted to move on, or at least live in a more lively way. Also, girl's moved on to better men. :) Ginko is indeed good-looking. |
| ginko: a master of mushi and also a master of the female heart mushishi delivering as expected ~ |
| hihi~ 안녕하세요~ こんにちは～ |
| Loved the parallel of her realizing she would become 'something that only follows people' with the way she had been behaving before and after the guy left. Ginko would rather be followed by the soul devouring mushi than that bitch, he got the fuck outta there. |
 |
| Good episode. The look on her parents' faces at the end was classic. |
| Ginko needs to learn the calming benefits that one-night stands can have on Mushishi. |

I have a feeling we'll see them together soon and Ginko will help her with that fragment of hinami's core that we see in Mushishi Special: Hihamukage. |
 |
| Ginko's still a big hit with the ladies I see, haha. |
| Good episode. There's so much things to live for. |
 |
| A much calmer and simple episode in contrast to last week's. I like how it delved into the nature of the mushi a bit more with Ginko's speech about them possibly having no souls but trying to crawl out of darkness regardless. It also makes me appreciate just how fortunate we as humans are, to be able to do so much in comparison to floral and fauna. Got a good laugh out of Masumi trying to hit on Ginko and chasing him away. I really like the lighthearted breaks of comedy relief. Ginko's compassion for the mushi really is something else. It reminds me of when he takes that mushi away in S1 that was possessing the children and the whole "Why haven't you killed me?" "Because you're still alive." |
 |
| This one was a little bit scarier than the others ! I realy liked it. I hope the upcoming episodes will have this ''ghostly'' touch as well ;) |

My mind went immediately to Cotton Changeling too. Helps that that episode was easily one of my favorites. As for this one, I really liked it, Koreye kinda already said most of what I wanted to point out but I'll just throw out that in my opinion, this episode had probably the best usage of sound this seasons sans maybe the third episode (which is still my favorite of the season). Oh, and the ending with Masumi hitting on Ginko was hilarious. |
| Wow, that was a really strong episode. Great art, use of soundtrack, etc. Masumi being so straightforward to Ginko was funny and a great tension breaker with everything that happened. Man, when Ginko described the kind of lonely world the Mushi lives in you could really tell he could understand them almost at the same level. After all, he travels alone, with only mushi around him most of the time. The end scene is what did it for me though, when he showed so much care for the mushi, allowing it to follow him so he could bring it to a better location to live in. Ginko was just so empathetic towards the mushi and it seemed like he was just trying to comfort it letting it know that it wasn't alone with that last line, "Don't look so lonely", he's definitely not a Mushi-shi just for his vast knowledge of them. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |

Also the other girl from season 1 episode 15, Suzu . |

You can just be yourself. Do things your own way, one step at a time. You'll get there. Just be yourself, you'll be fine." ~Fruit Basket |
| Really liked the final scene with Ginko and the mushi following him. |
 |
| ginko now a mushi whisperer. that girl XD |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| the quality was quite good in this one.... |
| I wonder if it's just me, but I think some shots of Ginko shown him more handsome in this episode? :3 |
 |
| Another great episode and lol at Masumi asking him if he's married XD. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| It's always the small parts like the ending that really build Ginko's character. It's great to see him show sympathy for the mushi. |
 |
| Haha, yet another girl falls for Ginko XD! That lake was gorgeous! Also nice little touch there at the end with Ginko showing some sympathy for the mushi :D |
