Mushishi
| You should watch season 1 either way, but it doesn't matter at all what order, since season 1 itself is jumbled around stories from the manga. There's really not much chronological order to speak of. |
Nonon_Jakuzure said: IMO its like watching Aria the Origination without watching the first two series. You won't appreciate its work fully without watching season one. It's totally not like that, since Aria follows chronologically, has somewhat of a plot, tons of character development, a stable of minor/major recurring characters who you get to know as the show progresses, and |
| Actually, there's characters from season 1 that appeared in the OVA and that are gonna appear in this season 2. I definitely don't recommend skipping season 1. |
| Well, because of it's episodic nature--in the sense that there's no particular overall 'story arcs' (like other animes)--in a partial way I'd say 'No'. However, to get a understanding (as we don't really know who/what individuals may or may not reappear in the 2nd season, from the 1st) of the personal relationships that Ginko may have w/ certain people that may show up in this season, it wouldn't hurt to go watch the first season. Besides, in the first season you get a bit more better understanding and a bit of back history on Ginko, the man, and how he came to doing what he does now. |

Oh it's possible ;) some of the best anime in history have been epsiodic, like Kino no tabi, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop etc. Mushishi is my favorite episodic anime. |
| "...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') |
