| With episodes like this, it's hard to not see the mushi as evil or wrong. But I think that's what makes this show so beautiful, these conflicting emotions that never have a definitive answer. I'm at least glad that despite what happened, that family in the valley wasn't torn apart by it and this ended on a happier note. |
 |
| Well that was a heart warming episode. I hope the family in that valley live long and prosper. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Wow, Ginko is having trouble and is almost frozen lol. Damn, now that's one great meal you got there Ginko! Winter my ass... what the hell is going on... So something is affecting the son of the old guy huh. Damn... poor Chiyo... So he chose to keep that power after all... |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Nice episode. |
 |
| I don't really know how, since this episode wasn't particularly sad, but I ended up crying at the end. Great episode 10/10. |
| Damn impressive episode, another tragic backstory but damn it was just so good! Really interesting and I do wonder what the last episode of this season will offer us. |
 |
| Exceptional episode. Another excellent use of color when depicting the green valley, the contrast with the snow also. And then there is the story, from the episodes this season this one had the most emotional impact on me. Beautiful and sad at the same time. One of my favorite Mushishi episodes. |
 |
| Beautiful episode with great landscapes. |
| What I saw the valley has been covered by snow, I thought it meant he continue to do that for several years until he pass away. Turns out to be him taking the purge at that time instead. |
| 1622 she producess lifemilk 7.5/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Bleeding breastmilk, huh? Hawt. The art was positively BEAUTIFUL this episode. I mean, Mushishi always has beautiful artwork... but those landscapes were just... *____* |

| He has a lot of children it can make up for some of his inhuman vigor |
 |
| Chiyo was beautiful and it was much more beautiful to see the valley covered in snow imo :) |
 |
| What a tragic story, drinking the life of your own mother. The landscape again was truly beautiful though. |
 |
| Every anime has a weak episode.. this was Mushishi's one.. Nice background story, good characters, but I just didn't felt like it was going to somewhere.. everything too slow.. I duno.. it's beautiful, but pretty weak. |
| 5/5 |
 |
| I like the episode's indeterminate ending. I do hope that Houichi won't work himself to death though. |
  |
| Now I'm scared of drinking milk tonight. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| So I guess the fact that it snowed in the valley means that he took the cure/purge as others have mentioned. |
 |
| The art is consistently fantastic, I love it! This episode was no highlight, but it was still a pretty interesting story. ezaya said: Now I'm scared of drinking milk tonight. Then don't, you don't need it. |
 |
| He eventually took the purge. If not, Ginko would never say that the valley came to face hardships in a few years' time. Still, it worked out in the longer run as the family was living happily and moderately. One of the happier episodes tho the mother feeding her blood to her son in the form of milk was heartrending. Great stuff. |
 |
| Much tragic drinking the life of your own mother. |
 |
| Well, he drank his mother blood, that was milk, pretty hardcore and weird. Glad for the happy ending. |
 |
| I didn't realize he took the purge til I saw these comments lol. Glad they listened to Gin eventually. Ppl who are stubborn will only suffer. |
| standard s2 mushi ep |
 |
| This time, there is a further qualitative leap in the relationship between man and Mushi, the narrative shows a symbiosis between them, but the interesting thing is that there is also an important life lesson at the end. Also this time Ginko is almost a spectator. Drawings and backgrounds, excellent. |
 |
| I thought Ginko was taking a nap in the cave, guess I was wrong haha. feels all over again, poor mother died using her blood as nourishment, that last quote. "milk turns to blood, nourishes the earth, and then return to it, thus, the earth is imbued with a living, welling tide" |
| Nice episode, was a bit in awe that about the start though. wtf happened to Ginko?? Probably lost his footing somewhere in the thick snow but still, had me worried there for a minute. Ahhhh one thing i will say is, i do actually wonder how old Ginko really is, there's quite a few time skips here and there, but 7 years? Wowzer. Was happy the guy didn't hate the Mushi for his mothers death, being told something like that after finding out the truth was shrouded in lies is a tough to get through. But the dude took it like a champ. |
| Another perfect episode! I love this anime so much, its so good <3 |
 |
| Beautiful episode, but that breast milk part definitely is weird |
| Another winter episode... |
| Super stamina seems to be a common power that Mushi can gives, it's pretty useful though even though you can't sleep. |
| Well it would be nice if there's a on/off switch to the super stamina |
| And I guess this is the first time this show showed breast hahaha |
| I'm so glad that this had a happy end. |
| Milk is the blood of the earth. |

| if he did take the purge they wouldn't be able to tile the crop during a harsh winter. the rest of the valley was covered in snow bc guess what it was a harsh winter. what are you all on eh |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| It's not every day that people drink from weird random ponds. |
