| I am re-watching Mushishi (again), man this episode is so intriguing. |
 |
| Sort of a time travel episode, I guess though Ginko doesn't give enough explanation to the time loop, like does Ginko was forced to relive that moment again and again? I guess no, in every loop the Ginko is not the same |
| Quite a sad ending though, bringing his wife into the loop with him... |
| It would be interesting if Kaoru bring Ginko into the loop as well... |
| you know how when we started this show every one is like yeah wow such a calm and beautiful show imma watch it and be as calm as one can be? yeaaaaah... NO! this was absolutely not calm despite the soundtrack and all it was scary af I'm terrified. it was like watching dark (a German series about time) and DUDE I cannot sleep now -_- but it was a great episode. scary but great. |
 |
| At first I thought this was a metaphor about the folly of regret; the mundane version would be Kaoru often wondering what would have happened if he hadn't been unkind or dishonest regarding the sake brewer's son. But the ending really put a twist on it. IT's also a rare case of a mushi's influence on a human not being removed by the end of the story. I like how that resentful boy looms as such a mysterious figure. I was wondering if he would appear again in any way or if Kaoru would attempt to undo his bad behavior but it never went that way. |
| wow didn't expect this episode to be this much good |
| Life is about setting up priorities. The protagonist of this episode (Kaoru) faces three situations here: reliving his life over and over, having a lasting regret due to committing injustice to the apprentice kid, and loosing his wife. He chooses to save his wife over the other two in the end. Another well written and directed, enlightening episode. |
 |
| Beautiful episode. |
| This was one of the best episodes of the series. It had a bittersweet taste, kaoru sacrificing himself so that she survives was so lovely. |
| Absolutely brilliant episode. Wow. |
| This one fucked me up good. Don't even know what to say. |
| One of the best episodes so far. Loved the Black Mirror-ish vibe |
| I was yearning for a time-travel related Mushi, and thankfully, both the Mushi and the episode in general delivered. Great atmosphere, and such a bittersweet ending |
 |
| One of my favs of the series so far for sure. Pretty disturbing concept too |
 |
| Superb episode. Mushishi truly is one of the best anime series ever made. |
| I was hoping maybe Kaoru would by the end of the episode decide to live his life the way it was supposed to play out and actively decide not to travel back in time despite what happened to his wife, but I also can't say I wouldn't have made the same choice he did. |
 Monthly AWC 2025 Something coming here soon (maybe) |
| Masterclass execution. Easily in my Top 3 Mushishi episodes. |
| Decent time loop episode. |
