| Beautiful ost played when Those bird-like mushi were leaving the island Mina getting her voice stolen by that mushi |
 |
| Beautiful episode, the scene with the man asking to be accepted again was so touching. |
 |
| The episode was very good. But if I was Mina's father I would never forgive those guys, I'll make sure they live in hell. |
| Still gives me the chill even when re-watching. That ending with all the birds lifting off, damn. |

| So good TT_____TT I can't get enough of these music ahhah the end mushi birds flying away were pretty :3 |
| once and again beautiful to see but the story didnt give me rhe same feels like in season 1 :( |
 |
| its been nearly a year since I watched this show and still feels like yesterday. loved the back story that red sea was pretty sad but really well drawn. |
| If the previous episode had failed to be impactful, this one, although not as enthralling as the best episodes of "Mushishi", manages however to keep the attention alive on the subject. Beautiful the final scene of the episode, the narration this time was pleasant and intriguing; moreover, more than one message could be read between the lines. Excellent drawings and backgrounds, ditto the soundtrack and the ending. |
 |
| nice episode with a sort of redemption and acceptance theme around it. That ending was fucking amazing holy shit. End scene with all the Mushi like birds flocking back to the sea with the added sound track made it look and feel like a studio Ghibli movie i swear |
 "yabe." |
| What a beautiful episode! The ending was so nice!! |
 |
| Another beautiful episode with amazing atmosphere which is best part about Mushishi, I think I like Zoku Shou a little bit more than the first series. |
| Well that last scene is nice and all but it still doesn't change the fact that those Mushi bastards steal the girl speaking ability for no reason.... |
| wow that last scene with mushis in the air was so beautiful |
 |
Phantom- said: The episode was very good. But if I was Mina's father I would never forgive those guys, I'll make sure they live in hell. What , why ? The whole episode was about redemption and learning to forgive. The only thing the chief did was make a choice -a choice between his wife or another mans wife. Almost any normal person would choose his own wife. I'm not saying this is a good thing but it's not also like a bad thing. Just hard to explain, harder to choose. It's like one of those moral dilemma problems. |
| The inclusion of the red tide was a very interesting idea. To the fishermen in the story, the red tide must be as mysterious as the consequences of any of the fictional mushi in any other story in this series. You could say the microorganism that cause the red tide are a kind of mushi that really exists; unseen by human eyes they carry on their lives for their own ends and without any intentions for good or ill occasionally cause a gross event that affects humans. |
| A beautiful meditation on the nature of tragedy and how it paralyses us and those around us, with a captivating message of coming to terms with our loss and forgiving others to thrive in our communities. How this show manages to maintain so much thematic resonance in 20-minute isolated episodes will never cease to amaze me. |

| Heartbreaking and truly touching. The offer of the pearl warmed my heart. |
| Really loved this episode. Probably my favorite so far |
 |
| Sad episode with a happy ending. It's nice how that man forgave everyone and went back to live to the village with his daughter. |
 |
| Absolute amaze-balls epsiode - such a positive story about the importance of community, vulnerability, sharing and forgiveness. The final shot with the birdies flying off on the beach gave me goosebumps. The visuals and the music just feel upped a notch compared to first season. The red tide is a throwback to the wife's blood in the waters - both painful events linked by memory and trauma that led to the diver isolating from his own community. What heals him is that he needed to forgive himself and the village. "There was nothing anybody could do" is a line that's used for both events; the first time, he does not accept that. But this second time, the man accepts, forgives himself and the village, and switches off the pain valves after 10 years. A+ Tier epside - maybe even S-Tier. |

| "...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') |
