Awesome, the show is back. :3

And once again, Ginko gets himself into some conflict with Mushi. Seeing the truth or not, I'm just glad the show is back in full. First episode is the usual amount of minutes, not 45 btw. Oh well.

After watching S1 a few months back in preparation for S2, I decided to read the manga

The chapter they decided to use for the premiere is a fitting one when compared to the premiere for S1

Is it really going to be 12 eps only though? : (

What I would call a calmer episode and a nice start for the series.

It's almost as if there wasn't a ~9 year gap between this and the first one.
In other cases I would say "what the hell?" but this is just lovely.

So split cour huh? Awesome.
12 episodes is not enough for my greedy Mushishi heart.

Very nice start to the series.
Haven't watched the first season or read the manga yet but this is still quite enjoyable and relaxing.
OST so far is very good and fitting.
This is quite a unique anime.
Can't wait till the next episode.

Nice first episode :) the mushi definitely look pretty, especially at the end when the guy drank the sake and looked at them from the roof. I like how he was inspired to keep going by the mushi. And also, a split cour? What great news!

As someone who finished the first season just recently, it feels like the show never went on a long break since it maintains the quality and style of the first season.

Still the same story quality and excellent choice of chapter for the first episode, but... a lot of backgrounds were fairly simple and not nearly as detailed as in S1. I hope they fix this in the BD release.

Excellent choice of opening episode. It almost seems as if they'd planned it all along since Isaza (who was among the wandering people following the lifestream in the last episode of season one) is present at the banquet to show the mushi-shis where the flow of kouki is thickest. It kind of ties the seasons together nicely. :)

You have been absent for far too long Mushishi, but I'm glad your back now so I'll forgive you.

Lovely 1st episode with the coming together of Mushi-shi from all over. I wouldn't mind tasting some of that saki as well! ^_^

When I watch Mushishi I feel alive and I'm glad to be alive to watch it. Seriously, I'm super happy it came back, I really missed it.

As for the episode, magical. The atmosphere is perfect as always, no offense to Masuda Toshio, but he probably was born because he had to do Mushishi's OST lol
Also, the opening is gently and really beautiful just like the work itself, couldn't wish anything better than this.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I thought it might just be my imagination, but I guess not.

I'm happy we'll have the final season in Fall(?), I don't want it to end so quickly!!
Plus, it'll make a perfect Christmas present^^

No you don't really have to watch the 1st season but you will be missing out on a wonderful series. Watch the first one and you will soon be hooked!
