| damn that was waaaay too creepy when those kids started to talk and also when the woman stabbed Ginko. the conversation between the mushi and Ginko was amazing. |
| wow~ great episode~ i love the conversation between ginko and the second son, and that ginko said "but we are stronger" |
| I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned~ ♫ |
| this episode made me feel like i was watching the x files xD but nevertheless...this was maybe the best episode yet as enertainment...great :) 5/5 |

| Episode scared the shit out of me o.o |
 |
| wow awesome episode!!i loved it!! |
| is there no adoption in the time period this takes place? I didn't really like this one, too creepy. |
| Such junk... |
| What a strong episode, and what a dangerous mushi. Sad mother... wakka9ca said: so Ginko now has a talking mushi companion? From now on, it will avenge him, yelling at every 5 minutes: "Hey! Listen!" |
RyanMortos said: I didn't really like this one, too creepy. I didn't like this episode that much either ...just can't put a finger on what made me feel that way. I loved all the others ones :P ...Maybe the creepy "baby" voice hade some part of it. |
| Hehe he should sell the mushi to Adashino. He'd love it! |

Pouring child love for something that isn't even human. Hope after she isn't infected anymore she can bear her own human child and forget the mushi. Getting stabbed made a good variety. Talking Mushi companion is interesting. And I just realized I skipped episode 20 by accident. |
| Creepiest shit I've ever seen. But it's a wonder ... how parents can come to love their 'child' despite it being a green gooey thing. |

Its like Roald Dahl says in the opening lines of his book 'Matilda', and I quote: It's a funny thing about mothers and father. Even when their own child is the most disgusting little blister you could ever imagine, they still think he or she is wonderful In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a deliberate reference by the mangaka/writer to this social phenomenon that majority of parents across the globe seem to exhibit, given how there have been other subtle allusions elsewhere in the anime. |

| This is the 1st episode that I didn't like. + music was annoying. |
 |
| Creepiest episode so far imo. When it started talking I was just like "wtf, oh really?" |
| This is one of the thought-provoking episodes I've ever seen. It has some mix of suspense and thrill. Ginko sure has straight decision in killing the children though he thought of much slower way to make the parents understand. And what's more hard to decide when those children talked about not killing them and questioning Ginko's motive. What an interesting conversation :) Also, I would probably understand Aki's actions in attempt to kill Ginko but hell yeah, he's the kindest man I've ever seen. After being stabbed, he was like, "Ok. I want to leave here." lol The end was something confusing yet satisfying. I hope we can see some talking slimes next time. xD |
| Good God that was creepy as hell, reminded me of children of the corn. When the mushi children started talking and communicating it was scary O_o Awesome episode. |
 |
| One of the best episode that I had seen. That mushi are so creepy and it show that how dangerous mushi can be. |
    |
| This has to be the most disturbing episode I’ve seen. It was absolutely amazing, it left me in suspense at every moment; I surely won’t forget about it anytime soon. I actually panicked when Ginko was stabbed. …Parents love their children no matter what they are, don’t they…? |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| I have seen this episode 5 min ago and i can say that it was awesome, i loved it. |
| It's like 'Children of the Corn'. |
| LOL, she tried to kill him, it's expected anyway. |
 |
| He got a companion! That was actually creepy. |
Osaka117 said: That's gotta be the weirdest ep yet. I had a WTF face on the entire time. At least the eerie-ish music at the end perfectly matched the blatant weirdness of this episode. I, too, was kind of shocked when Ginko got stabbed. When the screen just showed her grabbed him, I thought she was just trying to hold him back - it didn't even occur to me that he could have been stabbed... d'oh. |
| Reminded me of Children of the Corn, or in this case I guess "Children of the Fungus" |
| Harems don't exist in America. If one guy is constantly surrounded by beautiful girls, then he's probably the gay friend. |
MaedhrostheTall said: 1. What the fuck? 2. Holy shit Ginko! 3. "Its not our fault".. "Its not our fault either"..."Then why?"..."Because we're stronger." Very true. You know, I think Ginko should have destroyed them the first time... She could try to have another child, one that won't cause her grief. But nice episode. I was worried when Ginko was stabbed. T_T |
| Oh no, eyerok must had a heart attack knowing when his hero was stabbed! |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
Confucius said: Oh no, eyerok must had a heart attack knowing when his hero was stabbed! I nearly did actually. I was like "WTF NOO" for a split second, then I realized it was ep 21 and I calmed down lol. |

| jello baby :)...this is one of the freaky episode in the whole series...More like children of the corn.... |
| this episode was creepy x3 i wonder what he'll do with it |
 |
| Ginko, smoking even after passing out. Nice episode, but I will never understand the delusional people we see in some episodes. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Wonderful episode as usually. So I am assuming the mushishi child is Ginko's campanion now? either way one of the creepier episodes, and when Ginko got stabbed I was actually quite shocked. |
 ☯ĄŴĖŞŐΜĖ☯! |
| For the first time, I'm not sure what Ginko did was right or wrong. My logic says that he did the right thing, the thing that would at some point make the family happy again or at least not make it more painful for them. On the other hand it was ethically wrong to "steal" their baby and lie to them, even though it was the best thing for them. I like it, sometimes people don't know what is best for them and therefore you must lie to them, so that they may live happy... On this note Yang Wenli said: "Goverment of the people or goverment for the people, I wonder which it is" |
 Nuff said. |
| Welp, horror's always just right around the corner. Are we gonna be expecting a talking liquid face now for the rest of the series? Could be pretty sweet. |
| That was some strange Mushi, quite something to eat up the child while the woman is pregnant to than gain strength to be born it self :p |
 |
| That lady had to have some pretty strong motherly instincts to want to raise a green pile of goo that came out of her. I would be horrified! Creepy, but cool episode. |
 |
| Holy shish, that was effin' tragic. A mushi that kills an unborn baby and then makes copies of that baby to gather food for itself? And if threatened, it will try to play with your emotions and burn your house down? JESUS. This one of my favorites episodes so far because of how disturbing it is. |
| what a powerful episode! and that stabbed..... i thought that was realistic when you know someone that came to your house is gonna kill your children. i would do the same kind. XD Love it! |
 |
| Wow Mushishi episodes are getting more and more dramatic |
| Wow.. that was so strange. Creepy... |
| Psycho bitch with arsonist fungus children. Creepy stuff. |
 |
| Creepy episode but I liked how the Mushi developed into a talking human like creature |
| oh god, what can i do ? this show just too good. I want to give score 10, but my own system told me not to give score 10 to unfinished anime I watching ... T^T |
