| An excellent episode once again. Mushishi never fails to amaze me. Infact, this was probably one of my most liked Mushishi episodes yet. |
 |
| This was somehow very sad... |
| wow.... just, wow.... Such a beautiful episode; While the message that is brought in this chapter is not rare to our ears (to not be trapped in our past and to live by looking forward), but the way it handled the message and conveyed it through the use of time loop is simply amazing. Definitely the best episode I've seen this week. This episode, I LIKE IT!!  |

| One of the best episodes ever. 5/5!!! |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| wow i enjoyed this epiosde very much. it was very depressing and had a sad ending to it. the music fit to all of this perfectly |
| This is probably one of my favorite episodes of Mushishi! Just great. |

| I myself have never experienced deja vu so I can't relate, but still, excellent episode. |
| Wow that was...gah. It was incredibly sweet (when he hugged his wife after turning away from the tunnel) but so depressing and terrifying at the same time. Imagine if one had a shitty life then had to re-live it over and over again. Guy's lucky to have such a wonderful family. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| This episode make me go hollow and almost empty. Jesus, that was fucking tragic tale. |
| Great episode. This season of Mushishi has had a very powerful start. I always find time loop stories, like Groundhog Day or All You Need Is Kill interesting, so I enjoyed this episode. The ending left me wanting more though... Did he manage to avert the accident? Did the tunnel absorb him? Or did he change his past, so that he had never met his wife? |
 |
| I've been waiting for a time travel episode for so long. Beautifullying tragic. |
| Kaoru's endless loop was quite deep for just a mere 20 minutes It's ofcourse somewhat similar to "Groundhogday" or "Endless Eight" Though being afraid to loose his precious wife he eventually brought her in as well which is quite tragic |

He is trapped inside the loop but doesn't seem to be able to realize it since the mushi has become one with him (note that Ginko said that he shouldn't enter the tunnel again otherwise he'll become one with the mushi), while his wife is in the state where she know and realize that she's experiencing the loop (just like her husband before). Possibly, he averted the accident, since the accident took place after he decided not to go to the circle again. But the cost of that is that he and his wife probably will be trapped in that loop. At least that what I understand. I could be wrong though. |

| I really wanted to see them interact with Ginko again at the end of the episode, but this way it's even darker. The circle is broken, but the time loop continues on. I have high hopes for the last season, and this was a great episode. |
| I'm at a loss for words... I never thought I would see Mushishi build such a captivating story in just 20 minutes. Kaoru's wife almost died so he brought her through the time loop mushi. Does that mean that Kaoru's wife will keep dying over and over again? Wow! This is some serious Steins;Gate shit! Fantastic episode! Mushishi Zoku Shou's 2nd Season has been on a roll. I believe it has the potential to be better than both seasons at this rate. I'm ashamed that Mushishi Zoku Shou has less than a quarter of the amount of members as the original Mushishi. 10/5 |

| This week episode is Freaking Genius! |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Omg.. that ending was devastating... ._. |
| holy shit, that was so unsettling A+ it really made a great impression on me @@ |
| That was a really good episode. |
| Perhaps one of, if not my #1 favorite mushishi episode so far. The tragic-happy ending left me speechless. |
| Hmmm. I wonder if the ending really was tragic. I mean, yeah they're stuck in an endless loop, but it's not a bad loop to be stuck in. I dunno, I find the ending to be oddly romantic. |
| That guy just go through Endless 8. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Excellent episode. I've commented on this format many times before but how the mushi live and the way it brings out human instinct is really what makes this fun to watch. The plot was predictable but I don't think it made the impact any less. I liked the BGM as usual too. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| Loved the concept this episode. What a powerful Mushi to be able to cause something like that. |
 |
| Well that explains Haruhi's endless eight |
 |
| 09:35 loop? 10:25 LOL 19:45 that's right Beautiful. 8/10 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. |
| FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU |
| Depressing... |
 |
| Even though the concept is simple the execution is freakin great and the ost suck you into the story |
 |
| Very interesting and kinda sad story. |
| This was probably one of the most terrifying episodes of a show I've seen in my life. The film "Synecdoche New York" is the only thing I can compare this too in terms very realistic representations of horror. |
| As others said, yes, this is one of the terrifying episodes Mushishi has offered. Thinking about the loop is already a mind-rape. =,= |
| When Kaoru hugged Iku and said, "From now on, I'll be seeing a new day, every day," I got chills. I thought it was going to have a blissful yet poignant ending and that was that. Then the last 5 minutes happens... ;_; These kinds of open endings are cruel! But the way it ended with the final scene being Ginko showing up at their house for shelter... so perfect. I admit, just a few tears welled up in my eyes during the credits. 10/10 episode |

| Brilliant |
| Damn this episode, just amazing how this anime manages to take so many turn and be so damn good! That ending though :/ Let's see what's next! |
 |
| osoroshii trap that they fall in, and very sad episode. But how come Ginko and other people get in this loop again and again, and which one of these "Ginko" was real?! |

| i would love to be a part of the world in mushishi, people are willing to let a random stranger stay over for the night. |
 |
| Great episode, again, but fuck the ending. it's sad if you think about it. He will propably go again and again in that hole with his wife. |
Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness. Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. How would you like to see what death is like? -Enma Ai |
