Mushishi
| All the next episodes are like those 4, so you probably won't like it. |
 |
| You sound like you're more the Guilty Crown type of viewer so I'd rather you drop it before you get even more 'bored'. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| no it doesn't, it's the same thing. you can drop it. |
| No, all episodes are the same. If it's boring to you, drop it |

| Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove. Does it feel lonely? |
| Just watch it. |
pralan said: No, all episodes are the same. Lol no... OP try to watch just one or 2 episodes a day and it should be much more enjoyable. It remains episodic till the end, but if you watch it with that in mind it becomes a much better experience. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |

| Well, it's not for everyone. The opinions on Mushishi are very diverging. Some thought it was boring and dropped it whereas others have said it's worthy of being called a masterpiece. Personally, I fall more in the later category. Some eps are better and darker than others so you could try giving it a few more eps. |
| Ginko smokes mushi all day, every day. |

Some eps are better and darker than others so you could try giving it a few more eps. im curious about the show 2 , what show u would compare it 2? I think Mushishi is similar to Natsume Yuujinchou; both are episodic (Natsume a little more focused on the main character) and both characters can see otherworldly beings/spirits. Natsume is more light-hearted and has more humor. Another that I haven't seen but sounds similar is Kino no Tabi. |
| It's worth watching.. It's worth reading.. The soundtrack's worth listening. pralan said: No, all episodes are the same. lol no.. Every episode has a different view of storytelling. Some episodes are darker and more emotional than others. That said, OP, if you find it boring, its probably because the pacing is slow. If you can't watch slow paced anime, maybe you should drop it. bpSORE said: laellay said: Well, it's not for everyone. The opinions on Mushishi are very diverging.

Immediate answers would be Natsume Yuujinchou, Kino no tabi and Mononoke. Natsume is way more formulaic, Kino is not up to Mushishi's level tbh. In terms of manga, YKK is pretty similar to Mushishi..

Immediate answers would be Natsume Yuujinchou, Kino no tabi and Mononoke. Natsume is way more formulaic, Kino is not up to Mushishi's level tbh. In terms of manga, YKK is pretty similar to Mushishi.. The main difference between Mushishi and Natsume is that there is a foxed social environment in Natsume, plus the setting is modern day Japan. I wouldn't call it formulaic though. Kino only has the episodic storytelling as a similarity, aside from that they are pretty different and set out to do different things. Imo they're both equally good. And Mononoke isn't episodic, but has 2-4 episode arcs. What I'm trying to say is, it's hard to compare Mushishi to any other series without giving a wrong impression of it, to some degree. Sure, it's easy to find mature episodic s-o-l kind of series, but that's not enough similarity to compare them to Mushishi, imo. |

| What sets this anime apart is the calmness and serenity that it gives. After watching the first episode I knew I was in love. I can't really find a flaw in this anime... maybe the character design, but I found those to be refreshingly simple/realistic. |
| Apologies for reviving a dead thread, but: Fundog said: Speak for yourself, the majority know how good this anime is in every aspect. You don't seem to like any of the good anime out there. They're making a second season to animate the rest of the manga, what do you mean milking? /facepalmNot really, it's pretty mediocre tbh. And it doesn't get better. If I recall correctly, the first few episodes were all just Mushi which impeded the 5 senses. If you've watched any Asian horror or supernatural series, you'll find this series to be incredibly underwhelming. And the other elements are mediocre, although the soundtrack is pretty good. The new season that is coming out is just a way for the creators to further milk the series. |
| If you watched 4 episodes and it's boring for you then drop it. It's definitely not for you lol. Maybe you prefer comedy, romance, or action instead? Mushishi doesn't have those. I personally love it though. |
MBarcamilan said: i watched the first 4 episodes and it was little boring :/ does it get better ?? no spoilers , please ! thanks Don't let a few episodes get you down. If you dont care about the characters = boring. There are some episodes where you care and you get really engaged, this is the sweet spot, then its like the best anime ever of this type. Also the tip to get engaged is: There is a problem - > Oh, I wonder why? (gets interest) - > Mushi involved? - > How is it solved? - > What will Ginko do? - > The plot thickens. |

| I tried once, I put it on-hold immediately. Now I devoured whole series at once, it's truly amazing! You just need to be in right mood for this chilling and soothing series. give it a try, it's worth it :) |
 |
| If Mushishi isn't worth it than I don't know what's worth it. It's phenomenal and I mean it (not just as a figure of speech) Period. |
