| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I was just waiting for one of those horns to keep growing and have a robot pop out, but this isn't that kind of show... I will say that this whole series is rather peaceful, even as scary as these simple mushi appear to be. I mean horns and lack of hearing? There's no limit to there maliciousness :D |
 |
| This episode was pretty good, a little confusing, but still good. I thought the horns would just go back inside the head, it was weird seeing them fall =P |
| ^ well, through fact you can really hear it. But just when it is really silent. ^__^ Yeah, I'm also expecting for robots to come out. Hahahah! I thought it has the same VA for the boy in FLCL.. HAhaah! |
     |
| wow. this show is so twisted. i'm loving it. each episode so far almost scary on a sort of level, i think. like slightly disturbing. |
| I love the snow in this episode, combined with the music, it creates the perfect atmosphere =) |
 |
JeremyC said: I love the snow in this episode, combined with the music, it creates the perfect atmosphere =) yeah i totally agree =] so peaceful - even with katsup being right about it being slightly disturbing at times lol |
 |
| Beautiful episode, the setting and music for this episode were amazing as usual. |
| yeah...I have to agree that this series is a little odd and disturbing at times....but creative and alluring all the same. The "Mushi" seem simple organism of life...yet each episode they seem to have great consequences on their "hosts". I agree that these little "bugs" are truly maliscious lol. oh, and the first thing I thought of when I saw the horns was FLCL too! hahaha...waiting for Ginko to hit him with a guitar or something and knock the mushi out... |
 |
| The snow was beautiful. The "lava" they hear is probably the blood flowing through their hands :P |
 |
| Loved the concept of hearing lava. |
     |
| This show is too calming e_e... I like it but.... if a slug type thing crawled out of my ears or liek melted in my ears.... I would most likely scream o_o lol I hate snails... so this ep creeped me out >.> But this series is kinda addicting ^^"... I loved the snow... it just added to the peaceful effect >< |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Loved it. Another good episode. |
 |
| ah this anime is becoming one of my favourites...its so peacefull and sometimes creepy...so strange.. I agree, the snow and the music were really good.. I really like the sound of this anime :D |
| sick ass episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! cant wait to see more tomorrow!!!! HAHAHAH!!!!! :D |
| I actually covered my ears and could hear it. I love this so much<3 |

I'd like tossing your salad.-"Yuru"/MMMKD DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM MOTHERFUCKER?-SophieWophie<3 |
| I love it! :D |
| So beautiful episode ^_^ And I liked the boy...he's so nice) |
| Pretty episode! The story was so good, and the thing with the lava when you covered your ears was brilliant. I bet a lot of people covered their ears with there hand when they watched this episode. The horns falling of was weird though. Would've been better to see them shrink and disappear completely instead. |
| This one was sooo relaxing to watch. |

| Again, great episode. :) I love the quiet atmosphere of this show. The story, the art, the music... Really, everything is so good. |
| this is a masterpiece ^^ only one thing lacks from this show...more characters and at least a little background for everyone(i know it's ep3 but i can see this going to ep 26 and still giving nothing about ginko's past)... it's perfect on any other aspects anyway :) great story,5/5 |

| that little kid maho was ADORABLE... i'm so glad everything turned out alright. this show is really beautiful.... this is my sound~~ |
| I covered my ears and I hear wind blowing through a cave. I guess this kinda things are personal... I like how the cases are revolving around children. And I feel like this anime is a different type of storytelling. A good one. The falling horns were unexpected as well though. |
| I covered my ears and simply thought that this show is perfect to relieve from stress. So peace and quite.. When the "Ah" melted in Ginko's ears, it was disturbing yet Ginko's looks like nothing happened.. Seems like Ginko's gonna go to my favorite characters. :D |
| The soft rumbling...very peaceful feeling. |

Gjkl345 said: I don't understand the Un and Ah concept. Given they live simultaniously without one dying from the other's certian needs suchas how Ah needs silence to feed off of and Un needs noise that is readily supplied by the world around them, how the hell did the plot ender of the lava hand sounds work? Do the Ah hate direct sound contact or something? So no one's spoken to him upfront and personal? Hmm this is the only conclusion I can come up with, fascinating story, but I truly do want to make sense of it more. If anyone can help me with this, please respond right away, even if this forum is pretty dead by now I suppose and I might be ignorant for not understanding it fully. My bads. just finished watching it. Might be a problem with the subs, but the way I got it is: Ah feeds off the silence that Un creates by feeding off all the sound from the surroundings. Ah lives through that silence, which is created when Un absorbs all the sounds from the surroundings (except for mushi sounds). That is how they co-exist, or rather that is why Ah follows Un. So the only thing that should work against Ah is sound, and the sound of ones own "vitality" is something that cannot be completely absorbed (unless the person is weakened, like mahos mum). |
| "...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') |
| I love how this series is both peaceful but disturbing at the same time and I liked how this episode made you think about hearing. |
 |
| Every episode is such a great experience. Even though it was slightly confusing, it was still fabulous. Everything is so fascinating and unique… The idea of covering your ears and hearing lava was just a beautiful analogy; everyone probably hears a different thing depending on their past memories, though. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Those mushi are gross... |
    |
| Watching this episode with earphones was an experience and a half. The complete lack of background noise in most of the scenes made it so you could almost feel the weight of the silence. |
| So the mushi died because he covered his hands?? Confused |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
KatsuraRen said: Loved the concept of hearing lava. Same, and it is true. I never questioned why I could hear some rumbling sound when I covered both of my ears, haha. Wonder if what Ginko said is true - that it has something to do with your arm muscles! Anyway, still loving the music. Great episode. |

| -covers ears- Me: ... LOL OMG IT SOUNDS LIKE RUMBLING!! Weird because I did it before, but never realized it sounded like that. Awesomeness. My sister says it's because your thumb has a pulse (or something). 1. This show is creepy. I don't care what you guys say. 2. The boy's voice... IS SO CUTE. <3 3. I love it. Like... it's creepy and strange and I'm not sure why I"m watching, but there's just this.. allure that makes me watch the next episode... <3 |

| For some reasons, this episode reminded me a little bit of Elfen Lied |
 |
| I too covered my ears although I noticed it some time ago, surprisingly enough. Just never knew about the muscle part, if that's actually true. |
| this series is so dark yet so peaceful at the same time... my god i love it so much :) |
