| So she didn't age or starved to death? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
katsup said: the ending was nice, but i wanted to know how old aya was when ito returned home.. Too bad the circumstances under which she returned were so vague, but I guess most people were too happy that she had actually returned to care right away. XD koreye said: one of my favs I second that. I haven't had a favourite up until this point, but this one for me was one of the best. |
| I would have preferred the sad ending. The happy ending is kind of... a quick conclusion. But the mail system is awesome. :D |
| This is my favorite episode so far. |
| That's an interesting way to communicate, poor Aya. |
| Damn this was a nice episode I hoped for a happy reunion but the ending was a bit unexpected still she managed to get out of there but I doubt she'll ever return to her sister! |
 |
| Good ending for a change. Loved it. |
 |
| Really interesting episode! I liked it, nice ending too |
| So she was reunited with her parents and I guess Aya eventually as well? That's as close to a happy ending as we seem to be getting here. Loved the episode, one of the best. Also. Real cool concept with the uro-passageways and the mushi-mail system. Adds to the already fascinating setting of this anime. |
| With the way these happy endings go, I feel like it was probably many years after the fact that Ito showed up. I'd like to imagine that Ito somehow got to meet up with her sister, but with the way that it was phrased as a legend and such, I feel like she got back to her hometown, but possibly everyone she knew in the past was dead. Ah wells. Bittersweet. |

| That mail system is cool. Just very different sort of episode. |
 |
| Bittersweet episode. Also, I am the only one who can't read the episodes' titles at the beginning? |
eminagnam said: Yeah it's very cool. But then you think about what the person who has to deliver the messages has to put up with. It has to be the worst job ever! You cant go in enclosed spaces unless you want to be eaten by a tiny hairy creature.Adramelech said: What a way to send letters ^^. Yeah very creative! Mushi are evil and should be exterminated!!! |
kisarachan said: Factor said: I liked the the entire cocoon letter system and how the Mushi worked within it. I thought it was pretty cool. ^This, I've been wondering how Ginko conveniently knew which places needed a Mushishi Such a creative system, utilizing mushi. The Uroana seems like a scary place to go into, but it's also interesting how they can be used as shortcuts. But seriously, poor Ito. She's got the worst luck ever. I'm glad she made it back, even though she could no longer speak and was still a child. Aya's work wasn't in vain after all. |
| Amazing episode. One of my favorites so far. The primitive mail system powered by mushi, plus the never ending cave elements were ingenious and cool. Story was tragic and mysterious, but had a great ending. Pretty much perfect. |

| So you cant be in enclosed space so wouldn't it be enough to just have a window sized hole on the house? Or if it's about just the doors then why not just nail a block on the wall of the entrance so that the door cant be closed. Otherwise i great episode and i liked that the sister didn't get teleported because of a accidentally closed door. |
| omg... the ending <333 *^* I'm so glad that she's alive. |
| But I laughed so hard at the old woman :D |
| Probably my favourite episode so far :) Glad she returned, so touching <3 |
| Innovative mail system , i liked it Bad Luck ito :(, glad to see ito return, but i still don't know where she is. |
 |
| "Close that huge hole in your heart... before you become unable to come out of it." Amazing episode. Everything's been said already. I just wanna add something I didn't see posted here as well, the uro cave seemed to be a sort of metaphor for the hole in Aya's heart. Very poetic and very beautiful, especially how she broke down crying in the midst of it. Really goes to show she "got" it right there and then, that Ito's survival was unlikely. Also I'm glad someone noted out that Aya was sending letters through cocoons in hopes of one reaching Ito, looks like it worked out seeing as how she came out with a letter ^_^. Overall one of my favorite episodes, there were so many good scenes.. Ito disappearing, uro cave, and just the ending itself. Also concept wise amazing arc/lore for communication amongst mushishi. 10/10 (But I accidentally voted it 4/5 up top yo man how do I re-vote LOL) |

| man that way of saving her sister was beautiful. she was so diligent |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Good ending for a change. I'm so glad T___T |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| yay for happy endings |
| A somewhat good ending, although I'm pretty sure Ito's memories were probably erased. At least that's what Ginko said, that if you're there too long you lose memories. Great episode. |
| the world building in this series is phenomenal, i love how they introduce this form of communication between mushi. The story was incredibly touching just like the past 16 episodes |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Thanks god for the last scene or I would've locked myself in a closet and cried for the rest of the day. |
 |
| damn nature, you scary! |

| Both a happy and a sad ending |
| very good episode with the cocoon mail thing wasn't expecting a happen ending which was a huge plus she didn't age that was weird |
 |
| Wow, a happy ending. |
| Loved this episode since I had a dream about a very similar phenomenon. |
| Very strange... But I like it :) |
 |
| So this is a happy ending. "Don't let go of the chain" I guess. Weird place. |
  |
| Awwwwwww. Mushishi brings tears of joy for once. :') Very touching! |

Celestrial2 said: yay for happy endings I was getting tired of all these sad stories. Idc how unrealistic it was that she got out, I just wanted a happy ending xD This was one of my favorite episodes. I was so fascinated at some points that I ended up still thinking about what they just explained rather than listening to the current dialog =P |
| An unnaturaly good ending for these series. The Uro-san are really frightful :| |
  |
| So dark, so deep. I love it. |
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 |
Factor said: I liked the the entire cocoon letter system and how the Mushi worked within it. I thought it was pretty cool. Agreed! That was probably my favorite aspect of this entire episode. This episode is easily in my top 5 thus far because of how unique it is. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ⛩️  |
| The ending scene should've been the girl (now grown up) wandering arround slowly in the labrynth. A depressing, but awesome end in my opinion. The current ending is fine, I just think a tragic ending like that would be more impactful. |
