Story - An episodic masterpiece, a real delight. This was one of the most intriguing stories i have seen so far in my anime watching life. It made me want to watch it twice (once in english, once in Japanese. I can say that japanese is still always better, it just feels that much more authentic).
Anyway, its about a travelling spiritual healer of sorts. The spiritual beings he deals with are called mushi and are essentially the essence of life itself. The healer travels from place to place for various reasons following various rumours. And ends up dealing with heaps of different kinds of Mushi
...
and hearing the stories attached to them. It was a clear 10/10 for me though, the ending was a little bit of a buzz kill, i can't help but feel that way.
Art - The Art was great and the landscapes were magnificent. the mushi and the 'light vein' were fantastic features in the Art which really brought the story to life. My main complaint is that to many of the extra characters in the different villages looked pretty much the same. Was that some kind of asian joke?
Sound - Music was very well suited and had that traditional oriental feel about it. Nice effects etc. as well.
Character - The main character was an enigmatic one i enjoyed very much. His charisma and general manerisms were interesting to watch. It was a particularly interesting factor that they leaked the main characters history bit-by-bit throughout the series. Extra characters all had interesting stories to tell about how they had been afflicted by mushi.
Enjoyment - this anime is a very captivating one and i was always desperate to see the next episode which rates as well-enjoyed in my books. it definatly has some great re-watch value as well.
Overall - Great anime, nothing more need be said.
