Now I loved mushishi.I thought it was clever,emotional,beautiful and philosophical all at the same time. This series came out in 2005 and now that in 2014 a special and a second season were announced I was very excited. It took me a while to get to but I am finally starting my crusade to watch all of the fairly new mushishi content we have been presented with.But enough of my rambling now onto the review.Mushishi Special: Hihamukage is a 45 minute special and is the kickstart to the slew of mushishi content to grace us in 2014. So what makes this special so amazing? Well it starts with what made mushishi amazing and is condensed into a 45 minute special. The story is great with Ginko up to his same antics, the side characters are still well developed despite there short appearance, the plot still has good depth and intrigue, the themes are smartly intergrated to make the show more special, and the art and music are both great. There isn't much more to say, if you loved mushishi like I did watch it. It's 45 minutes there's no reason not to. And now I'm very excited to watch both seasons of zoku shou and the movie. But for real in conclusion if you loved mushishi and want to get into all of the new content like I do,I recommend starting with this one,because it truly captures the same atmosphere and wonder as it did almost a decade ago.
