This was in general a very enjoyable anime. The enticing portion was of course the story itself, featuring Kino and her journey to different countries. Initially, I thought that the stories were not that fantastic afterall. But after completing the series, I must say that the mangaka has a well-focused theme in mind. The idea or moral behind each arc all revolves around extremely warped human behaviour that lets its audiences step back and give some serious thought about it.
Despite so, I must say that Mushishi is a level higher than Kino no Tabi. The reason I'm afraid I have difficulties putting them down in words. I'm sure after watching both, some with share my sentiments. Nonetheless, this is a definitely must watch.
