Alright, here we go. This'll be a short one, but let's talk about this special episode of Mushishi.

Visually, this special has the same charm as the main series: simple yet enchanting. The music, while not something I paid much attention to this go-round, only enhanced the feeling of grandeur that's always been in Mushishi.

This particular installment brought with it some fascinating Mushishi and equally fascinating characters. The story here was crafted beautifully as the story stood on its own while also bringing all the past Mushishi stories together. As always, this individually story was written with such uniqueness and vitality that it allowed for it to stand out amongst the rest of the Mushishi franchise. I will say that this story didn't appeal to me personally as much as some others have, and that's more than likely because the characters that were used, while interesting, didn't spark a lot empathy in me. I'm used to communicating with these characters through their experiences with the mushi, but this specific episode didn't quite match that expectation as well as it could have.

However, the important thing is that Ginko's journey with the mushi and those around him still makes me see magic in the world, and I can't wait to see where he'll go next.
