didn't see a thread on this show and watched episode one today, caught my interest, enough to at least keep watching...

It seems to be about some semi-invasion of supernatural 'Mushi' that take over people and are being hunted by the government. Some of the Mushi appear to be taking the lead in hunting down their fellow bugs... Guy wastes a little girl in the first two minutes, a long chase sequence through the streets and battles between the Resistance and the government exterminators. But then it turns into something about how the leader of the Mushi Resistance is the same age as the best Mushi exterminator, and now he's going to school with her... Meanwhile, two other classmates fall in love...

well, the action and fights were good in the first episode, so I'm hoping this doesn't devolve into a school anime. Let's keep the bug guts pumpin!

Mushi-Uta - AnimeYuki & Crystal Nova - Episode 1 (http://tracker.crystalnova.net/torrents/%5bAnY-CrystalNova%5dMushi-Uta_-_01_%5bx264%5d%5b84EDB43F%5d.mp4.torrent)



In Japan`s near future, grotesque monsters called “Mushi” appear. They infect people, giving them supernatural powers. “Mushitsuki”, the hosts of the Mushi, are held in fear, loathed, and abandoned by society… or they are killed by the Mushi.

In the midst of this, high school student Kusuriya Daisuke encounters a girl on his way to the school he has just transferred to. Somehow, he and the girl, Anmoto Shiika, standing there at the railroad crossing, find themselves attracted to each other. As if recognizing that which is missing from within themselves in the other, their relationship deepens rapidly.

However, Shiika is a fugitive from GARDEN, a secret asylum for Mushitsuki. Tokkan, or the Special Environment Preservation Agency, which is responsible for finding Mushitsuki and confining them in the asylum, orders Kakko, their top agent and strongest Mushitsuki, to hunt down Shiika.

There are also people who fight against Tokkan. The resistance, Mushibane, seeks out those Mushitsuki who have been ostracized by society. Their female leader, Lady Bird, orders the resistance members to save Shiika before Tokkan finds her. The fights between Mushitsuki and Mushitsuki over Shiika disrupts everyday life. In these fights which surpasses one’s imagination, young people lose their lives in vain.

However, the Mushitsuki have a fate that they cannot escape from. The Mushi eventually eats the host’s dreams instead of giving him or her supernatural powers, killing the host.
Two other newcomer fansub groups doing this show are a little bit ahead... one of them is 'Serious Business' who I simply don't trust based on their name. The other is a new group called Anime Omake. Up to episode 4-5 now.

I've been downloading from Serious Business, who has done decent jobs with their subs.
Chose them since no known group was doing it when I began downloading. Now Im lazy to redownload from other groups.

Up to episode 5 it has been kinda interesting, but I keep feeling something is missing.

Plus... Episode 5 felt more like an Episode 6 since several things were omitted...

Melancholic and fateful; art, music, and story. I liked the first episode.
