    I always find myself re watching random episodes of this awesome work of art; and always enjoying. So relaxing..^^

    Anyway, I read a rumor somewhere about another season. Is there any credibility to er? Or shall it remain a rumor?

    oh please say it is so......one of my fav animes of all time it reminds me of a japanese poem, structured and beautifully serene.

    HS Mushishi S2 - 01
    ---------------------------

    Great starter episode. My hopes for this second, and afaik final, season is that we learn more details about the Mushishi themselves, aka Ginko.

    And?

    Some wicked personality guy could tell you it goes well with the values of the show... like going with the slow flow of life and tolerate the way life springs here and there, how you musn't scare/anger the mushi and so on

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    I guess I was surprised because I had forgotten all about it, even though I really liked it way back when. And I got excited.

    I've just finished watching everything from S1 up till S2 Episode 03, and the new ones don't have the same punch as the old ones. They're more shallow in the themes they're exploring.

    Disagreed. Im enjoying season 2 much more than the first one. There´s less filler, the pacing isnt as slow, where S1 was almost Tolkien-esque in its narration, which at times could be too much. S2 makes sure that every moment of an episode is interesting to watch. Moreover, I feel like we´re seen much more about Ginko and his life and motivation, which is an insta-plus in my book.

    That scene in the latest episode where he showed genuine fear on his face, when that mushi-infected hunter appeared before him in the dark woods was great. Ginko always gives off this disconnect from all worldly matters and other people, seeing him act this personally affected was a nice change-

    I guess I liked the approach S1 had then, but I'll wait till this season finishes before I make a final judgement. I liked the slow pacing as well as seeing Ginko accept requests from people. Ginko really does give off a feeling of disconnect in a sense, and I found that doing otherwise (aside from some romance/friendly-interactions) feels a little contradictory. His comment here to the guy about feeling all "king of the mountain" did come off as slightly confronting.

    I didn't expect them to follow it up with outright murder either. I got the vibes that something was wrong when he asked for the girl's health right from the start, but I didn't expect him to actually need her life.

    HS - S2 Episode 07

    ----------------------------------------------












    The only bad thing about this episode was that it was largely predictable and simple.

    Yeah, boring episode.

    I´d really like to have at least one episode once, where Ginko is forced to actively fight a more vicious, truly dangerous mushi. I´m not expecting this regularly, but we´re always told that mushi come in all kinds of forms, so while a lot of them are small or thin or hardly visible, there should be the opposite as well. Just want to see if a Mushishi is more than just a wandering library.

    HS - Episode 10


    ---------------------------------











    Well that's it for now. I didn't really like this series as much as I liked the first one. As I said before, I enjoy seeing Ginko being summoned to solve a problem rather than simply running into them on his travels. The former has more impact since summoning implies that the problem is significant, while the latter can make Ginko come off as nosy (even though he's actually pretty good at keeping boundaries).

    As for episode 9, I'm not so sure about how to interpret the ending. Was the father able to moderate his workload so that he only tended the one field to keep his family fed while keeping his lifespan long? If so, the Mushi that affected him really wasn't that big a deal then.

    I actually preferred this season. It was more personal towards Ginko. Instead of him being summoned to solve problems, he ran into problems himself several times. I would have loved even more danger for himself. The episode with the hunter-guy where Ginko made a facial expression as if he´s about to be murdered by some gruesome monster was fantastic.

    Similarily, my favorite episode of season was the one where he gave the blind girl one of his eyes.

    Oh, that was probably my favourite episode this season as well.

    As for the first season, it would probably be that winter episode where this kid slept through an entire year (and Ginko joined him partway) because a cocoon didn't hatch. Or it might be that episode about the girl who writes stories into scrolls as a way to remove the mushi that makes her crippled.

    What both episodes have in common is that they gloss over potential romantic relationships for Ginko.

    Tanyuu!!!!

    I have been rooting for TanyuuXGinko but it never happened...

    I still love the pair, and in my head, Ginko eventually went back to her and fulfilled his promise.
