Mushishi
Neither good nor evil, they are life in its purest form. Vulgar and strange, they have inspired fear in humans since the dawn of time and have, over the ages, come to be known as "mushi." The stories of the Mushi and the people they affect are all linked together by a traveling Mushi-shi, or "Mushi Master," who seeks rare Mushi sightings and uses his shaman-like knowledge of Mushi to help the affected people. What are the Mushi and what do they want? (Source: Funimation)

When I started watching anime again in 2014 after a long hiatus, I saw fans of a series called _Mushishi_ praising how it was “beautiful” and a “masterpiece.” In these same discussion threads, there were also critics arguing that _Mushishi_ was actually “pretentious” and “boring.” Seeing such strong…

It is the product of an idea that pays tribute to nature and the living in the splendour of simplicity. Mushi-shi is a work of volunteerism, a devotion that is not hidden, but mysterious among the peop…
Read full review on AniList →I like this anime quite a bit. No major spoilers btw img(https://i.imgur.com/AJhTwv9.jpeg) <hr> Mushishi is an episodic anime originally created by Yuki Urushibara that tiptoes between the daily lives of ordinary people. This story revolves around sick people in particular, with ails that are ampl…
Read full review on AniList →Mushishi is maybe the best narrating I've seen from any anime. This isn't for some epic all-encompassing plot, yet rather for a moderate wordy methodology that gives you new characters, new settings, new stories, and new mushi to manage every scene. Other roundabout anime may tend to lose your advan…
Read full review on AniList →_Spoilers ahead!_ "The world is full of life unknown to man", says a woman's voice. Mushishi ends with this sentence. First of all, Mushishi became one of my favourite shows. Sometimes you just want to feel struggling emotions, to see energy and action, sometimes you expect a plot which just begin…
Read full review on AniList →Mushishi is a mystery slice of life. Each episode tells a story about Mushi affecting the everyday life of people all around. Mushi are a sort of being that are not plant nor animal, good nor evil. They're a sort of spiritual being that only certain people can see, that purely just try to survive mo…
Read full review on AniList →This review will be __spoiler free__ as I hope that more people would then decide to watch this incredible anime I was always pretty wary of watching _Mushi-shi_ because even though it has been recommended to me many times, it has also been labeled as being boring and meaningless. After finishing t…

Hopefully, it might spark some interest and bring new people into the fanbase. - Note: - Mushishi is an…
Read full review on AniList →__Without spoilers :__ If you have had enough of the usual shounen action anime, if you are seeking something different from what you usually watch, if you like atmospheric shows with supernatural elements, then mushishi may be the anime you are looking for. However, if you can't enjoy slow paced s…
Read full review on AniList →Mushi-shi is a conceptually fantastic and elegant story that challenges traditional tropes and patterns while still using a common medium that anyone could understand. While fighting the paradigm can be an open door to critical acclaim and widespread popularity, the actual enjoyability of the show c…

Read full review on AniList →__~~~My personal experience with Mushi-Shi~~~__ ~~~Having had watched many action and drama anime, I didn't really expect much out of a show that supposedly rivalled the calmness of shows like [Yuru camp](https://anilist.co/anime/98444/Yuru-Camp/). I went in and watched the first episode and actuall…
Read full review on AniList →First, I would like to admire how the protagonist I mean Ginko narrates the story very non main character what I mean is about when the episode begins and the light have to be shone to his . Some episode he appears to be like an extra for that and I think it is a balance for this series. Ginko does…

Read full review on AniList →Mushishi sat on the edge of my awareness for years. Being the best-rated show from its year more or less guaranteed I would keep seeing Ginko pop up in videos, thumbnails, and anime discussions online, yet often without much real discussion of Mushishi itself. Now that I’ve finally watched it, I bot…
Read full review on AniList →__Spoiler alert!__ If you have read my previous reviews, you know that I had some problems with how loud anime usually are. How so many characters feel the need to scream all the time, for the music to switch around, for everything to be so up-in-your-face. Even the calm shows, the serious ones, wo…

Read full review on AniList →Mushishi es de esas obras que sino escarbas dentro del medio es probable que no sepas de su existencia. Como si de una obra de Chiaki Konaka o anime de los 80´s se tratase, actualmente nadie da un carajo por ellas excepto por un pequeño sequito de fans que las alaban como la segunda venida de Jesucr…
