Suz Reviews: Mushi-shi

Mushi-shi

625 minutes (26 eps), TV-14, subtitled and/or dubbed
Overall Grade: A+

Mushi-shi is an anime that was just so awesome that I ordered the whole thing before I'd even watched half of it online. Based off the manga (like every anime I've ever encountered), the 26 episodes are loosely tied together by the wanderings of a man named Ginko. Ginko is a mushishi, or a specialist in creatures known as mushi. Mushi are a sort of elemental lifeform, neither animal, plant, or microbe. Most people can't see them, but they interact with their surroundings in various ways, some of them harmful to people. Ginko travels to learn more about mushi and to help when humans and mushi run afoul of each other where possible.
I love this show. The animation is lush and beautiful. The stories are haunting. Wonderful all around!
