| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, dat emotions ;.; I really liked the atmosphere of this OVA. Ginko is busy once again on his journey. http://imgur.com/XAJokOL Thankfully some of the voices remained the same as the original series. This really bought me back nostologia tbh. The ending too was satisfying. And...OMG: http://imgur.com/U9nS18o !!! Spring Season is going to be fun this year. |

| ah, great show. I'm glad that I checked crunchyroll's winter lineup this morning. I was very surprised to see that not only was mushishi's OVA airing on crunchyroll, but it was set to air an hour from when I checked, hahaha. as always with mushishi I enjoyed watching. same feel as always. the episode finishes and I'm sitting there enjoying the ending music, and a season season is revealed! a really great way to start the week-end and the new year. 2014 is over, let's just skip ahead to 2015. |
| meditate on bass weight. |
| waited so long for Yuki Urushibara to finish up the volumes, Ah so happy the Second season is coming soon! Ginko!!!! |
 |
| I am so happy, Mushishi is my absolute favorite show, aside from this special being everything I wanted and more, they announced season 2 at the end? GAH so happy. |
| Just great, it's amazing how much Mushishi can accomplish in such a short period of time. I re-watched the original not to long ago and was already missing it so much. Very enjoyable special, what a way to start the year. They focused more on the side characters in this one unlike the original, we even had a flashback, it was still great though, just a bit different. The new OST is absolutely brilliant as well, calming yet mysterious, some felt a lot like the OST of the original but with little changes here and there. Yeah, I can't wait for the sequel, best Anime news in years. |
| Aaahhh! That nostalgia was so goood :D Especially loved the scene during the eclipse when they showed us all the previous characters with that awesome OST. Was so great ^^ The atmosphere and the emotions were so good too. This series is just too good. And Ginko is just BA :D Can't wait til April ^^ |
 |
| The very first sound brought back all the feelings from watching the original series. Constant 'awww' and eyes getting wet for no reason... Great scenes, awesome soundtrack and a really lovely story. Waiting for April. |

| hahaydeuedeuh... :D at last my favorite anime finally comes back... gotta watch this.. ^^ |

| After eight (?) years, second season's finally happening... :') Nice story, and I expect even stronger ones in 2014. |
| I shed a tear. This story got me. I'm so glad Mushishi's back!! This episode wasn't in the manga right? I have no recollection of this story. Anyway, mushishi is awesome even if it's a filler! And the ending pretty much indicate the sequel will be a one cour. Better than nothing :D |
| Beautiful has always! I absolutely loved the eclipse sequence where characters from the first season where shown!!!!!!! :') Aggghhhhhhhhhhhhh bring on season two, I'm so ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Normally you'd expect a special to be not that "special" since it's just like a side story from the main plot in most anime. But this special... was just a continuation of the same feel, themes, art style, and storytelling as the other episodes. I missed you, Mushishi, welcome back. |
| Yeah, I don't remember it either. Now that a second season is announced (HELLYEAH!), it makes sense this one to be an original story. Perhaps it's a bonus story in the luxury manga edition? Damn, it was beautiful and heart-warming! http://i.imgur.com/v92HOLP.png I liked how Hiyori reacted frustrated, angry, and selfish - change is never easy in a limited world, yet it became a world which expanded through love. And usually, the mushi affect arbitrary the lives of humans, but these mushi ringed with the sisters' personalities. |
| Lovely episode of Mushishi. The length was just perfect as well as the atmosphere. I cannot wait till the second season. So happy it will have one. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Loved it, can't wait for S2 to give the series a proper ending and adapt the whole manga. Anyone knows which chapter was adapted in this special? |
| Wow, nicely done. Loved the story that has been set into it. Can't wait till April, excited for the return :D |

parfaited said: Seriously though this was wonderful. This was also my first experience with the sub which felt a little bit lacking to me since i'm so used to the English dub (one of the best dubs around imo). You're damn right about that, but I still really enjoyed the sub. Ginko still a boss. Even though he should just be giving the orders and waiting to get paid for saving them, he's actually hands on with the labor. Respect. Man, April can't come soon enough. The peaceful yet melancholy OST, the touching and meaningful writing and brilliant situational character relations, and one of the best MC's to come around. It's gonna be a great spring. |
 |
| Oh man aside from the exciting news, this OVA was also great... Showing Tanyuu and the a brief reoccurence of all the characters from the first season. |

It was definitely nice to see them during the eclipse :) I was trying to remember all the characters. This special did not disappoint. And especially that last surprise at the end...will be looking forward to it in the spring! |
| Another fantastic mushi episode or should I say special. I hope there will be more in the future to come. This special had a lot of truth in it regarding how we as humans take the sun for granted each day. Great special!!! |
 |
| Fantastic. |
 |
| Great episode, love this series. |
| The concept for the mushi in this special is really good. The nostalgia came back to me. This episode is just wonderful! Can it please be April already? I wanna watch more Mushishi!!! |

| ah mushishi just like how i remembered it. peaceful times with a great story. |
    |
| VERY GOOD episode--looking forward to season 2 |
 |
| beautiful special :) |
| HELL YES! SECOND SEASON! :D |
| It was so good to see Ginko and the Mushi again! This special was perfect. It's going to be hard to wait for April 2014 to get here. So looking forward to season 2!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| I watched the original series dubbed so it felt unusual watching the Japanese version. Regardless, still a fantastic watch. Fantastic news about a new season as well.. |
| Nostalgia overriding my senses. Downright gorgeous. The OST is as hauntingly beautiful as ever. This feeling of contentment fills my chest and makes my heart explode. This is it. This is a fair enough reason to keep on living. Welcome back, Ginko. April can’t come soon enough. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| This special reminded me why Mushishi is one of the best anime I ever seen. Guys, the atmosphere, the fucking magic atmoshpere. Mushishi is one of the few that can make me completely immerse in the story. Masuda-sama at the music, is simply brilliant. Without him Mushishi couldn't be called Mushishi imo. Also, Ginko's VA is perfect. So, I can't wait for the magic Sprinter that awaits us. 9/10 without a doubt. Anisamar said: Nostalgia overriding my senses. Downright gorgeous.

 |
| To see Mushishi after so long was a blessing. I still can't believe the news about a sequel. Anyway, the special was great, loved the plot. |
 |
| Beautifully nostalgic, I'm glad to have seen the sisters work through what troubled them after it all. Adashino continues to entertain me despite all the times I go, oh he's going to get into more trouble again. :P |
 |
| This definitely lived up to the original series, it had the exact tone and atmosphere I was looking for. I am happy to say that it doesn't look like the staff has gotten rusty at all after all these years. and oh man, that beautiful Mushishi background art in HD. |

| (´∀｀)♡ ah~ This is why I love this series, so magnificent. I can't watch the first season over and over but this, I want to hug whoever said "lets make moar!" ;u; *sighs* Why can't April come faster? ( ≧Д≦) |
 |
| I agree with just about everything everyone has posted so far. Great episode and OST's as usual. It's been over 7 years since the last episode of Mushishi, but this special feels like it could be a part of the first season; they kept the same formula that makes Mushishi a masterpiece. Can't wait for the next season! |

| Beautiful story.. has the "mushishi" calm atmosphere to it. And I love it when all the past characters were shown during the eclipse. so nostalgic :) Can't wait for the 2nd season! |
| great.season 2 is gonna be awesome. |
| This was truly something special. Contentment is the simplest word that this special, and Mushishi overall, has given me. It didn't give me any longing or sadness after ending (I'm absolutely hyped for Season 2, which is a different manner), but instead, it just left me to appreciate it for what it is, and not what it didn't achieve to be. Mushishi is perfect the way it is. |
| Brilliant stuff. Classic Mushishi. I'm so used to the dub that all their voices were jarring to me. It didn't take too long until I warmed up to Ginko's voice, though. We are fortunate to get a 2nd season of Mushishi, especially in today's anime market. Very fortunate. |
| This is the kind of anime you want to watch, then just keep in the background on repeat for the rest of your life. So very calming. Second season makes me ecstatic. |

Such astounding poignancy, it fills my eyes with tears. |
| I wish every episode of the second season lasted 45 minutes... Same old Mushishi, and that means an incredible show. I'm immesurabely happy right now :') |
| BEAUTIFUL JUST LIKE THAT YOU CAN DESCRIBE MUSHISHI |
