| Now I'm scared Mushi are going to crawl into my pillow and make my dreams reality........ Why does this anime remind me so much of Studio Ghibli movies????? |
     |
| That was one sad episode.. I feel like it'd be best if I don't watch more episodes today if I want to process better this one and the ones before it. I wonder what's the era Ginko lives in. I like the idea about different ending each episode. I can't stand the OP tho. |
  |
| I was surprised with the pillow. I really have no idea that it will be the nest. Probably because I did not read the title. Hehe.. But poor dude. So sad for him :( |
| Very interesting, loved the dream theme. Still, it was a sad story, I feel sorry for him. |

| Very emotional story. I really liked this episode. |
| This was the best episode so far. It was pretty tragic. |
 |
| Real serious downer in this episode, but it was fantastically done. I was glued to the screen throughout. This is gonna be a show that keeps me up really, really late tonight as I cram in as many eps as possible. |
| Definetely my favourite episode thus far.. Can see a resemblance with xxxHolic, but on an entirely different level. All though I am missing a main storyline that progresses throughout the episodes instead of a different story/mysterie within each episode. But if it wasn't for that this show would deserve a ''10'' thus far. But sence and hope that might appear later in the series. |

| Jesus, Mushi really are the silent killers!! Why does such a pest exist??? I guess we'll learn over the course of the episodes... What a great show!! |
ntHai said: Sad indeed. But finally he said it. Mushis are neither bad, nor good creatures. They're just living their lives. It's a rather nice outlook on life, makes me feel terrible for killing spiders in my house. Everything in nature is neutral (except for humans lol), doing what's necessary for them to survive. This was a rather dark episode, I didn't expect everyone in his village to turn into mold like that. Despite the sadness, I still find this strangely calm and relaxing. |
| Such a heavy episode. This show is really profound. |
| Good episode not as good as the last imo but still good. Thought the guy had a lot of courage to wait until Ginko came before ending it. Loving the way Ginko speaks as if he has been there done that and seen the worst of the worst, it makes him an intriguing character. Good to see not everyone has a happy ending, makes the show even more interesting than it already is. |
Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions |
| Best episode so far 5/5 |
| What a sad episode. Beautifully done. |
  |
| Dem feels ;_; |
 |
| Jeez all these episodes are really sad so far. Even the ED makes me feel depressed |
 |
| I like that this episdoe didn't end well. It Seems more real and interesting that way. But it was pretty sad however. |
UberWarri0r said: I like that this episdoe didn't end well. It Seems more real and interesting that way. But it was pretty sad however. man...it was fucking devastating. The guy lost everything and everyone he knew and loved, and worse, a part of him blamed himself for it. Damn. Thats some seriously screwed up shit. |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| This was sad and beautiful episode. I liked the idea with the pillow. Not everyone is going to be saved from the mushi. |
| Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a problem. |
| Holy shit, this topped the first 3 episodes by a mile, absolutely amazing story and drama. |

| fuark dem metaphors |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| That was such a sad story. ;__; |
| Oh well, that was kind of sad :( I guess we can't expect happy endings every time. Gotta love this show though. |
 |
| Sad episode in deed. Quickly growing to love this anime. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| storage of the soul❤ such a sad story... |
 |
| Only the first episode was different! D: and i thought me and my mushies were gonna be friends :< |
 |
| I'm assuming the guy eventually committed suicide because sleeping now meant that he can never dream again. Hence, he couldn't meet his family in the dream world....that was sad. I feel bad for that guy. |
| Aw ;_; He didn't collect anything this time hmm... |
| them feels great episode he had an out of body experience I thought he solved it on his own when he cut it nope was hoping his wife would come back after he dreammed of her but I guess this isn't your reg anime >.> (which is good) |
 |
| Wow. Great episode. It's an episodic show I guess. I hope the originality level of the types of Mushishi will be high like so far. StabbyPWNS said: So.... there really wasn't a cure for those kinds of Mushi? Ye, and that was great about this ep. Otherwise the show would be too predictable : Mushi appear>Ginko comes to investigate>Ginko finds a way to heal the person>the end. Now I have high hopes for the rest of episdoes. |
| Great episode, just that. |
 |
| I've started watching this show with my grandmother, who was very into X-Files at its prime. She finds it makes her sleepy, but is otherwise very enjoyable. |
 |
| Sad story... Great episode! |
JCDRANZER said: I'm assuming the guy eventually committed suicide because sleeping now meant that he can never dream again. Hence, he couldn't meet his family in the dream world....that was sad. I feel bad for that guy. Hmm... probably. But I wonder if Jin knew that he could no longer dream. Jin had suicidal inclinations earlier, and that was because he had lost his family and his village, and he blamed himself as the cause. It seems like the guilt ate away at him... combined with the fear of sleeping (losing his soul). Ginko's role in this episode feels slightly different than the previous ones. Previously he was the mushi master, knowledgeable and having the solution to every problem. Here we see the limits of his abilities... I'd like to say he played the (unfortunate) role of the observer, seeing as how many of these events would have happened without Ginko's involvement... but despite his good intentions, his failure to inform Jin of the true nature of the mushi was partially the cause of the episodes outcome. Well, he is only human after all... It's very tragic, and it feels weird to see Ginko just carry on. I have to wonder if he has experienced tragedies like this before. |

| Not the best episode to watch just before I go to sleep, but oh well ... |
| Thus far my favorite episode. It was great. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| People turning to dust... hmm... freaky stuff. |
  |
| Whoa... what a harrowing episode. This was UNGODLY depressing. Wow, the previous episodes always had a melancholic touch about them, but dang. I guess it was necessary to show just how devastating mushi can be... and what happens to those who don't follow Ginko's instructions on keeping them at bay. |

| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| One of the more depressing stories(the most up to now). I hope things aren't getting much worse than this. |
|
| He couldn't save anyone in this episode, it was depressing and unexpected. |
 |
| Pillows have suddenly become more important to me. |
| this anime is unsettling yet beautiful. It's so odd to wrap the sensation it gives into a word, it simply must be experienced |
