| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well overall I definitely enjoyed this series. At times peaceful, other times a little moody, but all in all good. I'll probably write some xxxHolic comparison up because I felt this was very similar, sans romantic-comedy. Even this the last episode seemed eerily similar. Speaking of which, Ginko didn't seem like a happy kid. Oh well... |
 |
| This didn't feel like a last episode at all, I hope there's a new season coming, in the near future. Overall, I really liked this anime, but not as much as I thought at first. Gets a 9/10. |

Ginko said: hmmm, what does the name Ginko means? Well if I was to literally translate it, it would mean "Silver child" but because it is written in katakana (ギンコ) it has no relative meaning whatsoever. ^_^ |

| I hope there would be a new season. I don't care if it will be like this, in episodic format. It's truly a worth to watch. Come on, and we need some Ginko developments! That last episode is just some kind of ordinary episode with the past of Ginko. We need to know what happened to them and also to Nui? LOL! And that Ink girl, the one who has black legs. I hope Ginko can be with her. LOL! I need 2nd season! ^__^ |

| honestly, the last episode didn't seem all that relative to the series. Maybe I missed someting but I think that the ending episode should of been different. It seemed so pointless. Maybe I was so distracted by the thought of it being the last episode to the series. I almost cried thinking about it. T_T |

| Yeah, I was kinda disappointed that it didn't have more Ginko, but I still enjoyed it as much as the rest of the series. The whole show was really good. Although it was hard to watch 3 episodes in one sitting like we were doing in our club. |
 |
| like you all said, it didn't feel like a last episode, and nothing really monumental happened in the story either. This series started out really good, but about halfway through the stories didn't seem to captivate me as much, so instead of a 9/10, its getting an 8/10 from me. |
| Yeah, I agree.. This was a dissapointing last ep, imo. Everyone pretty much said what I needed to say. =/ |

| Maybe because it's a slice of life kind of anime, that's why it has an open ending, like "life goes on" or something like that I'm satisfied with the ending, since i watched many anime with this kind of ending Although i'd really love to see more of the story between ginko and the one, that women who has ability related to ink?(i forgot), she's cool |

They didn't just tack an ending on for the sake of closure, I like that. |
| LOvE the whole series.... Somehow I really liked the last episode, especially the setting of this one particular episode. And just what most everybody want, I need second or maybe lots more seasons. I hope they would continue to animate the manga. Overall 10/10 for me, not just for it's undeniable awesome animation but the also for it's memorable episodes and fascinating Mushi concept. |

Oh, i see, haven't read the manga yet I didn't see any main plot in the anime, that's why i think open ending is normal for this show |
| Well, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting a last episode to be like, but never less it was still a great episode. Now I just hope we get a second season some day. |
| i disliked the last episode 6/10 |
 |
| I just noticed, the last episode is the only one without any specific mushi in it. Anyone wanna take a guess to explain what's up with Ginko's clothes? |

 |
| Awwww I can't believe that it's over!! T___T Well... you know...more chibi Ginko = win ^__^ And I can honestly say that this was the most relaxing Anime I have ever seen.... but overall... it was pwnsome. >w< |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| One of the best animes ever. period |
| wow best series yet to me. btw what did the ending mean. i mean after the credits. it looked like another episode. confused (>_<) |
| Amazing anime, 9/10. The manga is over now, so season two please. =) |
| Now it's over I.I could have had somer more Ginko in it but i'm satisfied with this "ending" ._. There should be more calm,nice, heart-touching Anime like this out there... ... Just some more episodes :/ please!! ;___; |

I was partially expecting a grand finale but then that would've been out of context and wouldn't have flowed so cohesively with the series. I'm kind of glad that they didn't get so much into Ginko's past. Although I wanted to know more about him, his character has been set up to be filled of mystery and unanswered questions. His earliest memory is of when he was 10, so we wouldn't have learned much about him. (awww) Overall, I loved the anime. Great stories, interesting and sometimes humorous character, and interesting concept. =) |

| What a brilliant episode to end the series on. I like that it didn't have a climax, it just ended. What an absolutely fantastic series Mushishi was. The only real masterpiece in anime, in my opinion. So imaginative and beautiful. My favourite episode was probably 7, the rainbow one. My least favourites were probably 14 and 21. It's not a series you could watch many times, or even just a few times, but it's definitely a series everyone should watch at least once. Truly fantastic. |
| Masterpiece. 10/10 |
  |
| Ironic how the last episode had the least amount of Ginko. I think it was a perfect last episode. In the end, the mountain had changed, giving a sense that everything changes eventually. That's the nature of life and time. It kinda gives you the feeling that, though Ginko was a good Mushishi, there will be more after him and there will still be more Mushi to be discovered. The world might not look the same, but they'll still be there. Just like the catfish. ;) 10/10 definitely. |
| amazing ep...almost cried :P |
| "...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') |
| 10/10 period. |
 |
| I'm not sure how I feel about the last episode. On the one hand, I wanted some sort of closure or goal for Ginko, and on the other hand, I realize that it's the nature of this show to be about the Mushi and how each interact with people. Really an enjoyable series and one that I'll remember for long while. |

Really an enjoyable series and one that I'll remember for long while. well we have to keep in mind that the story isn't done yet. I think there are 2 or 3 volumes of Mushishi manga which haven't been adapted in the anime...so we might get a season 2 *crosses fingers* Though I doubt they'd be goal based cuz I think mushishi is a more episodic series (not sure, haven' read the manga) |

| i say we spam more people to watch this show!!!! :O |
| .. and it's over! What a beautiful series it was indeed, 9/10. *_* I wouldn't mind seeing some more. |
| i enjoyed watching this anime, bye ginko |

| Excellent series, probably the most beautiful and heart felled anime that Ive seen in a very long time. I enjoyed it very much, it was a very relaxing and soothing experience. |

| Loved This Series I Need To Figure Out Where Ginko Get His Blunt Wrap From Is It Me Or Does That Thing Never Run Out? lol |
 |
