| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice to get some back story on Ginko. Knew we'd have to cover that lost eye at some point, and I guess about half way through was a good a point as any. |
 |
| Good episode. Finally, we got some character development from Ginko. |
| i liked all episodes who cares about character development? the anime has really touching stories :/ |

| Yey! Ginko's character development! Finally! I wanna know more about him. Come on! He's the only main character, and yet we would want to know about him. Hahah! It's already a given! ^__^ |
     |
| loved this episode =) now we know how ginko got his eye and name and stuff. good stuff~ |
| Wow, I was thinking how there was finally an episode without Ginko in it, but as it turns out... |
 |
| so first impressions of this episode "omg its a female ginko!!" lol and then i kinda put two and two together..but still it's good to see how ginko ended up the way he is. though that still doesn't explain why his clothes are modern compared to everyone elses =S lol and no one ever asks him about his hair and eyes. great episode though =] maybe later one we'll find out why ginko's friend is obsessed with collecting mushi objects? ginko's name is interesting too =] |
 |
| yay background story on Ginko. How awesome that is. |
     |
| So that's how Ginko became how he is today. |
 |
| YES!! Finally!! Ginko's past!!! ^^ Even though it was sad... and the female Ginko person (Nui?) was like a Ginko replica.... well I guess Ginko is the replica kind of cause he came next but.... anyways... I was waiting for an episode with Ginko's past in it!!! *satisfied* =3 |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Ohhh it seems to be my fav. episode and i really liked the woman, Nui these little flying mushi are beauuutiful and aspecially giant mantis this episode is sooo calm and sothering and serious at the same time |
| this one is my favorite! im starting to hate mushi >.< id kill them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| So we finally see Ginko's origins. |
| <i>When all else is lost, the future still remains</i> |
| Good episode, took me a little to catch on that this was Ginko's story lol. |
 |
| Love this episode too. Background story for Ginko (Yoki). I liked Nui, too bad she got sucked by the ginko. |
 |
| Don't want to spoil a lot since I accidentally saw one the later episodes but they're are more episodes about his origins. I hope I'm not the only one who only knew it was Ginko until the end of the episode lol. |
 |
| Lol, at first I thought Nui was Ginko for some reason, but I caught on after a while. Anyway, amazing episode. Nice to see why Ginko has only one eye, why he smokes, and why he travels around. |
  |
| well i knew the boy was Ginko right when i noticed the woman's eye and hair. I understood that how they became this way was same. |
| Nice episode. the_orange said: well i knew the boy was Ginko right when i noticed the woman's eye and hair. I understood that how they became this way was same. Me too. Although I don't really get the connection between the Tokoyami and the Ginko. And does this mean that Ginko will eventually lose his other eye too and disappear like Nui? It's so sad that Ginko doesn't even remember Nui, or how he lost his eye and haircolor... |
 |
| I cried. That was so sad, awh. the_orange said: well i knew the boy was Ginko right when i noticed the woman's eye and hair. I understood that how they became this way was same. |
 |
| Excellent episode, I couldn't even imagine that this kid was actually the Ginko we know. |
| my favorite episode so far ^^ |
| there were some hints in ep. 11 about his past and then they explains most of it here! such great episode and fantastic anime this far! |
| Brilliant episode. The giant mushi made for stunning visuals. |
 |

It's so sad that Ginko doesn't even remember Nui, or how he lost his eye and haircolor... I don't think Ginko will eventually lose his other eye and become Tokoyama; something about that he hadn't been there that long, and he kept his other eye closed when the mushi Ginko approached him. At least I hope not; a depressing ending foreshadowed this early one would suck. D: |
 |
| Yay, I thought they would never get to his backstory. Awesome episodes. The best so far! |
| amazing episode! finally we get to see some of ginko's past:) oh and that's why his appearance is like this and he attracts the mushi,interesting... 5/5 PS:at first i thought Nui was like ginko's sister of something :) |

| I didn't even realize Nui Was female until she said she had a husband. I realized this was backstory when she said the fishes name was Ginko. I like character development so good episode. Like some other people I don't think I totally understood the mushi in the pond. |
| Such junk... |
I love this ep. and the origins of Ginko, even if they're sad |
♥  ♥  ♥ |
| Lost my mind and grammar... Amazing episode! When I saw Nui I thought she was a friend of Ginko or something like that and something happened to them so they miss one eye, and I had the idea that one of them lost both eyes and the other one gave him somehow one of his, since as soon as I saw Nui I noticed she misses her right eye, and Ginko misses his left... :P Haha seems like I have quite the imagination ^^'' |
 |
| Best episode yet |
| I loved the last 2 episodes. It's great that we find out more about Ginko's past, even if it's sad. |
 |
| Nice ep. I really hope we get to see more of Ginko's backstory. |
     |
| Yeah well some character development, good. I don't know why but I feel bad for the man that was taking care of him. XP Well good to know why he does some things and how all it started. |
| I thought we got a female Ginko. LOL Now we see how Ginko came to be. Anyway, Ginko's past was kinda sad though he can't remember Nui or even his mother. Also, the smoking thing was made cleared. :) Great episode once again. |
| Brilliant episode, I just knew that was Ginko from the beginning and I'm so glad we finally got to know a bit more about him...even if he does remain mysterious which is fine with me. |
 |
| This was utterly fantastic. I can’t describe in words how amazing it is. Finally getting Ginko’s awaited back-story is one thing, but having it in such a beautifully executed way, unique and engaging… It has to be Mushishi, to reach this level of perfection. It’s flawless. My favorite episode, without an ounce of doubt. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| That's an interesting past. |
    |
| It's a shame he doesn't remember anything, smashing episode, though. |
| Great episode. At last we learn about Ginko's past |
| This was incredible. Loved the back story and Nui. Ginko and Nui are very interesting characters indeed. |
| Got to know more about Ginko, good episode indeed. |
 |
| The woman is the same voice narration. |
