| Couldn't Ginko have just kept the Mushi stored in some container (like that glass bottle) instead of burying it in the ground? Now the cycle will just keep on going. |
 |
| This is now one of my favorite episodes. Our lives are only worth living because our future is unknown. |
tvlookplay said: kinda sad that ginko was hopeless :( i wish the girl would forsee a second season xD That's one future that couldn't be changed - it's coming this year :p. Another enjoyable episode, really powerful moment when she said "I guess you don't need eyes to shed tears." Only one episode left, I want to watch it but I don't want the journey to end just yet. |
 |
| Very good episode. This was a nice story of how a special gift can be both a blessing and a curse. I think the overall message for this episode is to be happy in the present and not to be extremely concern of the future. |
| Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a problem. |
| that was a pretty cool mushi |
"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." |
| Her eyes just fell out >__< |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I almost had a hart attack when her eyes suddenly popped out. |
 |
| Great episode, I'm glad Amane survived. |
| i didn't really like this episode much, like someone else said it was too focused on the girls past and didn't involve Ginko much, maybe I missed something, but when she asks him if his friend ever replied, and he pulls out a message, what did it say? |

She mentioned before that Ginko wouldn't get a useful reply that apparently came true. It's a shame she lost her vision in the end. I was hoping she could control it or something but that would be too godlike. |
| another crazy episode little sad 1 more left T-T |
 |
| Anyone else wondering why didn't he make artificial eye for her like he did for a girl in episode 2? |

| I honestly think that the best thing about this show is the music, it's just so beautiful and calm! It's episodes like this that blow my mind, how come we can't change our destiny? It just bugs me so much..... I'm glad the girl got her wish, I can't even start to imagine how it must be to see how people that are around you are gonna die and stuff like that. |
| Amazing episode. Loved her playing biwa too. |
LsAhNiCnE said: Anyone else wondering why didn't he make artificial eye for her like he did for a girl in episode 2? Because he doesn't have a glass eye on hand? Also, he doesn't have the Mushi for it, anyway. That was a good episode. Makes me care about my eyes more than I do; don't want them falling out now. |

| Ahhhhh yes, this is the touching, bittersweet atmosphere I love so much from Mushishi. I like that it was pretty much entirely focused on Amane; it felt new. The short scene with Ginko talking about his first memory was also incredibly moving. This episode wasn't exceptionally sad like some of my favorite Mushishi episodes, but there was a touching mix of tragedy and joy in Amane's story that just really hooked me. I think it was also an interesting perspective on blindness. Love it. Definitely better than some of the more recent episodes, which weren't quite as good, IMO. Only one episode left. I hope the finale impresses me the way the first few episodes did. It is imperative the finale is the best episode. ;-; |

| Those were some really high quality glass-reflections in the girl's eyes. |
  |
| Eye of Thundera, give me sight beyond sight! |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| The best one so far imo n____n |
 |
| This is definitely my second most favorite episode. Amane is such a great character + the story this episode was absolutely fantastic. 10/10 Loved the lute playing during the ending theme as well. Nice touch. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."  |
| Why does no one mention the ending theme? The best one ever. Damn I'm flooded with feels yet unable to articulate it damn. |
| I'm a sucker for strong female characters. |
| 5/5 |
 |
| Amazing story. Sadly enough, even Ginko can't help sometimes, but still it was kinda of happy ending I guess. |
| "Even when our eyes are closed, there's a whole world out there, that lives outside of ourselves and our dreams." |
| Man seeing everything is cool but scary at the same time. |
 |
| Another great episode.. only one more left... |
| A bit different episode, but it serves to show that Mushi can really transcend limitations of time and even fate. |
  |
| This kind of show should never end. |

| I find it interesting that she couldn't see Ginko's past prior his incident. Wondering why that was the case, guess the ginko mushi or Tokoyami's presence acted as some sort of interference to the Ganpuku's abilities. |
|
| bruh her eyes popping out was just fucked up |
| I know Mushi are supposed to exist somewhere between reality and the paranormal, but a mushi that bends time (thats how I accept that the girl could see the future) is asking for a lot of suspension of disbelief... But apart from that, I once again loved the whole episode, the narrative is just so good. There was also that episode that had this mushi that basically bent space as well that was also so freaking engaging. From now on I'm going to stop looking at those over paranormal mushi and just take it all as phenomena that somehow can happen in this world. The stories are always so fantastic that I don´t want to suspend my enjoyment just because the reality presented in Mushishi is crossing some sort of imaginary border. Just a little rant sorry, it's just that when some series is this good one ends up nitpicking over small things that you wouldn't normally pick on stories of lesser quality. |
 |
| Wow... That girl suffered a lot... And in the end, she lost both her eyes as well. Everything was predetermined. What a sad episode. I must say, Ginko was very cool when he grabbed those mushi and put them in the jar. Also the eyes falling out of eye sockets was creepy in a good way. Really liked this episode. Shows how important it is to be thankful for what we have and to not wish for too much. |
 |
| one more episode and im gonna move on to the second season . this anime is just amazing |
| "Mountains, beings, and nature's laws are bound by an arrangement, and within it, we live." -Mushishi Zoku Shou Suzu No Shizuku |
| Damn, that eyeball scene caught me off guard D: it was amazing but I can't even imagine the excruciating pain Q____Q |
| That was amazing, improved vision looks awesome, but that mushi definitely went too far. I wouldn't go ask her to see my future, that poor dude that got told that he was going to die the next year was probably scared to death for all that time lol. |
 |
| Revisiting this episode, I'm actually quite content with how it ended. While Amane losing her sight was disheartening, it was ultimately a return to the world she'd known from her birth. In a way, the gift of sight and the curse of foresight was but a glimpse of an unknown world that she could never linger in. |
|
| Damn another sad ending, but those eyes had pretty strong abilities. |
| Honestly a half-ass excuse to don't present Ginko's past to him, those purple eyes can "time travel" and see everyone's future and past, but Ginko as Yoki it is not possible. Maybe, it could be excusable the fact that the tokoyami is an infinite darkness and the eyes couldn't surpass all the pitch black place that young Gino was in, can't imagine an excuse better than that. |
| Being able to see everything from a distance might sound really cool but barely being able to see where you are right now is just plain dangerous. She's able to enjoy otherworldly delights with that omniscient point of view of hers only to get more and more overwhelmed by its potency right until the point where both her eyes fell off. Knowing the exact details of how the people you love will die with no way to do anything about it except for fearing for the day it finally happens sounds tough. It reminds me of a chapter of Franken Fran where a guy acquires the eyes of God. Glad this one ended on a happier note than it did there. |
 |
| It was nice to see the concept of foresight finally covered in this series. Good episode. |
| the eye scene was really creepy xD |
