mushishi is a 26 episodes anime based on the manga of the same name , it's not the same thing someone would expect from any other anime out there , mushishi is unique , beautiful and extremely enjoyable anime that tells the story of Ginko ( the only main caracter ) who is a sort of savant , a doctor , a researcher in everything related to mushi , mushis are the basic life form who may behave as parasites , cause maladies , affect people psychology ... , and throughout the anime , Ginko travels over japan to help people solve their mushi ... problems , don't get it wrong , Ginko is not a god , and there were a fair share of problems he could not solve , and that adds to his caracter and the emotional structure of every episode
speaking of caracters , even though Ginko is the only main caracters in this episodic anime , every episode had new people with different personnalities and dilemas , the developpement of Ginko's caracter is really well done ( I won't spoil anything here ) , and this anime is very emotional
the art suits the theme perfectly , animation is flawless and landscapes are a joy , when is comes to sound , i've never seen such a huge collection of atmospheric music gathered in one anime , every ED is different that the other , The OP is the same english song but it's very enjoyable , voice acting is top notch , it's clear that the guys working on this anime put really high standards when it comes to animation and sound
When it comes to story , it's something new , innovative , unique but there is only one complaint , and that is that not all manga chapters were adapted to this anime , we really would like the rest to be adapted into anime ( maybe second season , let's hope )
overall , mushishi is a master piece that every anime fan should see , just go watch it now , you'll not regret it
