| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Another great episode! It took hunting to a different level. RIP shadow. It had a feeling of hollowness but overall had the Mushishi style going. And damn, that is a lot of birds. Another typical day in the adventures of Ginko~ |

| Those birds looked pretty freaky right near the end. Very nice episode once again |
| Yes, Uchumiya Kouki! I was sure that the crows would have eaten him alive, but they only ate his arm, but that must have been really gruesome to experience and to watch... >< I liked the uneasy feeling I got watching this episode! |
| Disturbing episode. I really thought he'd get pecked to death. I'm ashamed to admit it but I was actually a bit disappointed it didn't happen. But I wouldn't have been able to watch it anyway so yeah I suppose it was a good thing he didn't die >__< |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| This anime never ceases to amaze me. However I'm still waiting for an episode that has a sad ending. |
| I really thought this might turn out to be the first sad ending ep. It was still quite depressing and Tatsu did lose an arm though. Really nice stuff there ^^ Really, this anime is just too good :) |
 |
| The dark atmosphere this episode was really something, I almost felt scared watching this in the dark. Amazing as always :) |
"If we can go to the moon, then why are umbrellas still umbrellas?" „Das ist wie mit diesen Lichtern am Himmel... von hier unten sehen sie alle gleich aus, aber das macht den einzelnen Stern kein bisschen weniger schön.“ |
| Once again an amazing episode that really changed my mood with its dark atmosphere. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
Kurini said: Yes, Uchumiya Kouki! I was happy to hear his voice too :D Wow that was definitely darker than the other episodes. In a sense, fuki(?) gave Tatsu the feeling that he was powerful. But at the same time, Tatsu was getting carried away like his father did. It's unfortunate that it took the loss of his arm for him to open up his eyes (interesting thing about the eyes, Ginko told him to open up his eyes, and Tatsu had an "eye" on the palm of his hand). Last week the mc lost a few digits, and this week the mc lost an arm :( |
 |
| I absolutely ADORE the scenery. Anime have a tendency to make forests either too bright or too bland, with almost every single tree as straight as they can be, yet here... @_@ I really did expect a sad ending tbh |
| The birds really were scary. Beautiful pictures as always, and I like how the soundtrack works in Mushishi. |
| Exactly when is Mushishi set? I didnt know they had guns in that world |

| I can't seem to get used to the OP. I don't like it. |
 |
| Compared to the last one, this episode was great! |
| Fuki occurs when Kouki decays.. Drinking Kouki restores one's health caused by Fuki. Dark Tatsu was scary; but those birds were scarier! Tatsu losing his arm was a bit sad, though it's for the best that it happened. Good episode. Nice OSTs as always! |
 |
| liked how the tone, direction and artwork supplemented the the theme of the episode, the fear of the dark, and the feeling of being exposed to the unknown; the fear of being hunted and the thrill of having power over others, all summed up in one episode through (mostly) one character. Last ep felt quite uncomfortable for some reason, but this one was dark and bordered on being disturbing. The scene at the end was really scary. The whole ep, in fact most of the show is so atmospheric and ambient that sometimes I almost feel like I'm there, and at times feel what the 'main' character is feeling. The VA performances, OST's, artwork, direction, dialogues etc all blend perfectly to give that effect. Beautiful stuff. |

| "...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') |
| And with this episode book 6 is done. I wonder if they'll jump a lot between chapters like in season 1 or if they'll keep it like this and finish the books in order. If so, "The ragged road" is certainly getting closer. :D |
| The MAIN thing i love in this season, that it as adorable, amazing, wonderful as first one. Definitely liked this episode in all ways ^_^ Especially that dark atmosphere ^_^ |
| Another great episode, outstandingly deep atmosphere. |
| Good episode overall. I liked how the dark atmosphere was portrayed here. I liked the ideas that this episode presented like the fear of being hunted and the sense of being superior due to being the hunter. |
| Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a problem. |
| We don't have to wait until it's too late to change ourselves. Feeeelssssss |
 |
| Wow. I think that might be my new favourite episode. Such a creepy atmosphere throughout the whole episode. That first scene where Ginko gets petrified was amazing, I can't remember seeing him look so helpless before. |
| Easily my favorite episode of the season so far. I loved watching the wild life with nothing but ambient sounds to compliment it. Right from the start, there was an unsettling, eerie atmosphere surrounding Tatsu. It was both very suspenseful and subtle enough in its build up. I forgot to breathe a few times during the night Ginko returned, especially the moment when it showed the hunters. The foreshadowing of the birds sitting on the house was brilliant. That scene with the birds gathering around Tatsu and swooping in at him was powerful beyond words. |
 |
| This is the story of the King of the Jungle without his claws, then he realizes that he is huntable just like others. Utterly amazing, nothing less from Mushishi. Peri_ said: AwesomeDudex3 said: Exactly when is Mushishi set? I didnt know they had guns in that world This surprised me as well. I second this. But now that I notice it, Ginko sure has clothes more "modern" than others, so it actually makes sense. |

AwesomeDudex3 said: Exactly when is Mushishi set? I didnt know they had guns in that world Factoring in Ginko's European style clothing and that matchlock rifle or Musket, I guessing this take place around 18th century. |
| Like other,I also surprise to see gun in Mushishi. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Uchiyama Kouki! It was such an interesting episode as always. We got a dark episode this time, luckily he didn't die. |

| woah, for a moment, i thought they were going to show the crows pecking him... O_O... |
emeraldrosary said: Zapredon said: Is the father still alive? Yes, according to Ginko, the father is still lost wandering the mountains. Ginko said that he lost his body and soul so I guess that means he's an invisible shell. If you had the golden sake from episode 1 you could probably see him since he has transferred into the Mushi world. I guess it's impossible to bring the father back since the episode ended without any plan tor rescue the father. |

| "The darkness is rife with misshapen beings who cavort, dance and play in the gloom. If there truly exists a king among those beings of the night... surely, it looks like him." |
に触 祟ら りぬ な神 し |
| Oh my God he got his arm gnawed off piece by piece... And I knew Tatsu sounded like Uchiyama Kouki! |
| Best episode yet definitely |
| That was a good episode. Darkness, the fear of phantoms. If there was a king of the night it might be him, interesting. Great episode!!! |
 |
| I thought the ending for this episode was a happy one, despite what happened. Sure he lost something, but he learnt his lesson and is back in the way it should be. Really disturbing but brilliant episode, Mushishi delivers. |
| Great eps, much darker than the previous ones. Wishing the crows had eaten not only his arm, though~ |
| What an awesome episode. |
| Not one of my favorites this season but that shouldn't hold any negative connotation like it would for most works. I thought it excelled on several levels as another great piece of art in this series but it didn't work for me as much as say, last week's episode. Really loved the opening and ending sequences. |

| this ep reminded me of mononoke hime. so glad that he didnt die after he got shot and attack by the murder of crows. |
"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." |
| Ginko is such a great character. Very good episode as always. |
