I just finished watching the second episode of this show and although I know I like it, I'm not actually sure exactly why I like it. It is a bit odd and yet not. It is an interesting mix of movements so to speak. Overall it is soft or perhaps gentle. However, the actual events and circumstances are rather frightening in their disjointedness. The sheer variance of occurance is worrisome in a strange way. (I do realize I might be taking the concept behind mushi a bit too seriously). The show seems to collect random bits of different people's lives and connect them under the main character's purview. It might be a bit wierd for some, but I find I like the idea and the implementation.

I must say, I was a bit iffy about Mushishi at first. I'm still not sure I like it exactly, but it's definitely interesting. Ep2 pulled me in much more too, because ... well .. see below

Episode 2:

Compared to ep1, this was more intense. The whole eye being eaten by darkness... kinda creepy. I mean you get the impression from ep1 that the mushi are pretty harmless, but now that's totally different. It'll be interesting to get more background on the mushishi.

I've only seen the first episode but I really liked it. A very calm but strong episode, just amazing, this is exactly my favorite style of anime.

I hope the rest of the show is like this.

hehe mushishi is great, i love the way its got a closeness to nature, the calmness and yet the problems, a wondering man... i find mushishi poetic ^^
definetly worth watching to those who can appreciate animes that don't have to involve sword battles every five minutes =P

I'm pretty sure this is my favorite show of the season. It is very different. I love the main character. He is such an odd one.

agreed, it seems a tad episodic so far. I really wouldn't mind knowing more about the main character's past or something. Nevertheless, still good!
