Anime Review: Mushishi
Best Episodic Anime I’ve watched yet — Mushi-shi by Yuki Urushibara
Mushishi, at its core, is a series of beautiful folk-like tales about human compassion and acceptance.
Very mature, easy to watch, artistically crafted anime.
“Do not allow yourself to be blinded by fear or anger, everything is only as it is…”
As the anime progresses, you’d realize that the mushi isn’t necessarily the enemy or something to conquer or overcome. In fact, despite being the title of the anime, the mushis have never been the central character of any episode. They are just a way for us, humans, to understand ourselves a little better. At first, it may seem like the mushi is bringing us along for a ride. But there will come a point in the anime where you realize it has been you driving, alone, all along, and life truly isn’t as intimidating to go through as you think.
