「ヒョウテキ × ト × モクテキ (Hyouteki × to × Mokuteki/i>)
“Formidable Enemy × And × Clear Objective
Every so often Killua reminds us of the first line of my post from way back at Episode 33…
「ヒョウテキ × ト × モクテキ (Hyouteki × to × Mokuteki/i>)
“Formidable Enemy × And × Clear Objective
Every so often Killua reminds us of the first line of my post from way back at Episode 33…
「花 惑い」 (Hana Madoi)
“Floral Delusion”
I’ll never o-hanami the same way again.
「ムジョウノヨロコビ×ト×ムショウノアイ」 (Mujounoyorokobi x to x Mujounoai)
“Unparalleled Joy x and x Unconditional Love”
Well, damn – I hardly know where to start with that one…
「鏡 が 淵」 (Kagami ga Fuchi)
“Mirror Lake”
The symbolism is thick with this one.
「テキイ×ト×ケツイ」 (Tekii x and x Ketsui)
“Hostility x and x Determination”
Not more damn analogies, Enzo!
「(夜 を 撫でる 手」 (Yoru wo Naderu Te)
“The Hand that Caresses the Night”
Mushishi is re-introducing itself to the world, shade by shade.
「ゼロ × ト × ローズ」 (Zero × to × Rouzu)
“Zero × And × Rose”
To try and do justice to "Chimera Ant" – how can it be done? At the moment I can only think to borrow the words of Dave Eggers – it is indeed a heartbreaking work of staggering genius.
「雪 の 下」 (Yuki no Shita)
“Beneath the Snow”
If there’s such a thing as a quintessential Mushishi episode, that might have been it.
「ブノツヨミ × ト × ブノキワミ」 (Bu no Tsuyomi × to × Bu no Kiwami)
“Great Power × And × Ultimate Power”
“Idiot”, my ass…
「囀る 貝」 (Saezuru Kai)
“The Warbling Sea Shell”
Has there been another multi-cour anime as consistent as Mushishi? It may not be in a class by itself, but it sure doesn’t take long to call the roll.
