Mushishi Zoku Shou – 11
「草の茵」 (Kusa no Shitone)
“Pillow of Grass”
Like an old friend, Mushishi returns to us, along with all its magic.

「とげ の道 」 (Toge no Michi)
“Road of Thorns”
I knew “Road of Thorns” was going to pack quite the emotional punch, but the anime adaptation certainly didn’t disappoint.
「冬の底」 (Fuyunosoko)
“The Heart of Winter”
I don’t know what the future holds for Mushishi, but I know this – if you love great anime, you should be damn grateful that it exists.
「潮わく谷」 (Shio Wakutani)
“Valley of Welling Tides”
I don’t know what I can add to an episode like that, really. That’s what anime perfection looks like.
「風巻立つ」 (Kazetatsu)
“Wind Raiser”
There’s an even more elemental quality than usual to Mushishi lately.
「日照る雨」 (Nisshouru Ame)
“Cloudless Rain”
If there was such a thing as an archetypal Mushishi episode, that might just have been it.
「花 惑い」 (Hana Madoi)
“Floral Delusion”
I’ll never o-hanami the same way again.
「鏡 が 淵」 (Kagami ga Fuchi)
“Mirror Lake”
The symbolism is thick with this one.
「(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.
「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.
