Random Curiosity

「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.

「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.

「野末 の 宴」 (Nozue no Utage)
“Banquet at the Forest’s Edge”

God’s in his Heaven, and all’s right with the world. Mushishi’s back.
