I loved how the kid hit Mikage with the acorn and she beat the poo poo out of him and then they got married. The best part is that the Mushi aren't the reason for most of the troubles during this episode, but we did get to see Ginko work some too.

Lurking Haro posted:If that's how she got out, the old man's now in limbo, never dying. True, but he's lived a full life and went more or less aware. It seemed like when the shadow world came in contact with the real world whoever was in it could see the real world so he could feasibly watch over his kids and future descendants that way, plus would have a lifetime of memories to keep him company. I'm not saying it's a great way to spend eternity but if he was approaching it like penance it may be what he feels he deserves. Also just to pull some speculation out of thin air, there's no guarantee that the mushi holding him is immortal; if it dies maybe he is freed and/or dies with it.

Ever since Cushion of Thorns I'm really worried about Ginko's left eye. Is it still a creepy black hole?

He had a glass eye (that he gave away) in an early episode, but I think other than that it's always been a black hole.

Everything Burrito posted:Although I do like the chill opening theme I like how these last two have started without it better. I hope they keep doing that since that means we get a little bit more content. The cycle will never be broken. At some point in the future someone, a kid, an adult, will step in the shadow by accident.

Did the girl with the blackened foot and old woman from the second season special appear in an older episode? They seem familiar

New episode. Remember how in the second episode, that girl sort of astrally projects to this primal mushi space, and she finds Ginko there? I think about that scene a lot. People often talk about the modern clothes he wears, but it's that scene that always made him seem particularly mysterious and formidable to me, more than what we know about his backstory to date could account for. Anyway, I was reminded of that by the lore in this episode, about these channels that connect the minds of people. I have to wonder.

Yeah, I figured the mom was going to turn out to be dead. I guess the ending was supposed to imply as well that there was never anything reeeeally wrong with the kid, he just had a lot of energy and a bit too much of a chip on his shoulder.

Man, how does any kid live long enough to reach adulthood in the Mushishi world. Everywhere they'd likely explore or play in is a trap/gateway to Moonside.

Nate RFB posted:Man, how does any kid live long enough to reach adulthood in the Mushishi world. Everywhere they'd likely explore is a trap/gateway to Moonside. And of course, then there're the Mushi-shi which come to the rescue and are more numerous than we probably think. The show wouldn't be very interesting if we watched the normal kids growing up in normal non-Mushi-danger lives. I keep wondering if Ginko will eventually find someone to become his disciple. He's finding all these kids with Mushi-shi abilities, but he just leaves them with their parents and moves on. You'd think he'd take on one or two as a disciple send them to Mushi-shi school or whatever. What surprised me the most this episode was that the girl didn't have to climb out of the well. She fell in, but when she came back to normal space-time, she was in her front yard. I figured she'd have to go out the way she came in. Totally blew my suspension of disbelief.

Most people can't even see Mushi, let alone stumble into life-changing situations involving them.

I didn't see this as an issue since when Ginko came back he just reappeared wherever he was standing in "well-space" so the house and everything seemed to be in the same place in both worlds. She returned to normal space next to the bonfire with Ginko because that's where they were both standing in well space. The well was definitely some sort of link between the two spaces but other than when Ginko forced it with the smoke, didn't seem to be a two-way door.

A show where I'm actually a little disappointed when the OP gets skipped and the opening credits just get overlaid over the first minute or two.

StandardVC10 posted:In this episode of Mushishi, a young boy I rather thought this episode was fairly grim and horrifying. Ginko admits the whole affair is a pile of rare circumstances stacked one atop the other, but boy o' boy did he ever gently caress up that diagnosis/treatment plan. Also, on the term "drowning". To me, to drown is a final thing. You drowned == you died in water. You don't have a conversation with someone who drowned and say, "So, when did you drown?" That's like saying, "When did you die?" Maybe I'm being overly picky with semantics. I think "So, when did you almost drown?" is a better choice. Could be just the translation too.

I liked that horrifying episode, and I probably should have known it would be bad when things were so happy halfway through. Kinda wish they showed Ginko admitting that he hosed up, though.

I got the impression that the boy 'left' despite Ginko's treatment plan, not because of it, and that in the end it turned out to be inevitable. That made the episode more bittersweet than anything, since because of the mushi the boy and his mother could at least spend several years together. Certainly preferable to being infected with Watahiko... holy poo poo, that episode (S1E21)

I thought the opposite at first, but then I realized that this is correct. The boy was either going to jump in the river at some point or evaporate following a severe flood, Ginko's treatment didn't make things any worse but instead just gave the boy a chance to live a normal life for a little while.

We had a run of bad dads, now it's time for a bad mom as well. Ultimately, I think there are some relationships that aren't salvageable, and can only be ended in a certain way that is satisfactory for everyone.

Well, that was a downer episode, for one where nobody actually got hurt permanently. But it was an excellent episode. It makes sense that the mother didn't just yell out "Don't do it, I love you and want you to live!" or something because of that imminent lightning strike after all her many years of just not caring or not being able to convey any caring. I noticed that the first time he was hit by lightning, the poor kid was tied to the tree. I felt bad for the kid, and obviously he was still upset, but he would have been so, so much better off being with some other relative, so it's good that he left.
