Zorak posted:He doesn't really dress in clothing that's distinctively 20th century clothing; keep in mind a lot of that basic fashion he's wearing is 18th/19th century in origin. I believe the author has stated that Mushishi takes place during the Sakoku (when outsiders were being kept out of Japan), which lasted up until 1853. Even during that period, trade with outside powers (namely the Dutch) was still occurring, just in a very controlled and limited way.  Actually, he is dressed in 20th-century clothing. iirc, It's because Mushi-Shi was originally going to be set in modern day, but when the author re-wrote it to a feudal era he just left Ginko's outfit as-is.

Zorak posted:My point was more that given the period it's set in, his clothes isn't exactly alien to it even if he wasn't designed for it. I only really meant it as a bit of trivia. Given how much Ginko travels, and Mushi aren't likely to only occur in Japan, he's probably managed to get overseas somehow at some point or other.

Zorak posted:I can never tell if those breaks help or hurt production. I guess if I can't tell the effect is overall negligible. It'll probably help, if the high quality of animation in the original series is anything to go by. It'll give the animators time to do two blocks of quality work rather than descending into rushing week-by-week as it goes on. Writing-side; Mushi-shi's not exactly a big franchise in the way Gundam 00 or Code Geass were, and the episodes are pretty much all stand-alone, so there's not a lot of reason for any higher-ups to go insane over. About the only bad thing that could theoretically happen is the show does so badly in the ratings the studio pulls the plug after the first block of twelve episodes, but that seems pretty unlikely given how unlikely this second season being made was in the first place.

Zorak posted:The fact that he's such a Mushi magnet that he basically causes devastation if he dwells in a location way too long sort of reinforces just how much Mushi and him are interconnected. I thought that was something that happened with all Mushi-shi, hence why they're all nomadic?

I've just started catching up on Mushi-shi Season 2, and holy poo poo was Floral Delusion dark. My god  .It's really telling how bad it is when Ginko's response to the situation is just to burn the house down with them inside rather than his usual attempts at mediation and curing the afflicted.
