Movie Reviews of Mushi-shi, Vol. 6
Movie Review: absolutely beautiful !
Summary: 5 Stars
by Louise Logan United kingdom
i finally completed mushi-shi and i must say i've really enjoyed the series from begining to end it was such a beautiful anime the background and music was breath takeing i couldnt help but being engrossed watching it.
the main character of the show is Ginko who is a mushi-shi master he's a rare person who attracts mushi everywhere he's constantly wanders researing different kind of mushi and helping people that are dealing with mushi. Ginko carries a mysterious wooden box wherever he gose. the box contains souvenirs old letters medicine details of most of its contents remain enigma.
Ginko has a strange apearance with his unusual white hair and green eye colour are the result of an incident involving mushi that happend when he was a child. as a result of this wherever Ginko vist where people have mushi problmes once he cures them he move on he cant stay in one place to long becuase he could attact other mushi plus Ginko smokes constnlty in order to repel the mushi which are endlessly drawn to him.
episode 20 that i really like it was abouta women called TANYU KARIBUSA she the forth-generation scrible of Karibusa family. she bears the mark of generation, cursed to drown in a sea of written characters. The forbidden sealed away withen her body mushi masters come to vist her and tell her mushi-shi stories which she writes and stores away in scrolls hidden away in a serect room which the mushi-shi cant escape there a women who is a mushi-shi master to the karbusa family she has watched and taken care of Tanyu Karibusa since her birth.
Ginko cames and vist Tanyu Karibusa to tell her mushi-shi stories plus to read the scrolls that contain mushi-shi stories and she ask him when her leg gets better that she can walk on it she would like to travel with thats unless by that time she dies of old age.... Ginko said he would like her to travel with some day if not he dosent die of old age or is killed by a mushi-shi. i like that episode.
episode 21 which i found creepy is about a women called AKI who is a mother that gives birth to child who was born with abnormal figure which hides under the house then six weeks later her and her hasband find a baby under the house she knows its her own son she grows up to what they see as a normal healthy boy but delvopes a green disease they write to Ginko for help but when he arrives he cant help their son and have no choice but to kill him. Then more of the strange Childern start to appaer and delveople very quicky that they can talk and they aslo learn very quickly each one of the developeing the same green disease has the first child AKI hasband writes to Ginko and tells him and he returns to kill them but the childern becuse there dangerous end up burning the hole house so that Ginko cant kill them. The Reason that i found this epsiode creepy was because the childen where crossed eyed.
overall i enjoyed watching the hole series and the box set is beautiful and each vol comes with a lovely book and post cards i recomend Mushi-shi you get extra features on Vol 6 of Mushi-shi proudction site tour which is in japanese but with english subtitles alot of work was put into doing Mushi-shi also a actor/ director commentary also the last epsiode you get to see Ginko as a young boy, i hope there's going to a sequel of Mushi-shi i would like to see more of Ginko finding more Mushi-shi.
Summary of Mushi-shi, Vol. 6
Neither good nor evil they are life in its purest form. Vulgar and strange they have inspired fear in humans since the dawn of time and have over the ages come to be known as "mushi."Sound without source for the voice is frozen. A consuming illness that cannot be seen. The sweet tones of childhood will damn those closest but within the sacred smoke her tale will be told.A new species discovered. Decisions made in arrogance and fear. The flames of the dead will find succor in the heat of the living. Life will be undone. Light the fires; darkness is coming.A world touched by four senses until the filth becomes overwhelming. A gaze across the distance across past present and future. Eyes closed against the onslaught; eyes closed to all but truth.Three paths will meet for a time on the mountain to roam and relish and learn the lessons there to be learned. Three paths will separate yet even time cannot erase where the foot has tread.Contains episodes 23-26System Requirements:Running Time: 100 minutesFormat: DVD Genre: ANIMATION/ANIME UPC: 704400051067 Manufacturer No: 0Not surprisingly, Mushi-Shi concludes the way it began, with Ginko wandering through rural Japan, studying the mysterious, elemental life-forms known as Mushi. In the exceptionally handsome episode 23, he visits a hamlet in which the buildings and inhabitants all seem to be covered with rust. The condition is due to rare type of Mushi, and Ginko must find both the cause and cure. Episode 26 offers a rare look at Ginko's childhood, some of which was spent with a tribe of outcasts who followed the veins of light that nourish Mushi. At a time when many otaku complain that anime is falling into ruts, Mushi-Shi stands apart. Understated, deliberately paced, and delicately colored, it offers a genuinely new vision, one reminiscent of a folk tale. Given the popularity of the manga in Japan, fans can hope for a second season or a sequel: 26 episodes don't begin to encompass Ginko's travels--or the diversity of the Mushi. (Rated TV 14: grotesque imagery, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
