Product Description

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'. Ginko sees what most cannot - Mushi, unexplainable forces which have alterd the course of mankind since the genesis of life. Walking quitely through nature, Ginko investigates these rare embodimets of the primeval, aiding those plagued by the supernatural phenomena which surround the Mushi for reasons yet unknown. He is a Mushi-Shi, one with the ability to peer into the places where the Mushi hide in plain site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Dreamy Anime 17 Oct 2011
By hell-oh-kitteh
Mushi Shi is an experience like no other in the world of Japanese, or indeed worldwide, animation. A hypnotic, dreamlike narrative which unfolds over 26 episodes, this, in my opinion, is in the top tier of anime titles available.

Traveling with Ginko (the Mushi Shi of the title) through the various houses and villages of this beautifully realised Japan is like traveling with an old, dear friend and soaking up his wisdom. And as another reviewer so succinctly put it, the only shame is it has to come to an end. But like all the best anime titles, we are left wanting more.

A title, along with GITS, Deathnote, FMA and Cowboy Bebop I return to again and again. Excellence!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful! 12 Jun 2011
By Tootles
This is a beautiful series! The scenery is so well animated with so much care and attention. Around the 3rd or 4th episode is the most stunning study of snow! This isn't one for people who are seeking fast action/fights or comedy. The stories are interesting in a mystical kind of way. The music is gorgeous, and the animation is very clever at times. I've only seen as far as episode 8 so far but I can't wait to watch more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Proper grown up anime 29 April 2012
By Lottie

I find it hard to describe why this is such a wonderful series but let's just say it was worth the £65 for my second hand copy. It very much reminds me of Kino's Journey in terms of tone and format (a series of fascinating self contained stories, connected only by its key protagonist).

Ginko is a Mushi Master, able to see and interact with supernatural creatures called Mushi, essentially a pure form of life existing all around but not generally known about until they cause a problem. Travelling from place to place, he studies them while trying to help those individuals inflicted . For example, one story includes a man made deaf by a snail like Mushi which feeds on sound and during hard times will sometimes abandon its own home to crawl up into the shell shaped cochlea of a person's ear. Another's intended bride has gradually disappeared into the Mushi world and in an attempt to bring her back, continues with the ceremony and with building a life for them both.

As with Kino's Journey, some stories end happily, some sadly and others just seem to sort of end. Either way, they are so beautifully told, I really didn't mind.
