Review There is magic, witches, wizards, wars, and demons. If you can tolerate such things, it's a sweet love story.

Review Mushi-shi has an atmosphere that I haven't been able to find in any other anime. The combination of watercolour backgrounds and soft soundtrack gives you a calm, dreamy feeling.

Episodes are self-contained and rich in their stories. There is, however, a dark tone in most episodes. The interactions between humans and "mushi" are not always smooth, which results in quite eerie cases, such as returning dead, parasite creatures, and being taken into other dimensions.

Ginko, the protagonist, does smoke, Spoiler: but for him, that is a necessity rather than a vice .

The dub was so well made I can't favour one over the other. Nothing was lost in translation.

As of February 02, 2015, Funimation has the entire subbed season on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT_1OdsSvKI&list=PL4F1CE257A87FF5D1
Unfortunately, the dubbed episodes in the same source only go up to episode 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdhR5XZNXbs&list=PL71FE8EBC1D875601

Review Unlike description mentions, it goes beyond chapter 10.

This season of Mushishi features stories somewhat darker than the first season. I personally found there was slightly more blood...

Still soothing and breathtaking.
