Manga
There is also the manga which i believe has 14 chapters.

Opening Theme: "The Sore Feet Song" by Ally Kerr

Anime
It premiered on October 22, 2005 in Japan, but after 20 episodes, the series went on hiatus, and resumed screening the six remaining ones in May 14, 2006. Each episode tells a self-contained story and is not dependent on prior episodes for background. This made it possible for the producers of the anime to change the relative order of the stories. However, aside from a slight abridgment of the dialogue, this is the only major difference between the manga and the anime.It is also Dubbed to by Funimation

Movie
A Live Action Mushishi feature film released in 2006, was directed by Katsuhiro Otomo

Plot Summary: They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they reserable the primeval body of life and are generally known as "Mushi". Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited nuraber of humans are aware of them. Ginko is a "Mushi-shi" who travels around to investigate and find out more about the "Mushi". In the process, he also lenRAB a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurrences which may be related to the "Mushi"
 
This anime was so brilliant. It`s one of my faves by far. The storylines were always interesting to me and I thought the animation was great. 10/10 ^.^

Oh and also, Ginko is awesome
 
Awesome awesome series.

If you haven't seen this, then you need to sit down and ask yourself what the **** you've been doing with your life up untill this point.

Just kidding. Its a charming series with a very likable lead, nice dialogue and humor and some quite unexpected substance. This stuff will detoxify your soul man. I dug the animation too.

BTW, have either of you seen Natsume's Book Of FrienRAB? Very similer vibes. Check it, you'll like it. There's a second series just out now.
 
Ginko is one of those great characters. He takes a non bias pov on situations and uses his skill and intelligence to solve problems. And the best of all, this series is devoid of moral implications. The mushi aren't evil they just survive. Its Ginko's mission to make sure that the two species don't rub each other wrongly too much.
Great show, better than Natsume, but not by much. The op of Mushishi has a detoxifying effect. It has great music and atmosphere and practically no gimmick or formula, which is where Natsume pales in comparision.
 
I caught the first episode of this, (dubbed though), and was really impressed. By the posts above it seems the rest of the series keeps up like the first one, which I was wondering about.

I am after a change from things like Berserk and Shigurui and it seems this fits the bill. It will be the next series I watch.
 
Quite a visually stunning anime.
I think the studio's are getting a little better.
Although the manga was great.


Anyway, the anime had a nice feel to it. hes kinda a supernatural detective guy. I find it quite interesting how he is able to pull out the Mushi.

Mushishi is Great.

Only live action film I liked
 
I haven't really watched the real live version of it, but the actor (Joe Odagiri) is pretty well known, and I've watched some of his past works, impeccable. x3 I just wish they didn't make Ginko look so scruffy...=_=

Anyway, I finished the anime, and I immediately fell in love with it, the OP really does fit the anime. I just wonder if they're planning to make a new season, since Ginko's job doesn't seem complete yet...
 
i havent seen the movie either. the anime is incredible and i finished it in a week. (it's a very calming anime to watch, considering i watch shonen a lot).

yes! they need a second season!
 
Seriously...this is a great anime. This is one of those I can watch over and over. Most the 23 minute storys in each episode could EASILY in themselves take up 13 episodes. The storys are so well told, and its so interesting to see Ginkos point of view, he views mushi as niether evil or good. They just are, and they just survive. Its one of those that is a must watch in my book.
 
I remeraber watching it and thinking what a great show it was. It was lowkey and beautiful, but never got to finish it.

I finally purchased the boxset.
I cant wait to see it on my new 42 inch
 
I've watched it... and I suppose it is the one of the best anime. It has the artistic value cose the graghic is a perfect work of art... the lanRABkapes were so bright and the atmosphere was really mystical. It made a good impression on me. But at the same time I noticed that not the main heroes are similar I mean there faces....
 
Mushi-shi was decent. Some of the writing for the episodes was amazing, but some episodes kind of dragged in my opinion. I wouldn't re-watch it, but it was good the first run.
 
I remeraber watching this when it was coming out and thinking it was amazing. For some reason or another I ended up dropping it, but definetly going to have to pick it up again.
 
It was a really beautiful anime and almost poetic at times. It was certainly very atmospheric and had some great stories about the mushi/human interaction(some of which were quite sad). Ginko was a pretty cool protagonist.
