1st Epsidoe (http://www.anime-sub.com/2008/04/mushishi-episode-01.html)
Hadn't seen this one mentioned in the Playground, so I thought I would bring it up. I liked this anime. The strange part is: I don't know why.
This seemed(to me at least) to be an entirely different kind of anime. It wasn't the lack of lasers/giant robots/genji girls/sword-swinging-badasses/guns that made it seem so different(although it helped), neither was it the lack of dramatic fight scenes and action sequences(though that also helped). The lack of a dramatic world/nation threating plot and overarching storyline are what seemed to set it apart.
Normally, I wouldn't give such an anime the time of day(mostly due to the lack of action and overarching/dramatic plot lines), however, this one just seemed... peaceful. Maybe it was a welcome change of pace from most of the anime I've watched, maybe the artwork was good(I'm not sure about this one), but for a reason I can't quite put a finger on, I enjoyed this anime. I'm not saying it's the best thing ever, but I did enjoy it, and I encourage you to watch the first two episodes at least.
Have any other Playgrounders seen it? Any thoughts/opinions?
