  • is this story revolved around ginko? i dont really understand who its about.

  • Not if u was watching this at 6 A.M like me I WAS SO F**king scared T T

  • This is so freaking cool :)

  • If you've haven't read the manga you need to- this episode is chapter 4, and if you compare the two they're nearly identical, its quite amazing!:D

  • wow this is so very calming in a really odd way....

    btw, the guy who does ginkos voice is the same guy who does general Mustang from FMA.

  • Such a lovely anime to relax to while trying to calm my Code Geass high

  • @KingUniverso That's funny, I did exactly the same. Was halfway through a Code Geass episode, thought "screw this, I need some mushishi".

  • ginko is not your name ginko

  • Oooooh Saaaaaaay Caaaan Yooooou Seeeee?!

  • Have you tried closing your second eye lid?

    Just for a moment, close yours eyes.

    Then, close your eyes again without opening them the first time.

    See the first time you close your eyes you see images burned into your retina for staring at a screen...

    But close your eyes that second time, I see true darkness

  • This show is hypnotic!

    

  • dude it works! the eye thing but we only truly see pitch black is when we fall asleep! omg but thats when dreams start to happen

  • Ok, does anyone else just hate the into song. I can't stand it.

  • @MaestroAlvis the first time i watched this anime i couldnt stand but after u watch the anime a first time n wait a good couple months to a year u miss it n the intro song sounds kinda cool, i guess its an acquired liking

  • @ravennyxxy915 I think it's been a years since I saw the series and I still don't think I like it. It has this weird break where it just changes tempo all of a sudden. I like the song on both sides of the change but if I heard the two halves separately I would never guess they were from the same song.

  • @MaestroAlvis lmao yea well i guess i just like it then lmao o well i love the soundtrack to the series tho i can listen to it all day

  • That's just freaky, I always wondered about that. This episode was awesome. The thing you can see in the dark with your eyes closed. I wonder if anyone else can see everything in a dark room after you close your eyes like if they were open still?...

  • love the sound track to this anime it is so calming and refreshing frm all those love dovey or bloodshed anime

  • this is so mysterious and beautiful

    Definitely a welcome relief from the standard cliched animes out there

  • i love this show series!!! its so amazing!!

  • In all anime, KABOOM!

  • this is my favorite episode too...so peaceful....*closes eyes and listens to the ending music*

  • @Itachixlover13 soo cheesy xD. Go watch some naruto!

  • who remebers the kid from the first ep.? that kids name is the name of the creator of this anime i heard he has been drawing and writeing this thing sense he was a child im sure hes happy that his idea got brought to life thats what the first ep. was about

  • @allymbaby wow never knew that thanks i always like hearing about that sort of info ...makes you closer to the anime... but thats just me ^_^

  • @eeve609 thanks

  • The art style is gorgeous, but this episode must have been really easy to draw.

  • Oh god, again, the music at the end is so wonderful. . . If I relax, I feel like I'm about to cry.

  • this is my favorite episode! i love it!

  • I honestly cannot say enough good about this series. Lately I've grown really cynical of anime, after having finally caught on to the cliches. I've just grown tired of it, honestly. But this....this is something else. It's so unique, fresh, beautiful, haunting...it's unlike anything I've ever seen. Like, it's hard to describe...just like mushi, I guess.

  • @MaRiAtheHeDg3hOg well if you like this, then you'll love Kino's Journey.

  • @MaRiAtheHeDg3hOg

    I feel the exact same way

  • I'm going to forget for a second that he was able to put a needle through a GLASS eye and just say that I've seen countless anime and I must say that for the first time (when that girl opened her eyes and that liquid came out and went up) I was truely creeped out

  • the girl is creepy

  • that snake thing is cool. like those firework things... that was gross, the ocean of the moshi from her eyes... why did he make them go back? why don't he empty the mohsi out of her eyes? i know he had the snake so what? is it cured without the snake or there is more creatures there? and that wave all at once, he's out to miss a few... lmao...

  • it's like how you dream, how you meditate... studies show they know there are two kinds of dreaming... deep sleep dreaming and slighlty asleep dreaming... Called slow-wave sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep when I got myself to meditate, on own, i close eyes and block out all images but you can imagine a new small image. there's that point you see all black before it too.

  • anyone eles wanna sleep when there hear travis as ginko talks or is it just me

  • so much better than my little pony lol

  • The music at the start totally ruins it! :(

  • lol ginkos eye and hair placement keeps moving...

  • Was any one else sad when they watched all the episodes this was the best anime i have ever seen if you have netflix watch it there better quality but show is amazing

  • is this true ?

  • everytime i close my eyes i dont see the flickering

  • The ending sounds so beautiful <3

  • how many of you guys tried to close your second eyelid after this?

  • This show is like "house" but on acid

  • Every time I hear the beginning, I think he sings "I crapped and jizzed to find you." Well, it adds a bit of humor into this anime even if its just the opening and I doubt that's what it says. xD

  • They made it so that MY eyes hurt in the light in some scenes.

  • Goddammit, if this isn't one of the best anime I've EVER seen!

  • i cant really hear this =(

  • @shadowzach00 ikr :( im on my laptop and i hav to put it really close to my face O:

  • now why couldnt ginko go and make a real functioning eye for himself like he did for the girl -__-

  • Wtf i never knew Mushi-Shi was on youtube. i actually saw a couple of episodes on Netflix. 

  • This anime is so interesting... i don't kno what else to say. It's like it lets your imagination flow, you become engrossed in seeing how these "Mushi" are connected to the world around. The story is so well thought out as well, not to mention the visuals are so refined and beautiful. Funimation did a good job on the dub as well, thumbs up to the leader in dubbing anime!

  • so is this series a bunch of short stories about the mushi master? i've only seen the first episode and im just starting this one but don't have time to understand what this is all about yet i need someone to sum it up

  • Not the mushi master's going to have to find another glass eye =/ damn =D

    I wonder if we do have a second eyelid haha then again I doubt it =] x

  • The second eyelid...This whole topic brings to mind an isolation tank. Check out this video from Joe Rogan, the comedian. He has a bit where he lets the audience choose the topic. In this video he has a serious talk about the isolation talk for the first 2:15 seconds. Listen to it and tell me its not "closing your second eye" talk.

    /watch?v=6vG_IlfIpfQ&feature=r­elated

  • How come everyone says that Ginko only has one eye (like at 7:25 in this episode, and it is mentioned in other episodes), but at 14:40 he clearly has two eyes?

  • @GomuSantoryuGirl

    Did you watch the whole video. Wherent you paying attention at 18:20. Its a glass eye.

  • @gcastellanos02 Yeah, i asked the question before watching the entire video.

  • @GomuSantoryuGirl

    Right. That would explain it. =)

    I do that all the time actually. Sometimes I write a comment and then realize as soon as I post it that someone wrote the exact same thing in the comment below me. =P

  • i love the theme song to this anime its so relaxing you know

  • @AquaAngel999 It's called "The sore feet song" It's cute huh?

  • wht is the entrance song called?

  • i came here because i heard about the girl you have locked in your shed lololololololol

  • I watched this episode stoned, and god was it it trippy.

  • any ione else think he looks like near?

    

  • God! my eyes hurt!

  • This episode reminds me so much of Life in the Dark, even the background music reminds me a bit of the album The Sunya Is Rising.

  • this kinda reminds me of Princess Mononoke in a way

  • Oh shit, I accidentally clicked on the dub!! 11 year olds, 11 year olds everywhere. I'M OUT!

  • @jddeitz2000 . . . --.--

  • @commenterofsorts

    See what I mean?

  • Such a melancholic feeling to this whole anime -w- Makes me want to cry and smile at the same time

  • i love ur comment it makes me feel the exact same way!

  • @dinosaurjenny333 I'm not...

  • aww she's so pretty with those green eyes.

  • 5+ people cant close their second eyelid.

  • the sound seems life like so i tell my parents this is all the outside i need!

  • @SammyUchiha1 lol nice

  • I feel so relaxed after watching even one of these episodes. The storyline is brilliant and the detail poured into the art made it have that sort of mystical dream-like aspect to it. I know I was hooked after watching just one episode! Defintely recomended!!

  • wow its like the doctor said screw it and threw a blanket over her face and said good enough....

  • -sigh- I have a bad/good habit of always crying at the end of any final episode or manga chapter of animes/mangas!!! >////< They always get me smack in the heart and soul ^^

  • 18:28 I guess you say he got an his  eye on now her.. Sorry sorry

  • try toread the manga very very good i taked from the library of my school i lose it and now i have to pay it universal806

  • Gin is such a great lead. I would vote for him before any action hero anyday. (except Edward - FMA :D)

  • Im Fairly sure u can branch a independent anime off each of these episodes plots, they are so AWESOME, they get me right in my soul.

  • This is so cute ^_^

  • My god, my eyes aren't really closed! *Shakes hands, walks around in circles*

  • Thumbs up if you try to close your second eyelid after watching this episode.

  • 4 people suck

  • lol! putting a blanket over your head should make your eyes feel better! not.. xD

  • neat 8D this is now one of my favorite shows behind fma brotherood XDDD

    meowgirl X3

  • My roommate loves anime and let me borrow these dvds one week, and I was just beyond baked with medical marijuana, recently unemployed, not a care int he world, loving this show. Once again, I find myself collecting unemployment with a bong full of dank kush and aching to see these episodes. so soothing and relaxing i could fall asleep watching this.

  • This anime has wonderful aesthetics- the colors and sounds are such a huge part of what makes this anime great

  • the combination of peace and odd sadness

  • thumbs up if you tried to close your seconded eyelid after watching this

  • I want to find the river of light.

  • @AZWozzeck

    It's all around you!

  • i think its happy and blissful more than sad.

  • The theme song makes me feel sad I don't know why..

  • this show is defiantly the best looking anime i have EVER seen it's so beautiful and not just visually.

  • Does anyone else spend time trying to close their second eyelid now? I do... so far no luck... ;)

  • I creamed myself at the end of the episode

  • Anyone know where I get guitar tabs for The Sore Feet Song?

  • Why is this one of the best anime i've ever seen!? So little happens and yet so much. It reminds me of Hayao miyuzaki's work.

  • this show gives me the creaps in a good way

  • Sae has vestigial remnants called "nictitating membranes" (i.e. second eyelids) that fish, lizards and all birds have. Rabbits, camels, cats and other mammals still have them.

  • He gave her an eye? What is this, Tsubasa??

  • @TheNegativeAlchemist

    it could also be xxxHolic, too, but sadly not.

  • Wait, did he die or am I missing something?

  • My eyes don't go pitch black when I close them, I wish I had that kind of tranquility.

  • Love the show... and lol< Travis is right! "All I that show was was Ginko, talking. the. entire. time." lol, he does talk alot.

  • This anime is so mellowing I guess this is what pot heads feel like...I'm gunna stick with this. so much easier.

  • The ending was really relaxing. I love this anime

  • This is about the only anime that I watch the intro to every single time.

  • anybody know how many episodes or seasons there are of this?

  • @whiteninjaz88 I beleive there are 26 episodes

  • This is gonna sound weird but I think Mushishi is like what would happen if Hayao Miyazaki and the writers of House MD worked together...

    Still, you can't really compare this anime with anything else. It's just above and beyond so many others. It's the kind of thing you can watch around people who hate anime and they would still get sucked into the story.

  • @yuyuzja i thought what u said was stupid at first, but then i thought again and realized u were totally right

  • @yuyuzja True. I always felt this show was a bit of an allegory of how disease can affect peoples lives and the lives of loved ones around them.

  • @yuyuzja I thought I was the only one who thought this xD

  • 16:50 oh dang that some Silent Hill right there!

  • love this episode ♥

  • "Sai was finally able to come out of the shed. She's so happy now. She spends her time admiring the trees and the flowers." o_0

  • It's weird hearing this in English after seeing the every episode in Japanese, but still amazing show I highly recommend to anyone who isn't sure

  • what a great storyline..very original.  very heart warming

  • i read the manga

  • @mellao13 I was wondering about the manga for this show... is it good? Is it still going on? Is the storyline any different? Cause I was thinking about reading it....

  • When he opens his eyes and it made that cracking noise I died inside...

  •  God, i love this show, each episode is so interesting. The plot is extraordinary. It combines fantasy, horror, drama, and a little bit of comedy into one amazing show.

  • lol love the show but @ 21:19 sei goes outside with her eyes completely closed just after regaining her vision, just gotta love anime eyes when some1s happy i guess.

  • this is a cool show

  • So true about the eyelids.

  • Mushi Master Ginko; The Indiana Jones of Microbiology

  • Man! this dub is sooooo GOOD!

  • "It's my fault for feeling sorry for you." Not exactly the best way to offer comfort.

  • After I saw this I was asking everyone "Did you know that you have a second eyelid?"

  • There are 3 episodes of this series that I LOVE the most. They are,starting at number 3-

    3-The Sound of Rust

    2-The Sound of Footsteps on the Grass

    1-The Light of the Eyelid

    In particular Light of the Eyelid has shown that Ginko makes use of his knowledge of dealing with Mushi to help someone that has been afflicted by Mushi.

  • lol I did cuz im a loser

  • yes! ep 2, finally. now i can watch it. veoh had the wrong anime posted at mushi-shi s1e2 >.<

  • who loves it when the funimation sigh comes up

  • @katieagarcia You should be watching.

  • love this show

  • love the manga, love the animation, such vibrent colors

  • one of my favorite episodes :D Ginko is so hot XD

  • Aweeeesssooommmeeee~~~~~~~~~

  • This show makes me feel this odd sadness..I'm not sure if anyone else gets that way too after watching these.

  • i feel the same and some times i like the sadness

  • @Stefiebaby11 The series does have a sort of melancholy tone.

  • @Stefiebaby11 i personally feel more of a calmness tho....

  • I hate these adds >< But I love Mushishi <3 <3 00:01

  • That little boy is so cute!

  • That's so strange I'm no doctor but when you completely lose all of your eye sight you'll never get it back but when that guy put the glass eye in that girl I'm a little surprised cuz you can't just do in real life so easily for everybodys eyes there's many connections and nerve endings if those are damaged or disconnected then you can never see again.

  • have you seen the manga? this was actually the best story by a long shot. Unlike the other stories, the creator based this one on modern times and ginko's clothes were diffrent.

    btw this was the one that won the award for the creatory :)

  • some people in the world can see ghost i am one of them

  • @kenslee50 Those are called crazy people. You probably have a brain tumor. :(

  • @CrazyMonkey124 Nope not necassarily, anything is possible, just because some people can't see things does not mean that they don't exist

  • @Trussy1000 Well sure anything is possible, but I don't think ghosts exist, what that person says she is seeing is MOST likely her(?) own hallucinations. Although I see it perfectly plausible that they are angels, or demons. Not ghosts, but I do believe spirits are a huge possibility. I guess you only look at the surface too.

  • @Trussy1000 Didn't mean that in a bad way, just the fact that you saw my post as destroying all possibilities, rather than just the possibility of ghosts(human spirits) if people see real ghosts I believe they are more than likely demons imitating a human soul. I think she(?) is lying, albeit unintentional due to ignorance(I might be ignorant as well, maybe ghosts really do exist).

  • @CrazyMonkey124 I see where you're coming from It's pretty hard to trust anyone who comments on youtube anyway XD. Though I wouldn't say ghosts of people are demon's imitating. after all the concept of demon's is pretty knew in the history of the world it was created in Christianity as a way of conveying evil spirits. But that's not to say that they aren't there either. The problem that that has created is; most people are scared of ghosts :/ Nothing to fear from them really (I study them alot)

  • @Trussy1000 Well I study ghosts a bit, that's how I found mushishi, but fundamentally, I believe ghosts to be something completely different from what people think they are in most cases. Demons aren't as new as Christianity, though. But like you said, not gonna trust anyone like that.

  • @CrazyMonkey124 Yeah, I like how people have different beliefs, that's what makes the world what it is, would be boring otherwise. I think I believe that there are several and billions of spirits and ghosts are just the ones that can get into contact with us a bit more than others

  • @Trussy1000 I agree, without diversity....Well I don't wanna think about it! :P

  • Trussy1000 Hum I wounder to my self quite often why human beings just can communicate with spirits I mean if the spirit realm exist then why can't we communicate with them. When we die and assuming we become a spirit then we have the opportunity to speak with other spirits then why can't we speak to them while where in human form. Just what the hell is lord Jehovah thinking, and what difference do we have to spirits other then our living flesh?

  • kenslee50 If you can see them then prove it, however I do believe some exceptional people can see into the spirit realm but if you can't prove it then people are gonna think your crazy no offence them but still. It's a damn shame everyone can't see spirits my self included I'm pissed.

  • I can close my second eyelid! :D Its hard...

  • @Muddytalon

    Uuuh huh...And I have a real, functioning light saber.
