I know this thread is old and buried, but I was wondering, has anyone ever thought about doing a Mushishi RPG? pen and paper type? Computer game might be fun in a Myst-style, or perhaps just a exploration and collection game though...

Those all would be quite an interesting way to make a Mushishi game. As for me the Myst style game sound sthe best, but maybe I'm just saying that since I'm such a huge Myst fan.

Seriously though the style and atmosphere of Myst I believe would compliment the style of Mushishi very well as they both have the same kind of slow burn, atmospheric feel to them.

I just finished rewatching Mushishi.

My opinion, that this is one of the best animes, i have ever seen, doesnt change. The story is unique, the look is perfect, and the soundtrack is pure awsome. When listening to the soundtracks, i always get a chill. Each individual story is very fabulous. For me, its realy sad, that

Spoiler for ending(episode 26):

I actually havent started to read the manga, but i will certainly do so.

I agree with everything said there. Also, Ginko is one of the best characters ever created.
This was the only anime that I knew would be in my top 10 while I was still watching it. It is practically flawless. Still waiting for a season 2, the manga has been completed for a while now...

I'm as well holding out hope for a season 2. Even if we do get one though, I doubt it'll be anytime soon.

A seconds season would be awsome. I hope the manga will be translated till the very end, because i dont want to miss any little part of this masterpiece.

Awsomeness.

Maybe this is a little late, but I was wondering, Why is Mushi-shi manga vol. 6 (I think it's 6) so hard to find? Any particular reason?

There wasn't a very large print of the series to begin with.

Puddingman · 2011-09-21, 12:51

Ahh okay, I guess it was just chance then or something?

Rahan · 2011-09-22, 17:39

Late volumes are not yet out of print, early volumes are already reprinted / restocked ?

That's what my librarian answered me when I asked why they had the beginning and the latest volumes of Vagabond, but not the dozen of volumes or so between them.

Puddingman · 2011-09-22, 20:45

Ahh I gotcha! Does that mean they'll eventually reprint it and they'll be more available?

Shiroth · 2011-09-23, 03:40

Don't forget that Del Ray are not longer in business, so Mushishi volumes won't be printed again. That's why i originally said there wasn't a large print.

Puddingman · 2011-09-23, 10:47

Alrighty, I understand, thanks for your help!

Puddingman · 2011-10-14, 17:56

Hey hey, if anyone reads this I have a question about the manga.

Spoiler for Tender Horns and Trodden Grass:

I'm wondering if this series references itself like that. Does anyone have any ideas? If it does, please don't give specific examples. I want to connect the world as much as possible.

yourfriendrick · 2012-03-24, 05:02

I love this series.

I just watched episode 11 and I hope someone will take pity on my obtuseness and explain the big reveal of the episode.

So in the course of the episode they give us a few clues:

Spoiler:

And the crucial "reveal" of the episode shows:

Spoiler:

So I can't quite figure out what happened, but I theorize:

Spoiler:

I have no idea what the writer expects me to infer from these limited clues. If anyone can clue me in, please help!

ellifeedn · 2012-03-24, 21:55

Im just not satisfied to get a lot more of those stunning stories. Seeing this ending, makes me wana have another 26 episodes season. I actually havent started to read the manga, but i will certainly do so. __________________

Spoiler for Tender Horns and Trodden Grass: I noticed in Tender Horns, the boy's mother has a memory about seeing a mountain catch on fire, and she noted the sound of the lava. Is this the same mountain that catches on fire in The Trodden Grass Episode? I'm wondering if this series references itself like that. Does anyone have any ideas? If it does, please don't give specific examples. I want to connect the world as much as possible. __________________

yourfriendrick Member Join Date: Sep 2011	Can someone please explain what I was supposed to infer? I love this series. I just watched episode 11 and I hope someone will take pity on my obtuseness and explain the big reveal of the episode. So in the course of the episode they give us a few clues: Spoiler: 1. The mountain water makes the women very fertile, and so they often have to abandon their children on the mountain because they can't feed them. 2. The old mountain-man was in love with a girl from the village when he was younger. 3. The old mountain-man said he had a wife in the past, but she died because the energy from the mountain was too strong for her. And the crucial "reveal" of the episode shows: Spoiler: At some point in the past, the girl greeted the man. a. She looked emotionally disturbed to the point of hysteria, but was faking calm. b. Her hands were red, apparently with human blood. c. She wanted the man to comfort her, and he looked as if he wanted to hug her. So I can't quite figure out what happened, but I theorize: Spoiler: 1. Maybe she had a baby, and then she killed it and went crazy, so it was her baby's blood on her. 2. Maybe the mountain energy made her sick, so she coughed up blood and went crazy. I have no idea what the writer expects me to infer from these limited clues. If anyone can clue me in, please help!
