I've watched all currently released episodes, and Mushishi is nothing less than
OUTSTANDING.
Probably one of the best series I've ever watched, and it's very consistent too. I thought with all the great initial stories, it'd have to flap later, but so far all eight have been great tales. I'm also one that prefers a developing storyline, but the case-by-case episode structure here works really well. No complaints.
I need more.
