And they always pull it off, every episode about 2-3 minutes in my thoughts are drifting I'm not too heavily into it because they are introducing the characters, setting, and plot of that episode. But after 7-10 minutes I'm tottaly engulfed into the world of the Mushihi's and the tragic story of the human intertwined with them.

I really don't know of any other animes that can pull off such brillant 20 minutes short stories time and time again.
Yeah I feel the same way, at first I'm thinking okay new chars new story, wonder if I will enjoy this...but I always do, and another great episode where the guy just had to move on with his life, and I'm glad that unlike some of the previous eps he made that tough decision, and cherished what he still had rather then clinging onto what he had already lost.
