Mushishi is more... natural, than supernatural. Watching Mushishi makes you really see the world around you. It makes you wonder how phenomenon occur and why miraculous events occur. On the one hand you are seeing a world filled to the brim with the supernatural, and yet strangely real. You feel as if Mushi could exist, that another dimension could be present that science or religion cannot explain, a guiding hand that determines why some things happen and others don't. But what strikes me most about Mushishi (from the first season to the end of Zoku Shou) though, is the human side of it. When faced withthe supernatural, how do we respond? How do we adapt? That question is answered in so many ways in these episodes, and it really makes you realise just how strong and yet how fragile we humans can be.
