Mushishi Watch Order Guide

Mushishi is a unique and beautiful anime which is worthy of being considered a masterpiece. It leaves a sense of calmness and a bittersweet taste at the end of every episode. The anime isn’t about finding a solution to a problem. It’s about merely observing these supernatural beings called Mushi that co-exist with humans. It has a combination of mysticism with traditional Japanese folklore set in the backdrop.

Mushishi is slow and episodic anime, which isn’t a bad thing as it fills the hole created by lots of other shows. It’s not something you can binge-watch. It requires patience and willingness to allow the anime to flow according to its pacing. You don’t have to force yourself to absorb everything when watching Mushishi. Just relax and lets it’s animation and music drown you into the dreamy world filled with Mushi.
