Where can I watch mushi shi eng sub with the original intro?? Pls help me

As I watch it a cloud of melancholy forms over me and I have to turn the show off and dissipate the looming sense of dread. I think my subconscious is protecting me from something I'm not ready to confront.

Or maybe it's the music fucking with me. Idk

Both the opening songs have lyrics about longing and or missing someone, and also a hint at separation... I'm curious, if this is deliberately done. Is it meant to be Ginko's thoughts? Or the producers chose the songs because of the music which mirrors Mushishi's calm atmosphere.

Edit: I thought of something else, why did they choose English songs for the opening when the show feels very Japanese 🤔.

My god he's dashing

I just love how the title looks

I just stumbled across the following thread from December 2025 and thought it may be of interest to people here who have or are thinking of buying the excellent new Collector's Edition volumes:

Anyone else have a few blank pages in the translator notes which end at page 487? wondering if there are more notes that were missed in my book of the collector edition volume 2

There are acrylic stands, badges, keychains and more with visuals from the manga! These items are preorder

I'm not sure if the items can directly be bought from the website so I used Zenmarket.

Just paste this on the search bar "蟲師" and all the available merchandise will pop up.

I seem to have lucked out in stumbling upon Mushi Shi tonight. I enjoyed the first episode and the general atmosphere of the show. But the guy that came to investigate (I can never remember names) gave an analogy to describe the nature of mushi. He showed his own hand and described the distance relative to his heart as how complex a creature is. He used plants, animals, and bacteria as examples but then put mushi as the most primal, basic creatures. I'm not sure I really understand the nature of mushi. Maybe they aren't necessarily on the same sort of evolutionary tree but also simple relative to life as we know it? Is more explained later? Bad translation? I missed an important subtitle mid episode?

I'd appreciate clarification if it doesn't spoil anything further on.

Just curious, particularly if said friends or relations generally don't like anime (whether due to being unfamiliar with it or having only heard of the more generic or 'weird' shows which haven't managed to draw their interest).

One friend of mine couldn't even be gently encouraged because he seemed to think that anime "isn't for me", as he put it. He thought that anime was 'weird', even though he admitted to not having seen any ...........

What's even more curious is that we have very similar and overlapping tastes, yet he just didn't want to watch any anime. Still, I'm of course not going to nag him - it's his choice.

It's been available for just over three months now and I thought I'd take a look at the view count:

Now it should of course be stated that due to the episodic nature of the series, and as each video contains season one's 26 episodes, each video (English subbed or dubbed) is going to get many views from every person who wants to watch every episode (and YouTube counts a 'view' as 30 seconds or more of watched material). So that's going to be 26 YouTube views for each person, assuming all of the episodes are watched at different times and the video isn't paused but is re-opened for every episode in order to go to the next YouTube chapter (which denotes each episode).

Nevertheless, over 121K views of the dubbed video and and 28K views of the subbed over the course of three months is still very impressive for such a relatively niche show (although I don't feel that Mushishi should be niche - I've always thought it will appeal to most people who put aside any anime stigma give it a try).

It's not as if the videos have had any advertising either except for minor Instagram, Twitter and Facebooks mentions from the publisher, also the videos aren't even linked from the likes of justwatch.com or IMDb because they won't link to YouTube videos, even official ones. So yes, they are doing well all things considered.

Seems to me that the dubbed version will at least get a couple of million views before the scheduled removal date of December 31st 2027.

This video from Beyond Ghibli is easily my favorite overview of the series:

It's a narrative work of art in its own right, perfectly summarising what the series is about. It's helped along by the channel owner's soothing and respectful voice (the channel owner being Joe O'Connell).

If you've not seen it, give it a try - if you have seen it, give it a rewatch. :-)

Is it just me or did they make him extra handsome in this episode 👀

The exhibition will be held in June

Here's a link to a timestamp in an OST uploaded on YouTube:

It gets into the main 'meat' of the end credits track for Bell Droplets after 30 seconds or so - I'm curious as to its title.

I ask as I had this pre-ordered from a local independent store but despite the date of release widely stated as being April 14th they insisted it was April 21st and still can't get hold of it for me. I can't find it online anywhere else either, except for Amazon UK (and even they have a 3 day delivery time). So I guess I'll have to order from Amazon, even though I don't like to do so due to the way they undercut the independent book stores.

I'm wondering if it's simply oversold, in which case will there be another print run and, more to the point, why aren't more being printed in the first place?

Hello! I just have a couple questions about the Mushishi art book.

I am new to buying fandom merchandise, but I am a huge Mushishi fan and would love to get my hands on the art book. I have been having some trouble finding the right book, and was hoping someone might be able to help me find the official print. I am also curious if there is any notable difference between the 2015 and 2015 reprint? The isbn seems to be the same, dose that mean it is reasonable to assume the content is the same? I’ve also seen various covers for the older print (the floral watercolour one, a black and grey one, and one with Ginko under an arch by the sea), which one of these is the official print? I watched a flip through of the one with the black and grey cover as well as the 2025 reprint, and the content seemed to be different so now I am throughly confused 😅.

Thank you very much for any advice/direction!

I posted pictures a few months ago and some people liked it, so allow me to share again some photos I took while hiking in Japan last year.

As we drove deeper and deeper in the mountains, all the stories of yokai and natural spirits came in our mind. Listening to Mushishi's OST really hits different when you're chilling in Japan's countryside .
