"They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as "Mushi". Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. Ginko is a "Mushi-shi" who travels around to investigate and find out more about the "Mushi". In the process, he also lends a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurances which may be related to the "Mushi"."

I think one of the best words to describe this anime is "peaceful". Watching Mushishi is relaxing. Just the opening theme - "The Sore Feet Song" by Ally Kerr, sets the moon straight away. In fact, the music throughout the show is lovely. The animation's really good, and I find the artwork in this anime absolutely beautiful. The scenery, the backgrounds...even the lighting! Like I said, it's a quiet anime - there's not much action, but I still looked forward to and enjoyed every episode (26 in total). Also, each episode is a small story in itself, so having seen all the previous ones isn't necessary to understand what's happening. The characters are well rendered too. I must say I really like Ginko.
If you haven't seen it yet, I strongly recommend it! :)
Ginko <3
My first thought when I saw this: "Ginko cosplaying Kakashi?" XD
