Mushi-Shi Season 2

2014 20 Episodes Animation · Drama ⭐ 8/10

Right now you can watch Mushi-Shi Season 2 on and — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 241 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Yuto Nakano — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Mushi-Shi Season 2 earns its spot. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Mushi-Shi Season 2 through its more ambitious moments. Perceived as strange and feared by man, over time the misshapen ones came to be known as Mushi. Although they harbor no ill intentions towards humans, many suffer from the side effects of their existence and strange nature; exploiting the Mushi without understanding them, even unintentionally, can lead to disaster and strife for any involved. Mushishi Zoku Shou continues the story of Mushishi Ginko on his journey to help the visible world to coexist with the Mushi. Yuto Nakano and Mika Doi lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2014. What separates Mushi-Shi Season 2 from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Mushi-Shi Season 2 fits the bill. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Yuto Nakano grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
