"Insect Master" is like a cup of tea, always creating a quiet and indifferent atmosphere, allowing you to immerse yourself in it and be impressed by its depth.
What it displays in front of you are dense forests, quiet mountain stone roads, and remote ancient mountain villages. All these elements make you feel peaceful and feel the fresh breath of nature.
The overall format of "Mushishi" is a short story in each episode. Different stories lead to the appearance of different characters, and are paired with different background music. It is a refreshing work that is completely different from the commercial animation in the Japanese market.
In terms of style, "Insect" leads to a world we have never known. The overall theme is "protection and separation, survival and sacrifice". It has no particularly strong and high-pitched emotions, and there are few twists and turns in the story.
The plot, no matter when and where, always has a sense of indifference.
In terms of storytelling, its setting is very novel, and it is a work full of the beauty of physical sorrow.
In the world view of this animation, both insects and humans have no mistakes and are all trying to survive.
Insects are an objective existence that does not distinguish between good and evil.
The protagonist Yin Gu can only watch the characters in the story struggle and make choices in the quagmire from a God's perspective, as a third party, and go deeper.
Emotionally speaking, Mushishi is not so much a healing anime as it is a self-healing anime.
The most shocking emotion in the entire anime is probably "helplessness", which is to tear open your wound and then let it heal slowly on its own.
The emotions of each story become real, and they also contain some life philosophy, about dreams, freedom, memory, etc.
In short, "Mushishi" is an anime worth watching. From the story to the graphics to the background music, it is all worthy of consideration.
It's an immersive animation.
