It's nice to see another powerful episode after some rather lacklustre ones that preceeded this one. Although I enjoyed all episodes in the series, I find that my favourite episodes are always the ones where the Mushi's creep factor is quite high. This includes episode 4 (Imenonoawai), 12 (Tokogami), 17 (Uro-san), 21 (Watahaki), and this one (Ganpuku). This episode also contains a much richer color pallette for some reason. Normally a Mushishi episode is heavy on one principal color (ie. Green for Spring, White in Winter, etc). In this one, however, the animators use various colours to illustrate the difference between those with normal sight and those without one. Come to think of it, have we seen how the world looks through Ginko's eyes? Especially considering the fact that one of his eyes was eaten by Tokogami.
