It's nice to see this creepy episode after the rather tame episode 20. It helps that the Mushi looks rather disgusting this time around thanks to its green colour and slug-like movement. This episode also drives down the fact that some Mushi are actually parasites that feed on its host and can pose a threat to those that are in its way. Animation-wise, this is still as good as the rest of the series. With only 5 more episodes to go, however, I'll really miss this series once it's over. It's rare to find a series that has a combination of good script, acting, and animation. It's even harder to find one that can actually maintain these qualities over the course of the season. So far, Mushishi writers and animators have done a good job on the series that I hope they'll be working on another interesting series after they wrapped up the production of this one.
