This episode had the same concept as the other episodes of Mushishi. While not as dark as the other ones, the story did again captivate me, even though it was lighter then in most of the episodes. This episode also ended wonderfully. It was nice to see a Mushishi episode like this for once.
The episode is simply about a man trying to catch a rainbow, who appears to be a mushi. I’ve found it amazing that the creators managed to put such a concept, which is mostly used in little children’s shows, into a serious storyline which actually makes sense, and even fill a whole episode with this without becoming boring. We also get some nice life lessons on the way. As someone who has followed phylosophy lessons, I’m appreciating those little things.
