Anime review: Mushishi

This anime is a classic. It's about a man named Ginko who travels around as a 'mushi-shi' an expert on things called mushi. These mushi are different lifeforms than animals and bugs that not everyone can see. These mushi make weird things happen when they interact with humans, from making hearing loss to making backwards rainbows to making you die every day and wake up alive the next. Ginko then goes around and helps cure people of this weird phenomenon.
This anime is based in ancient Japan, which is what appeals to me the most. I don't know what it is about anime in ancient Japan (Princess Mononoke, Samaria X etc) but to me it makes it much more enjoyable.
Also another nice thing is that none of the episodes are connected. If you get the jest of whats going on you can watch this anime in any order and still be able to know exactly whats happening. 
This is a must watch if you call yourself a fan of anime and i would highly recommended it.
I'll give it a 9/10
