how's Ginko allowed to loiter all around Japan without the

He's not doing anything wrong, why would they arrest him?

>>146768020
he's not a retainer of any feudal lord, therefore his movements are restricted

>>146767909
Are you sure Mushishi isn't set post Edo period?

The series is post edo, in the Bakumatsu period. His coat would imply as much as well, even if it's a reference to the original, intended setting.

Ginko is the Shogun of my heart.

Pretty sure the Mushishi have all kinds of special privileges. Do we ever see any kind of political power in the anime?

I didn't get Mushihsi. Le mysterious white haired specialist walks around Japan. Really boring he didn't even have any powers the man just talked and talked and kept talking to some random shitters about his imaginary friends

>>146768121
there's that one lord in charge of the mountain in the episode introducing wanderers who search for mushi

>>146768073
It seems to be set after the Edo period, but without the level of industrialization and foreign influence that should exist.

>>146768173
Not exactly politics but I guess it's something.

>>146768191
It's a fictional post-Edo, where the country is still isolated.

>>146768191
>without the level of industrialization and foreign influence that should exist
I doubt it was all that common in rural areas. I don't remember any big cities in Mushishi.

>he thinks Mushishi is set in the past

>>146768223
there's two towns I think, one with the seer, one with the canals

>>146767909
Stupid sexy ginko

>>146768223
While there were no big cities, there were multiple episodes that had money in them (coins to be specific), which means there must be a central governing authority for said money.

>>146768167
It's basically an anthology of detective stories with a supernatural bent. The stories are usually dramas which examine human nature.

>>146768223
Well, the Boshin war should be going on with foreign influence on both sides via weaponry, clothing and so forth. It should atleast make an appearance were the nation in Mushishi not isolated.

What was that setting?

Something more modern. If you look extremely closely, you can see that Ginko is in fact wearing Western clothing, instead of what you would expect, Japanese clothing.

>>146768407
he was wearing a yukata back in his childhood

>>146768372
Mushishi was supposed to be contemporary but the artist changed her mind at the last second, so the design for Ginko stuck.

I personally would not mind seeing a sequel or a spin-off that takes place in the present Japan. That would actually be dope.

Myeah, there's enough contemporary exorcism anime out there. I'd rather more mushishi as it is.

mononoke > mushishit

>>146768544
The Mononoke anime is shit though. At least Mushishi got a great adaptation.

I wish Bakemonogatari was about Araragi and bat going around excorcising things instead of Araragi trying to live an ordinary life, running into things and then jobbing terribly.

>>146768598
Meme Oshino is that universe's Ginko

Araragi is one of the villagers cursed by mushi

The Mononoke anime is sublime and also the source material for the manga (or more accurately, the Bakeneko arc of Ayakashi is).

That said, I am a huge fan of both series and wouldn't put one down in favour of the other.

The exorcists are the best part of the series.

What Shogunate?
Mushishi is clearly set sometime after the opening of the ports, as Ginko is clearly wearing western clothing, which puts it at late Tokugawa or early Meiji.

>>146769160
>it's a crazy person tries to kill ginko episode

>>146768598
I wish we'd actually get a Kaiki end, with Araragi following Kaiki around Japan trying to scam people out of their money

>>146768598
>no series following Kaiki, Meme, Gaen, and that whole exorcist crew doing exorcist things in college

Has potential to be cool

>>146769324
Is the Bakemonogatari series not over yet?

>>146768407
>he dont know that 18th century Jap have cities trading to Europeans coming from Flipland, Goa, Dutch East Indies, etc. and he probably got his clothing trading with a Portuguese salesman from Nagasaki

It wasnt really "modern" but no

>>146768598

So you want it to be Supernatural: the animation, loli edition. Nah, fuck off.

A kaiki spinoff would be based though.

No, I want it to be Arararagi goes exorcising. Maybe Monkey as a sidekick and lots more of the four exorcists.
