You SO have to. :O That is, if you like slice-of-life supernatural semi-horror but very zen and quiet anime. Also, Ginko is love. I'm said to see the tea cabinetwooden backpack gone, though.
It's not about bugs, either. The Mushi are bug-like, but they're more akin to the Kodama from Princess Mononoke expect that they tend to do bug-like things like infest people in weird ways. @_@
I get a better sense of nature and of kami from reading Mushishi than from any manga or novel I've yet read. I grew up in the woods myself, so it made me very happy to get one view of the Big Dark Woods of the Japanese psyche and begin to finally get a sense of place and connection to the countryside.
I had no idea either! And now I look, I see Katsuhiro Otomo is directing! And, well, hellllo; that is Joe Odagiri. He proved he could actually act, In Scrap Heaven last year... *purrs....
OMG I'm LOVING what I'm seeing! Of course you can't judge a movie based on stills but still! XD I hope the movie manages to capture the supernatural tension in the anime.

Damn, I wasn't aware there was going to be a live action movie at all. Now my realistic portrait of Ginko will be for naught! XD
