The only show I haven't seen out of those is now great teacher onizuka. I would probably say that JoJo is a must watch, especially with the 4th season coming out although it is pretty long and must be fresh in people's memories. A lot of those shows I wouldn't mind re-watching but mushishi is probably the worst one that could've won for me because it's a great show but you have to be in the right mood to watch it. I do have a general policy of only re-watching shows once I own them too. I still have a dream of all of mushishi being localised on blu ray or something, in a nice collectors edition. Has everyone seen katanagatari?

[just Beamu]

Jojo seems like it would be way too long to continue sustained watching over a long period of time.

Spoiler:

EP5: Teenage relationship drama. The mushi was a cool concept but the metaphor of "a thing that can only follow others around" got way too heavy handed at the end.
Didn't realy like it

EP6: Wow. This episode didn't turn out as I expected at all. Beautiful tree and bodygrafting was rather creepy. That guy was an idiot for letting Ginko read the records though.

[just Beamu]

Spoiler:

Episode 5 was alright. Not a lot to say. She fell for the Ginko charm.
Episode 6 was a bit surprising and enjoyable. The body grafting was creepy. Also, yeah, he was an idiot to let Ginko read the records.

Spoiler:

Both these eps felt a bit more people based than "mushi be crazy yo" of most epps.

5) Man, that was one harsh shut down. Such a douche that for once the dad wasn't one.
6) I really liked this ep, I'm not really sure what to say, just it really broke the norm of what eps focus on.

[Korburss]

I've noticed that the doctor's monocle is now clearly a monocle and not something drawn on his face, possibly by children breaking into his collection.

Spoiler:

Episode 7. I liked the more ambiguous ending, it managed to be just the right amount of bittersweet without the problem wholly fixed but without being hopeless.

Episode 8. Once again the birds are beautifully done, especially the bird tornado at the end. The guy was probably the fastest to ignore a warning so far and the only person to have destroyed multiple structures with whistling that I have ever seen. Also: A doctor and a thief!

[Elthanes]

Spoiler:

Ep 7: Interesting episode about how a mushi negatively effects peoples lifes. Also rather sad.

Ep 8: Not sure what to think about this episode. But god damnit magical hobo, this is why you tell people what would happen and don't just go "something bad might happen if you do it"
Loved seeing the Doctor again, the birds are beautiful and the snake things reminded me of "Rattenfänger von Hameln" no clue how it's called in english

[Janx]

Spoiler:

7) Not too noteworthy. Was okay ep.
8) First sailing ep. Solution at the end was hilarious.

[just Beamu]

I really don't have much to say on these two.

[Historia]

Still on Mushishi? I think y'all should have started with something shorter, and perhaps more engaging...

[just Beamu]

Going by the poll the next one should be Lain. Unless we do a revote after Mushishi. Which I'm still not quite clear on.

[black1blade]

I think we should replace mushishi with another show then revote.

[just Beamu]

We're already too far to stop now.

[Korburss]

So, more episodes I can't really say much about.

Spoiler:

Episode 9. It was nice to see someone choose to live with a mostly helpful mushi, even if it will one day be his death. It was kind of odd to see a character so much larger than Ginko.

Episode 10. The close up of the tortoise managed to be pretty powerful considering how silly it was, what with the snow and grass on its back.

[Elthanes]

Spoiler:

EP 9: Interesting episode that ended completly different than I expected it to end. Also the theme seemed to be self sacrifice

EP 10: I'll be honest and say that I have no clue what this was about besides that it was pretty.

Next episodes are the OVAs, right?

[Janx]

Had a bit of a coordination snafu with Gaybeam
'

Spoiler:

9) Closest this series got to fanservice. And father wasnt an asshole. Am I still watching mushi-shi?
10) It's spring again! Very diff ep having no humans other than Ginko, was expecting him to wake up in modern day or something.

Next episodes are the OVAs, right?

Accoding to CR, yes.

[just Beamu]

Spoiler:

Episode 9 was good, but I don't have much to say about it.
I liked episode 10 better for some reason.

I may end up a bit backlogged till tuesday. My dad went and wasted all our data for the month somehow, so we're already being charged extra for anything we do till december.
