30 Day Anime Challenge- Day 30: An anime I wish never ended and just continued its story

The day is finally here! I did it! I managed to actually finish the 30 Day Anime Challenge in thirty consecutive days!! As much fun as this challenge was, I’m kind of glad that it’s finally over so I can finally relax! So, today’s post is about an anime that I wish would never end…

My pick for today’s prompt is an anime series that I’ve written about before during one of my Fangirl Moment posts… Since there are only two anime related FM posts, it should be obvious which one I picked. So my pick for an anime you wish never ended and just continued its story is…

Of course I went with Mushishi, it’s one of my favorite anime series and an all around great show! Okay, so contrary to what ya’ll might believe I did not pick this anime because how gorgeous Ginko is… not that I wouldn’t mind spending more time with the hottest Mushi Master to ever grace the small screen *fans self* I actually picked Mushishi for practical reasons…

I’m not really gonna go into too much detail about the plot and whatnot…if you want that check out my earlier post on the series… But, the main reason I picked show is because it’s really easy to watch. Unlike most popular series, this show isn’t bogged down by an over arching plot. The only constants in the series are the Mushi and Ginko, nothing complex or especially daunting. The show follows the same basic premise: Mushi/humans cause problems and Ginko shows up to fix the problem, but is done in such a way that you don’t realize it. The show’s stars are the mushi which exist in just about everything from the flora and fauna to the spiritual realm. While the show does a great job of showing the many ways they interact with the environment, I can’t help but feel like there are so many more stories to tell! There is just so much more that I want to know about mushi, their lore/history that I want to know more about! Not to mention the lore surrounding the “Ginko” mushi and the Tokoyami, sure the show hinted at Ginko’s eventual fate by showing us what happened to his mentor…but, I want to see it for myself!

There are just so many avenues an episodic show like Mushishi can explore that more structured series could only dream of exploiting. Plus, I love how relaxing the show is…in fact, I’m going to go watch Mushishi right now!!! If you haven’t already seen this amazing series, I highly suggest giving it a watch!!

Well that’s it, that’s my last post of the challenge! What did you think of my final choice? What would you have picked? Also, what did you think of the challenge as a whole? Let me know in the comments section! As always, THANK YOU for reading!!!
