Simply put Ginko has the type of life that I wish to have. Its freedom in its truest form. You wouldn't understand its a Seminole thing...
The thing is since when did fast pace or slow pace matter in terms of what is boring and what isn't. I don't find fast paced things fun, or exciting. I'm a laid back person, and Mushishi reflects that.. Plus as said earlier. I wished I lived a life on the road like Ginko....
Its what kept me hooked to that show.....
BTW thats one factor I hate about anime is the cuteness. Its not entertaining to me. Mushishi is down to earth,laid back, relaxing, not being rushed, and has some very real human aspects to it. Of course what keeps you interested is the supernatural events. .. I tend to like animes like Mushishi...
Just the cuteness factor is a very very shallow thing that I see, and it doesn't attract my attention. Instead it makes me turn the channel or watch something else or just plainly turn off my television.
You see I'm not an otaku. I watch anime like I watch other tv shows. Entertainment, and really to kick back. Mushishi isn't exactly an otaku show since it doesn't have the cuteness, loser boy, (insert streotypical anime here).....
Mushishi went against that grain thus I like it better, and found it more entertaining.. That cute stuff, and other otaku stuff like anime maids, and anime nurses, and the fan service of showing boobs or other sexual references just isn't attractive to me.. If anything it makes me watch something else instead or watch nothing at all.
I'm going to start going into circles now. I don't see how you can't see how I liked Mushishi over this Suzumiya..
