#Mushi-shi

[sandflakedraws]

woohoooo the time has come - i can now post the piece i did for Interlude, a Mushishi seasons zine

[jewishdragon]

Mushishi (the anime) really asked "do you want to experience The Horrors(TM) while you are rendered immobilized by the stunning visuals and calm atmosphere of the human condition in a fantasy rural japan?" and did not wait for answer

I love how Mushi-shi (the anime) depicts chronic illness through the paranormal and abstract. Ginko is literally a medicine man, and his clientele are closer to suffering an affliction than experiencing a haunting. He doesn't "exorcise the demons through prayer;" he treats the condition the person is suffering from, which often involves removing the mushi, but sometimes they need to be lived with, and sometimes even a successful treatment can leave lasting damage from the time the mushi resided in the person's body. It's the best depiction of chronic illness I've seen portrayed through an abstract lense. I'm not even learning anything about myself or my life by watching it; I just understand and appreciate each case the show portrays. Part of what sets it apart is that Mushi-shi is very good at depicting the emotional toll of chronic illness without moralizing it. Sometimes chronically ill people die of depression from their conditions, sometimes after you're cured you miss or take joy in certain elements of the disease, having a friend play with you in quarantine is invaluable for your spirit but comes at the deadly risk of contagion. I'm only 4 episodes in but it's really resonating with me. Teenage chronically ill me definitely couldn't handle this show, but 25 year old me loves it.
