Indeed, it's a joy to watch this show again, especially since this particular special concentrates just about everything I liked about the original while basically fixing the minor problems that kept my enjoyment from being perfect. I'm going to credit that in part to the ever-tenacious Hiroshi Nagahama, who was also responsible for getting The Flowers of Evil animated against all odds, and seems to have made a bit of a pet project out of this show as well. I thought that the first Mushi-Shi anime was an absolutely lovely and beautiful series, and unsurprisingly, I was excited to see that the adaptation was getting a revival. It becomes apparent to Ginko that Hiyori knows where to find a flower that could stop the eclipse, but she, now finally being able to wander about, is reluctant to help him. The secret seems to be connected to a set of twin girls who live nearby, one of whom, Hiyori, who is pale and in poor health, has spent her life indoors as a result of an apparent mushi infestation that makes her wilt under the sun's rays. The mushi-shi Ginko must come and determine how to return the sun to the village before their crops die. When an eclipse occurs, the sun remains dark in only one area, and the involvement of mushi is suspected. This special was animated by most of the same team that created the original Mushi-Shi TV series, and it adapts a later chapter. Notes: Based on the manga by Yuki Urushibara.
