Finished this while back, but couldn't think of what to write about it.
Ushi ni Negai wo 7-11! the end. Need to be in a lukewarm chicken soup mood to watch this.

( *spoilers ahead* )

Mushishi live-action movie - was pretty boring the first time I browsed through it, but was less so with subtitles. The movie's story ties together a few of the stories by linking Ginko's past with a present form of Nui and with the rainbow-chasing guy. That being said, Ginko's personality seemed more vunerable during most of the movie and contained less of the cool detachment that I was used to from the anime series. Though I think Odagiri Joe is an interesting actor, his Ginko was lacking due partially from the somewhat confusing script. I'm pretty sure that non-fans who see 'Bugmaster' will be disappointed. The trailer makes it seem more action-filled and supernatural than the movie portrays. The special effects at Tanyu's place were nice, but were less impressive elsewhere. And too much silence during the film made it hard to sit through. ~7/10 rating~ Though somewhat disappointing, I would like to read this part of the Nui storyline in the manga. Anyone know which volumes have her conclusion?wiki fails with the manga summary.
