ODAGIRI JOE, AOI YUU, ESUMI MAKIKO

Premiere at The 31st Hong Kong International Film Festival

Dir : Otomo Katsuhiro Japan 2007 Colour 131mins

In the otherworldy intersection of the human and the spirit worlds, the Mushi are mystical creatures detectable only by bugmasters like Ginko. who travels from village to village setting the Mushi's misdeeds right. Also involved is Tanyu, another master with a complex connection to Ginko, his silver hair, and missing eye. Eerie, magical, and visually striking....

WAAAAAHA MUSHISHI MOOOVIIEEE~~~

I LOVE the anime; one of the most surreal and unusal anime i've ever seen. It's brilliant although some people might find it a bit slow moving since it's not a continuing story like other anime (i still love it; the art/music and story line is wonderful!) I must see the movie soon *spazzes*

[Guest sWeEteSt.eTeRNiiTy]

I'm looking for the english subs but I can't find them anywhere. It looks so good though. I'm starting to watch the anime.

Some screencaps I found from designchronicle.com

Whoa! I never thought they would actually make a live-action movie for Mushishi! I really liked the anime so I hope this is good. And I can see Odagiri Jo really fitting this too.

[fatsoko]

I watched without subtitles and it was...okay. I think that if you've seen the anime, the movie's a bit of a disappointment. The CG is really nice when they use it but the storyline is pretty unoriginal. They didn't stray at all from the anime. I feel like there could have been ...more to it I guess. It just doesn't feel solid.

Overall, it was enjoyable to watch but nowhere near as much as the anime.
