An incredible series of fable-like stories, rich with an eerily tranquil atmosphere. Each tale is allegorical to a sickness or some difficult living situation, which makes them very easy to relate to and get invested in despite the alien nature of the Mushi. I love that the main character isn't the protagonist of most episodes, he's just a character that you know you'll see at some point. Sometimes beautiful, sometimes heatwarming, sometimes haunting, and sometimes tragic. You never know what kind of story you'll get, but you're bound to be sucked into the incredibly realised world.
