Mushi-Shi — S01E05 — The Traveling Swamp

00:00:41 And I miss

00:04:11 Even her health is suffering because of it.

00:04:59 There are mushi that live in still ponds called Mizukagami, or "Water Mirror" mushi.

00:05:34 Once that happens,

00:06:08 If the original shows the Mizukagami its own reflection in a mirror at the instant of its transition,

00:08:31 but I've got to provide for myself somehow, you know?

00:08:54 I'd prefer someone who's got a gentler disposition.

00:16:02 Um... I have to go to the restroom.

00:18:30 Am I...

00:19:41 Not another word, you foolish girl!

00:20:09 Who'd have thought?

00:20:37 Where did you grow up?

00:20:52 When will you ever learn?
