Short Summary:
When Shiika arrives at the appartment Rina is already gone. Instead the strange woman, who had seemed to give a mushi to Asami, explaines she’s one of the original three – the Voracious Eater. Shiika gets rescued by Minmin who’s not a spy at all, but loves Haji Keigo and wants to bring him Fuyuhotaru. In a fight Minmin’s mushi gets killed by Shiika. But in the end she’s injured/she dies, too.
Meanwhile Rina is at GARDEN and meets Kaji. She gets to know mushi were created by humans that want to rule over all the hosts that have lost their dreams. Rina is shocked and has to fight against hundreds and thousands SEPB hosts plus mushis, but when she gets the chance to kill Haji her powers have gone and her mushi Nanahoshi wins. She truns into a big monster and destroyes half the city till Kakkou appears. Though he’s about to turn into a monster himself he wants to save Rina. But then the Voracious Eater appears.
My opinion:
Okay, this is getting a bit crazy now. I hope there’s a possibility for Rina to turn back, also for Kakkou. The Voracious Eater must be destroyed, still what about the other two original hosts?

Short Summary:
Daisuke finally knows Fuyuhotaru and Shiika are one and the same person. It seems Haji did know about this and not it’s Daisuke’s/Kakkou’s job to catch Rina/Ladybird. Rina feels depressed about her unhappy love and even Shiika wnats to leave her, but she begs her to stay. The next evening Rina’s spy appears and tells her the truth about the Fallen and how to get into GARDEN. So Rina introduces Shiika to her mushibane friends and leaves to draw Daisuke before she goes to GARDEN. Kakkou revelas his identity and begs Rina not to go there, as it is more important to live on to fulfill dreams instead of dying for their sake. Rina gets angry and tries to kill Daiskue, but she can’t do it. Though he warned her this night she takes the train to GARDEN.
My opinion:
This is a complicated situation now, I WANT to know what’s goint to happen next, but on the other hand I’m afraid Rina might die, and ,damn, she’s my favourite character in an anime show for years. She’s strong and weak at once and she fights for her dreams. What could be more admirable?

Short Summary:
C freed Daisuke from the video camera while Asami has disappeared and Rina is upset she wasn’t able to save a friend again. She asks Shiika to stay by her side forever, because they both share the same dream of having a place where they belong. Rina feels comfortable with Shiika around her and her mood gets a bit better. The following weekend she wants to concentrate on drawing so she encourages Shiika to meet with her boyfriend. Not knowing Daisuke is Shiika’s love Rina meets him at school and asks him to model for her in the future. He agrees and tells her he’s going to leave for the planetarium (where he meets Shiika). The lovers are happy to meet each other again and decide to spend christmas together. They talk about their dreams and have to discover both knew a person having the same dream (because they already met as Fuyuhotaru and Kakkou). In the end Rina appears at the planetarium and hopes to see Daisuke, she didn’t expect to discover he is Shiika’s boyfriend. Rina starts to cry and runs away, Shiika comes after her. While they are running, their mushis appear and Daisuke realizes Rina is ladybird and Shiika Fuyuhotaru. also Rina finally gets to know the true identity of her roommate.
My opinion:
I guess what I like most about this show is the great mixture between seeing the lifes of some young people with super powers and their true feelings about it in their normal life. Yes, they have normal lifes with school, friendship and love. Love is showed as a fragile flower that starts to bloom in an hostile environment where just a little wind blow can destroy it. Finally the identities of the main characters are revealed and I’m anxious to see how Daisuke is going to react now.

But C can help to get them out of the computer, only Kakkou has to stay and the next day Kasuo returns to school. While Asami’s in the classroom she destroyes the camera. Asami’s eyes fade out, she’s now a Fallen and Kakkou seems lost.
My opinion:
I can’t put into words how much I hate the ending of this episode!

Short Summary:
The blond haired girl from last time is called Kasuo-san, she came along with two other hunters from headquarters to capture Fuyuhotaru. Also it seems Kasuo wants to beat Kakkou more than anything else, because Haji promised her to save her if she becomes the strongest of all.
Asami is still browsing through her videos and identifies Shiika to be ahost as well, so she visits her to talk and reveal she’s now a owner of a mushi herself. Asami gets scared she might be caught and runs off to delete her homepage, but before Shiika has to promise she won’t tell Rina about her friend’s mushi.
So Rina goes on living her life without knowing one of her best friends is in danger. Instead she enjoys having a crush on Daisuke-kun who tells her to him she Rina resembles his sister, he hasn’t seen for quite a while.
We get to know Haji’s got a hospitalized sister who owns a mushi. Somehow the bug’s eating his dreams instead of hers, so Haji gets his dreams recorded on tape, so he won’t forget them and can live on.
In the end he gives Kasuo the order to find Asami, Rina gets informed by Minmin Asami’s in danger, so she runs to school to help her. The same second Asami’s in one of her videos and stares at a picture of the Mushibane leader – Ladybug aka Rina.
My opinion:
Mushiuta might be my favourite show of the last year. Since my last entry about it in octobre, I watched some episodes ahead, got a backlog and never came to the end, because I didn’t want to blog about six episodes at once. So I decided to rewatch all episodes I’ve already seen after the sixth and finally finish it.
Though it’s been such a long time I was back in the story immediatly, and still what touches me the most is the music and my love for Rina. I can’t see a happy ending for her with Daisuke and the Mushibane and that makes me so sad!!!

Short Summary:
Asami is late at school working for her club and updating her mushitsuki homepage, when her teacher appears. She’s asked for her dream and when the teacher touches her neck it seems Asami gets infected with a mushi herself.
The next day Rina oversleeps and when she wakes up Shiika has preapred a rather scary kind of breakfast. She finds out Rina attends the same high school as Daisuke and wants to come with her, but as it is better nobody sees her she stays at home. Still Shiika would love to go, so Rina takes her there in the afternoon and together with Rina’s friends they pretend to have class. Afterwards they go to a karaoke club and suddenly Shiika wants to contact Daisuke. She calls him and they promise to meet, she feels better then.
Both Rina, who’s drawing a picture, and Daisuke who’s looking for a ghost everybody tells rumours about, are lat at school. So is Asami who discovers her new ability to switch into the video films she’s taken with her camera. It’s astrange world within her camera with lots of pictures, bits and bytes.
The next morning Daisuke is absent froms chool so Rina visits him after class to see wether he’s okay. Daisuke has to think of his big sister because Rina resembles her. It’s obvious now Rina has fallen in love with Daisuke and late at night in bed she tells Shiika she’s found something besides sunsets she wants to draw.
In the last scene we see a blond haired girl/boy (?) on a high building who says: “I’m back Ouka-City!”
My opinion:
Can it be Rina’s class teacher is the strange woman from before or is she just another strange woman infecting people with mushis? Also Asami’s power to cruise her videos is strange, how different the mushitsukis’ abilities are.
I already feel sorry for Rina who’s by far my favourite character and has fallen in love with Daisuke who’s heart belongs to Shiika. In her eyes it’s love that keeps a host from being a monster, so what happens if she discovers her feelings are unanswered?

Short Summary:
Shiika awakes on Rina’s sofa. It seems she helped the Mushibane the other days and is now staying at lady’s apartement. Together they eat breakfast and Rina is astonished how happily Shiika can smile, although she’s a host. She takes her new housemate to the her mother’s grave and tells Shiika about her past. When Rika was a small child her father used to be gentle to her mother in public, but at home he only beat her up and Rina was in her room without a TV or anything and all she could do was drawing pictures of what she could see outside the window. She planned to kill her father and after her mother had died because of an illness she was afraid her father might get at her now. But she met the same strange woman like Shiika and became a host. The first thing she tried to do was to kill her father, but he managed to survive. Now she wants to use her powers to save all the Fallens and fight the SEPB together with Fuyuhotaru.
Afterwards the two go shopping for new clothes and back at home in the evening Rina recognizes Shiika’s got a phone number and offers her to use her cell phone, but Shiika refuses to use it. Rina tells her she should not hold back her feelings because she’s a host. If there’s no love mushitsuki would really only be monsters. Still Shiika does not call Daisuke, instead she’s taking a bath with Rina, who’s crying secretly.
This night Shiika nd Rina share a bed, but Rina leaves it after some time to meet Minmin on the balcony. The traitor tells her about her fight with Kakkou and that she won’t be able to bring her good information anymore. Than she jumps of into the dark.
The next day Daisuke is late for school and falls down in front of his classmates. Rina watches him, turns pink and thinks something like “there’s still something I have to do”, so it seems she’s got crush on him, but wants to concentrate on her leadership of the Mushibane first. The younger members of the group are afraid they might turn into a monster like Centi in the future and Rina tells them that’s certainly not going to happen if they hold on to their dreams, but she knows that’s not true.
Meanwhile Shiika is at home watching TV, thinking of Daisuke while Daisuke thinks of her. In the evening Daisuke meets Haji and sees a picture of the little girl who’s mushi he had killed in the park. Haji makes a comment she looks a bit like her…Fuyuhotaru, Kakkou turned into a Fallen four years agao, and not only her: Daiskue starts to remember his first mission for the SEPB. He was supposed to capture Fuyuhotaru, but then the plans were changed and he had to turn a lot of SEPB members into Fallens. Afterwards he refuses to capture the girl, he does not want to hurt anymore people, but he’s the only one left to capture her so he slowly moves into her direction. It’s snowing now and finally he finds the green haired girl down on their knees. They like each other from the beginning and he wants to ran off with her, but she’s tired of hurting other people as well (she has maybe killed those office memebers that had came to capture her) and offers Kakkou her dream, so he shoots her mushi.
Rina is back in the bed and Shiika wonders wether it’s going to snow and tells Rina she’s remebering a boy from long ago, but does not tell her the name. Rina starts to tickle her and outside it starts to rain, not snow. At school Asami – one of Rina’s classmates, who’strying to find out everything about mushi – watches a video on her computer which seems to be a shoot of the events at the seaside park and looks shocked at the display.
My opinion:
This was again a slowpace episode, which does not mean it’s been boring, not at all. The character constellations get more complicated. That rises again the drama potential for the identity revelation party. I was shocked by Rina’s story, that of all things the person who tries to save others all the time tried to kill her father once. I wonder why Daisuke does not recognize Shiika is Fuyuhotaru, she did not change that much in the four years and it seems she’s not only one of hundreds he has turned into a Fallen, but she’s been special to him from the beginning.
I feel like Minmin, who did not play such a big role so far might get important in the future and I feel like she will be killed. Why did Rina cry in the bathroom and WHY does she not recognize Shiika is the girl Daiskue ran off with in episode two…or does she recognize???? And is she really in love with Daisuke or do I mistake it?

Short Summary:
Haji is Branch chief of the Eastern Central branch of the SEPB. His goal is to find the three mushi hosts who started everything and then get rid of all the other hosts so Japan comes back to peace. Kakkou is ordered only to kill the mushis, but not harm their hosts, although they are Fallens after their mushi has been killed, which means they are like dead. So much about the background story ( I have to write it down to rember and understand it all myself).
Centi wanders around in the park while his mind is trapped in astrange fanatsy world, which consist of clocks and mushis. In the meantime lady bird an Kakkou meet and she accuses him of having crushed the little girls dreams and futures. Kakkou ansewrs her weakness is the reason why lady can’t save anyone. She’s getting angry and swears to kill Kakkou, but the whole situation is an ambush and many SEPB mushis appear. The situation seems hopeless for Rina, but suddenly Centi and his mushi come out of the ground to save her.
Shiika and one of the younger boys of the Mushibane have met and wonder around in the park together till they meet Haji’s assistant who shows them the way to the east exit, of course that’s also an ambush. The two are clever enough to be careful and hide.
While the rest of the Mushibane try to escape Kakkou has to find out his colleague Minmin is a traitor and exchanges information with the Mushibane. They have a fight and Minmin flees. But the Mushibane around lady can’t escaped. They get caught by spider mushis and Haji turns up to have a profound conversation with lady. When he tries to touch lady Centi goes bersekr and his mushi starts to devour his dream, which means it mutates and Centi is going to be killed. Kakkou tries to kill his mushi and asks lady for help. First she refuses, because Centi will become a Fallen, when his mushi is killed, but in the and she agrees as Kakkou convinces her there will be a way to bring him back from being a Fallen. The most important thing is he stays alive. So lady does as she’s supposed to do and kills his mushi, there’s some time left before it’s finally dead and Rina and Centi walk away together. They speak of the time when they founded the mushibane and Centi remebers how Rina gave him a kind of home and it seems he loves her. Then it’s over, he has become a Fallen and Rina cries desperately.
In the end Shiika and the young boy see the SEPB forces run and the boy guesses they are hunting lady and the others, so he runs of the save them. Shiika recognizes he is a mushitsuki and wonders what she should do now. Finally her own mushi appears.
My opinion:
This must have been the longest summary I’ve ever written, but I’m so sucked in by this show that I don’t want to miss or forget anything. It’s been a suprise Minmin is a traitor, but I should have recognized, as the Mushibane knew where Fuyuhotaru would be the next day. I wonder wether Daisuke knows who Shiika is or not.
Haji was introduced properly this episode and he’s one of the Gendou Ikari type of characters, you just have to hate him. Is he really a relative or even the father of Shiika or did his assistant get the totally wrong idea?
I love the way Rina acts when she is lady bird. She tries desperatley to be strong, but she’s so human and emotional, she might be my favourite character so far. I also got to like Centi, it’s a pity he’s a Fallen now and I hope he will come back soon.

Short Summary:
At school Daisuke can only think of Shiika and leaves early to meet her at the seaside park. Lina meets up with her Mushibane members and tells them a girl called “Fuyuhotaru” who’s said to have escaped from GARDEN and even returned from being a Fallen will be at the seaside park today. They want to find her and convince her to be their ally. They are talking of no one else then Shiika. When the other members have left Centi asks Lina wether he is alloed to find “Fuyuhotaru”. He wants to make up for his mistake in the last fight, but Lina does not give him the allowance, she’s going herself and needs him to protect her. She leaves and suddenly Centiu’s mushi appears. The strange thing is its eyes are red and it doesn’t follow Centi’s orders. Then it’s gone again.
Daisuke and Shiika spend a nice time at the park together, till the Special Environmental Conservation Executive Office appears and evacuates the park. They are here to catch Shiika and “lady bird”. People start to leave the park when suddenly a little girl appears to be a mushitsuki. Her mushi, like Centi’s mushi which isn’tt aking orders anymore, has also got red eyes and attacks the little girl’s mother and sister. The Executive Office decides to catch that girl first, so Lina tries to save her, but the girl runs away to find her mother and meets Daisuke, who’s now Kakkou. He treats her gently, but in the end he shoots the little girls mushi and she collapses.
My opinion:
Thi episode has been awesome. Are we really only at episode three, it already feels like the final arc of the show, though I don’t understand what mushi, GARDEN and Fallens are.
If I get it right not only the Mushibane are mushi owner, but those who hunt them as well??! What will happen to Shiika and when will Daisuke and Lina discover the others true identity? Questions over questions, ladies and gentlemen ^^

Short Summary:
Daisuke jumps and somehow he makes it in time before the train comes. He’s watched by some girls from his class including Lina. Before he’s catched by a railstation worker he grabs the green haired girl’s hand and together they ran off to a nearby park. Daisuke apologizes for his sudden action although they don’t know each other and asks her out for this afternoon. The girl called Shiika agrees and the two meet after school and enjoy a happy time together. As Shiika does not own a cell phone he gives her his number and promises to be there for her, whenever she calls. Then the two part and Shiika goes home. She comes there for the first time after many years and finds it deserted. Everything looks like it has done before, there’s even a message by her sister to welcome her back, but her family is gone. Shiika starts to remeber her past, she always felt alone and unwanted by her parents, the only loving her was hert sister. One day she met a mysterious woman asking for her dream, then it seems she got posessed by a mushi. One day she sees a girl almost being killed on the street by a forthcoming truck and uses her mushi power to save that girl. But people started to scream she’s a monster and her parents call someone to take her away. With all these memories in her mind Shiika cries and calls Daisuke, wether it’s okay to meet again tomorrow at aseaside park. Daisuke agrees. Their conversation is overheard by one of Daisuke’s femal hunter colleagues and she seems to be very inetrested.
My opinion:
Wow, I feel like I already love this show. veerything is so perfect for me: characters story, the pace and especially the music, which touches me so much.
So it seems neither Daisuke nor Shiika remember each other, it’s still interesting they reacted on each other in such a way. I feel affirmed some drama might come up when the two discover who the other one is. I wonder wether the show will continue with this soft tone or wether we’ll come back to the action of the first episode.
