		<description><![CDATA[Each of the 26 episodes of Mushishi offers something of its own. With so many great episodes on offer I&#8217;ve no particular reason to settle on any one, but here goes. It&#8217;s the one where Ginko meets the girl who puts messages in cocoons.
The introduction of the messaging cocoons gives us another little detail of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s inevitably going to end up feeling odd when a show plays tiddlywinks with its own chronology. Of course, as a returning Haruhi watcher, I don&#8217;t feel the disorientation. Where the episode ordering affects me is the absence of the memory of a prime period in the series. There are stories, there are arcs, there [...]]]></description>

Of course this summative approach rather misses out on much of the experience of watching a show. It puts the emphasis on that final thought-out analysis, despite much of the fun [...]]]></description>

The more I indulge in anime the more &#8220;anime&#8221; as a thing becomes important to me. Part of this is the ever-increasing store of memories, a sense of nostalgia lurking behind each new [...]]]></description>

Golfing wizards, 8-bit sidetracks, piss-take episodes - they kept me happy. But it&#8217;s a narrative medium, and Druaga should be judged as a story, not as a procession of [...]]]></description>
