    Storyline

    Edit
    They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as "Mushi". Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. Ginko is a "Mushi-shi" who travels around to investigate and find out more about the "Mushi". In the process, he also lends a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurrences which may be related to the "Mushi". —Anime News Network

    Ginko solves problems but a bad anime isn't one of them
    Mushishi is does not have a linear plot, but I find that great as each episode holds a new wonder. Some of with are horrifying and others end up good. It feels very naturey but has sort of a paranormal spin to it ending up with the this. The anime is interesting and unique and I'd recommend it.
