So what are Mushi and why do they exist? This is the question that a "Mushishi," Ginko, ponders constantly. Mushishi are those who research Mushi in hopes of understanding their place in the world's hierarchy of life.
Ginko chases rumors of occurrences that could be tied to Mushi, all for the sake of finding an answer.
It could, after all, lead to the meaning of life itself. | TV | 26 | Avex Entertainment, Marvelous, SKY Perfect Well Think, Delfi Sound | Funimation | Artland | Manga | PG-13 - Teens 13 or older | 62 | 211 | 25,961 | 268235 | 793,935 | |

However, as she works alongside veteran Enforcer Shinya Kougami, she soon learns that the Sibyl System's judgments are not as perfect as her fellow Inspectors assume. With everything she has known turned on its head, Akane wrestles with the question of what justice truly is, and whether it can be upheld through the use of a system that may already be corrupt. | TV | 22 | Dentsu, Fuji TV, Nitroplus, Sony Music Entertainment, TOHO animation, Kyoraku Industrial Holdings | Funimation | Production I.G | Original | R - 17+ (violence & profanity) | 211 | 60 | 37,749 | 757398 | 1,568,535 | |

As punishment, and also in order to aid him in self-reflection, Seishuu's father exiles him to the Goto Islands, far from the comfortable Tokyo lifestyle the temperamental artist is used to. Now thrown into a rural setting, Seishuu must attempt to find new inspiration and develop his own unique art style—that is, if boisterous children (headed by the frisky Naru Kotoishi), fujoshi middle schoolers, and energetic old men stop barging into his house! The newest addition to the intimate and quirky Goto community only wants to get some work done, but the islands are far from the peaceful countryside he signed up for. Thanks to his wacky neighbors who are entirely incapable of minding their own business, the arrogant calligrapher learns so much more than he ever hoped to. | TV | 12 | VAP, Nippon Television Network | Funimation | Kinema Citrus | Web manga | PG-13 - Teens 13 or older | 187 | 298 | 12,576 | 328337 | 638,276 |
