>They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as micro-organisms and fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as Mushi. Their existence and appearance are mostly unknown and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. Ginko is one of these select few, a Mushi-shi, who travels around to investigate the Mushi. In the process, he also lends a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurrences that may be related to the Mushi.

**Notes on subtitles:**
- **Spanish** subtitles are missing in S00E01 and the movie.
- **Japanese** subtitles for the movie are transcribed using [Whisper](https://github.com/Purfview/whisper-standalone-win). Expect inaccuracies.
- All subtitles have been checked, and, if necessary, timed to make sure at least the dialogue is in sync with the audio. For languages other than English, I don’t guarantee frame-perfect sign sync, though.
- ~95% of the fonts are included. A few fonts couldn't be identified.
### Extras
- Two S01 DVD featurettes: #1 - Interview with the Director; #2 - Production Studio Tour

## Playback
It is highly recommended to watch any AV1 release with an up-to-date media player. I personally recommend the **[mpv media player](https://thewiki.moe/tutorials/mpv)**, but [MPC-HC](https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases) or [VLC](https://www.videolan.org/vlc) also support AV1 playback.
