Mushishi


October 28, London's The Barbican performing arts center will hold a double billing of adaptations of Yuki Urushibara's manga Mushishi. It'll start with two episodes of Hiroshi Nagahama and Artland's 2005 anime TV series, and then show Katsuhiro Otomo's live action movie. Helen McCarthy, co-author of The Anime Encyclopedia, will introduce.

"The titular 'Mushishi' (Bug Master) character is a doctor who travels a mystical version of Japan to cure people affected by Mushi, the supernatural creatures that he is investigating."
