For anyone who didn't notice, every single character from the first season of Mushishi gets a cameo during the eclipse, with Adashino (The doctor that holds the lofty rank of "only other recurring character besides Ginko"*) and Tanyuu (The girl with a kanji mushi covering her body, and seals the mushi by writing.) getting actual speaking roles, and a short section of the story each! (Adashino's bit actually kicks off the special) This is just so.. so awesoume, and made watching the Special.... well special.

*Though one could argue Nui is also recurring, as she is the narrator!

Yea, so true. I was happy to see that the Bamboo wife and daughter were resurrected and how the husband is the father for those 2, sorta weird with the husband now becoming a father figure.

I bet a lot of ppl didn't catch that because they probably watched the original series a very long time ago. I did because I completed the series like a day ago.

This was a great special, going to watch the 2nd season now.

Everyone that can appear there, was there.

I went out my way to rewatch the episode and yes, it was nice to see that some of them had a 'good ending' from its previous ambiguous nature.

that slide with all the other characters, was quite surprising, I didn't expect this anime with not many recurring characters to show it, was nice, though :)

1- Some villagers?
2- More villagers?
3 - A couple? Don't know if they're related to the story.
4 - Guy and his grandma (episode 1)
5 - The girl whose Ginko gave an eye to (episode 2)
6 - Village Chief and the horns boy (episode 3)
7 - The guy from the island that had living gods (episode 6)
8 - Rainbow guy (episode 7)
9 - The guy who lost his wife at the sea (episode 8)
10 -
11 - The inkstone girl (episode 10)
12 -
13 - The bamboo forest guy (episode 14)
14 - Guy that found spring in winter and his sister (episode 15)
15 - Mother who had memory issues and her son (episode 16)
16 - The letter girl and her sister (episode 17)
17 - Artist guy and her niece (episode 18)
18 - The girl who became invisible and her husband (episode 19)
19 - The couple with the mushi kids (episode 21)
20 - The daughter who gave birth to her mother (episode 22)
21 - The rust girl and the fisherman boy (episode 23)
22 - The mushishi woman in her village (episode 24)
23 - The girl who could see because of mushi (episode 25)
24 -
25 - The guy from the nomad group (episode 26)
26 - The girl that moved with the swamp (episode 5)

So the missing episodes that make sense are 4 (the pillow guy that ended up killing himself so couldn't appear), 12 (Nui episode and she became a part of that mushi so she can't appear) and 20 (Tanyuu, that was already shown watching the whole thing before).

Couldn't figure out these three images:





and this one:



Because I'm not sure if this is the guy that was the apprentice of the mountain guy.

Anyway, it was nice to see so many characters were doing (the girl finally reunited with her sister, the couple that finally had a kid, among others).
