Mushi-Uta English Sub & Dub

About Mushi-Uta

If you are hunting for a new action series, Mushi-Uta (ムシウタ) deserves a look (2007). The setup goes like this. In short: Mushi-uta's story takes place in the near future. Ten years before the story's opening, strange insect-like creatures known as "Mushi" began appearing.

Soon after, the Mushi are able to consume peoples' dreams and thoughts in return for supernatural gifts. At the end of episode one, protagonist Daisuke "Kakkou" Kusuriya encounters a young girl named Shiika Anmoto. The two, in time, become quite close.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Shintarou Asanuma as Daisuke Kusuriya and Kana Hanazawa as Shiika Anmoto. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Beat Frog and Studio Tulip is the studio behind Mushi-Uta, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.1/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Shintarou Asanuma as Daisuke Kusuriya, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2007, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
