| Anime Summary / Synopsis: Some time in the future, strange mechanical insect-like creatures called Mushi (Japanese for bugs) have started appearing in the cities. They prey particularly on young children and are said to have the ability to consume their dreams and thoughts. Children ‘infected’ with the Mushi are called Hosts. In return for their dreams, the Mushi grant them powers. But eventually when the children lose their dreams, the Mushi fully matures, killing the Host in the process. The Mushi are generally feared by the public, and even Hosts are treated like outcasts. A band of Hosts have organized a group called Mushibane in order to create a place where they don’t have to live in fear all the time. They are led by a strong willed female leader named “Ladybird.” The main protagonist, Daisuke “Kakko” Kusuriya, is a Host and also operative of the SECEO, a military-like organization whose goal is to locate Hosts and destroy the Mushi. Although Kakko is the top operative of SECEO, he is haunted by the event of his first mission where he had to kill a young girl’s Mushi. When a Host’s Mushi is killed, he become a Fallen, a shell of a person who is devoid of emotion or will. It is now ten years later, and Kakkou has been assigned to a high school where the SECEO suspects Ladybird is a student of. But on his way to school, Kakkou comes face to face with the girl he met on his first mission. Mushi-Uta anime screenshots:
