A comparison between Ginko, a mushi master, and Geralt, a witcher. Ginko comes from Mushishi, the Japanese anime series and Geralt is the main protagonist of the Witcher games/books/TV series. The main sources for this video will be the Mushishi anime series for Ginko and the Witcher 3 game for Geralt, in addition to snippets from Witcher 1 and the anime film "The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf". The point of this work is to show some similarities between the two professionals dealing with mysterious forces beyond this world, but also to point out their differences as well, finally touching on some themes that I find are emphasized upon in both the Witcher and Mushishi series, which I'll use to ease you in towards the video's end.
