[Poll Closed] EP Anime Club - Summer 2015
It's Voting Time!
Hello anime fans of Endless Paradigm - welcome back! Over the Summer 2015 season wee will focus on two anime series, watching and discussing the winner(s) of this poll every week. This is a multiple choice poll - pick every title you really want to watch!
New! - Wee've added Classic and Retro Classic options to this seasons poll to see if anyone is interested in watching shows from the past which are very well regarded. If either of these win wee will watch 2 episodes of the series per week.
New threads will be made every week as each episode comes out. For classic/retro classic these threads will cover two episodes at a time (1-2, 3-4, etc.)
I've selected the 10 choices available plus the two extra Classic choices as this season isn't looking as strong as the last. If you feel a worthwhile title is missing however, please let me know! Check out the full chart for Summer over at http://anichart.net/

While traversing through the forests, she meets a young boy, Zen, who helps her after she boldly cures his wounds but then gets poisoned by an apple given to Shirayuki. Meanwhile, Prince Raji sends out henchmen to search for her. What will happen to Shirayuki? What is Zen's true character?

Until the day when a cop they know on the force requests their help in taking down a new gang muscling in on the territory of a top Mafia family.

Mushishi (Classic, Adventure, Mystery, Fantasy, Historical, Slice of Life, Supernatural, Seinen) [MAL]
"Mushi": the most basic forms of life in the world. They exist without any goals or purposes aside from simply "being." They are beyond the shackles of the words "good" and "evil." Mushi can exist in countless forms and are capable of mimicking things from the natural world such as plants, diseases, and even phenomena like rainbows.
This is, however, just a vague definition of these entities that inhabit the vibrant world of Mushishi, as to even call them a form of life would be an oversimplification. Detailed information on Mushi is scarce because the majority of humans are unaware of their existence.
So what are Mushi and why do they exist? This is the question that a "Mushi-shi," Ginko, ponders constantly. Mushi-shi are those who research Mushi in hopes of understanding their place in the world's hierarchy of life.
Ginko chases rumors of occurrences that could be tied to Mushi, all for the sake of finding an answer.
It could, after all, lead to the meaning of life itself...
