这是一部让我觉得安心的动画，每个故事独立成篇，讲述了虫师银古行走于日本相间的所见所闻。
虫，是本动画中虚构出来的一种生物，它们没有被任何科学所证实，无声无息地存在于自然之中。每一个故事都是围绕一种虫展开，虫师银古是一个驱虫者，当虫给村民们带来困扰，他就驱逐它们。
每一个故事都看似波澜不惊，而其中那股安静的力量总足以让人泪目。讲诉着平凡的爱情、亲情、友情，以及人类的狭隘、偏执、自私，还有人本性中的善良。这些故事都是白描的手法，没有在歌颂什么，也没有在批判什么；并不是一切爱情都有结果，并不是一切亲情都没有隔阂，并不是一切执念都能开花结果，并不是不想承受就可以摆脱宿命。这些故事让我们明白人类的存在是多么渺小，而无声的自然是多么富足和宽容。
《虫师》能够打动我就在于这种真实，尤其是在所有的影视作品都将生活艺术化得毫无生活本身的痕迹时，不真实的声色犬马总是易叫人沉醉，而《虫师》就像宣纸上晕开的墨迹一样，带我回到纯净的单色世界。世界终究是平静的 ，人生终究是平常的。
人在破坏大自然进而追名逐利的泥潭中越陷越深，变得只会索取和消费而不会节制和创造。人性的贪婪和自私在工业化进程中不断被放大，征服与统治代替了守护和敬畏。如《虫师》中所说，自然是“静止不动的，但是它们却不是什么都不会做。”暴戾的人类最终要为自己的所作所为付出代价。
《虫师》让人能够平静反观自然，反观自身，拨开浑浊的雾霾遮蔽的人性，还能看到如天上银河一般闪耀的光点。
我一直为日本文化中那种唯美和隐忍甚至压抑的气息吸引，同为东方国家，好像他们总是比我们更懂得东方文化中的那份静默和内敛。
最后以《虫师 续章》的OP作结吧

We broken
Everything that was right
We both enjoyed a good fight
And we solved
All the holes we had to breathe
To make the other one leave
And I loved the way you looked at me
And I miss the way you made me feel
When we were alone
When we were alone
And I'll shiver like I used to
And I'll leave him just for you
And I'll shiver like I used to
Just for you
And we stole
Every moment we had to make the other one feel bad
And we hoped that we could be what we knew
We'd never turn out to be real
And I loved the way you looked at me
And I miss the way you made me feel
When we were alone
When we were alone
And I'll shiver like I used to
And I'll leave him just for you
And I'll shiver like I used to
Just for you
And if we turn back time
Could we learn to live right
And if we turn back time
Could we learn to live right
And if we turn back time
Could we learn to live right
And if we turn back time
Could we learn
And I'll shiver like I used to
And I'll leave him just for you
And I'll shiver like I used to
Just for you
