I probably did! It's pretty much my favorite anime series hands down. So beautiful and elegant and touching. I just love it. :) I'm glad that you're enjoying it. It is, indeed, very much like folktales and myths half forgotten. I find it infinitely re-watchable. I own the whole series. There's a live action movie out there too, but it's not nearly as beautiful and is much more erratic and confusing (and short!) than the series. I can't really recommend it unless you're just curious. But it does tell a story that the series does not about how Ginko became who he is.

And yes, do watch it with subtitles when you get the chance. I can't imagine watching it in English. Hopefully the voices are well done for a change.
