This series is nothing but quality. Writting and animation, we have the makings of a classic. You said what I've been thinking. Great story. I hope there is more like this one. |
| My favorite part of this episode was the scene where Tsubame & Natsume held hands. It was just so cute and sweet. :) |
 ~Heart & Thoughts With Japan~ |
| Beautiful episode, this series is something special. |
| Wow this was such a beautiful episode. I felt just like Natsume and slowly grew attached to Tsubame. The holding hands and hug brought a small smile to my face ^^ Also got teary eyed when the picture was shown. Definitely the best episode by far. |
| Couldn't help but feel sad for Natsume toward the end there. Bit of a bittersweet episode. |
| Nice ep. Liked this a lot. |
| Osu! <img src="http://osu.ppy.sh/stat2/Thunderwolf1989-2.png" border="0" />  |
| This was my third or fourth time re-watching this episode, and I still cried all the way through the last five minutes. I am such a sentimental fool. =) This is one of my favorite single episodes of anime ever created. |
 |
| Best episode ever. I can’t be happier. It was extraordinary; touching and left an “inner peace” aftertaste. I couldn’t contain my tears, I felt constantly moved by the pure friendship Natsume found in Tsubame, he really got attached to her. Her content smile made Natsume cry, and I shed tears with him. |

I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| The episodes just keep getting better and better :) That was really touching. I hope Natsume can find someone with whom he can share more memorable moments with, but I guess that´s his sensei since he kinda implied that he was ready to become attatched to him ^.^ |

| What a beautiful episode! |
 |
| Another sentimental episode. I didn't shed a tear but I smiled for the happiness it brings. Truly splendid!! Nyanko-sensei is obviously attached to Natsume. xD |
| I love this episode so much, I've seen it like 10 times already but it never fails me to give off that beautiful atmosphere <3 I can't even begin to describe how amazing this episode was, I always feel so sad but also kinda happy at the end... <3 |
| tsubame.. so pretty without mask ^^ |
 |
| So sweet and touching, couldn't be any better. |
| bwaaah this series makes wanna be a better person!! xD Now seriously, great ending there, what a warm feeling this episode left (like all the others). And what a great concept of how demons are created! |
 |
| Yet another beautiful episode. I'm loving this series (: |

I think the picture implies that Tsubame is blind. She can sense people but she can't see visually. Coincides with the fact that baby swallows are blind. idk that's how I interpreted Natsume's tears; it moved him because she was trying so hard to meet someone she can't see. Also Natsume had the character '目' (Kanji for eye) drawn on him during the competition. |

| Another beautiful episode. Now I feel driven to watch all three earlier seasons before I pick up current season four... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| My favorite episode so far. It's so lovely that there are demons who don't grow hate towards people. |
  |
| Tsubame-chan was lovely. |

| I officially love this show. Sad that it's taken me so long to watch. |
| This is a very heart warming and also a very beautiful episode, i feel like crying.. T_T |
| That was a very sweet episode. I love the uniqueness in this series <3 |
| Best episode of the series yet. That was some really good stuff. |
 |
| good episode, nice and heartwarming, shame theres onlu 13 episodes |
| "one truth preveils" never was a bigger lie told in all of manga-land... |
| Finally understand from the reviews saying this anime gets better by each episode. Best ep thus far. Tsubame is seen to be so happy and peaceful at the last scene :,) |
| best episode so far loved it, it was perfect 5/5 |
 |
| Almost sympathy cried when Natsume cried. |
~ El Psy Congroo~  |
| fml :,c so good. |
 |
| Best episode so far..my tears *drop* at the end 5/5 also that Ending song really relax me. |
 |
| Wow that was the best episode. I really cant get enough of this anime. It is so heartfelt and moving and beautiful and touching. Compared to other more over-the-top manipulative "tear-jerkers" (*cough*Anohana*cough*) this show's tears is completely earned and completely genuine. I love it so much, it makes me tear up just thinking about it <3 |

Now i understand why Tsubame sensed people by using the smell and in the photo she had her eyes closed.. anyway, this was the best episode so far. So many onion-cutting Ninjas... T_T |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Well it was nice and all but why are they making a big deal out of it just because she resembles a human? Also, why does she resemble a human in the first place? I was under the impression that she was a bird or something along those lines.. I can guess that they did it because this way the episode sells a bit more. Best part about this show IMO? The relationship between Madara and Natsume. Especially Madara since he says the things I'm thinking ^^. Like he did in this episode after the bird-girl told them her personal story and he said "Boring." |
| Dem feels T-T |
 |
| ugh for a second there i was worried that natsume we developing a crush no tsubame... NATSUME'S MINE T___T i still would like to see tanuma though... i was hoping he'd become a major character :/ |

| This anime has become one of my favorites. Such a sweet and pleasant series. |
