The first epiosde is not bad, I like the story, and the animation is nice. Hopefully, it will keep me interested more. Reiko was awesome.

I liked this anime it was nice and the animation was good. Didn't care much for the ending theme though but I did like the opening. There was alot of things that would have made it better but then again there was many things that could have also made it worse to so as of now I stay with it was quite good.

Boring lead character.

Nyanko sensei is awesome despite the lazy animation and Reiko looks awesome. This will probably be one of those series where i could care less about the main lead.

I have to say, this does remind me of both Mushishi and xxxHolic. I'm not sure what to think of Natsume yet, though it had to be pretty sad for him growing up.
Reiko seems... interesting. o_o LOL.
And was definitely surprised by the cat's voice. Didn't expect a little old man voice for the chubby cat.

Lovely first episode. It was relaxing, deep, slow-paced and sweet. The animation was great and the sound couldn’t be more fitting.

I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy Natsume Yuujinchou very much.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Lovely ep, trying to find it tho was annoying. Here's a link with all seasons, though it does have ads it has all the eps in order which is useful considing some other sites put the 3rd season first.

I knew Nyanko-sensi would a funny character before even watching the anime. The first episode was kind of slow fun, now let me see what the rest of the episodes got.

This ep was BEAUTIFUL. Animated so beautifully, I'm so happy with how it turned out. So relaxing yet funny...ahhhh this is going to so wonderful.


I can't say anything more about it. I liked it, to be honest, even though I don't like most of the demons(I get flashbacks about the awful early witches in Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica). I'd feel better if they sticked up to something model looking convenient enough, but I guess there will be some ghosts will be ok with me and some which will have design contrary to my taste(like the very first ghost which was released by Natsume). I wonder why he releases them anyway. Doesn't this book give him some power equal to the names sealed in it? Idk, but I don't like the idea about releasing them. Anyway I liked Reiko. I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

Started to watch this through Crunchyroll, because it had good reviews about it.
The first episode was interesting, although the animation quality wasn't that great.
It's a 4 year old series anyway, hopefully the recent season is much better and comparable with "Hotarubi no Mori e"

I find the show a bit playfull, Natsume's grandmother sets the best example with her teases with the Youkai. Which was funny to see as well.

I expect alot of this anime, and i'm not regreted! It's so funny and shinny and beautiful, I love the songs and the chars and the animation, it's been a long time i don't see a anime more old then 2009 and the quality of Natsume surprise me! I love particulary the "Death" history the history of good gost and the detarmination of Natsume to complet the job left for your sweet grandmother.*-*

i regret not watching this sooner. Beautiful story indeed. Hiroshi Kamiya was perfect as Natsume. The scene where he was using the paper was awesome.


and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'|

Quite an interesting start, while the episode feels like it develops slow the time actually isn't as slow as you might think! A very interesting pacing and well the concept sure seems interesting so let's see what happens next!

I liked the episode despite its slow pace. I feel bad for Natsume because his power has brought him bad memories. I bet his relatives are like "Oh look at this Natsume kid just like his grandmother."

As fir Hishigaki, pretty sad that Reiko never called her. She looked forward to meeting her again, and with Reiko's smile who wouldn't look forward to meeting her again. Well at least Hishigaki got her name back.

How come finishing the undone business is to do the exact opposite of what his grandmother did? I didn't understand that.

The atmosphere is relaxing, the story is just well paced it just feels slow. Hope to see some eastern myths and superstition while having a good content in each episode and Madaras wittiness is cute though I hate cats (oh he was a dawg).

A very relaxing atmosphere with a fascinating story, this first episode has reeled me in already. It's rare to watch a first episode that feels so naturally well paced and I like where this is heading. Reiko is pretty and seems cool already.

Interesting story, but kind of a boring first episode :/
Didn't really like the OP and ED...

I will give it more episodes of course. I've only been hearing good things about this anime.
