| It's been a while so I was more emotional than usual with the end and the teacup. |
| Why am I crying over a teacup? ;__; Soooooo glad the anime is back...much as I love the manga, there is something really sweet and special about this adaption. There isn't another show out there that I have as much affection for. Also, it looks like next week will be an anime original episode...? Um...already? |

Chalis said: It's been a while so I was more emotional than usual with the end and the teacup. I really enjoyed this episode. Natsume really is a peaceful and heart warming anime. It makes me smile and just forget about all the crap that goes on in real life. It really is awesome and looking forward to the rest. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| There was no Natori-san in the OP :( |
 |
| I missed the sweetness and peacefulness of Natsume Yuujinchou, that's for sure ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Once again, a second time, okaerinasai, Natsume and Nyanko-sensei... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Nyanko-sensei is back...Loved the episode... Man, this is where the summer begins *^*... Next episode = Tanuma ♥ |
| I'm so glad this show is back. It wasn't an excellent episode, but still very enjoyable, as it always is. |
| Ok, I guess I'm the only one that never saw the first seasons. I don't know if I should put this on hold and catch up on the first seasons or just watch it. |
| Isn't it astonishing how they make you care for the little teacup fellow? I'm so glad this gentle anime is back. Hopefully they show much more of Reiko and also develop the relationships with his friends. First episode was a good introduction for newcomers. I was expecting a bit more polish and some technical improvement over the prequels though. EtherSword said: Ok, I guess I'm the only one that never saw the first seasons. I don't know if I should put this on hold and catch up on the first seasons or just watch it. I guess you can watch them along the way. The premise isn't that complex so you should already have a clue how things work. Season 1 is mostly introduction and becomes repetitive after a while (monster of the day). In season 2 things start to get interesting. |

| Teacup-kuuun ;___; Great ep. Great series. Man I'm glad summer is finally here. |
 |
| I finish the first two seasons last summer and I was so happy that there's a third season. As usual, beautiful episode! It's so calming to watch. |
| I love the manga but I like it better as anime. I missed hearing Natsume's voice. I can't wait for the Matoba arc. |
EtherSword said: Ok, I guess I'm the only one that never saw the first seasons. I don't know if I should put this on hold and catch up on the first seasons or just watch it. Season 1 is more like an introductory and episodic season. While Season 2 showed how Natsume started to understand his grandmother Reiko and how he gradually understood someone being needed - as a part of the Fujiwara family. A lot of character development there in Zoku as well as the introduction of Taki. It's never too late to start on Zoku, you can watch the first couple of episodes of season 1 and skip to season 2. 15 (2+13) episodes will be a great thing for you before the next episode airs since there are so many things that will go unnoticed. Some people say that episodic anime such as ARIA, Gintama or Natsume can be seen without watching every episode "since" they are episodic. But for me, it was important to watch ARIA the Animation before watching Natural and then Origination. And I feel that go the same for Gintama as well as Natsume. Three of my all time favourite shows. Inn said: shanimebib said: Also, this season might not have Natori and co. at all. They are not shown during the OP. I think we will see them. Matoba is announced, and Natori appears in this arc in manga too. I don't read the manga. So I am taking your words for it. Arigatou~ |

| Don't skip any of Natsume, why would you do such a thing? D: |

|
| Oh god how I've missed this show It's so calming and serene with the beautiful bgms that play throughout the show. It shocked me when the demon bit him, poor teacup Also Natsume is still hot when he gives a name back |
 |
| i definitely liked it ;) and now need to wait for second episode, wich rather.. sucks? ehehe ;) Besides im wondering, how this season will end. |
| Omg it's baaack! Finally! I totally loved this episode, it was such a nice story and ahww poor teacup-chan :( The voice over was perfect, I don't know any other serie which has such good voice overs <3 5/5 |
| when will the next one come out? Are they released weekly? |
 |
Mangafee said: Are they released weekly? Yes, like most anime. |
 |
| oh no the tea cup!!!! love the episode. |
 |
| Ahhh! I dismissed it when his arm began working fine again (that unnatural jerk of his body when the ayakashi bit him was quite horrifying) and it turned out that it was Teacup-san! ;~; RIP! Suddenly, I remembered why I liked Natsume Yuujinchou so much. Haha. |
| Again, very pleasant - looked forward to a new series for a while and this didn't dissapoint. Starting off with another insigth int Reiko's antics was a right move, as I'm sure we're all interested in her just as much as her grandson is. Human looking spirits could prove a dangerous trap. :o The tea-cup was sweet. 10/10. |
 |
| T-Teacup ;_; Oh how I love this series... |
| >User since 2008 Please god help me quit this website. Such great community that doesn't even know how demographics work, AND gives """detailed"""" reviews after first episodes. |
| It's been a while since I've last seen an episode of this. Glad it's back. |
 |
| I am happy to see that this is back i really enjoyed the first 2 seasons and it certainly has the same relaxing feel so i wonder how things will turn out for Natsume. |
| Awesome that it's finally back! |
 ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ |
BakaOnna said: Teacup was such a bro. ;_; T.T poor teacup-san :( I've missed this show sooo bad, it's one of my favorite. And Natsume is SOOOO HOT when he's returning the names OMFG. He's just hot.. 5/5 |
 |
| Ah, so nice to see more of Natsume again, and some more of Nyanko-sensei's antics. This episode wasn't the best, but it was still pretty nice. More of my thoughts on the episode are here on my blog. I do wonder if there was some kind of connection to be made between the tea cup's story and the obaachan's story. =/ |
| Quiet amazing, to say the least. I kind of love Natsume. He's so CUUUTE <3 Love this episode. I'm hoping for more plot/development in this season. |
| Wonderful just like all other episodes in the previous two seasons. |
 |
| Ah so happy that Natsume is back~ only seen 2nd season i should rly go back and watch the first one >_< |
| Splendid first episode. It's been so long since season 2 ended yet it took no time to settle back into this wonderful series. Looking forward to seeing Natsume's continued growth and learning more about the amazing Reiko. |
 |
| ♥missed natsume yuujinchou very much.. :) |
... =_=     |
| Welcome back, natsume and nyanko-sensei! :3 |
| I was so hyped when I saw the announcement for the third season, and thankfully the first episode didn't disappoint. Both seasons were so brilliant and I'm sure this one will too! Though I will say I was really sad at the end of this episode. That poor tea cup... |
 |
| It felt like forever for this but it is so worth it. With usual calm and relaxing aura. Very nice first episode. Only bad thing is the opening song. It doesn't fit with the rest of the music. Loved the ending though. Can't wait for the next episode~. |

| I recently watched seasons 1 and 2 and I simply find this series amazing. It's nice to have an anime that has nothing to do with eechi, drama, action, etc. Just a nice peaceful anime.... Oh right, season 3. Great first episode, the tea cup died a hero :( |
 |
| Another lovely start to another lovely season of this wonderful anime. It hasn't lost anything! Such a nice treat to watch this anime again. I love it, and wish there were more like it. I loved the story in this episode. |
| -Jenn |
| I found myself smiling throughout the entire episode. Im so glad this series is back. One of the best shows to watch before heading to bed haha |
 |
| So glad its back! this is one of the few anime that just makes my hearth happy when i watch it. Natsume and Nyanko make my day. and Nyanko's joke just knock me of of the chair they are so hilarious. i need to find a Nyanko plushy. |
