halfway throughout the episode, i had this feeling that it would be a sad ending but i never thought it'd be so sad it made me teared up.


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

Hmm, not the best episode I've seen. 3.5/5.

Shibata's pretty cute... Wonder if we'll be seeing him in future episodes :p Also the animation for this series has really gotten amazing. I just love it so much more now ^^

Exactly what happens to a youkai that causes it to die? And does it just disappear from existence?

Very heart warming episode. I guess Shibata finally believes Natsume can see youkai, and he's friends with him now.

LOL at Nyanko-sensei suddenly appearing in the bath.

Even though the story between Shibata and the youkai was sad, I still dislike Shibata. He was too much of a scumbag until the last 5 min. for me to really empathize for him.

I can't believe he just forgive Shibata like that. He is one of the reason Natsume have to move to new place. And what the heck, Shibata did not even properly apologize to Natsume about what he did before. From the way i see it, he only come to Natsume when it is convenience for him. And he still doesn't believe Natsume till the end.( Like when Natsume give him Murasaki letter).

Please show some emotion Natsume. Show us more of your wrath. If it's me, i would ask one of my ghost friend to scared Shibata so hard that he pee on his pants.

This was the first episode in a long time that was as good as season 1 episodes, at least as far as the emotional impact is concerned.

Episode sweet, this third season started a bit like the first set, full of feelings, a lot more than those seen in the second season. The plot makes a move I did not expect going to dig into the past of Natsume and in his dealings with those who were around during his childhood, a small wound heals and the excuse to tell a beautiful love story, magnificent! Nyanko-sensei is always the best when it comes to having fun.

I find it odd that Natsume's dream implied she would eat Shibata but when she talked about how she met him it didn't sound like she was going to harm Shibata since he grew on her.

On Shigeru's birthday Natsume runs into Shibata, an old grade school classmate of his who asks for his help investigating Murasaki, a young girl who he suspects might be a youkai. Well another bittersweet episode to add onto the ever increasing pile. XD Shibata came off too douchey, early on anyway, for me to get emotionally invested enough to get teary eyed while Murasaki and he had their final goodbye. But I suppose the scene itself was nice. Nyanko-sensei had several adorable moments that stood out far more than the main story this time though. Oh, and happy birthday Shigeru! XD

Shibata didn't deserve Natsume's help, it's a pity Murasaki was a nice youkai.

First of all, Natsume is quite naive to go far away with an old college that used bullied him. But, this episode was sadder than i expected

If Natsume stopped paying so much attention to other boys, maybe he could get a girlfriend of his own too.

Bath scene +1

Loving the fanservice here.

This was pretty much of an old post but still gold, I guess? By the way, just wanted to quote this because I find it to be quite funny and agreeable, somehow.

Lmao, yeah, Natsume could have get himself a girlfriend in no time but I just thought that maybe he wanted to focus more in loving or taking care of his adoptive parents. Even so, it is more like Natsume being the usual him.

Aside from that, it was actually weird but not that weird to make an idea of a character falling in love with a youkai but this episode is surely quite something for me, it is just heartwarming and somewhat lovely. It would also have been nice if Shibata and Murasaki were a real human-beings couple and surely they would make a good one, especially for Shibata's actions in accepting her and how Murasaki even corresponded to him.

Natsume being nice as always. Watching Murasaki fade away was neat. Nyanko sensei keeps being called ugly. He’s cute dammit!

I'm not a fan of these romance episodes.

However, Nyanko-sensei's usual antics and facial expressions made this a decent episode.

I loved the scene with the hairdryer. Nyanko-sensei was so cute and puffy. xD

Also, it was sweet when he played with that schoolgirl.
