I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Loved it!! And next episode we get to see Matoba-san finally! Sooo excited XD |
| Yay, Matoba arc next week :D I really liked this episode. I lol'd when Natsume had trouble lifting those boxes, while Tanuma could lift them easily. About Matoba: He actually got mentioned one time in the previous season, but I can see how people forgot. It was such a long time ago after all. |

| This was not as sentimental as the previous episodes but since we got to see Taki I really enjoyed it. As always Ponta came to rescue his "dessert." lol |
| finally ! we will be able to see matoba and natori , and some action next week :). |

| He can't lift a box but he can lay down 1 punch on a youkai and send it flying xD What a silly guy. This is definitely becoming one of my favorite animes. |
| So good. Tonnes of character development lately for Natsume. Now he is TALKING about his yokai experiences. That is a brand new step! The battle scene was also pretty epic, I love giant nyanko, he has such an awesome voice that's somewhere between Guin and Kakashi. Next: MATOBA AND NATORI!!! I love those two, looking forward to it immensely. |
| Yeeesh, I somewhat creepy episode. By the ending, I liked the episode because of the grandpa though. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Great episode, I think. Definitely the most action-oriented (and creepiest) episode so far. Also, nice to see Taki's circle make another appearance. Yay for continuity! And lastly, I thought the moment where the youkai decides to step into the circle when saying goodbye was a very nice, sweet touch. Ah, the Matoba arc I've heard so much about is starting next week. Definitely looking forward to seeing why everyone loves it so much~ |
    |
| lol they skipped pretty far ahead didn't they? it looks like he is starting to become more accepting of his ability. |
| That was a creepy episode but really good! |
Inn said: Matoba and Natori next! We're waiting) Same here |
| This is probably the best ep so far. I'm glad they included this one in the anime. So creepy yet at the end I actually teared up a little seeing Taki's sick grandpa surrounded by all those youkai he could not see. I can't wait for the next episode. I am dying to see Matoba and Natori! |

| Nice to see Natsume being encouraged to open up and share. Yeah, it was great to finally see Taki again. Overdue. Didn't want the episode to end. Everyone's so excited about the preview that it's hard not to look forward to next week. Can't wait. |

| This anime always manages to make me want to cry by the end of every episode. Really loved it!! |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| MATOBA AND NATORI NEXT WEEK! Finally the next one is Matoba Arc!!! Kyaaah~~ xDD ♥ ♥ Matoba Seiji FTW ♥ ♥ As for this week ep, it made me teared up by the end of the ep.. And I cried a lot when I read this arc in the manga...Q___Q |
| Loved it. The cleaning was good, the interaction with Tanuma and Taki, the youkai, and stuff about Taki's grandfather. All good. Fight was pretty good, too. Just one thing more I'd like. For Natsume to fight back a little harder. He's perfectly capable and has done it before. It's cool that Madara protects him but would be nice if he started protecting himself more. Honestly my only gripe with this season so far. Natsume's attitude actually seemed to regress from the second season a little. In terms of taking care of himself anyway. His attitude toward youkai a bit also. The fact that he's opening up more and getting closer to his friends is great, though. As for the next episode, can't say I'm all that excited. Never did like Natori, he's a douchebag, and don't really know who Matoba is. |

That's because they're jumping from one manga chapter to the other, going back and forth with pretty large gaps in between... while all the stories can easily be read separately, Natsume's attitude towards himself and to others gradually changes over the course of the manga. They're fucking that up because of the weirds chapter skips in the anime... :| Anyone else REALLY disappointed with the animation of the third season? In my opinion it's just really lacking compared to the first two seasons... and I'm getting really annoyed with Natsume looking younger every episode, I liked Natsume better before he got all moe. :C /rant |
| MATOBA NEXT WEEK!!!!! asdsjdskjdhsjkh And oh, Natori, who's as fabulous as ever. ♥ |

| That kimono youkai was creeeeeepy B| Good episode, though, and it was nice to see Taki again. I haven't read the manga but people seem to be looking forward to the appearance of this Matoba guy, so I'm curious as to what next episode will be like. |
| Sad but really nice episode, loved it <3 Kinda creepy with those limbs but it was good. I kinda hope Natsume will exorcist a youkai by himself some day, it would be really nice to see... Can't wait for the next arc ^^ |
| Oh, where to begin? I absolutely, endlessly, irrevocably, loved this episode. First, Taki. OH TAKI, YOU’RE THERE, FINALLY. I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO APPEAR ;___; and thus my heart melted. Nyanko-sensei, you got such luck~ Second, Taki plus Natsume and Tanuma = win. I adore them three all together. They’re the best trio of friends; the only ones who can truly be closer to Natsume than anyone else… understanding him like nobody else. And so it is. Natsume opening up to them, even to the point of willingly telling them about the youkai he talked to… aw, it’s amazing. Third, everything else. It was lovely, amusing, eerie, and finally, heartfelt and bittersweet. The youkai were so attached to Taki’s grandfather, even when they’d only said to be there to “entertain” themselves and make fun of him, that they prayed and told him to get well while was prostrated in his bed. It made my heart break. And, last but not least: MATOBA’S ARC NEXT WEEK. Oh, at last~! I squealed as soon as I heard Natori’s voice. I can’t wait~~♥ |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |

Besides one little comment that reflects the way you used to feel all the while acting the complete opposite like he did in this episode just shows that he's not completely matured yet. It shouldn't be unwavering and linear. And I guess I agree with the animation just because in this episode I thought that the 'fight' scene was very disappointing looking. |

| Matoba who? I can't seem to remember him despite being a Natsume fan? If he is from the manga, I guess I will have to wait and see. Also, Natori returns. As for the episode, Yay for Taki. <3 |

That is true, but they're skipping a LOT of chapters this time... They stayed on track with the chapters during most of season 1/2, and then this happened.

Not to mention that between season 2 and 3 we just skipped 20+ chapters. /huge post is huge, sorry |

It's going back to chapter 23 next episode isn't it? |

Dark_Puddles said: It's going back to chapter 23 next episode isn't it? Yea it's going back to chapter 23. |
| I think they just wanted to do a load of episodic storylines before the arc takes place. As long as the arcs are in order, all else can be anywhere as well as it is well adapted. But if there are that many chapters, this season could run for a full 24+ episode season. And episode 2 of this season was in the manga, don't know which chapter though. |

| Got some Fatal Frame II vibes with the kimono youkai. |
| This is the first time i heard about a scarecrow to ward of monsters i guess it's like beating them at there own game and does seem to make sense. Seeing Taki is always nice i wonder why her parents could not get along with her grandfather, it's a bit weird since they lived in the same house for a bit. Only thing i am wondering about is that last season it was mentioned that Taki transfered in recently and that she only come to town shortly before that. |
Aversa said: Only thing i am wondering about is that last season it was mentioned that Taki transfered in recently and that she only come to town shortly before that. The best explanation I can come up with is that after her father died her parents inherited the estate and so they moved in. |
| this episode looked especially amazing. i'm glad, because takitanumanatsume episodes should get that treatment. outstanding as usual but even more than usual, blah blah i'm a broken record. (just throwing in a mention here that volume 8 came out in english yesterday!) |
| I think this season is really starting to pick up for me. That stethoscope... ;_; I was a little thrown off by Natsume's "nothing but trouble" comment, but then I saw how it was mirrored by the youkai, haha. I'm rather behind on the manga - only read up to Volume 3 - but I look forward to seeing this arc that everyone's already been looking forward to all this time. |

It's going back to chapter 23 next episode isn't it? I didn't even know that there was a thread about it, I just kept my own list... haha :) I just feel that they're skipping too much... Natsume suddenly seems pretty care free (not the bast way to describe this I know) in the anime, at least compared to the manga where he's a lot more on edge about losing what he has.

I'll go cry about it some more in my corner. :C |

| Pretty good episode. I liked seeing Taki again. |
| Takiiii ! Hope we'll see her more often from now one. |

| The scene about the youkais trying to heal Taki's grandpa looks like a joke to them yet it was deeply saddening. More Taki is nice. :D |
| Aww, the youkai trying to heal the man was so touching... Very nice episode |
