| Great episode. Funny Tanuma and Natsume moment. |
Mangafee said: I wanna see more injured Natsume~ (lolz, sadist) Strangely enough I also enjoy this lol. Really nice episode and I can't wait for the next one. |

| Just goes to show that Youkai shouldn't act like the shit, jumping on top of trees during a thunderstorm. |

shiine-chan said: I'm just wondering, is there enough manga material for another season? (It's hard to keep track since the anime doesn't really follow the exact order of the manga chapters). All I remember is another encounter with Matoba, but I supppose that'll only be, like, 2 episodes. actually, i think there is. cause if they make another season, it will take at least! half a year (most likely longer....) and the manga is still ongoing. actually, the raws are already at chapter 54.... (I couldn't stand waiting anymore, so i just looked at the pictures of vol 12 in japanese... maybe i should learn some..?) |

| Great episode. Kept me interested the whole way through and I was sad when it ended. This arc is pretty cool. Hard to believe there's only three more episodes to go. |
| ♪Ikayaki ika ga? Ikayaki want you~ ♪ Best song ever. Even though there are only 2 lines. |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| “I want you.” I don’t know whether I should feel a bit sorry towards Nyanko-sensei upon the abuse or laugh wholeheartedly at Taki’s obsession with cute stuff. … Probably the latter, yeah. Because Taki is <3. Oh, oh. That awkward moment with Natsume and Tanuma was beyond priceless. No way to describe how much I enjoyed that. Plus the bubbles of light in the background just fit in so well. My mind had to scream “Homoerotic!” at some point during the scene, to add it up. This season is out flowing with two-episode arcs! Those two students watching the trio digging at random places with one of them seeming to be in pain… they must be utterly weirded out, no doubting that. I love episodes like these. I just got a thing for whatever those three do together, I can’t help it! Aw, Taki, don’t let them leave you out! Three episodes left. Why?! Can’t we hope for another season, a movie, specials, something? I’ll be terribly sad after three weeks from now…! |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Nice ep. Too bad there's only 3 more eps to go. T_T |
| I can´t recall a lot of details of this episode from the manga version. The only think I´m sure is about this history that I didn´t like it that much. I like the 3rd season, but it´s quite ambiguous compared to the previous two IMO. I really hope they include chapters 30-31, where Natsume re-meets another youkai (a dangerous one this time) from his past. |
 |
| Sensei: 'Ikayaki, I want you!' Taki: 'And I want you!' *evil smile* Kinda creepy lol. Great episode over all. I'm really happy that Tanauma can experience some of Natsume's adventures with Youkai. Taki blushing in next ep preview? Is that some Taki x Natsume I see? xDDD I hope Natsume stays single though through out the whole show; he's meant to be that way. Just a note because I was bored: I like this show, but I like Mushishi better because of the 'not as happy and go-lucky' stories (shows how things don't always go as planned) and the AMAZING soundtrack. |
| I still get freaked out watching this anime. ahah. Got scared when Natsume thought he saw something at school. Buuur |
| There were a couple really well animated scenes this episode. Reminds me why I love this show so much (: |

| Nice episode, I liked the Tanuma screentime since he and Natsume are realy close friends :) Wow awesome, Natsume actually purificated (smacked the youkai out of) Tanuma with his bare hands? Well it was only for a moment but still :D Nice story, I hope it will end well for all of them :) |
| The trio's relationship just got better. Taki and Nyanko-sensei together is amusing as usual. :D Also, why are those broken pieces there in the school when it was struck in the forest. O_o |
StormViruz said: Also, why are those broken pieces there in the school when it was struck in the forest. O_o The mirror pieces can move around, since they seek out shiny surfaces to hide in. (Such as mirrors, pieces of bottles, and eyes, apparently.) |
| Huh, interesting episode. |
| I love Tanuma! And I feel bad for Taki, she can't see the mirror, but she is great. I don't want it to end ughh. |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| Tanuma and Natsume, I love it, I love it. ;_; I guess part of my love for the 3rd season is because they focus more on Natsume's friends. I like que lonely-wolf Natsume, but its great this "I-wanna-protect-my-friends" thing too. <3 And Taki with nyanko-sensei is great too! I love how she is, almost all of the time I hate the female characters, because they're annoying (this is for you, Sasada), but Taki is so funny and cute. :3 |
| Taki is one really nice girl, and like Tanuma and Natsume also spends a lot of time on her own (the year where she couldn't speak anyone's name for fear that they might be on the youkai hit list probably didn't help). I'm curious to see what the blush is about next episode. |
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 |
lol xD The hammer youkai seems to want the mirror too. Or maybe break it? good episode 4/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
Aversa said: It was rather funny to see Taki trying hard to see that mirror i hope for her she will see it at one point. I felt bad about her =\ Still she was so funny when she was stalking Nyanko-sensei :D:D I'm looking forward to the next episode. |

 |
| *gasp* the final frame of this episode. Anyways, nice episode with the mirrors and the usual pleasant atmosphere. |
 |
| LOL from an outsider's point of view, Natsume, Tanuma, and Taki do look like they're acting out a play or something XD And wow, this season has plenty of creepy youkai. That hammer at the very end. Poor Natsume having his eye hurt whenever near a piece of the mirror. |
| yes! i love it when the trio is in action together! moreover, it's 2 episodes long~ i wonder what caused Taki to blush like that in the preview? |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Good episode. I'm glad there's a bit of comedy in the series now. |
 "No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself." -- Murakami Haruki |
| The normal atmosphere and pace came back so that's a huge plus for me! This episode was quite nice, that ending sure was interesting, either way let's see what's next! |
 |
| So a searching episode for a youkai mirror. The two students who saw Taki/Tanuma/Natsume digging holes hope they don't start rumors of them acting weird. Taki being moe when Nyanko-sensei came to the school. |
 |
| And that is why you don't go jumping off trees during a thunderstorm lol The ending...hammer time! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Is Natsume gay? I thought the deep male-male stares from previous episodes were bad enough, but this is just taking it too far. Why can't Natsume like Taki? Taki's so fucking sweet |
| Really liked the episode, very interesting ending! |
| this one has a very cardcaptor sakura vibe to it, haha. (up to and including clamp's tendency for shounen-ai, it would seem - good try, though i'm not much of a kaname/natsume person) |
 |
| Didn't expect a cliffhanger for this one! Love when these three work together. |
| First part of of an arch that seems to be hard to Natsume. -- Primera parte de un arco que parece, que va a ser duro para Natsume. |
| This time the story is a little different from the usual, although I presume the final will be very similar to those seen so far. In terms of history, it is another important step in the development of the plot, with high-profile implications. Nyanko-sensei is still a key part in the purely entertaining questions. |
 |
this scenery was nice so i decided to redraw it. |
| Found it too convenient that the majority of the pieces ended up at the school. |
 |
| After a lightning storm Natsume runs across Tanuma, who becomes possessed by a youkai. The youkai had been struck by said lightning which shattered a mirror she was holding. A piece of which happened to land in Natsume's eye. Now Natsume, Tanuma and Taki must find the mirror fragments for the youkai possessing Tanuma to leave. But it won't be easy as another, hammer wielding youkai wants them too. Another two-parter, and the Inuyasha parallels continue! :D Just replace jewel with mirror. I liked how Nyanko-sensei just had to assert his badassness by letting it be known he could expel the youkai if he really wanted to. :D And their classmates reacting to Natsume, Tanuma and Taki digging around campus was cute. Ditto Taki glomping Nyanko-sensei. :D My questions are twofold: Firstly, even if they complete the mirror how do they get the piece in Natsume's eye without hurting him? Youkai magic? Secondly, the hammer youkai...what's its story? Could there be more than meets the eye going on here? |
| I'm loving the Inuyasha vibes, nice. |
 |
| Gotta collect those shards for the mirror. Had a yaoi moment in there lol. Also that hammer at the end was kinda creepy. |
 |
This episode was one of my favourites given that it combined elements of my favourite anime, Inuyasha i.e. searching for the shards with a human shard detector before other yokai - that's basically the plot of Inuyasha - with a really cute bashful romance-hinting scene between Natsume and Tanuma. I think they're adorable... |

| Ikayaki, I want you!' LOL Also another great episode!!^^ |
| I remembered very little about this episode, I didn't remember that it was a mini-arc. Good episode, now we will see the conclusion with them finding the whole mirror. |
| The mirror broke in the middle of the forest so why was there a piece buried in the school's backyard?? |
| I'm not a big fan of this arc. Poor Nyanko-sensei again. x3 Taki really loves that chubby furball. |
 |
| Two possession stories in a row, I'm kinda surprised. I wonder what this one will do with a whole another episode though. |
