Another awesome episode, man that fox is cute >< it'd be a good idea to let him stay with Natsume in my opinion =P but oh well.

Just getting sweeter and sweeter each episode, aww.. ;u; And the ED is as soothing as ever. I'm not really into episodic anime in general (Mushishi was great though), but this feels just.. right somehow, especially when I'm already tired. Not really the kind of anime ever to get into my favourites, but.. yeah. Calming, I do like it.

Hehe, that's when I got it, too.. Wasn't that world-shattering though, I simply thought "oh.. okay, then". XD

I'm just going to pretend that the fox was female. There's no excuse for it being male. There are no visual clues at all.

The story hasn't developed all that much, but each episode seems to get me more attatched. I guess it is potraying the theme of lonliness and i can relate to that too, altogether it just gives me a warm feeling watching this <3

Another sweet episode. I hope that they can meet again. The little fox was just too cute! And for a minute there I just got the wird feeling that something might happen to him when he left the train.

I guess I've seen too many "tragedy" animes recently.

And for some reason I just loved when Nyanko-sensei slid/clawed down the tree trunk..

Uber-Cuteness!!!

Then again, I always like kitsune.. This kid's adorable, cute ...

He was getting tricked?? Aren't kitsune normally supposed to be the tricksters themselves? Oh well, must be 'cause he's so young. And yeah, with the hat and the shirt as well I guess anyone would think it's a girl.

nyanko sensei was fun again as well.

Very kawaii episode, but I didn't quite get why the fox kid had to go back to the forest where he kept getting bullied. >_> Why not stick around Natsume's neighborhood?

Such a sweet episode. Kogitsune is adorable~♥ I feel bad because he has to go back to that forest since his mother’s grave is there. I wanted him to stay with Natsume.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Wearing the girl clothes seems like his way of holding on to his mother's memory. I mean he talks to the hat, and I don't see any youkai clothing stores around.

To be honest, it's a good thing the fox was a boy, otherwise I would've cried man tears if he sent a little girl back to the forest to live alone with her mother's grave. But since it's a boy, effit.

Very well said..

But she or he looks like a loli-foxversion of Anna Liebert/Nina Fortner from Monster. >.<

Anyway, great ep once again.

Love this episode so much, the little fox is sooooo kawaii <3 It makes me feel all fuzzy and warm everytime I watch this episode... <3

I liked to see Natsume kind of happy at the begin of the episode, when he was laughing, it was nice to see him cheerfull for a change ^^

Seeing the little fox trying to seek shelter under that huge leaf was too cute for words! It made me want to hug him, kawaaaiii ~~~<3

My heart really broke for a moment when Natsume instantly replied with a cold "I don't need it". I really froze for a moment, thinking I read it wrong, thinking Natsume would never be that harsh... I was shocked... Until he explained he didn't wanted to have a master - servant relationship but wanted them to be friends *I melted* :)

Ahww, the little fox was so cute when he tried to cheer himself up ^^ ~Aye Aye Aye Aye Aye Aye Aye!~

The holding hands and the train scene's were also really nice... But the best part was when Natsume went after him (after he was getting a little depressed, feeling lonely) and Natsume hugged him while he was crying <3 Most touching and cute scene so far! <3

It is interesting to see how Natsume is just as powerful as his grandmother (able to defeat the two bully demons pretty easily), but is such a gentle person. He's a good ambassador for humanity in general to the spirit world--and we probably need one seeing the way we treat nature.
Please don't feed the trolls!

I'm sure it's a she. Too cute to be a shota. DON'T TELL ME WRONG.

Damn. Natsume shoulda kept her.

Awww, the fox was so cute! (It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, does it?)

but I feel a little sorry for the little thing, having to go back to the forest with the bullies. I wish there'd been another place for it, with others to take care.

Still not loving Natsume's voice actor, but still, *melts*.


What? Are you kidding me :O *gasps for air*


Ep was alright. Better than previous IMO. I will never understand why they draw the fox person as a "she", when she refers to herself as a man, thus making it a "he".
Whatever sells more I guess..

i almost hnnnged until i realize that trap

it's a he because he addresses himself as "boku," as far as I know there are almost no girls who address themselves as that.

good guy natsume as usual, and nice warm ending :3
