----------------------------------------
A girl with glasses praying about her low test score, and got to accident. Fortunately, just hurting ankle.

She met Natsume when she was junior high (she didn't have glasses). Her mother also said he's dangerous, who kicked her or alone, or seeing what not seem to normal people.

She did suspect him seeing something.

Many times seeing Natsume besides glasses broken, so he got transferred soon after.

One of the guys seeing Natsume. Her friends saying that she likes him.

A youkai is with him now that he saw when he was in the girl mentioned in first part of the ep. Then also a huge youkai... He cursed people around him to be dead, unless he can escape it for a month (just a joke).

That's when he hid in the shrine (he really kicked her because it was behind her). lol @ it enjoying the game. And the breaking of the glasses was from the youkai. When Natsume said he's going to transfer, it said he was just a god and hated him.

Smaller youkai was just sticking on him for a while.

Wow! First time we actually see a girl interested in Natsume other than Sasada or Taki.

But it would have been nice if they had met again!

The preview looks interesting! It seems like someone takes over his body.

NATORI!!!
Brains Base, why are you being such a tease?! I want to see Natori in person soon, please. *sob* But it was nice seeing his posters. Ogata has been a Natori fan girl for a few years, clearly. XD
Aaaargh, I want Natori even more now! Evil Brains Base, hmph.

The episode was lovely. I always love these flashback stories in the manga, but the anime really does a wonderful job making the story even more atmospheric and heart-warming. <3

Looking forward to next week's episode despite Natori's absence. But Tanuma episodes are always beautiful, so...

She looked as though she truly liked Natsume.
Oh I wished they meet again
It was a good thing that the yokai that chased him around protected the girl
It was a great flash back of the two that made a wonderful episode

I actually found that tiny red 'Clingbug' youkai cute.

Ogata was pleasant, I liked her sence of logic.

I see a bit of myself in Natsume - it only takes a day or two before people see me as 'the strange one', difference is, I'm fine with it. :P

I like the reeper youkai, he just wanted some attention and proved a great troll. :P
He reminded me of that female youkai from the last series who loitered in tree's and attempted to frighten people who passed by - I hope Natsume pays a visit to this reeper as he did with her.

Interesting looking preview.

I'd love to see more romance ...actually the magazine which Natsume Yujinchou's manga is published in is LaLa a shoujo manga magazine and that makes it weird to not have any romance in it

Argh. Running down stairs and umbrellas. ANOTHER. Lawlz.

But I absolutely positively loved that episode. Best one this season so far. Just so purely beautiful and wonderful :) I want a continuation! Natsume and Ogata have to meet!!!!!!!!!!
However, them meeting really wouldn't have accomplished anything. They've moved beyond that time and don't have any regrets to what happened. A really beautiful concept if you ask me :D

But poor Natsume-kun, he was hurt so much when he was little :/

I feel so awesome and warm and fuzzy inside :3

Next episode looks cool. I'm excited! :D

Is it me or is this fourth season even more awesome than the first three ? The episode was beautifully executed and narration was perfect once again. Oh, and the preview seemed to indicate that the next one will be fantastic too, evil Natsume ftw !

Thoughts as I'm watching:

LOL, NATTORI POSTER. Unloved~

Natsume kicked a girl, LOL.

Natsume's long hair makes him look like a little emo boy.

Aw, Natsume stopped to pet a kitty ;D.

Poor Natsume, she can't see that youkai is harassing him.

With the rain and all, Yuriko reminds me of Sasafune the mermaid, maybe the way her eyes and the way her hair falls I guess?

IT NOT NATSUME'S FAULT, WHHHYYYYYYYY . . . !!????

KAPPA-PLUSHIE, ME WANT.

Kuro-Nyanko-sensei ;D~!

Aw T___T;;

Man, suckage.

This is so hilarious yet sad at the same time.

Just realized the thing in its mouth was a tennis ball, lol.

Another brilliant episode.

Yes. I love that she stood up for Natsume and that he smiled. <3

And I liked his hair, even though it was a bit messy.
I loved how she was observant and smart.

I can't find a reason to dislike Natsume! It's soo great! since the season 3, every episode makes me sad (because of natsume's problems) and yet I'm always very happy at the end of each episode!

Nest episode looks interesting!!

I literally was going to say the exact same thing when i saw this..already said it on my blog though :D

It's heartbreaking to see Natsume smile despite all the bullcrap he has to deal with!

I actually preferred how they didn't meet. The episode wasn't bad, but it felt like it covered well-trodden ground, probably in San. I'm not a fan of the dual perspective thing either. I don't know about comparing it to the previous seasons, but this is definitely the one of the few shows this season I look forward to each week.

the first half of the episode was among the best bits from the whole series; liked the whole double perspective thing.
"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')

Tears rolled down when Natsume replied: "They have all been nice up until now." T_T

Isn't Yuriko the first one to actually cry for Natsume? She seemed to have taken a strong liking to him and who knows, there could be more to just friendship. I would have loved to see her meeting Natsume. Let's just assume she probably will, because it seems that Natsume is frequenting that town. :)

Good episode. Ogata should just ask Toyomatsu where he saw Natsume so they can meet again.

I thought I was hearing things, but I was right because I was heard her voice instead of Ogata's the entire time.

First thing that comes to mind at the end of this episode is whether Natsume and Yuriko will ever meet again.
I would just like to see that conversation that comes forth from it since they seemed really friendly.
They way they parted was also pretty sad so who knows what might become of it.

It was also a pretty nice story to watch and i liked how Yuriko didn't seem to mind Natsume's strange behaviour.

I agree! it is wonderful. It is really nice when we get to meet characters form Natsume's past. Also it is kind of funny, i am too lazy/cheep to have my hair cut somewhere. I would probably have offered to cut his hair. Although he probably would have declined. I liked how Touko Fujiwara-san was described as a sweet older women.
Natsume must be really in shape. Look at how much exercise he got as a child running for his life.
