Natori looks like an older version of Natsume.

I thought the exact same!! His hair was a bit different shade though.

I'm always down for hearing Ishida's voice~~

Pretty and full of melancholy also the story of Natori and Hiragi, united by fate and misfortune. Pleasant the episode does not lack fun and interesting ideas, too bad that the character of Hiragi is only hinted at, perhaps this is the only fault but it can also be a choice made to make sure that the viewer is encouraged to follow even more the anime series.

Not a big fan of Natori and it kind of sucks how Natsume can't really make him change his mind about hurting yokai and instead they just have to each their own, especially after we've seen so many emotional episodes filled with yokai who love people.

Regardless, it was a nice change of pace.

I completely forgot about Natori xD Thought he was a shapeshifting spirit/demon when Natsume bumped into him due to the sketchy vibes he gave off.

Damn, that sucks if the lizard youkai "birthmark" really was eating away Natori's life span D: he should've asked Nyanko-sensei to confirm it :/

Natori was a bit annoying, but it all ended ok.

I wouldn't want a birthmark like that, even if it didn't shorten my lifespan.

Madara as always being cheeky and adorable. Natori is the complete opposite of Natsume.

interesting ep, yeh the minute Natori mentioned exorcism of spirits i knew it wouldn't fit well with Natsume. Dudes just more of a pacifist and does things without violence which can be difficult, but understandable. Was also really surprise Natori didn't even flinch over hearing Natsume had "The Book Of Friends" i could of imagined the book would be pretty wide spread and known about from Youkai's and exorcist, if the dude had it i'm sure he could amass a few other strong followers to hunt bigger Youkai that are worth cash, oh well.
Found it also really odd that after Natsume broke free he kinda just stood in the circle instead of idk pushing the Youkai out or smthing. Understandably he might of done it to make Natori stop the exorcism (which he couldn't) and if he did push the Youkai out the 50/50 chance of the curse breaking wouldn't have occurred. Lmao still he didn't even as much get a 'thanks' from the Youkai after attempting to save her life.

I think the conversation at the train station is a very important one that really gets at the theme of the series. You don't have to have the same opinions and you don't have to understand what makes someone happy it's the connections you make that are important. Natsume has issues with the fact that he is different and thinks this precludes him from having these meaningful connections.

This is the weakest episode so far. It wasn't bad, it's above average, but compared to other episodes...

Lol that scene in the beginning with Natsume telling Nyanko-sensei to lose weight and that Buta Neko vs Chiri-Chiri tooXD

Wonder what caused Natori to start harming yokai in this way.

Others can't always understand what makes someone happy; only they can ~ Nyanko sensei that was so beautiful

"Oh? Is it an earthquake?" Lol. Nyanko-sensei has gotten fat. xD

Buta Neko vsc Chiri Chiri was hilarious.

Natsuri's "birthmark" is pretty cool.
