wow that was a really great episode with a touch of action in it. I really hope season two focuses on Natsume learning more scroll techniques.

that was great!! i have to agree, natsume looked really cool when summoning the shiki. i love this episode, the feelings of wanting to be with tohko -san and husband is solidified even more in this episode. i think natsume is really pleased when tohko-san was scolding him hahahahah!!!

So just wait till the last second and summon some very small looking creature that is very powerful. Kinda boring, but I guess he had to survive.

Downloading episode 13 right now!!

Really tense episode but resolved too fast, the merry ghost would make a good movie. And Natsume got the same mark as the guy from Princess Monoke.

The slowly moving shadow was scary. D:

Especially when Natsume woke up and it was there. But it was scary in general. Creepiest thing in anime I've seen in a long time.

I hate the "It was all a test" stuff but oher than that this episode was interesting and advanced the story somewhat. It was even kind of suspenseful. When Natsume was running for his life I didn't feel like "Oh, a big spirit is running after Natsume and is trying to kill him, let's see what boring way Natsume will escape."

That was a really superb episode. Man, that sloth shadow was creepy >.< I loved Nyanko-sensei in his super-small and large forms >:3

ALSO, I LOVE NATSUME~ I liked him before, but this episode caused me to fall in love with his character xD

So Natsume made the lesbo spirit straight?

The shadow thing was the scariest thing I've ever seen in any anime. Ever.

Huge Nyanko with deep voice was win

Agree. It freaked me out a little.

I generally find that less is more when it comes to horror. The plain looking things and things you don't know well are the scariest. Once the shadow morphed into the ayakashi thing, it wasn't very scary.

The shadow was indeed scary. And to tell you the truth, I don't really like the slice-of-life mixed with action. But overall it was still a great episode.

Wow... that slowly moving shadow is creepy... At first, I believe by day 5, he'll be able to run as fast as human, and I thought all Natsume can do is run to the other side of Japan or something.

I'm scared for Natsume's life TBH. Waking up looking into a mouth that will eat him.

Favorite episode!!! I love this scary episode... I get the feeling that this is the beginning of Natsume learning exorcist spells.

I felt like something was missing from this episode but still I enjoyed it.

Natsume learned that he loved his "family" and a new lesson about spirits.

But I can't believe that there is only one more episode left in this season. It feels like I've been watching this anime for a long time, when in truth it has only been a few days.

^This. I'm sure I'll be having a nightmare about that thing at some point in the future...

I was kinda miffed that the whole thing was Misuzu testing him.
Misuzu: Hey, remember how you've been suffering for days & came like thisclose to dying? Well, I set all that up. Just curious to see what you'd do.
Natsume: Well..huh. Oh well...

I also had a hard time trying to decide whether I thought giant Nyanko-sensei or pocket Nyanko-sensei was more awesome. :P

Things that chase you are scary, thus, this gave me the chills. Great episode, but still not as good as ep 6, 7 and 8 (swallow, fox, firefly). Those made me cry.

Great episode; some action mixed with suspense. It’s a change with respect to all previous episodes.

Chibified Nyanko-sensei was cute~ And that shadow was scary.

Just one more episode ( ;__; )
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Chibi Nyanko-sensei FTW!!!! XD

This ep showed how dangerous the Ayakashis really are. That's a good change apart from the previous ones.

But still the great character development is there. :)

This episode was getting on my nerves. Srsly the cursed seal was more than enough but then the shadow was disturbing me terribly. I can't even feeling like creeping out. Good, this episode is over now.

Anyway, I suppose we won't get plot advancement in this season, but this is ok with me.

finally a creepy one. That little bird was so powerful, if only Natsume could summon it again, that would be a great help. I miss seeing Reiko in flashback btw.

What's up with this description of the black character:
"If he touches you then you're dead" and then seeing Natsume just casually walking beside him as he exits the house like "I don't give a f*** if I die"?!
