| I just realized Natsume has a first name. Takashi... woah, that feels weird to say. |
 ジリティック♡BEGINNER |
| Turns out to be a test. And finally learn his first name. |
| Another great episode, this series has grown to be a very enjoyable one. One more episode until the conclusion then onto the second season, chibi nyanko-sensei = awesome too xD |
| I really liked this episode and it was nice to see different sizedNyanko-senseis and to see Natsume do something awesome and to see him fit in and accept his family. |
 |
| 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. |

noteDhero said: Yeah, thats what i thought. Well looks like theres only 1 episode left..Nice episode...a little xxxholic mixed with Harry Potter. |
 |
| 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. |
| I love this series. |

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 |
 ~Heart & Thoughts With Japan~ |
| it reminds me of xxxHoLic |
 Are you the bloody applause monkey? Keep your sh*t comments to yourself or go troll on 4chan. |
| Nice episode overall.. Liked the return of Misuzu.. Testing Natsume... tskk.. what was he thinking?? Oh, nyanko sensei chibi and huge versions are just lol.. |
| Osu! <img src="http://osu.ppy.sh/stat2/Thunderwolf1989-2.png" border="0" />  |
| Pretty simple little episode, but still good. I love the tone and style of this series. |
| 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. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| 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. :) Last 1 to go.. |
| That shadow was creepy, especially when Natsume woke up to it. |
| Defenitely my favorite my episode so far! And that was creepy as hell! Small Nyanko was teh epitome of cuteness! |
 |
| This episode was cool :D I liked it a lot. |

noteDhero said: mixed with Harry Potter. This. 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. |
  |
| I'm pretty sure Natsume treasures himself. At least a little. He didn't want to die after all. |
| heartwarming |
| "one truth preveils" never was a bigger lie told in all of manga-land... |
| Merry was creepy.... |
| Creepy, indeed. |
 |
| After this I guess it's time to watch xxxholic. |
| 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. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| 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"?! Just... |

 |
| Found this a bit of a lesser good episode but well let's see what the last episode has to offer from this first season! |
 |
| Aw, man. I was rewatching this and totally forgot how awesome it was when Touko chewed out Natsume, half-screaming. My heart. (//o￣ ◇￣)o〜♡ |
 |
| Hinoe is awesome, good ep. |
| Wow that shadowy thing was creepy af. Hinoe is probably my favorite character so far. |
 |
| chibi nyanko sensei... xD~ yes.. Hinoe so cool ~ |
| I missed the character of Hinoe, but also review Misuzu, it is not bad. The story tells us about the world of Ayakashi and who animates it, but in truth it turns out that is not only the goal of the narrative, good episode overall, I hope that will give more space to Hinoe right in the future to learn more about his character. Nyanko-sensei fun, we have come to the end, now moves to the second season. |
 |
| This episode definitely had more tension going than any of the previous ones. The little bird turning out to be powerful after all was very predictable, though! Really liked how Touko whaled on Natsume, I absolutely love her character. Of course she would be worried sick. I'm glad Natsume found his home. |
Plate said: 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. YES the best episode so far |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Oh wow this was one of the best episodes yet. Loved the little action where Natsume had to summon a light spirit to eradicate the shadow. And I guess Misuzu and Hinoe are just gonna chill around with their names stuck in The Book of Friends? I kind of like that, so Natsume will have more developing relationships with more than one yokai. Can't believe season 1 is almost over already. |
| It's nice to see Natsume have a place to call home after those previous bad experiences with other relatives. Makes you wonder though, is this because of the fact that he doesn't tell them he can see spirits or because they're just really nice people? I think it's a bit of both. |
|
| Merry is creepy af LOL Hinoe is cute fawning over Reiko like that. I liked her ^.^ |
| The last scene when he got scolded by Touko was kinda nice. Just showed again how nice the place is he has and how much he overthinks some things he does. They are glad to have him there. |
| That shadow was creepy. Touko-san was really worried about him, she loves him, sweet. |
 |
| Nice episode, looking forward to more Hinoe ^^ |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| There might be a cool video game concept made out of avoiding a bunch of those shadow beings. |
 |
| Felt like a mini horror movie. Really enjoyed seeing Madara being a chibi. |
 |
| interesting episode, was wondering when we'd get at least one scene of Natsume summoning someone from the book xD can't say i'm not disappointed though. Hinoe seems like an interesting character, most likely the president of the youkai "Reiko fanclub" association and has all of her merch. Nah but fr hope we see Hino and Misuzu return, maybe a few more summonings from the book while we're at it. also what the shit was that bird? just kinda hovered there, let out a flashbang and then *poof* lmao what an ability, killed a high rated spirit just like that. |
 "yabe." |
| Hinoe is so cool! I need more of her |
| This episode was dangerous and creepy for Natsume. "It was all a test" :( |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain.
