I feel a 3rd season coming, which might be doubtful but I wish there was one though.

Personally, I like how Natsume doesn't force an ending. Life isn't like that, freezing in place. It's obvious that there will always be more stories to tell, which I'm glad for.

That being said, I'd love a third season. <3

Beautiful ending, a very enjoyable anime, a 10 from me. Although I can still see areas which they can address which could make up a 3rd season which would be awesome =] but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Good ending and good series. I enjoyed the second season a little bit more than the first. Hope there will be another one.

As good as the first season, even if it took a different course in most episodes. I was quite apprehensive about Natori since the first time I saw him; I used to thought that, somehow, he would betray Natsume's trust, but I just loved that things didn't happen that way. He is very mysterious and almost always leaves an impression that he will surprise you, but always ends up being kind and helpful. In the end, he brought to Natsume great experiences and also led him to realize that he can not distinguish youkais and humans because, in both, the good ones and evil ones will always exist. And, hahaha, Nyanko-sensei and Natsume laughing at Natori's commercial on television was as great as the kids saying bad things to Natusme in the last episode (and this was mean, poor Natsume, he suffered so much xD), hahaha!

I loved these last episodes, I was very happy when Taki said that Tanuma had found the well, left that impression that Natsume can always count on them, that his friends would help him whenever it was needed. Difficult to explain, but it was pretty cool. I wish I could have seen in this season Natsume tell his parents about his ability, I bet they would be so understanding, because I think they already probably have a good idea. Oh, and Madara saying to Natsume that was better that things have happened that way for him when he first came to pick Yuujinchou was just wonderful! These two really get along, haha! Ah, Kai was such a cute Youkai. I was sad for him when he saw Natsume and Natori together, but I'm glad he was strong enough to stop those Oni by himself; he was really amazing. It was very nice to see he was still happy about everything in the end, when he was eating Taki's cookies with a smile in the face. I loved his story. ;D

Gee, so much to comment... I'm so sad because it's over. I could see 100 more episodes and I wouldn't get tired of this! Well, what to do... I just loved the whole series, each of the characters who appeared during the episodes contributed immensely to the development of Natsume as a person and was just wonderful watching these 26 episodes full of new experiences and brightness! I hope someday we can have a third season. ♥

I though that it was a great ending to this anime. I'll miss it. Hopefully they will make a 3rd season.

That Kai kid one of the best youkai in the whole series. And Natsume has learned a lot during his time with youkai.

I'm sad that it has ended but I still have hopes for a 3rd season and for now I'll go read the manga.

I don't know where to ask this so I'll ask here (since the animes I watch tend to be all over the place in terms of release date).

Does this show pick up (get more interesting) later on? I've seen 4 episodes of the first season and it seems to be pretty boring; slow paced, no drama, nothing really going on. I tried looking for reviews online but the only thing I can find is 2 people who really liked it but their opinions on other animes are REALLY different from my own. I'm guessing that it won't pick up for me and that you just have to have a taste for this kinda of show to enjoy it. This show ranks quite high on this site and I just want to know if the rest of the series is gonna be pretty much like episode 1-4 (4 episodes isn't that far into a series and many series I liked really picks up around ep. 8-10 or so).

The ending did not disappoint me at all. Sad to see another season over and hoping for a 3rd.

Natsume has grown not only to love the youkai but to except humans; even if he really doesn't trust them yet.

Well lets hope for another season. And it'd be awesome if we see a grown up Natsume!

A series like this doesn't really have a plot or an ending but every episode was worth it. <3

Everything about this episode was great, and I love how much of the human cast was integrated towards the end of the season. The beginning episodes weren't really up to par with the first season, though, so unfortunately I'll have to give it an 8/10. Maybe I'll bump it up to a 9 one day when I'm in a better mood. D:
Also, I vouch for a third season like many peeps here. :3

This anime coming to an end leaves me bittersweet. I was bummed that there wasn't another season to watch; that is, until I learned -just now- that this WAS the second season.

At least I have the first season to look forward to...? XD

Wonderful anime!! And like everyone else, I WANT A THIRD SEASON!! I don't want it to end just like that! T_T

This anime is peaceful, emotional and filled with kindness. Watching Natsume makes me empathize with his feelings of loneness and caring for other people ... isn't that weird and wonderful? :)

Nyanko-sensei is still the best for me! He's sooo cute and funny xD (mayby I've strange tastes too like Taki) As the opposite of caring Natsume, Nyanko balanced this anime from being too emotional filled. I say, he did a great job being the best friend of Natsume! Though they've never admitted themselves being best friends ^^

A great season, but not quite as good as the first. 8/10 from me. It lacked the emotional stuff that the first season had. But it's still very heartwarming and enjoyable.

Wonderful ending to a wonderful series.

I loved everything. Natsume has such a unique heart-warming aura; I’m going to really miss this show now that’s over. I wish it would go on forever; I want a new season, an OVA, movie, anything, it doesn’t matter which, to only watch more episodes. And if it could be endless…
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Tsundere nyanko sensei is tsundere. I wonder if he had a similar relationship with Reiko at some point.

A nice ending I suppose, although I want more, as everyone has already said. His guardians, more reiko, etc etc. I had hoped he would at least fess up to his guardians, but oh well. Again, here's hoping for a season 3.

Hell, I'd be stoked about a prequel season starring Reiko, about how she finally came to meet another human that accepts her and she loves enough to reproduce with.

Despite the overwhelming amount of homoerotic tension and shota BL subliminal messaging, I loved this series. 9/10

EDIT: It's sad that terribad shows like the typical shounen mainstream titles get 300-400 episodes, but the actual good anime get 26. Although I suppose if they gave natsume 400 eps it would end up full of trash as well.

Natsume Yuujinchou sure is a brilliant anime. All the touching and well thought out stories, interesting and fun flashbacks of Reiko. All the good characters and intriguing youkai. The animation/art and soundtrack creating a relaxing feeling and the overall pacing is great. Looking forward to the third season now!

I think this was a fitting ending to this season, seeing Natsume together with his friends and family but also with some youkai just shows us how much Natsume's character has developed throughout the second season.

When it comes to my overall feelings towards this second season I can't say I liked it more compared to the 1st season, I actually was a bit dissapointed, it just did not have the same emotional impact on me as the 1st season did. My favorite episodes from this season are episodes 4, 9 and 10.

Whoa, was that REIKO at the end?! I wonder if she's a spirit now then?
So glad I got through this in time for the third season! I'm really curious now to find out if Natsume will meet Reiko in some form...

At any rate, I really liked this last two-parter and finale. Very nice how Natsume has been able to form relationships with both humans and yokai. The conflict involving Natori and Kai was an interesting one, and I liked how Natsume was able to remain friends with both of them. I imagine we will see Kai again one day.

Can't wait to see how Natsume's character is developed further. TT.TT

Wasn't as great as I expected it to be but it still delivered a peaceful relaxing ending.

Nyanko-sensei and Natsume's relationship just got deeper. Reiko showing at the end was simply nice even though it's symbolic.

Overall, this gets a 9/10 although it's the same score from the prequel but this is a lot better than the latter.

3rd season, here I come.. :D

My exact sentiment. For whatever reason, the second season lacked the strong emotional core of the first season, or perhaps the novelty has just worn out for me. It was, however, much darker, and if you like that, then I could see why someone would prefer this season over the first. As far as I'm concerned, I was waiting for an episode to reach the brilliance of episodes 6-8 of the first season, and that just didn't happen. I was disappointed by that.


Anyway, still a great show with a lot of heart. And the stories were all very creative and unique, not to mention the production values are always high. I especially love the animation. 8/10

Just a thought I got from reading the other posts... Since Reiko was at the end... maybe she became a youkai? o.o Maybe she was cursed and became one, and everyone just said she "died".

Also, I liked the second season. However I think the first season did a better job, although this one was darker and there were a lot more Nyanko-sensei moments.

9/10 ! :D

Not a 10/10 because I was actually bored of it at one point (around ep.4-5)... then it picked up and got emotional and stuff.

Kai almost made me cry when he cried. He was an awesome youkai. I thought I would go into a rage when Kai left and I thought they weren't going to see him again, ever. But then Natsume said he would visit him and I was all happy again. :D

Kai sure is powerful, more so than Madara(?)
Reiko at the window left a nice touch. But i don't think shes a Youkai like some others have said, but I've been suspecting something like Reiko isn't actually just dead or something...... o.O IDK..

Well whatever..didn't love this season much as i did the 1st one, something was off..either way, it was still great!

Better ending than the one in Season 1. Although my favorite episode to now is ep 11 from this season.

1. Characters. +1. This time I feel even better about them, because of Taki. She was great at all the time. And Natori. O yeah, Natori!
2. Atmosphere. +1. M-m-m-m-m, this atmosphere... I liked it the best in episode 11.
3. OST. +1. Nice OP and great ED. Otherwise, the OST was good overall.
4. Animation. +1. This anime has great animation and now I'm used to the Ayakashi/Yoakai's unusual forms and I like them better then I did in the previous season.
5. Background story. +1. The background story we got for Reiko in ep. 10 was just great(be it the only episode involving Reiko at all).
6. Storyline. Well, there still isn't any kind of plot in this show, but I guess that fits just ok with this anime.
7. Ending. Not an actual ending, really, too good there are more seasons to come.
9. Drama. +1. This time we actually got some drama here and there, and I think it was nice. Season 1 mostly missed this aspect.
10. Overall feeling. +1. After this season I feel like I want to see much more of it. Natsume got better development, and other interesting characters beside him were involved in more than one episode(Taki, Natori ^__^).
Bonus(extra) point for:... I don't know what can I give score for here at this point, but if something comes into my mind I might edit it.
Overall score: 8/10.

Looking forward to the next season!
