Natsume Yuujinchou and Gingitsune gives off a supernatural and slice of life feeling in a story filled with serene atmosphere.
The main characters from both series possesses the ability to see what others cannot. What they see though is a supernatural being whom they have an odd relationship with. However, they often are able to collaborate together to serve their communities and bring peace to their worlds.
There is lighthearted comedy, meaningful dialogues, and fun interactions between various characters.
Gingitsune shares has a few themes in common with Natsume. Both anime leave me with the happy/sad feelings that I have grown to love from Natsume.
One reason anime is popular outside of Japan is that some shows act as ambassadors for Japanese culture. Both of these shows feature a protagonist who can see creatures from Shinto mythology/folklore in a world where most people cannot. Gingitsune brings the story on a small shrine, and invites the viewer to learn more about what goes on in a Shinto shrine. Both shows have a heartwarming slice-of-life feel to them.
