Natsume Yuujinchou Shichi

After 6 long years, Natsume Yuujinchou finally returns with a brand new season! And yes, it was worth the wait.

To put it very simply, it's just like it's previous 6 seasons, in all the best ways possible. Despite having over 70 episodes, every story told feels fresh and interesting, it seems like this series never runs out of material. The fact this anime is still able to surprise me with it's stories sometimes goes to show that it really is a very beautifully and carefully written series with a lot of love put into it. The atmosphere is always on point, the music is as ... beautiful as ever, the episode plots are heartwarming and the characters are consistent and lovable. Studio Shuka has also once again done a great job with the animation. It's definitely improved a lot compared to season 1, with it's softer linework and colors.

While this season is only halfway done airing at the time of me writing this, I have no doubt that the upcoming episodes will also deliver the same quality as the show always has. I genuinely want this show to go on for as long as I live, it's just THAT good.

Whether you're a longtime fan or someone who's brand new to the franchise, Natsume Yuujinchou Shichi is absolutely worth watching, it's one of the best Iyashikei shows out there!
