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!

Wrapped up in lush, verdant fields and the nostalgic warmth of the countryside, Natsume Yuujinchou returns with its heartwarming sentimentality that we've all grown to love.

Season 7 continues to be a wistful and heartfelt musing on compassion and connections. An episodic compendium of warmth that takes its audience on a snug, mystical, and down to earth trip. This season somehow manages to concentrate and refine all of the series' best parts. And for that reason, I am very confident to say that this is Natsuyuu's best season to date.

The audiovisual remains as great as ever. As Natsume's daily life is adorned with simple, yet beautifully ... picturesque backdrops, soothing, mystical, and tranquil music would ensue. Simple, yet remains very effective and beautful. The artwork and music go hand in hand to perfectly depict the unique and special mood this series has. An ethereal and nostalgic feel that perfectly complements the stories it wants to tell.

Stories of supernatural are dime a dozen, so what makes Natsuyuu so special? I'd like to say that this show's truly unique and special atmosphere is a big reason. An atmosphere that permeates and haunts the very same stories that drives the show. Feelings of regret, nostalgia, poignancy, and tranquility all intertwine and feed off of each other to beautifully depict the stories, feelings, and messages the show wants to convey. Stories that seem simple on the surface take on a whole different vibe and meaning when coated with the show's unique feel. Stories that aim to tell widely different tales that tell widely different life messages. Natsuyuu's thoughtfulness combined with its unique atmosphere is what truly elevates it.

I'd also like to praise its eagerness to be relatable to anyone who tries to engage with it. It has a little bit of everything for everyone, while staying consistent to its overarching premise. Different tales and messages all beautifully conveyed through the lens of a troubled and ever so relatable young man. Natsume is not only the perfect vehicle that moves this show forward, he also serves as a mirror to the audience. Initially, it's shown that Natsume is a very lonely person. To him, it's as if he's the only person in the world, burdened with having to see and entangle with the supernatural. We then see how he handles that loneliness and change as a person throughout the series. And while Natsume's journey doesn't stop here, this season truly feels like the culmination of all the things he's unknowingly achieved and done for himself throughout the seasons. Natsume's journey of self discovery compels us to contemplate and reflect on our own journey in life. From being a lonely, depressive person, to eventually having a group of people that love and cherish you for who you are. From being so deeply hurt and untrusting, to eventually having the heart to confide in others with your issues, and even your life. For those who share the same feelings of loneliness, this series wants you to know that it does get better. You might not think so, and Natsume didn't either,

But it will get better. it should. you'll grieve, you'll feel empty, and it won't be easy, but the sun will rise for you too. and life will continue. and it will.

Mellow, tranquil, and heartfelt, Natsume Yuujinchou remains as one of the best of its kind, A slice of life and iyashikei masterpiece with a lot of stories to tell, and a lot more heart to give.

The amazing heartwarming anime comes back with another season after 7 years and it delivered like always,the adventure of our simple kind protagonist with his silly cat continues with new encounters with new youkai as always,this anime as always will make you sit and wonder soo much things about life, there is a good amount of progression about the things we know and char development to an extent is also there.
