| Nice to get back in the swing of Natsume, it's up on Crunchy Roll now by the way. So the beginning with the descriptions of the plot was abit annoying but then the epsiode was started and it is like we missed nothing, right back into it. |
| My anime list |
| This was a good way to start off the season. The humor seems to be a little more slapstick with Natsume punching the Youkai, Nyanko-sensei, and the black cat at the beginning, but I don't mind it. But the thing that took my breath away was Riou. Oh, God, Riou...I know he's fictional, but he's so beautifully drawn. It just goes to show you that not all Youkai have to look like lowly creatures. Overall, all the things we love about the first season are back: the action, the humor, the drama, everything. Welcome back, Natsume. |
 |
| I really like the ending. <3 (: |
 |
| okok for the first episode |
     |
| More of the same from the last season.. |
| Great episode, nice to see that the sequel is still consistently relaxing and fun to watch. |
| I really liked it as usual. |
 |
| Hah the black cat was awesome way cuter than nyanko sensei for some reason ><, i laughed hard when it ninja-d the yuujinchou. Looking forward to this season~ |
 |
| Its great to see that the quality of the stories and animation are the same from season 1. I think that I like the ending of season two more than the first one. Its kind of relaxing. For a moment there I thought that he was going to kiss Natsume. LOL |

david167 said: Great, so they look for the black cat but stumble upon a sort of Youkai festival/picnic. Good thing Honie comes back with a eye patch in the form of a butterfly on one of her eyes and lends a hand to Natsume. Allow me to explain:you see Natsume cannot into the festival to see if the black cat is hiding among those people Youkais because they can smell him as human. So Honie makes him a seal to seal that smell os they think he is part of them. I thought Madara called the butterfly youkai Benio-san? Anyway I really love the ED song <3 Usually I skip to the previews, but for this series I'll listen to it everytime ^^ |
 |
| Great episode for introducing the show to people who haven't watched season 1. Now... I hope the rest of the episodes to be as good as the last season's! |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| I really like the new ending theme song. And I love the snow! So quiet and peaceful... And the Master was a level-10 bishie. o_o |
| Very good first episode. As always it had some funny and touching moments. Animation quality seems to have improved and looks a lot more clear and detailed, which is awesome. |
 |
| Woah. What an amazing start!! Loved the OP and ED. The quality was great. I sense that it's going to be better than the prequel. Looking forward for more!!! :D |
| I really liked this episode. Here's hoping to a great sequel! |
| That episode was absolutely amazing! A perfect way to start off the second season. |
     |
| Couldn't ask for a more beautiful way to start the 2nd season. |
Vin-nii said: Looks like they also changed to a winter theme too... is that why Natsume's uniform is different than in season 1? |
| Good start for the series. I really hope this season turns out to be as great as the first season. |
| LOVE THE OP! :3 And no wonder this show has so many seasons!! This show is too damn beautiful!! ;~; |
| Awww the black cat is so adorable. I find it even cuter because it couldn't speak. XP |
| So the day when the fourth season of Natsume starts I am stuck with watching the second season -_-' lol I'll catch up eventually :) Oh and the ending is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! |
| There will be more than a few of us catching up. I have several marathons to do--however it is no burden when the original shows are as well done as Natsume... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Nice pilot episode. The OP was nice and the ED was even better. It seems that these brief meetings and goodbyes are really affecting Natsume after all. And he's yet to meet and part with so many yoakais... Btw, did the first snow just fall? Because, ironically, it looks like Natsume series revolve their seasons(of episodes) around seasons(autumn, winter..). |

| Awesome. The style hasn't changed since the first season. Looking forward to catching up to the 4th season. |
| Good first ep to begin with! An Ayakashi who likes human. =) The youkai at the start beside the soccer ball was hella scary too =_= |
| What a nice start to a new season! This episode was definitely very touching with a tranquiil ending as with the episodes of the previous season. I'm really beginning to understand why all four seasons are so ranked so high and are so popular! The kuro buta neko was so cute! I mean it's technically just a black version of Nyanko-sensei but he was adorable when Natsume gave him a bath and the part where he was just steaming and sitting on a cushion >< |
| the funniest moment was when Natsume realized that the black cat left those dirty footprints while walking casually and he punched the cat LMAO OP and ED = awesomeness. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
HappyAdventurer said: How does a youkai become an angel? I thought they were like spirits that were more similar and closer-related to demons right? Found that odd as well, maybe it was just a type of youkai that resembled an angel. |
 |
| Really great way to start the second season! Had quite a lovely atmosphere around the whole episode and well the ending sure was lovely! Let's see what this season has to offer us! |
 |
| The opening is amazing and easily in my top 15 openings of all time. |
| Nice and warm episode. Riou why his name if I'm not mistaken. I hope Touko-san gets more screen time too. |
 |
| So far so good! I hope there will be more Tanuma screen time, since he was a tease in the last season... Regarding the episode itself, I didn't seem to care much for Riou, but got a better understanding of the youkai community, which intrigues me ;) |
 |
| Loving the new OP/ED, both capture the mood of this series so well. The dark version of Madara was cracking me up, especially seeing them side by side like a collection of chubby cats. It's great to see this first episode capture the same great blend of comedy and warmth from season 1. |
 |
| Continuing with good and funny episodes :) |
| Still kind of bored by this series :c But hey, it's calming to watch. Nice ED theme :D |
| Smooth start, another enjoyable episode! |
 |
| Not a bad start, pleasant both in terms of history of storytelling, good script; I prefer the ending, the opening, the more sweet and cute. It starts with Natsume ! :) |
 |
| First episode of the second season, and keeps rhythm and forms the first season. It is a clear continuation. -- Primer episodio de la segunda temporada, y mantiene el ritmo y las formas que de la primera temporada. Es una clara continuación. |
