Best episode so far, I really enjoyed this one. Nyanko-sensei was hialrious again and the Youkais are getting more and more interesting. I wonder if Natsume will make use of some of the Youkais at some point since they're so easy to command as long as their names are written in the book.

it was pretty good. would be better in my opinion if there were more scary/mysterious youkais and less funny/clumsy ones out there.

Best episode yet, though I wonder when we'll see cooler Youkai (as in, scarier or more dangerous).

Great episode as always, this series is very calm, still intense and packed with strange apparitions and nice stories each episode.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I dunno, I guess I'm the only one but I didn't find this episode too great. This series is just kinda bleh to me so far, quite honestly. If the youkai were actually more like monsters, maybe it'd be a bit better. I dunno...

Yea..those who havent watched so many animes are probably thinking so.. I know I would like 3-4 years back need more action and blood.. But once one has seen all the kickass youkai action one wants something more calm later on..

Trust me on that ;p since we seem to have 88% compatibility ratio =)

Another great episode~
Nyanko sensei killed me with the "sexy belly dance". XD
I wonder if it'll start to get a whole lot darker...
Regardless, I'll probably enjoy the rest as it comes out if it stays on this track.

Agreed with this getting better as it progresses. In particular I'm really fond of the way Natsume is torn between humans and youkai, especially considering one group, from Natsume's perspective as a child, was constantly tormenting him while the other he hasn't been able to establish strong relationships with due to being different. Obviously being an outcast isn't something foreign to anime, but much like other parts of this show that don't mind walking along an already cleared path it does it so well that it shouldn't have to go out of it's way to be original.

As for whether it will get darker or if there will be more monster-esque youkai I'm really hoping it won't since it's already treading a fine line between "really good show that doesn't have to reinvent the wheel" and "haven't I seen this show several times before?"

It was ok, but I liked the last one much better.

This one was a bit boring. Only the part with the not-human girl talking to him, was great.

I just thing the idea is so completely diffrent from the most of the other series I have seen. It's like;

Hmm, a book filled with sealed spirits, I could use them to save the world (Or Claim it :P)... But let us just release them instead...

I wouldn't say it beat episode 2, personally (hard to beat that ending), but I did enjoy it and I'm glad that it seems to be keeping the same feel even with other human characters.

I'm really liking this series so far. I just hope they keep the youkais wacky and light hearted. It's nice to watch a series thats just calm and doesn't try to be too suspenseful and dark.

Awsome episode, the best so far ^^ I really like Nyako-sensei, he can be hilarious sometimes, but when he shows his real self, to quote CCSakura "I go all hanyaaaaan"
And I really enjoyed the flashback =) This series is becoming more and more interesting

I don't like the opening and the ending, though, too soft and lame :P

I didn't expect Natsume Yuujinchou to be so funny! Nyanko-sensei, the cheerleading youkai, the 'sexual harassment'... I don't often laugh out loud at anime, but this had me rolling around in my chair. Great stuff!

I had a moment when the massive horse demon showed up - kimono, hooves and all - when I just went, 'SO COOOOOL.' Favourite youkai so far, y/n?

So, SO good.

I kind of hope for a big villain and some action a bit, but just being a nice calm series is the show's strong point so we will see.

Only show I picked up this summer.

Another relaxing yet interesting episode.

tanuma seemed kind of suspicious with those smirks he was giving off earlier..
