Just a wonderful episode. I really enjoyed this story in the manga and thought it transitioned well into the anime. The confrontation between Shigure and Natsume was quite awesome and the part right after when Sasada came in was very touching. Seems like next episode will be new for me, looking forward to it.

Somehow, Natsume turned out to be one of my favourites this season. Love the serenity of the anime.

This episode itself is pretty neat. Especially the lost Kappa.

Nyanko-sama is so awesome ;)

Again a very good episode, relaxing and insightful, I like this series.

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

This and Ryoko continue to be the only two shows that I actually care about this summer. By this point in the series everything seems to be set perfectly, especially the pacing which was really great this episode. It never felt like anything was dragging and the resolution to the story didn't feel rushed as was the case in the past couple of episodes. Instead things flowed smoothly, even when Nyanko-sensei provided some comedy relief, to retain both the calm atmosphere and melancholy filled moments splendidly.

Really well written. Normally, in anime, the highschool, creapy scary house story turns out like scooby-doo. This one is handled on a much higher level.

Liked this one a little more than the previous, but it's still definitely not one of my favorites of the season tbh. I liked the kappa though :)

this anime is really sweet and turned out to be one of the season's best. I love how every episode preview gives you the wrong idea about some cliche and then it turns out to be wholly different. Last epi the guy from the other class and this epi the class rep girl with her request.
Sure takes its time but it doesn't get either boring or "fillerish". Just the thing for summer!

Interesting that Nyanko-sensei looked like Reiko in human form. I wonder if there's any meaning in that.

Overall a really nice episode. I wonder if this girl will be involved in any future stories, since she believes in the spirits.

Awesome sauce. Was wishing Natsume would gain a somewhat normal person as a friend but it appears he is going to keep his distance from her. =/ Oh well we still have that other odd guy who can see their shadows.

Tsuchida Hiroshi.

Another wonderful episode. Sasada’s relation with the Youth God was really touching. Ah, I thought Natsume would be finally able to make a friend… I think Nyanko-sensei’s human form was actually Reiko’s appearance…?
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

This series might be about spirits and the supernatural, but I see very human stories in these episodes and a lot of depth and I'm starting to get used to its nature. Even if there's not a continuous narrative, there's this great feeling, humor and depth about it.

Oh and the artwork is fantastic! So far the character-designs and background music are a big plus!

And sexy human form is sexy!

Ah yes, Captain of the dodge ball team.... that will hold up under scrutiny. It's obvious that the class rep knows now--it's a pity that Natsume can't bring himself to trust her. Four episodes and I'm ready to bump this to nine...
Please don't feed the trolls!
In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student

I already thought it's gonna be this way. You know, something like Jigoku Shoujo.

Thanks to this comment I felt that I'm watching the wrong "first" season of this anime. Yeah, I've been watching Natsume Yuujinchou San up to now. Somewhat funny, isn't it?

I really want to see Natsume together with Sasada. She's somewhat cute.

And the Kappa was Cute
I've got the feeling Nyanko Seinsei might be Natsume's Grandmother after all.

Or... Madara from Naruto :P (Kakashi doing the Voice though)
