Not my favorite opening song, but the visuals. Oh my god. They were beautiful. Nice to see this anime return.

Young Natsume was so adorable!

The OP is so meaningful and beautiful!! It made it even more precious how the first episode was an extension of the analogy in the OP. Such a lovely pairing. And always such a warm tear jerking experience looking into Natsume's world. I laughed so much when sensei thought of taking young Natsume to Natori. It was so hilarious. I'm sure Natori would have taken good care of him though. But it was nice that it was Taki and Tanuma. Their bond has definitely gotten stronger with this experience. Plus its really nice to see how much emotional growth and love Natsume has experienced since moving to this town. He no longer has to be sad and alone anymore. Really sweet.

I am so glad this came back as quickly as it did. I had already gotten back to reading the manga after Natsume 5 ended-because well Natsume is my baby, but I'm so glad 6 came out this fast. Now I have 2 anime to look forward to every week (this and Shingeki no Kyojin 2). Okaeri watashi no Natsume.
hahaha Naru, also how I felt when I learned how to read all my Kana. Barakamon is everything!!:'D

Natsume is back, heartwarming as usual..
The OP is really good this time. The opening is really colorful. ED song is okay.
I read this chapter before but still it still has its feels.
Well, this anime is the one that I will always watch even thou it wont never end.
Excellent episode 5/5

As a start to the season, it was enjoyable. The narrative remains as usual melancholy, funny and profound in its motivations. The quality of the drawings and animations, is quite good. I am glad that this show has a new animated season.

They picked a very good chapter to adapt! Beautiful as always and that ED is perfect!
Although this episode did feel a little rushed with pacing, there was no 'breathing room' feel that I think Natsume Yuujinchou usually just gives you to process the emotions that Natsume always comes to find and that's a shame. I also felt that the OST was a little overdone in some areas as well

Great first episode of the new season! I thought that Taki was going to go into motherly mode over little Natsume.

I hope this season explores more of Natsume's past and further develops his character.

And how about a romantic interest? I've been asking for it since season one!

There won't be one. The whole reason this story was started in the first place is because the author was tired of her editors forcing romance into her stories.

ahhhhhh yes Natsume is back!!!

Honestly I don't know what it is about this anime that makes it so special. It just is. It kinda feels like it has that Disney magic or Nintendo magic that you can't quite put your finger on why you like it, you just do.

That's not to say I'm putting it down in any way. Just hard to explain why I love it so much.

the OP by Sako was so good but why he should be so gay? I honestly can't bear with his other songs which is a shame since Floria was pretty great.

Also, I might commit a crime

After the previous season's lackluster performance this episode really brought the series back to where it was before. The drama felt forced for a "first episode" and we've seen this topic before in this series, but despite the circumstances of his condition his concerns and anxieties as a child are extremely relatable. I'm quite envious that Natsume managed to find two people to lean on.

The OP is the most beautiful and nostalgic thing ever. Finally we get to see an episode about Natsume's friendship with Taki and Tanuma. I honestly watched it again after the ED song finished and can confirm that waiting for next week's episode is going to be torture.

seeing young natsume happy for once made me so happy yet felt it was so heart breaking when he was talking about how a normal life for a human being was like a fairy tail . man .. he really makes me feel sad . great episode btw and i really liked the ending song

I know right. It's always so heart breaking to see cute little natsume. It always gets to me the way Natsume didn't seem to believe that he actually had friends in the future T_T. The op and ed were fantastic, they did not hold back on the coloring and beauty department.

not long ago, I watched all previous season of Natsume Yuujinchou, and I loved it. Although it didn't have romance, but it surprisingly make me addicted and make me want to continue following Roku season.
Opening music was good, I liked it. This episode about youkai head get stuck in vase, and I already read it in the manga. Somehow, I prefer watch the anime than read the manga.

Why did I feel that Taki's voice is different? I hear her voice is like Koyuki's voice in Fuuka, or Shirayuki's in Akgami no Shirayuki. Did her voice actress replaced?

Awwwww yesss, NY is back!

I ship Taki with Tanuma now. It was like they were having a kid and a cat, cute.

I like OP animation very much but prefer ED song, nothing to complain about tho.

It looks like previous season was a test to see if there are still fans wanting more of it. And it seems we haven't dissapointed :)

Nyanko sensei are we friends. Nope, we're just bound by fate. this is the line i was expecting. this is not necessarily my favorite chapter of the series but that line at the end of the manga was what i was waiting for and its not what i got. disappointed.

Overall good episode, is it just me or does taki look more like a mum. also found it a bit strange that they used one of the more recent chapters rather then one of the older.

Best opening of natsume yuujinchou by far, nice song and beautiful visuals

I like this show but at the same time I'm starting to feel like the overall story isn't really going anywhere...particularly with the side characters. The story arcs for many of the people around Natsume feel like they've just stalled. It makes me feel like there's really not much point in having them in the show at all.

Maybe it's my fault for not doing enough research into this before I started watching. As I've said before, I do like the show, but I also like being able to see some kind of ending on the horizon.

This episode is so cute. I squee when Nyanko-sensei said he's only there because he's just stuck with Natsume. XD

Having Shonen T sang the OP is also a lovely surprise.
