| I so so SO FRIGGIN EXCITED!!!! Natsume Yuujinchou is my favorite anime ever, and holds a very special place in my heart! I'm literally crying tears because I've missed this series so much. The music totally brings me back. The nostalgia hits really hard. I can't wait to hear Natsume's voice again. It's what started my love for Kamiya Hiroshi's voice acting. This is comfort anime to the max TvT |
