| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, Natsume knows mystery when he sees it especially when it's about strange patterns. The episode had a mysterious feel to it as Natsume undertakes a case and whether a youkai was involved or not. Not bad for the episode. Oh and I always find it funny whenever Madara gets drunk lol |
 |
| An image on the rock? And multiple of it. Ishiarai, the youkai cleans the dirtied rocks. Image gone when done cleaning, though. He really met one. The youkai talks about that young youkai he made a student and is proud of. That young youkai seems to be missing. All the youkai Natsume know helped out. So it got caught, mistaken for a youkai dirtying the rock. It got sealed and got dirtied, so it cannot be Ishiarai anymore... So the rocks at the river is by it. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| So the paintings had a story to tell and a nice one at that. It was good too see everyone helping out and we even got an happy ending making this a enjoyable episode. |
| Another beautiful episode. I have never been disappointed. Though, I would love for the exorcist that did that to Azuma to slip off the edge of a cliff and break a leg. |
 |
| lovely,as always next week it's gonna be some of my fave chapters^^ |
| Wonderful episode. The OP & ED are so lovely to listen to. Great to see Hinoe, One-Eye & the Bull Youkai again. So funny when everyone hangs out in Natsume's room. Love drunk Nyanko Sensei. Nice to see the Dog Circle help out. Glad Nanamaki was able to find Azuma in the end. |

| Stupid amateur exorcists. They need to be gobbled up, or for a change, actually taught something. I'm loving both the OP and the ED, they fit the show perfectly. I wonder what it is that makes Nyanko-sensei freak out in the OP, though. Feels like I'm missing something. It was interesting how Natsume didn't jump headlong into the youkai's issue in this episode, like he usually does (even Nyanko-sensei noted that). I still don't get why he was suddenly so cautious - maybe he actually learnt his lesson for once from getting turned into a child and losing his memories in the previous episode? Another interesting aspect was him thinking about the day he would leave the Fujiwaras and that town. I wonder if the plot will ever progress that far. |
| Such a beautiful episode. This show never fails to make me feel happy and relaxed! |
 |
| a cleaner/purifier stone youkai!!! This youkai, name Nanamaki, that draw a flower on the stones to purify them. The draw are beautful. Is a interesting plot, with a nice character, although a little joker..funny episode, even the night sake party wiht the Kappa too kekeke |
| The pace of this show is brilliant(acc. to the plot). It always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. |
| Another great episode, can't wait for more |
 |
| Great episode, though it's a shame that amateur exorcists can unwittingly cause so many problems and take away a Youkai's purpose like that. Still, at least Azama and Nanamaki got a happy ending to finish the episode with. |
| Such a sad story...and I love those. I kinda miss Natsume's book though. Won't any youkai come to ask for their name? I also missed Natsume's legendary punches. They're always hilarious! |
 |
| It was nice to see the Dog's Circle again, though it was a bit surprising to see Hinoe confirming that she's also part of it. The animation during the purifying scene was majestic and a feast for the eyes. When Natsume shared the story about stonewasher with Taki and Tanuma without being forced, it gave me many strong heartwarming feelings. Looking forward to seeing Shibata again. |

| I appreciate them trying to show off the stone washing ritual, but shouldn't Natsume's punch be able to break the seal? Most professional exorcist has commented on his spiritual powers, and the one who put a seal on the rock is said to be a beginner.. |
 |
UndeadCalamari said: But would his hand be okay from punching a rock? I feel like he'd have broke his hand trying that. Anyway, lovely episode and very touching like always. I'm amazed at how consistent this series has been. Were you being serious or...? I know Natsume is frail but he isn't a baby. |
|
| Wow! The desire to Natsume, to share what he sees and that others can not, is becoming bigger and bigger and this means a lot in terms of growth. So gentle this episode, and fantastic backgrounds in which events occur, I love them! <3 |
 |
| Only Natsume Yuujinchou can bring episodic stories and make you feel it like the stories has been for a long time enough to shred some tears and a warmth inside your heart, its incredible how it delivers the feels, also the Soundtrack and animation makes it even better! can't wait for next episode |

| thank you for the weekly tears, natsume yuujinchou anime. also next episode looks like it's going to be super interesting!! |
| perfect episode... gosh.. why this anime so good! i heard hosoya's voice... next week will find out what kind of character he plays |
| beautiful episode! |
 |
| The Dog's Circle sure love that title. :D I love the fact that Hinoe is also very enthusiastic about being part of it. xD Natsume casually talking about youkai to Tanuma and Taki was such a pleasant surprise! I'm kind of getting a feeling that the day when he reveals the truth to Touko and Shigeru is not far away. |
| Yet another beautiful episode. Really, this series never ceases to disappoint or anything. |
  |
| Another episode that manages to tug my heartstrings. |
| I love episodes when Natsume helps a youkai, it brings out his best traits:kindness and selflessness :) This episode was bittersweet, but more sweet than bitter because the stonewasher and Azuma reunited and are now traveling together( even though it means they can never go back to their beautiful village, which is sad to hear). Also, the flowers were very beautiful and the purification scene was very fantastic, especially the colors! |
| really miss giving name back ritual... but it's still amazing episode... always love natsume development... by little he's starting to depend on human and yokai... Dog circle is funny as alway... the purification scene was beautiful... |
LittleLynkx said: I'm so glad they can actually continue the show like this and the previous season without running the show dry.. It helps that the manga is still ongoing so they have plenty of material to work with, without having to resort to making stories up themselves |
| Fairly good episode, didn't emotionally connect with me though. |

de_struct said: This episode remind me of something. It made me remember when i had to leave my parents home, will i get a place as good as this place? I envy that dilemma. |

And I wish there were more "fillers". I'm very picky when consuming fiction, but Natsume never disappointed me, ever. I mean, they didn't even dive to the "Meh.. It's decent" level, ever. All the episodes are just amazing. I'm absolutely amazed how high the production quality is. Yuki Midorikawa and the anime team should be granted godhood and 72 virgins and the whole thing. |

I wholeheartedly agree. I can't even differentiate fillers from 'canon' materials until I've read the manga. |

de_struct said: d388 said: I envy that dilemma. Whats wrong? Deep in my heart, i like my home, because i dont need to think my daily need. But i love it when i decide to go. It made me appreciate those feeling Nothing is wrong. I just reflected on the fact that many of us were eagerly watching the hand of the clock move, waiting for it to signal the day we finished high school so we could move away from our crappy families. So, in a post-Natsume, emotionally-heightened state, I expressed my benevolent envy towards your fond memories of your childhood nest. |
| Another sad but beautiful episode If I knew who's that exorcist, I'll beat them.. just like what a certain person will do in Toshokan Sensou xD Not a very important episode but I enjoyed it! |
"Signature removed"   |
| Another very lovely episode! Really looking forward what kind of story the next episode has to offer! |
 |
| Didn't feel this one either : / At least they found the stonewasher kid I guess. |
 |
| God, why is this anime destroying me all the time ;__; |
| Poor stonewashers.. if only it were so easy to keep moving and start all over again. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| A stupid exorcist messed up and ruined his dream, damn it all! |
