A public recording event for Natsume Yuujinchou franchise held on Sunday titled "Aki no Katarai" ("Fall Chat") has announced that a movie for the series is in production, and will premiere in 2018 to commemorate its 10th anniversary. The movie will be animated by Shuka and main two cast members, Hiroshi Kamiya and Kazuhiko Inoue, will reprise their roles.

Drawn by Yuki Midorikawa, Natsume Yuujinchou began its publication via Hakusensha's LaLa DX magazine in 2003, and moved to LaLa magazine in 2008. The series currently has 22 compiled volumes in print, with the latest released on September 5. Brain's Base adapted the manga into a TV anime in Summer 2008 and produced three more seasons before studio Shuka took over the production in Fall 2016 for the fifth and sixth season.

Ngl this isn't really the most optimal series to make films out of. Given how slow it is, watching like 90 mins in one sitting (or however long the film turns out to be) would quite likely get a bit boring. Natsume is made for watching weekly

Umm i strongly disagree, since i binge-watched 5 seasons in a sprint. Many episodes without stopping...

I wonder if the movie version will conclude the whole series?

A pleasant surprise, but it'll be interesting to see how they do this considering the way the episodes are usually done: will this be some major arc from the manga (are there many of those?) all in one film, or it will it be some kind of original story that serves as some sort of conclusion? As long as it's not an extended recap, it should be worth watching.

not gonna happen since manga is still on going and lot of thing still unresolved.. we even got hint about natsume grandfather as well, which still nothing other than mentioned around 20 chapter ago...

i am more concerned what arc they will adapted don't tell me it was the arc where natori discovering
... or is it going to be original? there are too many things unadapted yet....

Why ? It has been proven before that this author's work can be well adapted into a movie, as presented in Hotarubi no Mori e. Sure Natsume has a more episodic nature but it's possible if they adapt a longer arc that would usually take 2-3 episodes in TV format.

You're not wrong about that I guess. I guess I really prefer getting my dose of Natsume weekly. But yeah, if they adapt a lengthy arc, or if they make an anime-original movie (with hopefully the original mangaka writing it), then I guess a movie would work.

I think it is going to be an original story and not from the manga, since usually anniversaries' works are mostly like that. But whatever is fine, as long as we get to see more Natsume <3

Wonderful! I agree that the anime is mostly slow and not made for binging, but we've had plenty of two-parters. It's Natsume so it's bound to be good.

Yeah we all expecting another four or more years of waiting considering that the manga itself are bi-monthly published for only a chapter. So i also wonder where they could have the materials for the movie only in a year?

But whatever, i love Natsume. Any Natsume Yuujinchou thing will fine for me.
