@Shinigami_death No, Soko didn't die. She just had poor health, which led to Reiko misinterpreting her disappearance as no longer
wanting to associate with her after learning about her true identity.
@bboy_OatsnRice oh that’s good to know she didn’t die.. thanxx for clearing it up

That's how I feel 😭 because of the story of Reiko, Souko, and the first youkai whose name Reiko won.

▫Everything in Natsume Yuujinchou is beautiful.

Beautiful, the story of how Reiko acquired the book of friends.

she wanted friends and people to play games with

Soko impacted her deeply, it's so sad that they end up not seeing each other after. the anguish the yokai felt for knowing but not able to tell and be heard that both girls cared for each other and wanted to be closer

soko not seeing the flowers, her being sick and not coming after but reiko misinterpreting... ugh

I just love this show. Nuff said.
“Are there some unseen roles that we have unknowingly set ourselves into, dictating the rules of engagement whenever we see each other, inevitably leading to us hurting each other?”

It was an important episode to understand the reason behind Reiko's cold and untrustful, yet strong and thoughtful character. If things had gone well, she would have become friends with a girl who was about to break through the barriers she had built around herself to keep people away. I wonder, if the little mischievous youkai hadn't suddenly intervened in the game, would Reiko still have deliberately missed the target.

🥲🥲🥲 augh i love Reiko episodes

I'm a sucker for symbolism. The flowers kinda look like Evolvulus glomeratus (blue daze)
from google:
¨Blue Daze symbolizes serenity and loyalty, reflecting deep emotional connections.¨

I ain't crying damn, I...

How frustrating must have been for the yokai to not able to do anything. TsudaKen's voice on top, the emotions overflowing.

I wish we knew more about Reiko, besides the brief glimpses we have of her. More Reiko episodes would make me happy. At least now we have the origins of the Book of Friends.

This particular Reiko episode is amazing and this one with that tragic misunderstanding made me cry.

nice backstory on how reiko started gathering yokai names & established her book of friends. but it was sad for all three parties involved that they never received any closure after reiko told soko her real name.

Hmm it was good but I don't think it was as good as other Natsume seasons, I think manga is better in general. Also am I the only one who thinks that anime Natori doesn’t do justice to the manga Natori? I don't know if it's his voice or sth but Natori is my fav so I always notice that there's sth off about anime Natori compared to the manga one.

@Himitsu1237 I think it's all in your mind.

And is this really the place to write such inappropriate remarks? People are sharing their emotions about ep 11, by the way.

Don't make me laugh, I have the same right to write my opinions as everyone else here, who exactly are you to try to put some kind of censorship over me?

Yep, this season def wasn't as good as previous ones, hoping the 8th will be better!

@Himitsu1237 Oops, censorship. I'm just logically explaining that you don't need to be a killjoy about the best Natsume episode all time.

People usually write their opinion of the season on the last episode thread. You'll learn next time.

And also you'll learn to notify the person you're addressing your comment to next time.

A lovely episode of how Reiko gets the name of the first yokai in the Book of Friends. The yokai tells Natsume of how Reiko and a girl name Shoko enjoys each other company whilst in the forest.

Brought to tears in this episode. The loneliness and understanding of true beauty in the world and relationships however fleeting they may be, being able to hold so many feelings. The music, the animation. I dont know if there will be another season or how far off that may be. I love this anime so much its crazy.
