The characters and stories in this show require an intellectual and emotional maturity most people lack.

I don't understand why Reiko would keep her distance to the yokai too.


I haven't read the manga further than where the show is, but I think the mangaka will address that one day. But for now, if I had to guess, I would say Reiko is afraid of creating connections with others, for whatever reason.

Fantastic episode.
Hopefully we get to see Reiko at least once after she became a mother. So far all the flashbacks (that I remember) have been of her when she was around Natsume's age.

Not that it wasn't a good episode (for me the entire series has been amazing) but episodes 6 & 7 are kinda frustrating after episode 5s cliffhanger.

A Reiko's episode, and it will be good too if we got more of her :)
A bit different than usual episode but I like it too. Reiko managed to beat Senki and Hyakkou in the end. And in this episode, we also know that Reiko has more problems with her family.

The wedding in the end to end this episode is really beautiful. The scenery is really nostalgic and lucky for Natsume, he could attend Gomochi and Kibune wedding party. I could say this is a really sweet episode.

Another wonderful episode for this show, I'm glad to see Reiko again, she saved Kibune but she did not manage to attend the wedding. The grandson, Takashi replaced her instead.

What a lovely episode. Really dug the visuals on this one.



If I do have a (very minor) complain though - it would be the somewhat-still animation of Hyakko&Senki's mouths during speech, which lead to some awkward moments (I think that it might've been better to go with the approach of having their mouths completely shut while speaking, like other Youkai.)

That was definitely my favourite episode of the season so far.
Plenty of interesting youkai in this one and it's always good to see some more backstory with Reiko.

good episode.
Really would like to see natsume show strength and backbone like her, and beat the yokai attacking him on the ground with some badass foot kick or punch on their face, instead of stay the helpless guy always depending to madara and natori to save his ass. after 6 seasons, it would be time to him able to defend and fight back by himself.


umm,do we watch completely different anime or.....?
Natsume punched so many yokai through the duration of this series it can be drinking game.
This is not a fighting shonen anime though...so if you are looking for fights,this is not anime for it.


Anyway,it was another perfect beautiful episode and my fragile soul was touched and i teared up again. Reiko is/was amazing...........(i wish she married Kibune,hah).

A surprising episode, as I didn't expect we'd hear much about Reiko this season (I don't read the manga). It was also so different than the usual stories other Yokai have about her. The wedding was beautiful, and it's refreshing to see a hidden side to Reiko's personality!

It amazes me how this series can feel so peaceful and friendly without ever feeling cheesy.
Very interesting how rational and nice the youkai were in this episode, too.

Aww, what a cute episode! The wedding scene was beautiful.

It was nice to see a bit different side to Reiko.

Also, this. I love this answer.

I know but one, it was rarely happen, and most of punches were for comical purpose against nyanko/madara, the natusme dogs club or average yokai who didn't attempt attack natsume but more surprised him. we almost never seen (maybe only one or two times) natsume kicking as true self defense against nasty/bad yokai really want attempting to his life.

Youkai is a lucky bastard, Reiko's merit, if he could marry that beautiful girl. XD
A good episode that increases the charisma of Reiko and showing even better disposition and her wishes.

This was such a sweet episode. I was glad to learn that Reiko made friends without taking their names and getting into fights. Natsume got to finally be proud of his grandmother.

The word that comes to mind when I think about this series is "beauty." I feel like this episode exemplified just that!

+Natsume being both sad and proud of his grandmother makes me so :*(

Not sure why Reiko keeps pushing away friendly yokai by never visiting them again once they warm up to her. It's not like they're the same as the people who have hurt her.

More Reiko is always welcome. Reiko seemed to have kept pushing connections away, while Takashi went on to accept them more. I wonder who she had kids with.

The best moment:


So many yokai pitched in and helped Reiko in her second bet. She's such an independent and reclusive individual, so it's nice seeing her seek assistance from others. Even if she's using them, it's for a good cause, and they're all volunteers (except that poor yokai she threatened to chop its tail off). It's situations like this that lead me to pondering the "what if" scenario of her attempting to socialize with other humans more like Natsume has. Reiko would've been good in a leader role. She definitely had the commanding presence and authoritative tone for it (used to a healthy degree, of course).

We get to see more of Reiko's story when a youkai named Gomochi comes to thank Reiko and update her. Natsume learns more of his grandmother from hearing his story and interaction with Reiko.
