Aahh, Natsume is just love. ♥

I loved how much character development there was in this episode!

Hiiragi's words to Houdzuki's followers about trusting their master completely was so touching, as was Natori's reaction to hearing those words. Natori is also beginning to show concern for Hiiragi, making sure she rests; contrast that to his insistence that youkai don't get sick in Zoku~. The situations are different, sure, but still.

Sensei risking being cursed by a God to protect Natsume. It's more obvious now than ever that it's not just the Book of Friends Sensei's after.


I like how Natori gets some character development too :) At first, I didn't like him completely, but now he's definitely become more caring about his assistants as well as not sealing just any youkai being requested to seal. I was surprised at the end that it seemed like Fuzukigami and Houzukigami were friends...that was really touching. And yes, so was Madara trying to protect Natsume. Although we already knew this, but this really shows how much Madara cares for Natsume ^^

The way the matter about the festival was solved was great tho it's sad that the festival isn't celebrated anymore.
Old traditions disappearing is something that happens worldwide and in many cases it's a shame tho something they make place for new traditions.
I do have to say however that traditions are a importuned part of one culture and they should not be forgotten.

I know what you mean, I love learning about traditions, and love celebrating those traditions with my family as well. It's really sad that people forget about these as they become preoccupied with other stuff .

More than finding sad, this second part of the story, I found it much fun, merit of Nyanko-sensei. But the story told is not trivial or uninteresting, but it is yet another reproach to humanity and its flaws. The distance between Natsume and Hiiragi, I think it is reduced to a few more, ditto that between Natori and Natsume.

That was an OK episode, the story was a bit jumbled and didn't make much sense and there were some cheesy moments. It's just good enough for me to stick to the end but honestly I don't think this season is as good as season one or two.

It's always sad to see the slow death of tradition :(

Interesting to see that Natsume and Natori are becoming actual friends rather than just acquaintances who just happen to bump into each other when shit's going down.

It was a bit sad, the humans stopped caring about Houzuki and he lost all his power.

My fan is on low, so when Natsume commented on the spring breeze at the end of the ep, it kinda felt like I was experiencing the spring breeze too lol

Really great episode

When I first saw Natori, I did not feel good about him, but now I like him!
A great character!


Sensei, as always, did something to increase the value of this anime!

The best cat of all time by far!
No doubt!

5/5

Yet another beautiful episode; a great second part and ending of a dual ep. It appears we are going to learn about Natsume's biological parents for the first time in the next episode. Grandma and grandma Natsume Reiko all the time... it was almost like he didn't have parents.

Pretty good conclusion, although this arc wasn't that anything amazing in my opinion.

It's interesting that the Exorcist community prefers that their members avoid banishing gods when they have to deal with them. I guess that they're not all monsters like the master of Matoba.
