it made me more curious about Reiko's past. I'm quite sure she had more important reasons rather than just simply forgotten about the promise she made. Santo was adorable lol. More Sasada plz~


and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'|

Santo was a bit annoying.. or should I say the voice actor.

All in all a nice sweet episode. I'm surprised that there has been so little screen time with Natsume and the black haired guy? I was expecting an episode featuring the two of them bonding and what not. Guess they decided to play it out differently or something. Ah well, on to the next ep :)

I like the episode, it wasn't the focus, but Tanuma stole the show for me when Sasada wanted to hang with Natsume!

More interaction between Tanuma x Natsume be great!

Santo was absolute gold this episode, couldn't stop laughing. This episode had a nice message to go with it - that even if you don't get along all of the time, friends are there for you through thick and thin and ultimately you share more good times with them.

Reiko abandoning youkai that she takes the names of seems to be a recurring thing, but I think there was definitely some greater reason as to why. She just seems too good natured of a character to simply "forget."

Probably the weakest episode so far. I found it to be pretty boring honestly.

Natsume is taking some time to grow on me but I think he has potential to be a really good main character.

I love Nyanko-sensei though. He makes for a great comic relief.

Meh episode.

6/10 I haven't liked this anime as much as I had hoped but it's still pretty good.

So far this anime is a 7/10.

Another great episode. I love the whole feeling of this anime. It's so great and you just get left with a good feeling after watching an episode. Reminds me of Hotarubi no Mori e, but a whole season! Hotarubi no Mori e just had a similar feel to it.
Getting more and more interested about Reiko.
Nyanko-sensei is a great character, I've grown attached to him.
Since the first episode, I have really liked the OST. It goes well with the series and amplifies the tranquil feelings.

The scene where Tanuma helped out Natsume was great. I would also like to see more interaction between the two of them. They'd make good friends probably. It would be great for the both of them to have someone who understands.

Episode quite simple in narrative, is a topic on which you could write a lot of great thoughts turned to understand its true meaning. The atmosphere is the usual, very relaxing and enjoyable, it does not get bored while being slow the pace.

She would be very comprehensive and he wouldn't be as lonely as he looks

I can't wait to see more of Tanuma too

So I guess Sasada knows for sure that Natsume can see spirits. It sucks that he keeps playing her like that though lmao. At least Natsume has some people to call friends now. I hope him and Tanuma interact more!

I guess he doesn't tell Sasada that he can see spirits not because he doesn't trust her, but because he's afraid she might end up getting harmed or something. Just look at what happened to them, had she gone with Natsume her life would've been in danger.

The more youkai Natsume meets, the more annoying I find Reiko for being so inconsiderate and irresponsible for not keeping her promises to anyone D:< she BETTER have a good reason for all this! Most of these youkai didn't deserve their treatment. It absolutely sucks having to wait on someone who never shows up >:(

Lol, Reiko didn't give two shits, well maybe we get a reason later.

Last 3 episodes have been rather boring, kinda disappointing after such a promising start.

oh wow finally the opening and ending theme songs??? We're like 5 episodes in whats up with that xD
slightly calmer episode i guess, if anything it just shows Madara is probably servery underpaid for the shit he has to do, poor guy.
Tanuma coming in big wow, as much as as i find Sasada barely bearable as a character, she keeps swinging from annoying to ok at time. But damn, Tanuma really said *poof* and left
Damn Reiko really is one forgetful person, thank god her habits didn't pass down to Takashi.

Much better than the previous episode. Friendship means understanding, not agreement. It means forgiveness, not forgetting. It means the memories last, even if contact lost.

This episode was really good. Calm the way I like it.
Santo is silly and cute, that makes him fun. In the end, it came to a good conclusion.

I didn't remember this episode, it's been good to rewatch the first season.

Santo and Mikuri are pretty adorable together:)

Sasada has clearly developed a crush on Natsume and she's getting pushy cause of that.

Cute episode but I felt that there wasn't enough going in this one. Wonder if Reiko is really forgetting her promises. Is she that uncaring?

Poor Santo was desperately waiting for Reiko. His reunion with Mikuri was quite hilarious.

Reiko is a really forgetful person.

Nyanko-sensei looked cute when he was eating that watermelon. x3
