Episode great, both with regard to the narrative, and for what concerns the story. Natsume for human growth, this episode has been a more fundamental point, given its lack of experience in dealing with other people. Excellent plot that deepens in the second part, the past Reiko, interesting this stage of history. Who knows if in the future we will review certain characters, the final catches me unprepared, but this makes it even more intriguing this episode.

ONE PUUUUUUUUUNCH! Natsume is the pacifist, spiritual version of One Punch Man. Glad to see some world-building and other spirit-arts users. I *still* can't get myself to trust Natori, there's something off about him.

Natsume seems more like the spiritual version of Kamijo Touma from the Toaru series.

I also can't help but have a dark feeling for Natori.

Natsume meets Hiiragi and Natori again and helps them take down a giant head youkai during a meeting of several sorcerers. Ah yes, the Hiiragi episode of season one was probably my favorite so it's nice to see her again. Two new names of note this episode. The elderly Nanase and her Matoba clan. Yeah, I figured Nanase wasn't as nice as she seemed. There's rarely ever an absolute when it comes to most things so her claim that all youkai are evil and useful only as tools was clearly bullshit. Looks like they're setting up a clash of ideals between the Matoba clan and Natsume over the nature of youkai. And speaking of setup, looks like next episode will center on the boy Natsume walked by at the end of this one...and that cleaver wielding youkai...

"They're evil, unlike humans", hah nice joke lady, they probably spawn from the evilness residing within humans

What an unusual creepy ending, came out of nowhere! Thankfully the preview shows us that nothing really bad happens next episode. Also, I was hoping that Natsume might find someone like him on the meeting, but sadly it only made him realize that humans can be as evil as some Ayakashi...

Lol, what was that youkai from the end?
Those kids are in danger.
Natsume trusted that old woman and got hurt, again.

Each episode we get closer and closer to Reiko's truth and Natsume grows stronger and stronger mentally and physically by believing in his powers.

Such a warm episode, it seems Natsume has been really lost in his feelings about his ability to see Youkai and how lonely that makes him, but that encounter with the lady asking about Reiko kinda put him at ease

Great episode story wise but I’m really disappointed that the art, animation, and direction are back to normal. The last episode was consistently better in all aspects and had some scenes that really blew me away in terms of animation.

Natsume punching Hiragi for trying to strip him was funny. The cliff hanger at the end kind of felt chilly. It really does raise the question on how Reiko died. Also that old lady used Natsume and Natori was evil.

"They're evil, unlike humans" .... really lady? she really said that with a straight face....

Anyway, STILL can't bring myself to trust or like Natori. He was pretty alright this episode but something still feels off about him... feel a bit concerned over Hiiragi, she seems like a nice youkai.. oh well, we'll see.

They went back to the original direction and style i guess.... would have been nice to see some more animation like episode 10... i think episodes 6 and 7 also felt different and that was probably because of the fluidity of the animation, it was nice.

Very good questions and plot points raised, I'm curious
"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

Hopefully we will find out soon enough.
Also what was that thing in the last scene?

Pretty tense episode.

"They're evil, unlike humans" Ehh, not really. Humans are the worst. Nanase is a wise but cruel woman, especially to youkai. I felt sad for that poor crow. :(

That ending was creepy. :o

Things have finally started to get a bit more tense and real questions are being asked. I like this about such anime. Its pretty chill and relaxing overall but has these tense and mysterious moments.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Natsume was invited by Natori to go to a meeting of sorcerers. There he meets people with similar powers and problems as he.

pretty cool ep i felt like. we see more worldbuilding seeing humans with their yokai-servants. and natsume realizes even if they may know how he feels all alone, they cant be trusted regarding the wellness of yokai. Series so far has had some cool supernatural stuff. I quite liked the paper doll and they made like a water drawing for tracking down the yokai.
