| This series had a strong and deep connection with my life since 2009, I just cant hold the back the tears when the OP started playing. |
 |
| So many feels. The animation was beautiful, the voice acting was superb, the message behind was important. Waited for this for so long and wasn't disappointed. |
 |
| Beginning in line with the classic pattern seen in many past episodes, however, the plot takes a small step forward, so there are no complaints about it. Nice to see this anime, ditto for the OST. I look forward to reviewing this episode with subtitles in my native language, just to better understand the dialogues. |
 |
| As expected from this series, whole 23 minutes of the episode is a well spent time ^^ I'm glad there is a chance that we'll be able to see more of Reiko. I'm quite sure she wasn't abandoned by Natsume's grandfather, there must be some story behind it. |
| I love that this is finally back!! Was I the only one who was expecting Reiko forgot about giving the manjuu? |
| I am happy for 5th season, and the best is the calm of the series, next to the principal melody....8/10. |
| So much nostalgic feeling after watching this eps. Natsume is back, feel is coming again but i loved it. 4 years worth of waiting Aimer song is really her style here (coz I dont like her daydream album) Keep replay ED song. 9/10 as always. Time to fill this memories with new Natsume series. Thanks shuka for bringing again brainbase good anime another sequel |

| I'm so glad Natsume is back. Every time I watch this series it's like summer is back, warm and relaxing feelings :) It's one of my favourite anime and this episode was as beautiful and beautiful as it can be. :) They are also starting to talk more about Reiko, can't wait for more. |
 |
| I was tearing a little at the end of this episode because I am so glad this anime is back. If this isn't #1 for me this season there must be a masterpiece of an anime out of this season. |
| The quality of the art dropped down comparing it to all the other natsume seasons. So the fact that it has a 8,90 rating already after one pretty solid ep, proves ones and for all that the MAL rating the last past years are completely fucked up and not to be taken seriously anymore right? |

| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| I'm so glad we have another season! This is totally unexpected, it's been what, how long? Four years? And yet, while watching it didn't seem like time had passed at all; the same feelings were there. The new op and ed are beautiful as always. I could cry, I'm seriously enjoying every bit of this existing rn. |
| oh the fucking nostalgia!! The OP was nice, |
 |
| This is so perfect, still episode 1 but nearly got me cried. Love the opening song! |
 |
| Quite a few people already said this but I will repeat anyway... SO MANY FEELS! Finally, the so much awaited continuation of the masterpiece. And it's good to hear their voices again. |
 |
| Amazing nostalgia is real~ love the aimer ED. Natsume!!! |
| This episode freaking delivered. I've always liked the episodes that showed Reiko more. |
| The statement below is true. The statement above is false. |
| Really missed this show. Hope we get more plot than season 4. First ep did a good job. |
 |
| I love this show I'm so happy it's back! |
 |
| Natsume Yuujinchou -- awesome as ever. Watched it just after finishing season 4. Seriously didn't realize that there was 4 years gap. |
 |
| Yes! I'm so glad this show is finally back! |
| I am so happy Natsume is back. The heartwarming feeling I got when I was binge watching the previous seasons is still here and strong, even If 2 years passed since then. I am not reading the manga so I can not wait to see what it's going to happen. |
| Finally after all these years, another season of Natsume!! This is one of my favorite series. It seems that we will get to know more about Reiko this season. Looking forward to it. |
| it's back..!! i can't hold my happiness right now..!! OP is nice, the ending even more gorgeous!! Aimer is the best... |
 |
| I was so afraid this new studio will ruin one of my favorite shows ever but I think they did a pretty good job. Didn't feel that different, although I miss that gentle "blur" Natsume Yuujinchou usually had. |

| THIS is all I needed. |
| YES!!!!! So excited!! Loved it!!!! |
 |
| Binged the entire series all week just for this. What a great episode. |
 |
| Time to start another long journey of Kamiya Hiroshi Natsume :) Said dinner, it's still bright in the outside, pretty sure sub is wrong xD I just felt so warm inside after watching this anime, still wondering who's the name of the big Youkai |

| the first episode was AMAZING i was smiling the whole through to point where i started crying from happiness like a complete sap. natsume and his daydream, being chased by a POT youkai, THE LEAF MASKS and nyanko-sensei <3 uh everything was hilar and perfect |
| Great first episode. The amazing ending concluded it perfectly. |
 |
| Hallelujah! I'm all in for this. Each season tends to have an arching theme and so far it seems like this one will involve connecting Takashi to Reiko. |
 |
| Think I'll rewatch the 4 previous seasons yet again. Might as well also rewatch Hotarubi no Mori e, Mushi-shi, and Kino no Tabi. |

| Ah the Feels; Makes you cry just from pure nostalgia; That's how good this calming series is; My all time favorite. Glad the essence of the show hasn't changed and the stories are as awesome as ever. Thumbs Up. Really liked Reiko's flashback in the episode; any episode with her is an instant win; eagerly looking forward to her story/past being told. >_< But on the other hand once told we will have one less thing to look forward too from this show which is sad too. If you know what I mean. But if we get some seasonS of Natsume Yuuginchou packed with Reiko's adventures and her being the protagonist/MC; then I think the gloominess will subside. xD |
 |
| It sure was amazing to see that another sequel of this series made it in this season! This first episode was totally amazing and brought the atmosphere I remember from watching the original 4 seasons! Really loved it and I am sure going to love the next of this fifth season! |
 |
| I love this show so much and I'm so glad I get to binge this 5th season knowing a 6th is in the works!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |

 |
| Awesome episode :) I completely forgot that I still hadn't watched this season. Seems like we might be learning some more about Reiko, hoping it wasn't just for this episode. |
 |
| He usually has dark/black eyes(nyanko-sensei) but in the scene where natsume was explaining to Takuma about his grandmother, sensei was showed with lime-green eyes; the ones he has when he transforms as Reiko |
| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| That pot youkai wasn't bad after all, it wanted a friend, nothing more. Poor Reiko, no human understood her. |
 |
| One word. Beautiful. Also THE OP AND ED BY SASANOMALY I LOVE IT!!!! |
| Re-watching this. Good start to the fifth season. Beautiful OP end ED as always. It was interesting to learn more about Reiko's past. |
