I was content with the series focusing more on the slice-of-life side rather than taking it deeper with that exorcist club and higher beings and stuff, but after this episode, I can't help but hoping for something a li...ttle bit more heart racing. Well, ok, I shouldn't. But for me the epi was a little bit anticlimatic, IDK, some parts are awkward as like the animation and the pacing didn't really fit in. Still an enjoyable one though. |
nznznz said: Well that was rather anticlimactic. I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't keep up the development from season two and instead went back to the episodic way. This. I was expecting more from this ep and it felt anticlimactic but anyway, at least it leaves a hint about the main plot. |
| That was a little anti-climatic, one hit and that huge youkai gets blown to smithereens. So a filler next episode? Oh well. Hope it's good. |
| Meh. Natsume's arcs are usually inferior to its episodic storylines. Also, the filler talk is ridiculous. Bleach, Naruto, One Piece - I understand the filler can be horrible in long-running shonen. But, Natsume filler or not(I can't even tell the difference), some of those episodes have been very powerful. You're basically telling me that they shouldn't have another episode with the fox boy - even though the episode in the first season was arguably one of the best Natsume episodes - simply because some of you want to see Natsume in a frilly apron? Come on, fangirls. =| |
| Dude. DUDE. Nyanko-sensei. Bad. Ass. Just that whole scene, my face was literally: :O And next episode. I always check the characters for each season to see if the fox boy is gonna be in it. I'm so excited. He's just so friggin cute. But he looks like he's gotten older from the preview. |
 |
| Blood sperm lol those looked funny. This episode was alright. |
| I don't know, I just enjoy every chapter so much. It never fails to make me laugh or to make me feel sad. I love how Natori worries about Natsume. |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| Just hope that "action" episodes like this will occur very rarely, or the calm, peaceful, even relaxing atmosphere will be lost. |
| Even though Natori claims to be using Hiragi as a tool, I think there are other reasons why he kept her out of the line of fire. It strikes me that his situation may not be that different from the witch. Hiragi certainly seems to be in love with him (as much as you can tell from a character whose face is mostly covered by a mask). I also think there may be much more to Reiko's story than we've been told thus far. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| How dare they hurt nyanko sensei. >:( i lol-ed when sensei couldn't bent over and lick his wounds cuz he's too fat. |
| Good episode. Don't really see the point in Matoba protecting his eye from been eaten when he wouldn't be able to use it either, unless it would weaken his abilities if he lost it. I guess it doesn't really matter. |
| She should have just bought a gun, it would have been a lot more effective than a youkai that she couldn't even control. And seriously, Natsume needs to learn at least the basics of fighting with spiritual energy or he's going to die one day when there's no one there to save him from his incompetence at the last second. |

| Great episode, and the Matoba ark is far from over as it seems. All the more reasons to look forward to more of Natsume. Still I wonder how could that Matoba guy 1-shot the demon. "Sensei, you really are a demon, Sensei!" |

| First time seeing sensei getting so angered. The Matoba family.. villians. |
| Pretty interesting episode with even some action inside that cave. I was kinda pissed to see Madara/Sensei wounded tbh especially when some of his blood was used to awaken a Youkai. Other than that, 5/5. |

darkerealm said: i lol-ed when sensei couldn't bent over and lick his wounds cuz he's too fat. Same here XD Despite the overall seriousness in this episode, Nyanko-sensei still brought some comedic moments. I love the part where he and Natoba were bickering at the inn. And wow, the Matoba clan sure is strong. He took out the super strong youkai with just an arrow (and spell). Still, they're a horrible clan... |
| Natsume needs to learn some basic exorcism or anything that he can use to fend off bad youkai.. If i remember correctly, he only use it once, during the exorcism inside his house, using the technique Reiko used. It's be great to see him fighting with spell instead of running away or one-punch-KO-ing the youkai XD |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Nyanko-sensei! And lol the blood/sperm comparison. I thought they looked like it too. Anyway, another great episode with some action. |

| Didn't really enjoyed this two episode arc as it had a weird atmosphere and a different pace than normal but well either way let's see what's next! |
 |
| This is probably the only episode where Natsume basically lost. He definitely didn't win anything that's for sure. It was more of a bad sad episode instead of happy sad like the previous 32 eps. Love the character development for him this ep. |
| That witch girl hopelessly trying to gather the ashes of her only means of taking revenge on Matoba was one of the saddest and most depressing sights in the show. Although, like others have said, she would have been more successful if she had just got herself a gun. I guess grief made her lose the ability to think straight. Also, wasn't Madara shot in his neck, so why does his Nyanko form have a wound in the ribs? |

| So even Natsume Yuujinchou has lame arcs. |
| I thought nyanko sensei was going to go beserk like Inuyasha and start killing everything. Never been so intimidated while watching the series. |
| Interesting episode, the story is enhanced by additional characters that are opposed to those seeking dialogue towards Youkai, a development that makes the most intriguing storyline; who knows if rivederemo the witch in the future. Great Nyanko-sensei, his verve is unique. XD |
 |
| Madara going into a rage was quite something to behold. I want MOAR. |
| Good arc, not overwhelming, but good. I liked the conclusion of the story, we all knew that the big bad yokai would never have a lot of screen time, so the little screentime he had was well used. Matoba gang chief seems like an interesting villain, I wonder what he would do if he knew about the book of friends existence. |
 |
| Not sure why people are complaining about filler since it's actually pretty good in this show. As long as it's good why bitch and moan about it. As for the episode, couldn't help but feel sorry for that woman. Sure she went crazy but that was only because of the Matoba clan getting her dear yokai friend killed by using him as bait. Just think of how torn Natsume would be if that were to have happened to one of his close yokai friends like the fox cub (can't really use Nyanko-sensei as a good example since he's too dam strong xD). Speaking of Nyanko-sensei, do not fuck with Natsume when he's around unless you want to get killed. I have never seen him seriously pissed off before like that :o I guess it didn't help that Matoba is such a douchebag. |
 |
| And so as it turns out the female youkai gathering blood was in fact a human, and former Matoba clan member. She was trying to revive a powerful youkai to take revenge on Matoba for callously sacrificing a youkai she had grown close to in the past. Well there's that central conflict sprouting up again on the roles of youkai in relation to humans. Friends, allies, or mere tools? That Matoba douche really needs a good punch to the face, but he seems too on top of things so far for me to expect anything like that to happen anytime soon if at all. I mean he played Natsume like a fiddle and took out that youkai with a single shot. Still, definitely woulda enjoyed seeing the enraged Nyanko-sensei eat him. :D Looks like we're back to one-offs next, and the return of a character I think I vaguely remember from season on2 considering how long it's been. :D |
| I hate the Matoba, damn them all. That woman wanted to take revenge on that bastard who used her friend as bait. |
 |
| Don’t mess with Madara when he gets serious and angry. His blood so strong to awaken the youkai. The Matoba are pure evil. |
 |
| I loved this episode!!^^ Also poor woman. T_T |
| It would be interesting if Natsume could use his powers, he would be menis dependent on Madara and would make things a little more interesting. |
| Witch woman wanted her revenge to be too poetic. Next time just stab mf Matoba in the throat. |
| Poor woman. And poor Nyanko-sensei. :( The Matoba family is the worst. |

| I wonder if the Matoba have some involvement with Reiko's premature death, maybe even Natsume's parents too. |
