| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- School festival season, and Nyanko-sensei is not well yet. Youkai searches for Natsume is related to creepy stones. Natsume is assigned to selling for his class, and his friend thought he's not interested in doing so... in apron! Natsume is popular!! Nyanko-sensei got well and saved him just in time! |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| First time this season i actually cried a bit (sorry fox boy, you're a close second though!). I totally relate with Natsume: Having to hide things you don't want your friends to know only to realize they have your back. Really touching, sad, heartwarming episode. When all of his friends came to see him, the tears started streaming for me. The ending theme music accompanying it added to the tears.(Natsume Yuujinchou has some pretty tear-inducing ending songs, don't they?) Kamiya Hiroshi does an outstanding job as Natsume. It amazes me that this show hasn't been licensed yet. 5/5 |

| I'm glad that Natsume has people that he wants to protect. I really liked this episode not the best but a good one. Too bad that we didnlt get to see more of "Mr. Popular Guy" lol |
| the anime is way far a head of the manga. he actually has friends that aren't the other two. was this episode foreshadowing the fact that he will tell everyone? |
| I'm glad Nyanko-sensei is getting better, i was starting to miss him even though he was always in the episodes but sleeping all the time. And all Natsume's friends, the anime has such a warm atmosphere, always makes my evenings |
| Crappy animation was really crappy... I think this seasons animation quality just hit a new all time low. :| The flow was better in the manga, which is too bad because this was a really nice chapter... |

I actually didn't see it crappy, but it could be better of course...Crappy animation was really crappy... I think this seasons animation quality just hit a new all time low. :| What's more this episode was totally heart-warming! Natsume good for you for being so popular with the girls ;)! |
| it was a somehow peaceful episode XD poor natsume what with that rock lol |
| Life is bittersweet can you live with that? |
| There were some pacing problems and it was a bit too much for only one episode. Also some of the moments felt silly, like the beginning when he fell into the water. That should've been much more hurtful and of course they had to sneeze and take a bath, because everyone knows you instantly catch a cold. But I'm always happy to see Taki, Sasada and Tanuma although the happy friends ending was a bit cheesy. |
| A bit weird but pretty cute also how Nyanko-sensei spent more of the episode sleeping. Who knew Natsume was so popular with girls?! And this town really is full of friendly folks. Strange (but nice). |
 |
| Aww Natsume crying made me cry almost. Taki looks hot in a male uniform. xD I wonder when he is going to tell the rest of his friends his secret? He can't hide it from them forever. Yay another Tanuma episode next week I love the guy he is my favorite character along with Natsume of course. ^_~ |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Good ol' natsume. Heartwarming as always. The best moment of the episode: |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Natsume's pretty happy to see Taki crossdressing... I wonder why? :3 And lol@preview. "We're friends, if something's bothering him we should talk about it." Really rich coming from you, Natsume. |
 |
| I always love how I see other's saying this anime always leaves you feeling so warm. I don't know what it is about this anime but it definitely does have some captivating charm. When Natsume cried in bed I felt so happy. Even when he said I'm so happy, what should I do? As for the animation, I really don't even pay mind to it. In my opinion it is just fine in comparison to a lot of crap ones I have watched. Definitely one of my top animes. |
| o genki desu ka |
| Natsume Yuujinchou must be the most heartwarming series ever. Fantastic peaceful and atmospheric episode. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
A very pleasing episode and nice as usual. So Aprons anyone as follows, I think they look adorable and yes I did wear some pink at some points with some shirts. Natsume is so brave in the spoiler If there is one amazing emotional scene then it must be the following,  yes indeed it made me emotional to see Nyanko with Natsume like that after what happened. You can clearly see the bonding being stronger than ever. What Natsume and Nyanko went through with that Matoba clan is exactly what made then close. Got me some tears there. Obviously the most exciting part of Nyanko is in the spoiler
About preview, well it good to see Natsume walking Nyanko here. Could be he recovered rather nicely. While I wonder what the heck happens here to Natsume? That he is like that it could be he got hurt around his eye? Then there is that shining light of whom the mirror mention could relate. Should be a nice #10 coming up. BTW Image Stitches in the spoiler |

| uah~ this episode was sooooooooooo cute! I get the feeling Natsume is getting more and more sweet ♥ It was really nice when everyone was with him and worried about him! |
 |
| the school festival could be a lot more fun if nyanko sensei is there to ruined it haha |
 |
| Easily the best and most heartwarming episode this season. Natsume's new hairstyle was trying to turn me gay, and it was working. |
| Seriously, who doesn't love this series? <33333333 |
 |
| The festival~! Yes~! Aw, seriously, there isn’t a single episode in which I am not squealing at something. NATSUME IN APRON[!] askldgjherhglekrgosaejtgfdkljojldfsjoihj. OH, YES, YES, YES, YES! He’s so cute I melt~ And Taki…! in male uniform, no less. Her cuddling with Nyanko-sensei never ceases to make me laugh. That scene of Natsume on the bike along Kitamoto and Nishimura around him, helping to ride it, made me smile to no end. He’s got friends like them as well —although, I wouldn’t want to forget about Sasada, despite the fact almost no one seems to like the girl— and even though they aren’t even aware of his secrets, they are still there to care and look out for him. I must say, it felt if only a little bit rushed altogether. However, I don’t mind. It’s wonderful either way. I find the preview a bit curious (or perhaps, slightly ironic) in how Natsume worries concerning Tanuma, and thinks he should talk about what’s bothering... even if he himself doesn’t do that openly. Yet we know it is only because they both are the kind that don’t want to cause inconveniences to others because of their own troubles. … He must be slowly accepting and willing to open up to him and Taki as he’s been gradually doing. Their bonds are strengthening, it shows. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Very nice episode i really liked how Natsume got closer to his friends ones again i wonder if he will be able to fully trust them one day. Or that the will accept him the way he is. That apron looked good on him. And it seems that Natsume is surprisingly popular among the girls especially the first year ones from what i am able to tell. I wonder if he develops a relationship any time soon. Taki in that males outfit looked very showy. |
| Damn, creepy rock. O.o God, I waited soooo long for this ep. It's one of the best episodes so far! I'm so glad we got to see more of Natsume's other friends. Really, Natsume crying was just... *sniff* More awesomeness next episode. Can't wait! |

I think this seasons animation quality just hit a new all time low. :| In case you didn't notice... an·i·me [noun] A Japanese style of motion-picture animation. Without animation, no anime. In my opinion, that makes the animation quality a key factor. |
| I really wanted Natsu to tell his friends about his ability. Also sometimes I miss romance part when it seems hi is popular with girls. In apron he is so manly xD Nyanko-sensei is getting better, that's good. When he sleep he's so quiet and looks cute you want to cuddle him, pat his head and do other things^^ |

PseudoJord said: Easily the best and most heartwarming episode this season. Natsume's new hairstyle was trying to turn me gay, and it was working. Agreed. Mt fav episode so far. Best pace and best story. The latest two episodes lacked of plot. |
| I was ready to drop a few tears but I couldn't, my brother's watching with me. ..That was seriously touching. It'd be nice to have precious people. Those who got your back.. haha. So sad. |
| omg at Natsume crying. It's like I could just feel my heart warming up. ;____; Also, all of the girls digging Natsume's cashier hairstyle made me crack up. xD |
    |
| Natsume is the cutest thing ever <3 <3 <3 AHSFJKASHGFAWIEUHGAWLH. CUTE. |

| I liked Natsume with the apron on. Well that's another side of him we haven't seen xP And then all the people visiting him in the hokenshitsu.That was 'awwww'-inducing. |
 |
| Probably the best ep this season?? IDK but it's just great. Really heartwarming.. The rock was creepy btw. >,< Didn't know Natsume was popular with the girls. lol :D Also, Taki + Nyanko-sensei is always a WIN!! xD I hope it's not wrong to be unable to ride a bike even you're old coz I'm one. ^^ |
| Now that was just plain cute, I prefer Natsume with the new hairstyle :3 Natsume in an apron made him look more bishonen than usual o_o lol at the part where he kept hitting his fingers while stitching .__.; you should get help with something like that XD the part when he cried was so emotional, I teared up on the part before that too, when Nishimura and Kitamoto came just to check on him and console him and then Natsume responded with a bittersweet lie and shaky voice DX NATSUME EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE HAPPY >.< next epi is more Tanumaaaa |
| I loved it! It was so nice to see Natsume getting closer and closer to the people around him, making him realise he's not alone anymore ^^ |
| Really sweet episode! I thought it was a nice little school festival story. Kind of wish my school did things like that. Full thoughts on the episode are here on my blog. |
| Very nice episode as usual (: |
| I really liked this episode! Everything was good, and I'm glad Nyanko-sensei is better. |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| Any episode with Taki is a big win--even if she is wearing a boy's uniform. |
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 |
| I'm glad Nyanko sensei is feeling better. It's been way too quiet without his voice around! |
| I really enjoyed this episode, seeing Natsume enjoy time with his school friends. Lulz @ Natsume crashing the bike xD marchefka said: Natsume in the pink apron was moe :D Agreed! |
rodac said: Any episode with Taki is a big win--even if she is wearing a boy's uniform. Actually, she was really cute in a boy's uniform. Otherwise, I agree.Great episode! |
 "Only the dead have seen the end of war". ~Plato~ |
| Finally, Nyanko-sensei is back, I became worried about Natsume at this point. That stone was creepy as fwck. And Natsume turned out to be pretty popular with the girls after all :D |
  |
| Natsume has sure met a lot of good people, and good friends. I feel happy for him. :) |
| Damn, that is one ugly rock. |
 |
Stark700 said: Damn, that is one ugly rock. LOL agreed. Natsume seems to be very popular, especially with the girls! He really is cute and charming in his own way ^^ I love how the youkai just go to Natsume's room to party, AGAIN (kind of makes me think how they would be super sad when he is gone...it's connects a little with Taki's grandfather's experience). And I Hinoe, she's been really helpful. webkid94 said: I totally relate with Natsume: Having to hide things you don't want your friends to know only to realize they have your back. Really touching, sad, heartwarming episode. When all of his friends came to see him, the tears started streaming for me. The ending theme music accompanying it added to the tears.(Natsume Yuujinchou has some pretty tear-inducing ending songs, don't they?) Kamiya Hiroshi does an outstanding job as Natsume. For me as well, I can relate to Natsume in so many ways, and it makes everything all the more touching and just plain beautiful. He really has a lot of people who care about him, it's nice to know that despite how he had been treated before in the past, he's really come far. Like how in the beginning of the episode, even though Nishimura and Kitamoto thought Natsume was acting incredibly weird and suspicious, they didn't hesitate to help out. I agree that the ED songs bring tears to my eyes everytime...especially season 1 and this season's EDs. The singer has a nostalgic, sentimental tone to his voice, and along with the peaceful song, it has a way of moving one's heart ;_; I love those songs, but I can't bring myself to listen to them too often because I always want to cry. |
| "You can't ride a bike with no one behind you right?" That's such a sad and true line to this series. That basically sums up Natsume's life until now. That almost made me cry. Keep pursuing your dreams! ~ Wynn |
