Finally started my second anime for the summer season.

It was a pretty good first episode, although it was really slow paced at the start, the second half made up for that. Plus I agree with Kasumisama about the annoying ayakashi voices, and it's rare for us to agree sometimes. xD

Looking forward to more.

Hm, I like this show, and will follow it to the end, but I'm depressed because I know that throughout the entire thing, I'll be thinking to myself "Man, I wish the anime were about Reiko's adventures instead."

I get the feeling that it kind of might be. Of course most of the action's going to be the grandson and his cranky demoncat mentor, but I think (I hope!) that we'll see a lot of what Reiko was up to. She's definitely kick-ass, though.

Love the first episode! Nyanko is so adorable.... he still insists that he's not a cat although he behaves like one! haha

I loved the Neko X333 And as I saw that Inoue Kazuhiko is voicing him I just couldn't resist the anime. I love the relaxing ending very much. I think that the show will be very good. The first episode was very succesfull ^^

I like this kind of stuff so the first episode for me was a pleasent experience. It really is hard to adapt Midorikawa Yuki's lovely art style so the design for the anime is kinda eh for me. But it was a adapted well overall so I can overlook something like this.

I liked this anime it was nice and the animation was good. Didn't care much for the ending theme though but I did like the opening. There was alot of things that would have made it better but then again there was many things that could have also made it worse to so as of now I stay with it was quite good.

Boring lead character.

Nyanko sensei is awesome despite the lazy animation and Reiko looks awesome. This will probably be one of those series where i could care less about the main lead.

I have to say, this does remind me of both Mushishi and xxxHolic. I'm not sure what to think of Natsume yet, though it had to be pretty sad for him growing up.
Reiko seems... interesting. o_o LOL.
And was definitely surprised by the cat's voice. Didn't expect a little old man voice for the chubby cat.

Lovely first episode. It was relaxing, deep, slow-paced and sweet. The animation was great and the sound couldn’t be more fitting.

I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy Natsume Yuujinchou very much.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Lovely ep, trying to find it tho was annoying. Here's a link with all seasons, though it does have ads it has all the eps in order which is useful considing some other sites put the 3rd season first.

I knew Nyanko-sensi would a funny character before even watching the anime. The first episode was kind of slow fun, now let me see what the rest of the episodes got.

This ep was BEAUTIFUL. Animated so beautifully, I'm so happy with how it turned out. So relaxing yet funny...ahhhh this is going to so wonderful.


I can't say anything more about it. I liked it, to be honest, even though I don't like most of the demons(I get flashbacks about the awful early witches in Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica). I'd feel better if they sticked up to something model looking convenient enough, but I guess there will be some ghosts will be ok with me and some which will have design contrary to my taste(like the very first ghost which was released by Natsume). I wonder why he releases them anyway. Doesn't this book give him some power equal to the names sealed in it? Idk, but I don't like the idea about releasing them. Anyway I liked Reiko. I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

Started to watch this through Crunchyroll, because it had good reviews about it.
The first episode was interesting, although the animation quality wasn't that great.
It's a 4 year old series anyway, hopefully the recent season is much better and comparable with "Hotarubi no Mori e"

I find the show a bit playfull, Natsume's grandmother sets the best example with her teases with the Youkai. Which was funny to see as well.

I expect alot of this anime, and i'm not regreted! It's so funny and shinny and beautiful, I love the songs and the chars and the animation, it's been a long time i don't see a anime more old then 2009 and the quality of Natsume surprise me! I love particulary the "Death" history the history of good gost and the detarmination of Natsume to complet the job left for your sweet grandmother.*-*
