Another nice episode. There's one of the youkai that I notice in the OP with I think is a mushroom in her mouth. I can't wait to see her.

Great episode! Got to see Nyanko-sensei in high school girl form =) I wanted to see how Reiko met the spirit, but it was fine this way too. The kappa scenes were also cute.

Interesting that Nyanko-sensei looked like Reiko in human form. I wonder if there's any meaning in that.

Overall a really nice episode. I wonder if this girl will be involved in any future stories, since she believes in the spirits.

Awesome sauce. Was wishing Natsume would gain a somewhat normal person as a friend but it appears he is going to keep his distance from her. =/ Oh well we still have that other odd guy who can see their shadows.

Tsuchida Hiroshi.

Another wonderful episode. Sasada’s relation with the Youth God was really touching. Ah, I thought Natsume would be finally able to make a friend… I think Nyanko-sensei’s human form was actually Reiko’s appearance…?
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

This series might be about spirits and the supernatural, but I see very human stories in these episodes and a lot of depth and I'm starting to get used to its nature. Even if there's not a continuous narrative, there's this great feeling, humor and depth about it.

Oh and the artwork is fantastic! So far the character-designs and background music are a big plus!

And sexy human form is sexy!

Ah yes, Captain of the dodge ball team.... that will hold up under scrutiny. It's obvious that the class rep knows now--it's a pity that Natsume can't bring himself to trust her. Four episodes and I'm ready to bump this to nine...

I already thought it's gonna be this way. You know, something like Jigoku Shoujo.

Thanks to this comment I felt that I'm watching the wrong "first" season of this anime. Yeah, I've been watching Natsume Yuujinchou San up to now. Somewhat funny, isn't it?

I really want to see Natsume together with Sasada. She's somewhat cute.

I've got the feeling Nyanko Seinsei might be Natsume's Grandmother after all.

Or... Madara from Naruto :P (Kakashi doing the Voice though)

Not trying to be a smartass here but isn't returning all the names the main objective of this show...? I'm not sure what kind of story you're talking about.

The episode was great IMO. Idk about you guys but it gives me a nice feeling watching this show.

i really like the song that plays when it shows the memorie of the youkai like for the spirit in this one... it's really calm and somewhat sad. i'm confused though, do all of the youkai have to disappear once he returns their names? does returning their name basically "kill" them? cause it seems like that's what happened every time so far. i want to see more of the black haired boy from the previous episode :p

I like the story, it had its tense moments, especially when Sasada was asking tough questions to Natsume. For a second, I thought she was another person who can see ghost and she was EVIL! PLOT TWIST! :p

I just started watching this series and finished this episode, and all I can say is I'm more than fully invested. Already this series has proven to be quite meaningful and beautiful in many ways. I also very much enjoy the serene animation, as it's a nice peaceful alternative (albeit with some heavy-ish feels) to the other heavier/darker series I've been watching.

Can't wait to power through, yet thoroughly enjoy this season and the ones that follow.

So.. this is it? Isn't this anime supposed to be dramatic and atmospheric? What I see so far is a bunch of generic stories about generic sissy boy dealing with generic spirits. Characters have so little screen time that I can't even get attached to any of them to feel the feels.

2/5 might drop.

I have to agree with your points. Maybe, you could focus more on the atmosphere/OST/serenity of the show because the characters don't seem to be of your liking. You shouldn't watch Mushishi if you don't like this.

Atmosphere and OST are definitely good, but it's not like they can save the day considering things I mentioned IMO.

Thanks for advice, I was planning to watch Mushishi, but okay probably it's not my cup of tea.

Lol yeah, I kinda wish he'd just stay in that form for the rest of the series tbh. Its also interesting that that form looks so much like Reiko. I wonder if there's any significance to that though, hmmm.

This anime really is magic. It is so slow and relaxed, yet there are such deep stories. It seems that loneliness is a central theme here. Hopefully Natsume will learn to connect with people in time. Sasada would be a good beginning since she seems to accept him so easily.

Aw, I kind of wish Sasada found out about Natsume's power (although judging by the ending she still has a hunch). I guess this anime is going to be mostly Natsume-focused with few side characters getting involved, but at least they're developing the recurring characters and adding more to the story that way.
