What i find myself loving most about this show is how Natsume's feelings towards being alone, and his affection towards the spirits join together as one, and that was perfectly demonstrated in this episode. The bond between Natsume and Tsubame didn't last very long, though it's one i'm sure Natsume will never forget --- he was finally able to attach himself to another, and he wanted to do all in his power to grant her wish.

There was quite a number of times in this episode where i just couldn't stop the tears. What he actually wanted to tell Tsubame while holding her hand was just so damn sweet, i couldn't help myself. Then at the end, his tears of happiness after seeing her smile from the photo. What a beautiful way to end such an outstanding episode.

That really was quite the experience. I'll forever love this special little episode.

(Forgot to add a poll, could a Mod do that for me please?)

Hmm, i wouldn't say there was any romance in episode 06. It was a different kind of attachment for Natsume --- one that he's never felt in his life before.

another great episode! i love how natsume tried his very best to fulfill tsubame's wish, i was touched when he shedded tears upon seeing tsubame's photo. besides that, i love the bond that developed between nyanko sensei and natsume, eventhough they refuse to admit it.

After being somewhat disappointed by episode 5 I didn't expect this episode to be so outstanding, probably the best of the series thus far and certainly my favorite. Once again Natsume Yuujinchou proves that being original isn't nearly as important as having heart.

i don't think he was crying because he was happy, i think he was crying because he missed her, but i could be wrong.

More then anything those were tears of happiness. I mean why would he tear up over a picture of her smiling happily because she finally got to be with the man she wanted because he missed her? Of course he misses her, though that wasn't the reason behind the tears.

Fantastic episode, the creators know exactly what they're doing and they do it perfectly. I'm becoming attached to this show, just like Natsume to the ayakashis ;) And it's a great success for an anime that I did not expect and that I didn't want to watch initially.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

It was both. He was smiling when crying.

Yep, best episode so far.

This is the first episode of this series which made me feel like every single episode of Mushishi. I hope next episodes keep the same level and this show will be an easy 9/10.

Very good episode which could have been handled better.

I'm still not sure whether Natsume was crying cause he finally saw her smile in the picture or he missed her already.

Actually I did not feel anything emotional, that is why I can not really judge this episode.

It was just another fun-to-watch Natsume Yuujinchou episode and that is all, in my very honest episode.

oh mhmm i hope he develops a bond relationship like that again. it got me all teary eyed if only tsubame would stay with him..

oh also the yukata that natsume wore reminded me of hotarubi's gin and the festival of spirits (which is btw another work of the same creator)
