Having just watched the 12th episode, I'm really starting to wonder if this will really be the last season of Natsume. I haven't read the manga so I can't say for certain if there's still material for a fifth season but it feels as though they could end the show off right now.

Thoughts or predictions? It would be a shame if the series ended here.

There's still enough material to be covered in the manga and it's still on-going so fingers crossed for a fifth season because this show really deserves it! :)

Maybe there's still enough for one more season, but after that it needs some rest.

Natsume Yuujinchou seriously deserves a fifth season. Hopefully, they will announce it soon...

Natsume is awesome, so of course I think it should go on. Plus I can't help but feel that they can't end it until the Book of Friends is empty, and I don't see that happening in the span of one episode.

I really wouldn't be surprised if they have another season at some point but I think there will be a good gap between the 4th and 5th season just like there was between the 2nd and 3rd in order to let the manga pull ahead a bit.

Each season has covered an average of about 12 chapters and episode 12 of this season is chapter 45. So they last episode will put us at chapter 46. That leaves 8 chapters (to my knowlage) that have not been covered in the anime. That simply isn't enough for another season right now. The earliest i could see another season is winter but i would expect that they will have wait till they have enough to do 2 season in quick succession like they have in the past

To be more precise, the anime covers the manga up to and including chapter 51. As chapters 48-51 have already been covered.

Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don't think. A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say when he was a boy of eighteen, and as a natural consequence he always looks absolutely delightful."

Ah didn't know they weren't going in order.

Then yeah there isn't nearly enough material for another season at this point. I'd say there wouldn't be another season then for probably 2-3 years like between season 2 and 3 since chapters are only released every other month

If Natsume keeps getting better like it's doing then i totally want a season 5. But "Natsume Yuujinchou Go" Sounds like a shonen, Hope they give it another name.

Now after watching the last episode of this season and reading "The End" we now know that it will be a while, maybe years, before we might see more Natsume. Although this last episode has a ring of finality to it there is still parts of the story that have been left unfinished, like how Reiko died, how Nyanko-sensei met Reiko, and the Matoba clan, isn't the head interested in using Natsume some how? There are a lot more questions to be answered like will Nishimura ever ask Taki out? I could go on and on.

Just by following the timeline of the anime we can see that each season is about half a school year and Natsume is only in his second year of high school, I'm thinking they're going to finish the anime with Natsume finishing high school so that means a least two more seasons.

So to answer the question will there be a fifth season, the answer is most likely and we can expect a sixth season as well. However don't except them any time soon there isn't enough manga material yet.

The ending of the episode definitely made it seem like it may be the last season of Natsume, so I'm not sure if there will be a fifth season. I guess there's still a chance that they'll go on considering how popular it is. They just need more manga chapters right now. If there were to be a fifth season, we probably won't be seeing it in a few years.

Matoba Matoba! This conflit isn't settle yet!
We can't let it end!

But well, I don't mind waiting a few years again just to let the manga finished the Matoba's arc.

I have hopes! Anime industry seriously need more series like that!

Even if there is still some material of the manga left, the last episode felt kind of final. I feel sad but there always a place for this series in my heart. I'll keeping reading the manga even if the anime ends. I do hope that the anime continues even if it takes years to get completed.

Adding to the list of unresolved questions: what will happen to Hiiragi and Natori? I hope we do get a final season or two to find out answers to all the questions we still have.

Director said there will only be 52 episodes (adding up all the seasons adds up to 52). I think there is still room for possibility though, so just keep your fringes crossed.

I really hope, and believe, there will be another season. Most anime couldn't pull off this many seasons, usually they end up dragging the end and it just gets worse and worse. But with Natsume, I feel like the anime is climbing upwards, getting better and better with every season.

The thing I noticed haveing (mostly) finished reading the arc the manga is currently on, they could have a great movie if they JUST used that arc. Think they might just do a movie or two then wait for the manga to end?

i hope there will be another season, i haven't gotten my fill of it yet -- there is so much more material to be covered that it'd be such a waste of the dedicated fandom to leave it with an open ended ending.

I really hope that when the manga has enough material they'll start a 5th season, I don't wait it to stop it here...

I just love Natsume Yuujinchou so much I don't know how to fill up the emptyness when they won't make another season... :( So I really hope that perhaps next year we'll get the news we're all waiting for ~

There are mainstream anime that have 200+ episodes but they are not all good. Here, instead, we have 5 seasons of Natsume, and the quality is constant and growing. That's really something.

I really hope for 5th season ! it cant end like this !
NATSUME YUUJINCHOU Deserve it!

as manga is ongoing I think they will continue anime for sure, but I think we will wait until 2013. for 5th season maybe x.x...

so many questions still about natsume, his parents, reiko, ayakahi, book, madara (nyanko-sensei) etc.. >.<

Whoa whoa whoa no need to snap at other anime.

I don't know how popular it is in Japan but I think it deserves as long as it takes to fully animate this beautiful story. The ending just like the others looked like they could be the end, so we can't go on that. If it doesn't happen in 2013 then I don't think it might continue at all.

So true... I can't believe I finished watching all the seasons of Natsume Yuujinchou, it just felt really quick to me. The music, art, plot and emotions were cleverly presented in such high quality, it's simply astounding...

Season five is a must! :)

I have never seen an anime having 5 seasons + the ¨4th season's last episodes were ordered differently than in the manga so that the ending was clear - Natsume's return to his house. This was a great series but I don't think there will be a continuation.
