| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- From too cute to too big in one episode. <L> Yet another great episode in this great series. It looks like Natsume gets a visit from another shouta next episode. |
| zomg, cutest thing ever. Nyanko-sensei is hilarious, as always. "It might be tasty once it hatches." "Oh, I see!" Anyway, what was "left behind"? Love, friendship, memories, that sort of thing? |
| Beautiful episode! Tama-chan was sooo adorable, especially when he just hatched. so tiny! <3 (i like the rat youkai >.>) |
| this episdode is the cutest Natsume Yuujinchou episode so far >3< will Tama vist again later? (the last episode?) |
 |
| Nyanko-sensei hatching the egg totally made my day. ^^ When the Tama-chan took flight with Natsume and Nyanko on his back, the scene was so beautiful that I officially died XD |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| ^ that scene was beautiful but I have to say that this was my least favorite episode so far. it was too predictable |
| sooooo cute ^^ Nyanko-sensei is the best as usual, hatching the egg and trying to touch Tama in the end XD |
    |
| yey hes a daddy weeeee. he saves another yoikai again. is this going to be a reoccurring thing? |
| Where every other show disappoints, or bores (Rideback probably being the only exception) ZNY delivers on every level. I could watch Akikan a million times if I know at the end of the day I get to watch quality storytelling like this. Animation was a little lax here, but honestly, the strength of the story and direction surpasses this flaw. God, I love this show. |
EGGY WAS TOO CUTE!!! until he turned into a giant chicken dragon that is....  |

Azumizai said: While this was a beautiful episode (like they all are) I have to say that this is the 'worst' of this season's (I use this term lightly, and as a basis of comparison, it is by no means awful). Yes, it was cute, but no, I didn't feel any sence of anticipation for what would happen next. I can tell if an episode is good (to me), if I had to stop in the middle of it, and I really, REALLY didn't want to. If I had to stop in the middle of this one...? Honestly? I wouldn't care. Perfectly predictable storyline. It would have been easy to add some neat little twists in here and there. Maybe that's why I was so dissapointed? Because where there would have been twists in a normal Natsume fashion, there were none. This is by no means a real insult. I don't feel like sugar-coating anything today. It remains to be a brillant episode, that is 10 times better than most anime that's out there (to me). I'm looking more forward to the 5th episode of which they previewed at the end of this one. So I'll keep my eyes open and hope that we get something that'll keep me interested. Yeah, I could see everything that happened from a mile away. Well, at least it made me smile. |

| Cuteness <3 I lurv this show too ;__; |
| I am in complete awe of this series' ability to get even better with every consecutive episode. Natsume was portrayed brilliantly in this one, and his character is well-enough developed that you can sort out what caused him to act the way he did with ease (and, as others mentioned already, predict it). I can't say I agree with the comment about plot twists here. Natsume's strength partially lies within its predictability- it's all a part of the atmosphere, and this is a heavily atmospheric show. Although I would agree that this one was probably a bit slow paced for the majority of viewers. |

| it was really, really cute <3 Tamaaa. so tiny~~ and the horns, nyaaaa~~~ <3 it seems like in this season Natsume collects himself quite a nice boy-harem >D first, Nushi-sama, Gin, Natori-san, now Tama. and we have next shota in the preview >D |
| Another great episode. Tama was just too cute and the scenes with Nyanko-sensei and the egg were hilarious. |
| Yet another great (although quite predictable) episode. Nyanko-sensei and Tama were just great. I hope this keeps up. |
 |
| Nyanko-sama is too great, I would want a "pet" like this any day ;) Fantastic heart warming episode once again even if animation quality dropped a bit, but the realationship between Tama, Natsume and Nyanko made the trick (and not to forget Natsume's foster parents) as always. As some have said before, it was predictable, but that's precisely the point of a great slice of life / surnatural series : you know what's going to happen, you know how it works, but... it still works. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Tama is just..too adorable : ). and again, Nyanko-sensei has made my day |
     |
| why is this so good? D: I don't want natsume ever to end ;_; |

| At first I thought Too bad it was no Guardian Character. xD Well, after I went Awww. |

| So many bittersweet episodes in one series. And Tama may just have been too cute for my brain to comprehend. |
| My anime list |
| teh cuteness. other than tat, it's an ok episode. would love to know abt the nezumi guy n his master though |
 |
| I want a Tama-chan. ;________; |
Shana is love.       |
| tama was so cute until the huge chicken dragon came out. it shocked me so much that i said out loud, wth is that, damn that's ugly. greath episode as usual. |

At least for me the point is that it's pleasantly calming. I simply enjoy watching this when I'm tired or stressed out. |
| Enjoyed the episode, the story was really nice, Tama was quite the lovable little character. |
 |
| Tama wa kawaii desu!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so the episode was overly predictable. This was seriously one of the cutest episodes of any anime that I have ever seen. I'm fine with cute and predictable once in a while ;-) SOOOOO KAWAII!!! LOL |
| Great episode =] Natsume is still so kind hearted |
     |
| Story got soo predictable that i just skipped to last 5 minutes just watch tama-chan animated in it's adult form.. |
| Aww it was so cute when it was small >< but I guess it's fine grown up as well, although it would be nice to see another character join the group even though Nyanko-sensei is still awesome xD |
| I really, really enjoyed this episode. When Tama-chan first hatched he reminded me of the little fox boy. I love how Natsume loves and cares for the youkai so much. |
 |
Great ep.!! KAWAIIIIIIII!!TAMA!!!!But awww...I wanted 2 know wat was inside of tat nest!!! |
 |
| Very cute. I think that Tama left an egg at the bottom of the nest that he made. |
 |
| what a cute episode =^_^= |
| TIME TO LIVE FOREVER BABY! http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=19549 Please join if you love Asian Cinema :) |
| Aww i hate good byes and parting. Another good episode imo, and nyanko seems to be getting kinder or is that just me? looking forward to the rest of the series |
 |
| Wow, that was another great episode. Sensei was all paternal on this episode. The little chick was cute. I wonder if Natsume learned the lesson of being a parent? But I don't understand, he knew what was left behind? What was it?!?! Its going to be sad once I finish this season. I wish they make another soon. |
| So cute! |
 |
| The little Tama-chan was cute.. nyanko sensei was fun.. it may taste better after it hatches :P |
| Osu! <img src="http://osu.ppy.sh/stat2/Thunderwolf1989-2.png" border="0" />  |
| The swallow from season1 was a lot better. This one... it was okay. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Cuteeee ^^ Nice episode, one of my fav |
| It was really sweet episode. Predictable, yes, but it doesn’t make it lose its magic. Tama-chan is so cute~♥ I want to have him~ It was nice seeing Nyanko-sensei and Natsume take care of him in a paternal way. Protecting and having to take care of someone is gratifying when you begin to feel love towards them. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| As much as i love this show, there's an awful lot of shota. Needs more loli to balance things out. |
