| More natsume is always good, glad that it's not died down, every year or so we get something new. |
| NICE!!!! Shame it isn't a new series, but any new Natsume if always appreciated. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| so happy to see this !!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Sigh only two episodes and it's in spring 2021 but still more episodes are always welcomed. |
 |
| I would prefer a new season but this is still good news! |
| You can never have enough of nyanko sensei |
 |
| I am really happy with this announcement. P.S. I'm sad though, because the video is blocked in my country. T_T |
 |
| Considering the manga is still ongoing and the success of the anime I wouldn't be surprised if they announce a new season when they air these episodes. More Natsume is always welcome ♥ |
| Kinda lame. ANN said this was a movie so I was hyped for big budget |
 |
| I don't care if this is a movie or special episodes, I'll watch it for sure. More Natsume is always welcome. |
  |
| You have NO IDEA how happy I am with this news!!!! I am always happy for more Natsume Yuujinchou content! Sad it isn't a new season, but any new Natsume Yuujinchou content is always welcome! |
  |
| Thanks a lot for this news.I'll be waiting for its new releases. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| for a sec I thought it was a new season |
| How far is the final season of the anime from the original manga? Do they have a big reason not to do the new season? |
 |
| I can't believe this thing had 6 seasons! and the people want more! this is like xxxHOLiC on ritalin. The two start pretty much the same way with a bored protagonist and cattish benefactor. The difference though, is that Natsume is about as interesting as dishwater and a cat is no substitute for Yuuko. |
| Love isn't dead when Natsume Yuujinchou is still around. ♡♡♡ |
| Will watch for sure. The movie is on my PTW, I need to catch up. |
 |
| I'm very very very happy with this news!! Natsume Yuujinchou is such a healing story and that is why we are still so "hype" about it all these years down the line. It makes our hearts smile! I've watched every single major release of Natsume and even read the manga up to about chapter 80 for this very reason. It got so good in the manga that I had to stop myself because I really want to see it fresh when it is animated. It starts giving insight into Natsume's past and it got me a little shook. I'm tempted to continue reading T_T but I will wait for the day they decide to give us a full season continuing the story. In the mean time, we will hold on with these 2 episodes. Bring it onnnnnnnn!!!! |
hahaha Naru, also how I felt when I learned how to read all my Kana. Barakamon is everything!!:'D |
| Oh was unaware of this until now, elated to hear this good news. |
| Not a whole season? Oh well, better than nothing. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |

I just watched this show but was about to drop it because it gets repetitive, but I'm also curious about that backstory that they are slowly releasing like crumbs. I'm glad I watched it till the end and I hope we get more in the future. |
