| I've never seen it before. I suppose it might be a good idea to stick it onto my ptw list to watch sometime in the future. |

| its my favorite anime, i have a natsume shrine and worship it everyday |
| The manga was nice as well, I don't see why people would hate it. It was a relaxing show to watch, no heavy drama, great ost, and va's. Also a big fan of hotarubi no mori e, which has the same author. |

| Never seen it but if someone were to hate my favorite characters i simply wud not care |
| There are haters for literally every show, don't know why your focusing on one this one group of people. I personally enjoy the show a lot, but Mushishi improves on it in almost every way. |

| season 2 was awesome, the rest of it was hit or miss, a few really good episodes with 2 or 3 meh ones in between. |

The arcs were really hit or miss for me, but the episodic ones were pretty good. Season 2 is my favorite as well, surprised most people like the first season more lmao Dat episode with the one ghost thingy in the tree from when he was a kid, I crie evrytiem. But really I should rewatch the whole thing, I don't remember much about the show just that season 2 was my favorite. |

| Who dares to hate Natsume Yuujinchou? Those kinds of people should be bombed. |

Normally I score higher than the rating itself. |

| Explain how someone can hate this piece of art. Please. |
| I know right, only heartless bastards could hate this show. They need to be enlightened by Natsume, the purest boy in all of anime. |
| Speaking of this series being hated on, literally every episode discussion of every season, including the movie, has gotten around 26-28 1/5 downvotes. Now every episode poll has a huge chunk of 1/5s that looks quite unnatural. What shocks me more is that not only would they downvote episode discussions (like seriously, what does that benefit), but it's Natsume of all things. Like, who would hate this series so much that they'd dedicate days making alt accounts and downvoting every individual episode. Neither is series ridiculously highly-rated, nor it is immensely popular. And its fanbase is pretty small and quiet too, so this is kinda bewildering :P |

| I loved Mushishi but this one was boring |
 |
| If you don’t like Natsume Yuujinchou you’re heartless and have no idea how to feel emotion. Madara is too superior for them. They couldn’t possibly understand Natsume to begin with. |
 |
| Honestly this series is a bit overrated here in MAL. Natsume is a useless main character unlike Ginko of Mushishi. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| What monster hates a show as wholesome and beautiful as Natsume?? Disgusting. |

| This show is pretty far from perfect lol. The only reason its score is so high is because for the most part the only people who knew this show existed and bothered to watch it are the kind of people who love this sort of show anyway; resulting in its score being grossly inflated. If a wider more mainstream audience bothered to watch this its score would have dropped like a rock. Now if you're a fan of the Iyashikei and Yokai genres hey I'm sure it's a masterpiece. However most people are not, so for your average person with an actual brain that needs actual stimulation not "cozy" bullshit where nothing happens; this show is mind numbingly boring (outside a few good stories in it). Everything I just said applies to Mushishi as well which I'm sure everybody here loves too. |

WONDERLESS169 said: Kyotosomo said: dont you think its a little flawed to be judging shows on one scale its like a restaurant reviewer comparing how good the food at a burger place is to how good another restaurant's sushi? It makes no sense compare slice of life to slice of life to shounen or other sorts of stories with an overarching plot. Some people want a relaxing episodic show it has nothing to do with not having a brain. I mean heck Im an A student studying literature at a university level and i love this show? Cause different genres have different purposes and audiences.This show is pretty far from perfect lol.

Everything I just said applies to Mushishi as well which I'm sure everybody here loves too. Entertainment is entirely subjective so all that really matters is how much one personally enjoyed a show and personally I found it mostly boring. So in that sense it's silly to propose we only rate shows based on the context of their genre. HOWEVER yes if one were to try to "objectively" rate a show you can either [A] rate it based on how enjoyable it will be to fans of its genre or [B] rate it based on how enjoyable it will be to the broader (in this case anime consuming) audience. Which is why I specifically mentioned all three stating that if you're a fan of the Iyashikei and Yokai genres it's probably a masterpiece but if a broader audience was exposed to this show most would not enjoy it and its score would drop significantly. And whilst I can applaud what it does well, it doesn't change the fact that at the end of the day I was not entertained the majority of the time I watched this show. WONDERLESS169 said: I dont wanna commit suicide but these neagtive reviews make me very upset. Like dont watch this expecting it to act like demon slayer or something. Its called Natsume's book of friends this is clearly not the same vibe. I hate how shounentards act like the only way to write a story is like any typical shounen does. It really makes anime look one dimensional if we start treating the medium like that. Shounen is a minority of avid anime viewers (especially the kind of people who would use this site) and ironically the majority of people really into the shounen genre usually don't watch a lot of anime outside of it (just a few ongoing shonen shows at any given time maybe the occasional action heavy one/two cour every now and then). That's not most people who negatively reviewed this show. The people who gave negative reviews did so because it's a genuinely boring show for your typical person. This show would have a FAR lar lower score and FAR more negative reviews if a broader audience had at all had decided to watch this show. But for the most part only fans of its genres knew it existed and bothered to watched it so the score ended up being super hyper inflated. And whilst personally I'm more of a fan of shows with strong characters and strong plots, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a "chill" / "supernatural" / "storytime" type show like this too. Beautiful semi-similar shows with a foot planted in this one's genres (instead of both) of like The Ancient Magus' Bride or Restaurant To Another World or Violet Evergarden were all great to me even though they're definitely not my typical kind of show. But this one just really leaned WAY to far into trying to be "cozy" to the point where unless you're REALLY into this kind of show; it's going to end up being pretty boring for your typical viewer who needs at least some level of stimulation from their entertainment. There's a reason the Iyashikei genre is so extremely niche. |
