My favorite aspect of this season (as has been for the past couple seasons) was the development that we get to see for Natsume and his friends. Unlike previous seasons, though, I feel like this season started to bring Natsume's two worlds together in a way we hadn't seen before, which is something I was highly anticipating. I don't know if the story will take it past the bits we got in this season, but I really hope so. Another thing I really want to see more of that we got a little bit of during this season was some internal conflict going on with Natsume. Like I said, there was some, but I would really love to see a point in the future where Natsume has some pretty serious struggles with the world of youkai and humans.
There was more development for Reiko this season, as I was hoping for from last season, though it actually felt like a small bit of a decline from season five. However, I enjoyed the anime's way of telling her story this season because we got to hear more about her as a person in her own time rather than this person from however many years ago that could talk to youkai.
I will say this season, while amazing, seemed like a bit of a set up for what's to come. For example: who are Natsume's grandparents, really? How much power does Natsume actually have? Will there come a time when Natsume thinks it's best to open up to everyone in his life about youkai? Unfortunately, these questions don't get answered this season, but the set up is just as magical and fantastical as all the other seasons have been.
This anime really does take you to another world and I think, regardless of the fact that it may not start out as everyone's cup of tea, it's going to end up being a lovely anime for anyone to watch.
