I know it's months late as almost all my Natsume reviews are but I hope you enjoy reading the review :D

Natsume Yuujinchou is one of the very very few anime I consider an art. Always coming up with new stories and adding intereseting characters without being repetitve nor forced. It has been like that for many years and I hope it continues to be so.

This "Movie" is pretty much 2 different OVAs combined together. The 2 stories are based on the same themes, trust and friendship, and that might explain why they were grouped together.

The first story is about an adorable little Yokai called Mitsumi. Mitsumi is entrusted with the mission to awaken ,Gantetsu, the Yokai Master she follows. She is using a small map to get there but there is a small problem she faces while doing that, every other Yokai is trying to get that map to earn the reward from waking him up.

The second story is about Tanuma who just woke up from a very weird dream. He is then met by a unique visitor who came to his house and is starting to see him almost daily. Between the feeling of being happy to interact with the same Yokai Natsume sees and the feeling of not wanting to ask Natsume and making him worry, Tanuma goes on and starts meeting with the guy waiting to see what that will lead him to.

Both the stories were done brilliantly and their conclusions are ones that leave you satisfied.

The art, animation and overall direction were brilliant and the voice actors did a very good job. I personally loved Misumi's voice as it was so cute :"D

Overall, a 10/10. A really entertaining "Movie" that is just what I really needed to watch. Hoping to see more of Natsume soon.
Would recommend it and would recommend the whole series.
