Reviews

Best show i have seen in a long time. Natsume Yuujinchou is thought-provoking, heart-warming, and emotional all in one. Every episode is fantastically made, giving viewers a wide variety of situations where they could place themselves in Natsume's shoes, not including the spirits of course. with many of these scenes there are moments that can be heart-breaking, sad, and can even bring a viewers who prepared themselves to let out a few tears, but what is so amazing about the anime is that it always finishes the episode with a warm ending, but not an ending that leaves viewers unsatisfied.

Story/Characters - 10
Given that it was only 13 episodes in length, the story progressed perfectly. But in some cases the order in which some episodes are watched doesn't really matter or affect the viewers understanding of the plot. in each episode natsume becomes involved with one or a group of spirits (Youkai as said in the anime). this encounter leads to a episodic adventure in which Natsume will help or solve that spirits problems. At a glance this sounds like a typical slice of life series, but what makes Natsume Yuujinchou stand out above the rest is the emotion that is put into each episode, friendship being one of them, because it is a big part of Natsume's past which is a source of much of the emotion in the series.

Sound - 10
The opening and ending songs are perfect. Nothing more can be said about them except that they are a perfect match for this show and its themes.

Overall - 10
Definitely worth watching.
