In Natsume Yuujinchou, there is no faction more underrepresented than the exorcists, specifically the Matoba clan. While they’ve become more important in the plot as the series has continued and built on itself, they’re still mysterious people who we don’t know much about. Why do they do what they do? How do they justify the [...]

  The best thing about this episode is the preview of the Moon Splitting Festival! The coming arc is sure to make this season the best one yet, especially since this is already the third major manga arc included in Natsume Yuujinchou Shi. The true content of episode 8 entitled “When I was Deceived” is  [...]

Young Nanase vs. Youkai, now playable in Natsume Yuujinchou Fighter! Have you downloaded the OP single that came out this weekend? After several episodes, songs to tend to grow on me as I watch each week. I mention this on G+ previously, but I’d rank the OPs as Season 2 > 3 > 1 > [...]

Episode 08 - Bleh, this episode really didn’t hold back in constantly teasing about the possible appearance of Natsume’s grandmother, Reiko. We’ve never actually seen Reiko outside a blurry flashback of sorts, let alone interacting with a key character, so seeing her in person would’ve been a wonderful little treat. Alas, the teasing didn’t amount [...]

It’s not a bad thing to get to see a different perspective now and then. Though makes you wonder about people who just randomly start telling their life story XD. Just because you get stuck for a while in a well with someone doesn’t mean they care that much about you. Still joking aside it [...]

The spirit’s friend had been sealed in a stone, and the Book of Friends would probably free him from it. Natsume of course agrees, but is separated from Madara during the exchange. Madara comes across a well while [...]

Natsume in a bottle I could talk about Natsume here, but nah, Imma talk about Linsanity. Are you a Lindere? Cause this guy has taken the NBA by storm this past couple of weeks. I’m not the biggest basketball fan, but even I was watching when he dropped 38 on the Lakers. It’ll be very [...]

I have to say the highlight of the episode was seeing Nyanko’s Reiko disguise again. At least he mentioned how he can only really transform into those he ‘got a good look at.’ Of course you could argue that he will only transform into those that mattered to him. Even if his cover story was [...]

This is the Natsume’s Dogs’ new gang sign I’m back! Wait… where’s anaaga? She’s under the weather, so it looks like it’ll be just me after a week of just her. Hopefully we’ll reunite next week! Onto this week’s episode. This is the start of another 2-episode arc. After a little bit of Shogi playing, [...]

Episode 06 - Natsume Yuujinchou is known for it’s more atmospheric tone to the story, so this comedy oriented one took me by surprise. Nevertheless, Natsume Yuujinchou did a great job with meshing together comedy with some drama (courtesy of Nyanko-sensei). This was the 1st part to a 2-episode arc, which is a bit more [...]

Written by: Totali at Sea Slugs! Anime BlogSummary: With Tanuma’s help, Natsume becomes a good enough shogi player to beat his schoolmates. This usual group attends a nearby festival afterwards, where Natsume is eventually handed a flyer from a yokai. Noticing his strong spiritual power, two ayakashi attempt to capture Natsume. They flee, however, after they notice his friends approaching. A bottle [...]

This was easily the funniest episode of Natsume that I can remember. The moment I thought about Nyanko transforming into Natsume the comedy just took care of itself. We already knew from earlier series that he could transform into people (found it interesting the first one he turned into was Reiko) and that ability returned [...]

That mysterious transfer student This episode has been sitting in my laptop for a while, but I make sure that I’m in my bestest mood when I watch Natsume, and it has to be at night (the light in my room is better at night). Natsume deserves that special treatment, hehe. This episode gives it [...]

Episode 05 - After everything this series has put out so far, this by far was the weakest of the bunch. Nevertheless, it was still a decent episode that focused in on Natsume’s experiences in during his childhood, and once again, touches upon the sensitive subject of youkai vs humans. It’s a conflict that seems [...]

This season of Natsume has just been on the ball lately. Every week has been well done and they are giving us a great variety of stories. This time we get to see a dual vision of the same time spent by Natsume in one of his old towns. Have to say Yuriko was a [...]
