I’ve watched these anime series twice, both Natsume Yuujinchou and Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou. It’s so touching. I cries in the end of a few episode where the words was so true and touching. And every episode brings up some moral values where many Japanese anime makers didn’t border to think of. Love these series so much. Love Nyanko-sensei , love Natsume Takashi , and those funny, kind youkai. I’m looking forward to see more.

I have enjoyed this series as well. When I first seen this it actually reminde me of an anime called Mokke, which is a pretty good series too relating to two girls who have the similar ability to see spirits. You should check that out!

I really liked this anime series as well and what I found interesting was how the show focused on relationships so much. So many supernatural anime, IMO, focus more on how the spirits are more evil than good, tricky than honest, so it was interesting to see them given so many human qualities and actually have Natsume become attached to some of them. Also, it was nice to see Natsume grow as a person as well, and I strongly believe he has some lantet powers, he was able to summon various creatures and seemed to be less tired after releasing names as the series went on. Also, in the last episode, the glassses guy seemed to be attending a meeting that was about Natsume and it looked like there were both human and spirits there, personally I’m hoping for some actual antagonist next season.

I love this anime too. ^_^
I like the peacefulness, I agree with your post and also to KayDat. It really is like a breath of fresh air. :’p
The humour and touching-emotional storytelling is really well balanced. x’]

Wow, I never thought it has the Honey & Clover feel to it, maybe it does have that kind of feel though…maybe I should re-watch that series to check. -giggles- I haven’t watch it for a looong time. x’]
I can’t wait for the second season either. ^-^
It should get more interesting…hopefully, we’ll find out the truth behind Madara and Reiko’s relationship. :’3
Well, hopefully. x’3

@hayase Will try if I can make sense out of the raws

@KayDat Yeah, Natsume Yuujinchou really has a peaceful setting

@Yamcha Thanks for reading!

@Diego Oh yeah, I forgot to mention about the music. I especially love the ending theme. It fits the mood of the series quite well!

@Crazyanimegirl A good series it was!

This was a great show… can’t wait until January when the new season starts. I’ve noticed too that Natsume Yuujinchou has been compared to Mushishi. Although slightly similar as both can see things other can’t, they’re totally different. Everything about the Series was good. From the music, the acting and the scenery, it was a good one!

Tallying up all series released to date, Natsume Yuujinchou easily wins my vote for 2008’s Best. It has all the elements of a solid release: great production values, refined character designs, good voice acting, soothing music, likeable characters (it’s particularly strong on that point – even minor ones like kogitsune-kun earned my approval), and a story that strikes an excellent balance between action and relaxing slice-of-life moments. Add my name to those lining up with hands outstretched for season 2.

Re: Madara defeating Reiko – an interesting topic for speculation. That should keep me busy until the next season arrives.

Excellent summary and review. Natsume is a great show that could very well be a contender for 2008’s best anime.

Finally got around to watching the last episode. I love watching shows that are so peaceful and calm. Like a breath of fresh air, it’s quite refreshing. =]

Can’t wait till the next season.
