| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode was kinda thrilling considering it takes place at a school setting. Ofc, unusual events happen and Natsume gets involved. Interesting to see Nishimura getting some screen time this episode. |

| Normal friend's side when Natsume first transferred. He notices Natsume is always alone and wanted to help him out. He unconsciously got trapped by the ayakashi and became darkhearted. Natsume helped him out. He, in return, helped him with origami. His brother, who is busy with university entrance exam thus his mood is usually not good, also helped Natsume in his way. Another normal friend's side. He got along with Natsume as well more with Kimura-san's character. Future planning... He also unconsciously got trapped in a space created by an ayakashi searching for a bell. |

| It's always nice too see how friendship is formed. And it was worth seeing the past, what happened before the first season. I still wonder about a few things tho. |

| Sad week continues now with this heartwarming episode of Natsume, showing up more of his past, watching how he becomes friends with his closer school friends... boy, their sight of natsume is pretty deep that "I want to stay here even if it's hard" thing that Natsume said has a very powerful meaning. how much he appreciates the Fujiwara family wanting to stay with him, he wouldn't bear to lose them over a Youkai, so that means the "hard" part that talk between Nyanko-sensei and Natsume when they saved Nishimura shed a Manly tear :'( |

| This is a filler, right? Or is it an extra chapter? Either way, the episode is as beautiful as always. I'm supposed to be sleeping, but when I skimmed through the episode and remembered this was about his normal friends... |
 |
| I really liked this episode. Learning more about a couple of his first high school friends was really interesting. To (not) see things from their perspective was cool. I've watched every season, and even though the episodes are mainly episodic, there is a slow spiral of info being built that deepens our understanding of everything. This show is like The X-Files had a baby with Bob Ross' The Joy of Painting. Bob's ASMR voice and the show's super understated tone remind me a lot of what happens with Natsume, except with weird stuff from The X-Files. |

| Beautiful episode...and glimpse into old Natsume. He really changed a lot. I am thankful for Nishimura and Kitamoto too. |
| I like how we finally know the backstory between the group of friends! So adorable <3 |
 |
| NATUSME!!!!! Only this show can make me relax in less then the first few seconds of the OP. such a stress reliever *_* Had a great time seeing the Kitamoto & Nishimura chapters animated - I was hoping to see it one day and my wish was answered ^_^. Though.. Is it just me or did the Seiyuu of Reiko got changed (felt a different voice in the preview compared to last seasons) .. O: |
 [/url]  |
| An episode from Satoru and Atsushi's perspective this time. Felt like a nice change of pace. I liked it. Great episode as usual. |
  |
| It's nice to know how both Nishimura and Kitamoto viewed Natsume when he first appeared in their lives and how certain circumstances eventually led up to their friendship. I'm glad these two are a part of Natsume's life 'cause they taught Natsume experiences friends usually do and helped him be himself :) Also, Nishimura....Nyanko-Sensei's a cat, not a girl lol |
| lmao just because this episode was gay the rating has dropped XD |
| Oh, God! That episode was so beautiful. As always, every episode makes me love this anime more. I'm having a feeling that Nishimura and Kitamoto know that Natsume can really see a youkai, but they decided to not ask Natsume about it because they thought that Natsume will get away from them because they think that Natsume don't want them two in danger or something (just like Natsume with Tanuma). Ugh. This episode is just everything and it makes me trust Nishimura and Kitamoto more. As always, the ED didn't help at all. It made me cry YET AGAIN! :') |

| Lovely episode. Nice to see how Nishimura & Kitamoto became friends with Natsume as well as know more about them. Natsume's lucky to have them. Nice to see Sasada again. Would be nice to see more of her in the show. Cool more Reiko next ep. |

| Great episode like another... - Nice to see how Nishimura and Kitamoto POV. - natsume with hair bit messy looks so hot - Kitamoto, Nishimura, tanuma, and Taki already become natsume bestfriends but sasada? Haaha... Natsume always avoid her. lol Next episode we have Reiko. yeayy |
| I love when this show gives some back story & depth to the supporting characters. This world has so many layers. Just beautiful and effortless. Kyaaaaaaa~~~ |
| We saw more of the past and now we know why Natsume's friends with Kitamoto and Nishimura. The second part of the episode was a little creepy, but very nice and atmospheric. Finally we see the event's from normal people's POV. Can't wait for the next week's episode, we'll finally see a lot more of Reiko than we ever saw. |
 |
| Pretty interesting to see how Natsume became friends with Kitamoto and Nishimura, especially seeing as they've both seen some hints of Natsume's encounters with yokai and hence have some suspicions. Whether that's gonna be relevant or not is another matter entirely, but it's an interesting allusion nevertheless. Also, really excited that we're gonna be seeing Reiko again next week; it feels like it's been a long, long time since we last really saw her. |
| Wow! Really good at telling a new perspective, always the same topic, that is, the past of Natsume. I really liked this episode because it is a way of knowing Nishimura and Kitamoto, both as characters and in the role they have in their families respectively. I hope that in the future, they will make us better known, even the character of Sasada. <3 |
 |
| Yay Reiko next week! |
| I liked the episode and learning that his two normal friends actually had an inkling of Natsume's other life even though Natsume tries so hard to protect those two from it is nice. It's like knowing that Natsume is not fighting alone no matter what. They had a feeling about it even before Natsume met Tanuma and Taki. I felt like the episode needed more of something though. Kind of anticlimactic compared to the last two episodes. I was expecting to hear more about Natori and the book, but this is a nice episode too. |
| Nishimura and Kitamoto, their first meet with Natsume!!! A episode full of remembrance in a very pretty espidode!!! |
| I like these episodes that look back into the past. It's heartwarming to see how much Natsume has grown. |
 |
| Lovely and heartwarming episode as usual. I'm so glad Natsume had his own good friends after getting transferred on the other school. I liked Natsume Yuujinchou for giving a chance/getting an episode to those far side characters to have their perspective towards Natsume. |
| I thought this was a flashback episode, but all the talk about university confused me. That's usually saved for 3rd year high school. But he just transferred to this school in the episode. This timeline is confusing to me. This must have been about 3rd year middle school, but why were they talking about transferring to university and no mention of choosing a high school |
 |
| Interesting focus shift to be honest! Quite liked it! |
 |
| Nice to see watch the show from the side character's perspective. |

| It's always nice to see Nishimura and Kitomoto's backstories They're like nice friends that everyone want Every characters in this anime are just special |
"Signature removed"   |
| Not the most interesting characters to focus an episode on. |
 |
| Nice episode, helps reinforce the fact that even though it feels like Natsume's the only one with this gift, there are friends he can count on and trust. |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| His friends are nice, he is lucky that he found them. |

pgmhecateii said: But since Nishimura saw Natsume and Nyanko-sensei, doesn´t this mean he knows Nyanko-sensei can talk? Since he passed out before he heard them talking, I think the two most plausible answers are either A) he chalked it up to a hallucination/dream since he fell unconscious or B) he forgot about it because he blacked out before/after hearing them talk and/or he had more pressing issues after he woke up in the hospital. Now about that one scene... Is this just an awkward translation from Crunchyroll? I don't remember reading this in the manga chapter. Unless it was added for some weird giggles. :P |
 |
| Idk why i'm crying during episode. I want to see more Kitamoto and Nishimura. i love them |
| I really like how this episode gave us the perspective of people unable to see youkai. It helps to both reinforce what Natsume has been dealing with through the eyes of his peers as well as to appreciate the fortunate company that he now keeps. It's an important lesson in how, even if you can't fully understand someone else or their circumstances, you can still take them at their own pace. |
 |
| Ahhh, I love their friendship. I’m happy that we got to watch on how he became friends with his closer school friends... |
| Nice episode. It was interesting see how Natsume became friends with Kitamoto and Nishimura. |
 |
| Finally an episode on those two "Friend A" and "Friend B" characters. Took them long enough. Until now we never saw them as anything beyond just a couple of boys Natsume hung out with. They never got much development and were pretty much the stereotypical friend characters you find in visual novels, and almost background characters compared to even one off characters like Ogata Yuriko from Natsume's middle school years. |
| this season feels really special, probably my favorite so far |
| It's good to see how Natsume meet his friends, it gave hopes to introvert people like me. |
