So a training camp...interesting.

This episode had an unique feel imo with the masks and mountain spirits. Natsume doing his work as usual and expected.

Field trip. One of the four masks is ayakashi. Next day after storm, seeing another ayakashi on the boat... lol @ brown cat. That one of the masks got to teacher.

Water?! and that mask changed to another person. Stories of 4 masks... 3 that everyone can see is the souls that gone. It was searching for something important, thus moving around people, for that youkai on the boat. It was kanzashi. The water in the building is gone.

Ishida-san's character's moving about yuujinchou now...

So Natsume helped out ones again even if he had a hectic school trip with all the things that where going on.
It was nice too see another surrounding again, that place seemed pretty isolated tho.

Wonderful episode.
Study camp for everyone.

Nyanko Sensei's Boar Piglet transformation was cute. Of course Taki was gonna hug him at the end.

Glad Natsume was able to help the protector find the Goddess's treasure.
Saying goodbye was sweet.

The three masks are the protectors of the mountain but the truth is, there's another hidden mask that cannot be seen by the normal eyes, only Natsume could see it. Another great episode for me, he helped the mountain goddess who's keep looking for her treasure. I cannot wait to see the next. :)

Great episode but for some reason the goddess reminds me of the youkai from the last episode , they both felt immature and i think it resembled what would happen to the other youkai , going into a love story with a human knowing you will get your heart broken but still doing it and saying you will be able to deal with it but in the end you neglect your work because of your own mistake , that felt very immature .
it's kind of nice that the ending of that goddess wouldn't be considered a happy ending .

The goddess's first appearance was super creepy, but by the end of the episode, I had tears. What moved me in this episode was the loyalty of the last protector. It's not like we knew anything really, about the protector, or the goddess, yet a simple tale can still have impact. I loved the flowing water imagery they had when Natsume was spoke about how the protector must still be there, that is it still there.

Yet another amazing and ethereal episode of Natsume Yuujinchou! ^^
I love the heartwarming and emotional touch of these episodes, it's almost like, every week when I get to watch a new episode, afterwards I feel like I'd just refreshed my mind at a spa - for the heart lmao
Honestly, I wouldn't mind if this show never changes. It's perfect the way it is, and I like how the passage of time in this show is gradual and slow, just like how time goes by in each of our lives. Before I knew it, Natsume became a second year?! It really shows you how much Natsume has gone through ever since entering high school, and with each ayakashi that Natsume is willing to help, and every story Natsume is willing to hear, he grows, little by little, with every experience, and I find that really beautiful. Natsume is a beautiful person (and I don't think anybody here disagrees bc he really is!!)
also ngl, when I heard Natori's voice in the preview I legit screamed LMAO, I'm really hopeless
(BUT EVERY NATORI EPISODE IS GUARANTEED TO BE AN EVENTFUL ONE LOL)

I liked it. I feel like if they extended the episode to a couple more minutes and added a little more emotion or details, it would be even better.
I love the last few scenes. My favorite was when he was at the shrine and gave his best wishes to the fourth mask before leaving.
I can't wait for the next episode...they're finally going to trek back to Natori and the book of friends...yes! I want to believe that Natori will still be the nice guy to Natsume.

Good episode as usual. Conveniently the lost hair pin was in 100 meters from where Natsume was staying and he found it after less than 20 minutes of searching. Wonder why it was so hard to find, probably because the goddess had her head underwater looking for it and couldn't see on the shoreline.

Most likely you feel that way because in this ep, unexpectedly, there was no real interaction between Natsume and the youkai, and the scenario was much more of a mystery.

Another great episode with great visuals, but I don't think she should have just left just like that, as a protector shouldn't she have a sense of duty?
The mask's deep sense of loyalty was so heartwarming.
And the way Nishimura reacted later to Natsume in the hallway made me crack up a bit for some reason XD who would shout something like that when your friend has bug on his body.
And is it just me or Natsume's eyelashes look more...thicker and prominent?


It may just be me, but I think Natsume's design has at times been changed to look more feminine. Not unsurprising, consider that it's a shoujo series.

Latest two episodes have been so grrreat. I mean, like the whole series has but this romantic stories have won my heart over.
Now, having said that let's stop for a moment and contemplate this:

I like that this week's episode looked at Natsume's fear of the unknown. He knows it's a youkai but he's not sure what it wants - which is what usually holds him back. I can't get enough of this series, it's just wonderful. The OST for this season has also been really beautiful (as usual).

The fact that it has changed context compared to school education is something that gives a certain uniqueness to the episode. To this we must also add the new madara livery, which gives further uniqueness to the whole episode, which cute Nyanko sensei! Very sweet and melancholic, even this time, the episode.

This gave me an unsettling feeling with those masks and the goddess with her head underwater. They were well meaning, though and the episode wasn't rushed and relaxing.

Natsume really need to stop behaving so weird around Nishimura. Unless he wants him to know...

Episode was nice (althought it's another youkai - human love story) but I don't understand why he fainted the first time he saw the goddess and the second time he was totally fine talking with her.

Nishimura is such a pervert, that's why I like him xD

As always bittersweet ending I guess
Knowing someday he'll disappear
I hope there will be only 3 masks too Natsume, I really hope so

Next episode, it's Natori's episode and he knew about "Book of friends"

Another love story between a human and a youkai, this one ended with her heartbroken.
It was nice that she still has someone to look after her.

Not a very good episode again. Nyanko-sensei's boar piglet transformation was the best thing in this episode. He looked so hilarious. x3

Taki obviously couldn't leave him alone, hehe.

Natsume is such a baka, he sees and talks to an actual Goddess and what does he do? Nothing! He doesn't even ask her anything?! Like literally WTF?!

Why didn't ha ask her anything about, I dunno the after life, or how about ask her a favor in return for him returning her hairpin?!
