It is likely that the rest of the three seasons will also get dubbed before the new season air.
It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult.

Oh God, I was really surprised when I got the notification. The best and happiest thing I've gotten this year so far. I'm too happy!

Oh and today is July 1st, Natsume's birthday. It's his birthday but it's his fans who got a surprise and a gift. It's too happy but I want to cry :")

I so so SO FRIGGIN EXCITED!!!! Natsume Yuujinchou is my favorite anime ever, and holds a very special place in my heart! I'm literally crying tears because I've missed this series so much. The music totally brings me back. The nostalgia hits really hard.

I can't wait to hear Natsume's voice again. It's what started my love for Kamiya Hiroshi's voice acting.

This is comfort anime to the max TvT
