Not sure if calling a guy who’s no longer in his teens, cute, would actually be one right thing, but hey, Taki’s brother was actually a bit good-looking, so yeah lol. Though he looks so similar to Taki, so I’m not sure how these kids were assuming he her boyfriend lol. Anyway, I always think how it’d be more easy to tell people about youkais and everything than trying to hide it, as I mean of course, brother was processed by a youkai itself in the end. Telling them would make things easy, even if they don’t believe.

A haunted place will be a haunted place in the end, so yeah, their attachment to the house might not let them leave that place, but I guess, it’s actually better to go find a new place and live there. Will save such experiences lol. Though hey, they are good experiences, so I guess it’s fine:)

Like sister, like brother. Taki's brother also thinks that Nyanko-sensei is totally adorable. :3

"Natsume! My eclair!"

Yep. Better not forget it, Natsume.

Seems Taki's brother mistook their relationship at the end.
While romance has never been a thing in this anime Taki and Natsume are pretty close so it's possible.

The siblings had some talking to do but it seems things worked out in the and with some help from Natsume.
And it wasn't really something the was caused by Ayakashi.

Taki is back!!! I almost forgot she was in the same school as Natsume (it's been a time since she appeared in an episode) Natsume just thought "he is cute" and that's okay... and Isamu liked sensei too! As always I cried and I was suprise when the brother said he didn't mind at all if Natsume ends with Taki... and that the youkai waved bye xD

This show isn’t a romance, but I would love to see Natsume and Taki get together. This was such a wonderful episode.

Oblivious bro didn't even question why Natsume had the sudden frantic questions about the phoenix bookshelf that he'd have no way of knowing about, which led to Taki being saved from injury.... it's always the dense ones that end up attracting the yokai.

A heaping helping of wholesome to counteract last week's creepiness, a welcome return.

This is such a relaxing way to end my Anime' day of new Season shows. Was a bit worried at first, but everything worked out in the end. What an unusual family Taki has.

@Tarrian I cannot even count how many Real Life paranormal shows where trouble allegedly started because of some old doll. Yes, burn it!

What a good episode! I really like to see the different relationships the siblings had with their grandfather and their similarities in habits as well😂. I enjoyed seeing this new brother character. We didn’t get to see him for long but they packed in a lot of his personality and I think it left a big impression. This one 100% made me happy cry.

Lovely episode. Taki's brother is a nice guy. It was funny how Natsume was like, he's older than me? Considering the height difference.

Bro likes Nyanko just like Taki :D

Loved how at the end he even gave his seal of approval to Natsume!

Taki and Natsume would make a good pair, but it's hard to say if the show will ever focus on romance. One can only wish.

The brother definitely was... something, i totally get not being able to show your emotions or communicate correctly with the ones you love but he seems like he cares a lot for Taki like her grandfather,

Anyway overall classic melancoly Natsume episode of the week, this show wouldn't feel right if i'm not on the verge of tears when the ending song starts almost each week, reminds me of Aria/Amanchu that way when i think about it.

loved it! (though i love every episode lol) taki's brother was really cute, and i love seeing episodes about natsume's friends. the best part is how similar taki and her brother are when it comes to cute things.

Another great episode. Made me tear up a bit at the end. I always love to see more of Taki and learn more about her family. This season has been a 10 out of 10 so far.

TAKI IS BACK, AND HER N HER BRO ARE TAKING NAMES! Giga fun episode, surprised about two things:
1 - she didn't call Nyanko-sensei "Nyan Nyan sensei" even once.
2 - How did Nyanko turning into Madara at the end NOT destroy Taki's house when saving her?

I didn't expect Taki's college-age brother to be so much shorter than Natsume, lol. He looks more like a younger brother than an older brother.

So Natsume has gotten Isamu's blessing...I'm all for it, especially since Taki already knows that yokai exist, Natsume's ability to see them, and that Nyanko-sensei can talk. Would be nice if their friendship develops into something more in their future.

Cute brother didn't bat an eye upon witnessing Natsume talking to an empty space, then seeing Madara and then sensei drinking soda...

I absolutely loved this episode. Such a great mix of comedy and heartfelt moments.
But watching this episode late at night with my sisters 8+ hours away from me was a mistake and I will be crying for the foreseeable future

@Aversa As far as I remember, the author once said in an interview long ago that she deliberately avoids romance because she is not interested in writing it through force. But I don’t know if anything has changed over the years. There are clearly a few characters in this episode, that kinda ship them.

@Sorvarin This girl clearly wants to be friends with her, not date her. Moreover, she still thinks that Taki has a boyfriend. And as I said above, the author deliberately avoids romance here. At all.

The ‘flowery stones’ Taki’s grandfather mentioned certainly existed, though they couldn’t find them in the river - the stones with glowing blue flowers from the stonewasher episode (Roku, Ep. 2).

I love it when the series includes ayakashi or lore which had been featured in past episodes. Especially in this case, with the flower stones from the youkai world making it to the human world as a myth. Though human sayings interpret finding such beautiful stones as just ‘lucky’, there is of course deeper meaning behind their origin in the youkai world. And Natsume is also seeing this ‘transfer’ - I’m pretty sure he made the connection to the stones he did see in person.

Taki's back, missed her and love her. Her brother's an amusing character. Natsume got the brother's approval too. Ship sail when?
