Keeps returning names to other youkais and he's tired.

lol @ Nyanko sensei on his top and is heavy.

Fluffy creature is cute, but actually there are more. There's another youkai looking for the ring? Then that creature had the ring and the seal stuff on nyanko sensei won't be taken off until the ring's returned. The youkai friends are helping him out, so the house won't be burnt.

The red balls of stopping blood? So it returned. When getting it, two youkai friends came and shocked it, so it ran away. They flew after returning the ring. So Natsume's kindness is back. That youkai came and said as she thought it was stolen by him. Those fluffly youkais gathered together to save him! Nyanko-sensei's managed to get the seal out and attacked her.

So cute! Natsume and Nyanko-sensei being scared was hilarious.
That little ball of fur makes me want to snuggle up with him. It reminded me of the youkai that looked like a little girl last season in cuteness. :)

"There's another one!" HAH.

They make BOINGY NOISES! <3 love it

Well then, she just dropped it and now she's all angry and even saying he only has three days to find it when he didn't even do anything.. lol. I'm rampaging.

WHAT. HOW DO THEY COME UP WITH THE HAIRBALL FOR THE RING?! Hilarious :')

Now whenever I see UCHIHA Madara, I'll imagine him with a piece of paper across half his face xD.

Aww, that hairball's sweet :)

"HE'S HERE!"

To tell the truth, for me this episode wasn't that well-done. It was a bit random and uncoordinated. It was engaging though so that's good. I just didn't get that sweet, fulfilled feeling like I usually do in a Natsume Yuujinchou episode.

That music at the very end when the Karu dropped him off was absolutely beautiful. It always plays and I MUST get some sheet music for it like right now.

Natsume's monologue at the end was beautiful as usual though :)

LOVING the ED. Really fit the mood. :D

I'm glad that it returned to the sweet stories what know and love. The ending was just sweet!

It seems like we might have a longer arc next time.

Natsume is such a sweetheart. Oh God, that part where he applied human medication to the furball youkai was so adorable.

And yeah, that furball thing is the most adorable-looking youkai ever.

I'm tired of saying how amazing this show is, instead i'll say it's breathtakingly amazing! This is a show that can go on forever and never lose its charm (coughbleachnarutoonepiececough). The ED theme was really effective this episode, such a sweet song!

This show is awesome; I hope there is a 5th season; This is one of the few shows I get so exited to watch that I have to drop everything when it comes out; I wish more people would follow it and I wish I could rate is a 11 or a 12.

Those hairballs make interesting pets if they don't panic and spread there poison that is.

And the ghost that kept bothering Natsume was certainly ungrateful after Natsume released him.
Just attacking him because he/she lost her ring which was his/her own fault to start with.

While it had its cute moments I have to say this was one of the weakest stories so far. The whole deal with the tangled ring was so contrived as were a bunch of other details.

Amazing episode once again. Calming and full of emotions. I adored the Karu in the following,

That graceful dragon saving Natsume was splendid! The Karu were very interesting indeed. I did find myself T_T in the spoiler
for this is the moment that Fluffball gave the ring back on top of giving out the message to his friends to not go the way where the Youkai want to fight them. The effects with the light were good there too.

To make it quick despite Nyanko having great comedy, I mostly applaud him for the following,

That will teach pardon me but BITCH youkai of being more polite. I really did not like the attitude. Especially after having its name given back. You don’t do the shit it did towards Natsume. It was surprising that Nyanko could burn off that seal and did not do earlier. May edit later.

D’aww, so adorable. I’d love to have a fluffy, furball youkai like that. … as long as it doesn’t bounce around hurting itself ;_;
Natsume was yelling quite a lot in this episode as well, lol. I laughed every time.

Oh, I heard some new background music pieces this episode~ I’m eagerly waiting for the disc that contains both this and last’s seasons soundtrack <3

MY HEART, NATSUME YUUJINCHOU IS ALWAYS SO BREATHTAKING AND HEART-WARMING!

This really is one of the best slice of life series I've ever seen! We're 43 episodes in total I think and I can't believe we'll be at 50 before this season ends. Wow! I also hope it continues after that though.

I'm really enjoying the dynamic between Natsume and the Youkai this season. Especially in this episode, but in the previous two as well, it's fun to see how they come to his rescue at a moments notice and even display near-worship. I kind of wanted that one little Kara to move in with Natsume. Madara really does need a live-in friend. XD

Even though I don't want it to, I can't help but think of how this series will end. Will Natsume simply go on living his life like this, or as a skilled exorcist, until he too passes away like his grandmother, then passing the torch to the next Natsume. It's a sad thought, but I wonder if Madara will continue to follow him even after Natsume returns the last name in the book. I wouldn't be surprised if they stick together though! A pessimistic part of me thinks Natsume might die young. =/

The writer in me wonders if something could happen in the future that makes it impossible for Natsume to be close to other humans, and so he delves deeper into the world of Youkai than any human ever has before...

This really is one of those shows that gets me going, creatively. As Anisamar said, it's just so breath-taking!

Cuuuute youkai too, reminds me of the white little creatures in Totoro. ♡

Yes they did!!!!!!!!
i adored this episode. Nyanko-sense on natsume'e head. the look of horror as natsume it realizes the "kitten" doesn't have a head... or any limbs.
I remember the manga translated natusme's surprise in the class room as "they multiplied!" instead of "another one!" which was really funny because he is in math class.
btw does anyone else adore the Japanese word for fluffy? "fuwafuwa" lol. just saying it makes me giggle.
finally. Natsume really looked mature/cool in this episode. especially when he was dropped off by the dragon looking flock of Karu. he looked at it with an expression of amazement, it was an expression that looked good on him.

I've already given the past 3 seasons 10/10, and I noticed in this one that they've stepped up the animation, and everything I loved about the past seasons is being done even better.
When the 3rd season started airing, I was just hoping it was as good as the first 2, and it blew me away because it was so much better. I was kind of expecting the 4th season to be a let down, because I didn't see how the show could get any better than it already was...And I was very, very wrong.

Many hilarious things happened in this episode.
The one I find most funny is that Natsume has photosynthetic memory...rewinding and zooming in and out....

And yeah weaklings only think about themselves like that ungrateful youkai.
It turned out to be quite touching when Natsume's friends searched for a bunch of antidote for him...more than what he needed.

Yeah seriously right =_= it just goes to show that not every youkai is good and grateful. The karu are soooo adorable!!! The squeaky sound they make and all. They were beautiful when migrating away...like fireflies. That's something I wish I could see in real life. I laughed at the beginning when Natsume and Nyanko-sensei screamed after seeing the karu's eyes, and also when Natsume first picked it up and realized the "little cat" had no head, arms or legs! XD
