| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Female youkai who wants her glasses back, which was in pieces by the storm, and got Tanuma. They are in the pieces gathering for Natsume's hurting eye. And there's another youkai who breaks glasses searches for them, too. lol @ a bit of yaoi moment!! (I did mention about it but forgot to re add it when I edit into this short comment) It continues next ep. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| hehe~ I'm looking forward to the next episode ^^ I really like Tanuma and Taki!! It's good that we finally get to see them more (even though we've seen them pretty often this season...) Ahhhhh~ Finally Tanuma can experience the world like Natsume does ~♥ :) |
 |
| Sensei looked so funny with his face pressed against the glass. |
| I really love this kind of episodes where Tanuma and Taki take the focus (well this time Tanuma more than Taki) :3 And the relationship between those three became closer, I'm looking forward the next episode!! |
 |
| "Ikayaki I want you!" lol |
 |
| Finally we kind of see what Tanuma sees (shadowlike form of mirror). I like how the comedic effect of those two schoolmates watching the trio dig - must be awkward to see. |
 |
| Great, a 2-episodes arc, and with Taki and Tanuma even ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Only 3 episodes left T-T, Could never understand the shielding someone with one's body trying to protect them and getting hurt yourself, when you can just push them out of the way. I wanted that part animated so badly. |
I did not really think of the BL as in Tanuma x Natsume in this series until the following, I don't know how much spoon fed you can be at hints of BL than that. I don't really mind it but I would prefer much more Natsume x Taki or Sasada x Natsume TBH. More later. BTW Image Stitches in the spoiler |

| I love possesion episodes I loved Asagi's Koto from season one, and I like this one, too, even though it's Tanuma |
| nice ep.. but i kinda feel bad for Taki coz Natsume and Tanuma is like talking among themselves and ignoring Taki. Coz i experienced that many a times before so i felt deeply for Taki being sort of left out. ---- Next Ep: |
| I kinda jumped when the hammer slammed down on the ground -__- Another great episode, can't wait for more. |

| lol. I really like Taki. She keeps helping them dig even if she can't see the mirror herself. And poor Natsume, using him as some kind of human metal detector. O.o Oh no.... I just realized we're already at episode 10. O.o Is it too much to ask for a season 4? Or a movie. Now, that would be awesome. |
| Another great episode! And a continuation too! yay! Every time I see Tanuma and Taki things seem to get better and better! Natsume is finally getting out of his way of hiding things from everyone ever since he became involved with these two. Lately he became really close to them, which is very assuring to see! :) Too bad Nishimura, Kitamoto and Sasada are left out from Natsume's world even though I feel that those three care for Natsume as much as Taki and Tanuma do. :( "Ikayaki I want you!" "I want you!" And abuse. :D |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| I adore those three together, though they really do look freakish from an outsider's viewpoint. Natsume's classmates are really kind to think they were practicing for a play, lol. Also, Tanuma and his 'Nyanta'. XD Sensei got himself a new name again, lol. shiine-chan said: Oh no.... I just realized we're already at episode 10. O.o Is it too much to ask for a season 4? YES! That's exactly what crossed my mind when I was about to get this episode. It's too soon to be over, and again with the long wait. *sob* Then again, seasons 1 and 2 aired back to back, I think? *checks* Nope, it was summer then winter. Still, not too long a wait. Is it too much to dream of a repeat of that pattern? |

I wanna see more injured Natsume~ (lolz, sadist) |
| |
| ^ Well, before, I never did expect a 3rd season. It was a nice surprise. Damn, this is exactly what I was feeling back then at the end of season 2. O____O I'm just wondering, is there enough manga material for another season? (It's hard to keep track since the anime doesn't really follow the exact order of the manga chapters). All I remember is another encounter with Matoba, but I supppose that'll only be, like, 2 episodes. |
| So others just thought they where acting or something still i wonder how they will explain the broken mirror in the science room. It was rather funny to see Taki trying hard to see that mirror i hope for her she will see it at one point. |
| Great episode. Funny Tanuma and Natsume moment. |

| Just goes to show that Youkai shouldn't act like the shit, jumping on top of trees during a thunderstorm. |

(I couldn't stand waiting anymore, so i just looked at the pictures of vol 12 in japanese... maybe i should learn some..?) |

| Great episode. Kept me interested the whole way through and I was sad when it ended. This arc is pretty cool. Hard to believe there's only three more episodes to go. |
| ♪Ikayaki ika ga? Ikayaki want you~ ♪ Best song ever. Even though there are only 2 lines. |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| “I want you.” I don’t know whether I should feel a bit sorry towards Nyanko-sensei upon the abuse or laugh wholeheartedly at Taki’s obsession with cute stuff. … Probably the latter, yeah. Because Taki is <3. Oh, oh. That awkward moment with Natsume and Tanuma was beyond priceless. No way to describe how much I enjoyed that. Plus the bubbles of light in the background just fit in so well. My mind had to scream “Homoerotic!” at some point during the scene, to add it up. This season is out flowing with two-episode arcs! Those two students watching the trio digging at random places with one of them seeming to be in pain… they must be utterly weirded out, no doubting that. I love episodes like these. I just got a thing for whatever those three do together, I can’t help it! Aw, Taki, don’t let them leave you out! Three episodes left. Why?! Can’t we hope for another season, a movie, specials, something? I’ll be terribly sad after three weeks from now…! |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Nice ep. Too bad there's only 3 more eps to go. T_T |
| I can´t recall a lot of details of this episode from the manga version. The only think I´m sure is about this history that I didn´t like it that much. I like the 3rd season, but it´s quite ambiguous compared to the previous two IMO. I really hope they include chapters 30-31, where Natsume re-meets another youkai (a dangerous one this time) from his past. |
 |
| Sensei: 'Ikayaki, I want you!' Taki: 'And I want you!' *evil smile* Kinda creepy lol. Great episode over all. I'm really happy that Tanauma can experience some of Natsume's adventures with Youkai. Taki blushing in next ep preview? Is that some Taki x Natsume I see? xDDD I hope Natsume stays single though through out the whole show; he's meant to be that way. Just a note because I was bored: I like this show, but I like Mushishi better because of the 'not as happy and go-lucky' stories (shows how things don't always go as planned) and the AMAZING soundtrack. |
| I still get freaked out watching this anime. ahah. Got scared when Natsume thought he saw something at school. Buuur |
| There were a couple really well animated scenes this episode. Reminds me why I love this show so much (: |

| Nice episode, I liked the Tanuma screentime since he and Natsume are realy close friends :) Wow awesome, Natsume actually purificated (smacked the youkai out of) Tanuma with his bare hands? Well it was only for a moment but still :D Nice story, I hope it will end well for all of them :) |
| The trio's relationship just got better. Taki and Nyanko-sensei together is amusing as usual. :D Also, why are those broken pieces there in the school when it was struck in the forest. O_o |
StormViruz said: Also, why are those broken pieces there in the school when it was struck in the forest. O_o The mirror pieces can move around, since they seek out shiny surfaces to hide in. (Such as mirrors, pieces of bottles, and eyes, apparently.) |
| Huh, interesting episode. |
| I love Tanuma! And I feel bad for Taki, she can't see the mirror, but she is great. I don't want it to end ughh. |
 Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. |
| Tanuma and Natsume, I love it, I love it. ;_; I guess part of my love for the 3rd season is because they focus more on Natsume's friends. I like que lonely-wolf Natsume, but its great this "I-wanna-protect-my-friends" thing too. <3 And Taki with nyanko-sensei is great too! I love how she is, almost all of the time I hate the female characters, because they're annoying (this is for you, Sasada), but Taki is so funny and cute. :3 |
| Taki is one really nice girl, and like Tanuma and Natsume also spends a lot of time on her own (the year where she couldn't speak anyone's name for fear that they might be on the youkai hit list probably didn't help). I'm curious to see what the blush is about next episode. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
lol xD The hammer youkai seems to want the mirror too. Or maybe break it? good episode 4/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
Aversa said: It was rather funny to see Taki trying hard to see that mirror i hope for her she will see it at one point. I felt bad about her =\ Still she was so funny when she was stalking Nyanko-sensei :D:D I'm looking forward to the next episode. |

| *gasp* the final frame of this episode. Anyways, nice episode with the mirrors and the usual pleasant atmosphere. |
 |
| LOL from an outsider's point of view, Natsume, Tanuma, and Taki do look like they're acting out a play or something XD And wow, this season has plenty of creepy youkai. That hammer at the very end. Poor Natsume having his eye hurt whenever near a piece of the mirror. |
| yes! i love it when the trio is in action together! moreover, it's 2 episodes long~ i wonder what caused Taki to blush like that in the preview? |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Good episode. I'm glad there's a bit of comedy in the series now. |
 "No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself." -- Murakami Haruki |
| The normal atmosphere and pace came back so that's a huge plus for me! This episode was quite nice, that ending sure was interesting, either way let's see what's next! |
 |
| So a searching episode for a youkai mirror. The two students who saw Taki/Tanuma/Natsume digging holes hope they don't start rumors of them acting weird. Taki being moe when Nyanko-sensei came to the school. |
 |
| And that is why you don't go jumping off trees during a thunderstorm lol The ending...hammer time! |
