| This anime coming to an end leaves me bittersweet. I was bummed that there wasn't another season to watch; that is, until I learned -just now- that this WAS the second season. At least I have the first season to look forward to...? XD |
 |
| Wonderful anime!! And like everyone else, I WANT A THIRD SEASON!! I don't want it to end just like that! T_T This anime is peaceful, emotional and filled with kindness. Watching Natsume makes me empathize with his feelings of loneness and caring for other people ... isn't that weird and wonderful? :) Nyanko-sensei is still the best for me! He's sooo cute and funny xD (mayby I've strange tastes too like Taki) As the opposite of caring Natsume, Nyanko balanced this anime from being too emotional filled. I say, he did a great job being the best friend of Natsume! Though they've never admitted themselves being best friends ^^ |
 |
| A great season, but not quite as good as the first. 8/10 from me. It lacked the emotional stuff that the first season had. But it's still very heartwarming and enjoyable. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| This anime is in my top list! ahh wanted another season >.< REIKO at the window!!! |

| Wonderful ending to a wonderful series. I loved everything. Natsume has such a unique heart-warming aura; I’m going to really miss this show now that’s over. I wish it would go on forever; I want a new season, an OVA, movie, anything, it doesn’t matter which, to only watch more episodes. And if it could be endless… |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| Tsundere nyanko sensei is tsundere. I wonder if he had a similar relationship with Reiko at some point. A nice ending I suppose, although I want more, as everyone has already said. His guardians, more reiko, etc etc. I had hoped he would at least fess up to his guardians, but oh well. Again, here's hoping for a season 3. Hell, I'd be stoked about a prequel season starring Reiko, about how she finally came to meet another human that accepts her and she loves enough to reproduce with. Despite the overwhelming amount of homoerotic tension and shota BL subliminal messaging, I loved this series. 9/10 EDIT: It's sad that terribad shows like the typical shounen mainstream titles get 300-400 episodes, but the actual good anime get 26. Although I suppose if they gave natsume 400 eps it would end up full of trash as well. |

| I loved this series. I am hoping for a 3rd season as well :) |
| Love this anime... :) cant wait for the 3rd season: Natsume Yuujinchou San |
     BADGES: ll MUSIC LOVER ll [TSC] ll C.C.O ll |
| Natsume Yuujinchou sure is a brilliant anime. All the touching and well thought out stories, interesting and fun flashbacks of Reiko. All the good characters and intriguing youkai. The animation/art and soundtrack creating a relaxing feeling and the overall pacing is great. Looking forward to the third season now! |
 |
| I think this was a fitting ending to this season, seeing Natsume together with his friends and family but also with some youkai just shows us how much Natsume's character has developed throughout the second season. When it comes to my overall feelings towards this second season I can't say I liked it more compared to the 1st season, I actually was a bit dissapointed, it just did not have the same emotional impact on me as the 1st season did. My favorite episodes from this season are episodes 4, 9 and 10. |
 |
| Whoa, was that REIKO at the end?! I wonder if she's a spirit now then? So glad I got through this in time for the third season! I'm really curious now to find out if Natsume will meet Reiko in some form... At any rate, I really liked this last two-parter and finale. Very nice how Natsume has been able to form relationships with both humans and yokai. The conflict involving Natori and Kai was an interesting one, and I liked how Natsume was able to remain friends with both of them. I imagine we will see Kai again one day. Can't wait to see how Natsume's character is developed further. TT.TT |
| I liked seeing Reiko at the end there, was a nice touch. Glad there's a third season sitting there waiting for me to watch. 8/10. |
| Wasn't as great as I expected it to be but it still delivered a peaceful relaxing ending. Nyanko-sensei and Natsume's relationship just got deeper. Reiko showing at the end was simply nice even though it's symbolic. Overall, this gets a 9/10 although it's the same score from the prequel but this is a lot better than the latter. 3rd season, here I come.. :D |
Zero said: When it comes to my overall feelings towards this second season I can't say I liked it more compared to the 1st season, I actually was a bit dissapointed, it just did not have the same emotional impact on me as the 1st season did. My exact sentiment. For whatever reason, the second season lacked the strong emotional core of the first season, or perhaps the novelty has just worn out for me. It was, however, much darker, and if you like that, then I could see why someone would prefer this season over the first. As far as I'm concerned, I was waiting for an episode to reach the brilliance of episodes 6-8 of the first season, and that just didn't happen. I was disappointed by that. Anyway, still a great show with a lot of heart. And the stories were all very creative and unique, not to mention the production values are always high. I especially love the animation. 8/10 |
| Great way to end the second season. |
     |
| Just a thought I got from reading the other posts... Since Reiko was at the end... maybe she became a youkai? o.o Maybe she was cursed and became one, and everyone just said she "died". Also, I liked the second season. However I think the first season did a better job, although this one was darker and there were a lot more Nyanko-sensei moments. 9/10 ! :D Not a 10/10 because I was actually bored of it at one point (around ep.4-5)... then it picked up and got emotional and stuff. Kai almost made me cry when he cried. He was an awesome youkai. I thought I would go into a rage when Kai left and I thought they weren't going to see him again, ever. But then Natsume said he would visit him and I was all happy again. :D |
| Kai sure is powerful, more so than Madara(?) Reiko at the window left a nice touch. But i don't think shes a Youkai like some others have said, but I've been suspecting something like Reiko isn't actually just dead or something...... o.O IDK.. Well whatever..didn't love this season much as i did the 1st one, something was off..either way, it was still great! 9/10 |
| *yawn* I certainly don't need more of this anime. |
| I really loved this season =) 10/10 |
| I liked this a lot. First season was good, this one was even better. Can't wait to start season 3. |
 |
| Great anime, but I still want more of this. I need season 3 nao! |
 |
| Well, it was a very sweet ending to this season, but I prefer season one over this one for sure. 9/10. |
| Nice ending. I love the scene with Reiko sitting by the window. |
| Lovely ending to a great season. Now to marathon season three so I can catch up with season 4 currently running. More of Reiko's story please, and also more Taki x Natsume... |
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 |
| 10/10 |
| Better ending than the one in Season 1. Although my favorite episode to now is ep 11 from this season. 1. Characters. +1. This time I feel even better about them, because of Taki. She was great at all the time. And Natori. O yeah, Natori! 2. Atmosphere. +1. M-m-m-m-m, this atmosphere... I liked it the best in episode 11. 3. OST. +1. Nice OP and great ED. Otherwise, the OST was good overall. 4. Animation. +1. This anime has great animation and now I'm used to the Ayakashi/Yoakai's unusual forms and I like them better then I did in the previous season. 5. Background story. +1. The background story we got for Reiko in ep. 10 was just great(be it the only episode involving Reiko at all). 6. Storyline. Well, there still isn't any kind of plot in this show, but I guess that fits just ok with this anime. 7. Ending. Not an actual ending, really, too good there are more seasons to come. 9. Drama. +1. This time we actually got some drama here and there, and I think it was nice. Season 1 mostly missed this aspect. 10. Overall feeling. +1. After this season I feel like I want to see much more of it. Natsume got better development, and other interesting characters beside him were involved in more than one episode(Taki, Natori ^__^). Bonus(extra) point for:... I don't know what can I give score for here at this point, but if something comes into my mind I might edit it. Overall score: 8/10. Looking forward to the next season! |

| Reiko appearing at the end was the icing on the cake. |
 |
| LOLOL I loled so heard when everything was going fine and they were friends and shit and then at the house scene he asked him if he's a Youkai and then the lovely Kai turns super-sayian xD |
 |
| So did Kai understand Natsume in the end? And what's with the flower in the Book of Friends? Rather confused. Other than that, enjoyable second season. |
| Nice episode and series. Great to see everything resolved and Taki finding out that Kai was indeed a Youkai. I see Reiko one last time this episode to conclude the season. Overall, I give the second season 8/10 :) |

milkteh said: So did Kai understand Natsume in the end? And what's with the flower in the Book of Friends? Rather confused. Other than that, enjoyable second season. At first I was also confused...but remember the scene where Taki and Kai were making the flower wreath things? I guess Natsume had a lot of fun too and so he pressed one of the flowers in the Book of Friends for memory. I'm glad Kai got to see that, because I'm sure he understood that Natsume wasn't trying to trick him or anything, but that they were sincerely friends. It's sad that he's another one of those shrine God that humans forgot about...he was just lonely. But good thing it all ended well. The last scene was a great way to end this season with everyone having a picnic under the cherry blossoms! And I like how Reiko was just sitting there on the window...third season here I come! 10/10 |
| definitely better than 1st season. 9/10! Reiko at the end <3 |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Another great season. Hoping we get to find out more about Reiko and how she died in the next season. 9/10. |
 |
| Great ending. This anime is what keeps my life going at the moment :D Btw, |
 "No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself." -- Murakami Haruki |
| A lovely ending for this second season, up to the next season as well the story sure is developing quite nice! |
 |
| Yet another solid season, it's great to see how much Natsume has grown on this journey so far. From being isolated from humans and finding youkai troublesome to cherishing being able to be with both. I really hope they do go visit Kai someday. And I wonder if that was really Reiko at the window or if it was just one of those special moments. 9/10 to compliment the first season, greatly looking forward to the remainder of this. |
 |
| Amazing series. So much better than first (Natsume Yuujinchou). I'm going to see next season. I hope that it will be brilliant too. C: 9/10 |
I don't like the terms "good person" or "bad person" because it's impossible to be entirely good to everyone or entirely bad to everyone. To some, you are a good person, while to others, you are a bad person. ~Armin (Shingeki no Kyojin) |
| Will miss this amazing and beautiful ending song! |
| Holy shit, this show is amazing. I'm glad I got through my hesitation to start it nearly every episode put a smile on my face the entire way through |
| Okay, count me in as a fan! :D Starting to really enjoy the relaxing and calmness of this show. 7/10 like before. Onto the next season.. |
| that was reiko at the end right? also, what was the relationship between nyanko-sensei and natsume reiko? Also, in the first season, why was he sealed? |

| There's no magical spell to save someone's life. |
| Is Reiko still alive ? because at the end i saw Reiko sitting by the window, this is a good sign ! looking forward for the next season i love this anime so much Overall score 9/10 |
 |
| This season though good, it lacked emotional scenes that were on par with the ones from season 1. Taki's arc and as always the episodes with Reiko were a high point of this season, along with the Sorcerers meeting episode. As for Reiko sitting in the window towards the end, I don't think it means anything more than a symbolic way of showing "her wish to live in that house was fulfilled through Natsume", or something as simple as bringing all the characters together for the final episode of the season. |
| Where was Tanuma for almost the whole season? After that fireworks ending I expected him to accompany Natsume on his adventures... Instead he went out of the bushes a couple of times towards the end and Natsume was like "kthxbye". Luckily though, there was a minimum of Sasada, so there wasn't anything to piss me off very much. I was also happy things got interesting with Natori :) And Taki was fun. But overall I liked the first season better. |
