| sensei's another form as a girl was great, he/she looked badass. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
kisami said: its a really good episode, but where are they going from here? is all hes gonna do to return all the names and thats it? seems like a waste to such a good story so far. Not trying to be a smartass here but isn't returning all the names the main objective of this show...? I'm not sure what kind of story you're talking about. The episode was great IMO. Idk about you guys but it gives me a nice feeling watching this show. |
| Dat kappa xD Sweet episode. |
 |
| i really like the song that plays when it shows the memorie of the youkai like for the spirit in this one... it's really calm and somewhat sad. i'm confused though, do all of the youkai have to disappear once he returns their names? does returning their name basically "kill" them? cause it seems like that's what happened every time so far. i want to see more of the black haired boy from the previous episode :p |
君と僕の間によこたわる空 |
| Really lovely and quite touching episode! In my opinion the best until now, so let's see what's next! |
 |
| I like the story, it had its tense moments, especially when Sasada was asking tough questions to Natsume. For a second, I thought she was another person who can see ghost and she was EVIL! PLOT TWIST! :p |
 |
| I just started watching this series and finished this episode, and all I can say is I'm more than fully invested. Already this series has proven to be quite meaningful and beautiful in many ways. I also very much enjoy the serene animation, as it's a nice peaceful alternative (albeit with some heavy-ish feels) to the other heavier/darker series I've been watching. Can't wait to power through, yet thoroughly enjoy this season and the ones that follow. |
| So.. this is it? Isn't this anime supposed to be dramatic and atmospheric? What I see so far is a bunch of generic stories about generic sissy boy dealing with generic spirits. Characters have so little screen time that I can't even get attached to any of them to feel the feels. 2/5 might drop. |

Maybe, you could focus more on the atmosphere/OST/serenity of the show because the characters don't seem to be of your liking. You shouldn't watch Mushishi if you don't like this. |

You shouldn't watch Mushishi if you don't like this. Atmosphere and OST are definitely good, but it's not like they can save the day considering things I mentioned IMO. Thanks for advice, I was planning to watch Mushishi, but okay probably it's not my cup of tea. |
| First episode that made me cry. Beautiful. |

Choroshi said: I feel exactly the same. His girl form was hot as hell lol.sensei's another form as a girl was great, he/she looked badass. This ep is my favorite thus far. Sasada is really cute too. |
 |
Choroshi said: sensei's another form as a girl was great, he/she looked badass. Lol yeah, I kinda wish he'd just stay in that form for the rest of the series tbh. Its also interesting that that form looks so much like Reiko. I wonder if there's any significance to that though, hmmm. |

| This anime really is magic. It is so slow and relaxed, yet there are such deep stories. It seems that loneliness is a central theme here. Hopefully Natsume will learn to connect with people in time. Sasada would be a good beginning since she seems to accept him so easily. |

| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| It is cute, the story of Shigure and Sasada, two different souls who meet and I was born a beautiful bond, pleasant narration, sweet and low but not too much to make you cry. |
 |
| this is a heartwarming show |
All I have to say about this episode is: |
| Aw, I kind of wish Sasada found out about Natsume's power (although judging by the ending she still has a hunch). I guess this anime is going to be mostly Natsume-focused with few side characters getting involved, but at least they're developing the recurring characters and adding more to the story that way. |
| Sucks that Shigure got turned into an evil spirit due to one man's greed : / |
|
| LOL. I wanna pour water on the kappa xD she's adorable hahaha Shigure is so cool *O* |
| The anime still holds up |
| This show has such an relaxing atmosphere, and coupled with the calming voice of Natsume's VA, and beautiful OP and ED, really enjoying this a lot. |
 |
| Shigure-sama was angry, and he had a good reason for it. Lol, that kappa doesn't learn anything, why isn't he in a pond? |
 |
| "dodgeball" attack |
 |
| That was a heart felt beautiful episode. The water kappa was great also Madara transforming into a girl was nice. |
 |
| interesting episode, Youkai this time was definitely problematic. Dude decided to involve innocents, but luckily natsume and the book of friends almost, pacified him? Definitely calmed him the fuck down. Wonder if there will be a time where that doesn't work in a life or death situation? Also neko-sensai, has quite the... stunning female form. How many forms exactly does he have??? Or can he just choose at will? interesting... |
 "yabe." |
| This was such an amazing episode, I cried again |
| I didn't felt this episode strong like the second and third episode. Maybe Sasada found out about Natsume's power but it wasn't clear. Well, not bad. Next. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| interesting tidbit for all yall, Sasada is a one off character in the manga. I'm glad we will be seeing a bit more of her in anime. I think she makes an interesting addition to the recurring cast. Also I love the low rankers they always add a bit of humor to the episodes. |

| I much prefer it when the anime is more relaxed. Still, it was a good episode. |
| Poor Shigure he was held captive by that that greedy merchant for so long that it made him impure in his eyes. I'm sure that Sasada knows about Natsume's ability to see the yokai. Especially after seeing him pour water over that over that Kappa(that she cannot see) twice. Why isn't that Kappa going back to a pondXD Interesting how Madara's human form looks exactly like Reiko. |
 |
| Glasses girl really decided to put the lives of her classmates at risk only to thank a supposed malicious spirit smh... So-so episode. |
| Another touching ending. Sasada is a very sweet girl. That kappa was hilarious. |
 |
| This Episode felt like a low budget Indian Production. Literarly everything wont wrong here and i am still not sure if it was filler or not. The first 3 Episodes were alright but then this ... this happend. We died watching this Episode. |
| How can a series have so many good seperate stories? And judging by all the sequels, it stayed popular for a while |
| This is your reminder to drink water 💦 or eat some fruit 🍒 🥝 |
| Beautiful story about loneliness. Also some good Halloween vibes. |
| First episode I really liked. The last few weren't bad, just kind of boring. I hope the girl shows up more. |
 |
| best episode so far, the ending was very touching :,) but why did Nyanko take on Reiko's form when he transitioned into a human? or maybe they're just similar |
| Is Nyanko-sensei female? The voice seems male tbh. |
| Kappas do be cappin' |
