THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I guess that this will be as close as we get to some "romance" between Natume and another girl. lol I hope that Sasada brings this up in another episode, but it would have been better had it happened to Taki.

Anyway I wonder if Tanuma is growing stronger or if there was something else there that allowed him to see the youkai. Whatever the answer, I can't wait for next week to find out!

I couldn't help but feel bad for Natsume, considering Nyako kind of just ruined like, his whole identity in the school.

I hope Tanuma gets to keep this ability. That would be an unexpected and interesting twist.

yay some subtle TanumaXNatsume once again ♥ subarashii~ /fujoshi mode.

interesting to see Nyanko as Natsume but I felt bad for him as well, maybe Tanuma will find a good explanation for the others? :o
For a moment I thought the guy with the mask in the end was Natori but he wasn't in the preview so rather unlikely, dechu ne? :d

Was that Natori underneath the paper bag mask?

Loved the episode..especially the line from Nyanko Sensei to Sasada....

"You smell delicious".....I wonder how Natsume is going to explain that one. As always, I love the friendship between Tanuma and Natsume..
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

@ Natsume's friend, who on Earth shares a corn on the cob?

OOC Natsume* was funny, who would imagine the super pleasant Natsume as a thuggish glutton resisting alcohol. :P
I wouldn't want to watch someone behaving off whilst taking on my appearance, poor Natsume. :o

A rare cliffhanger - I'm looking forward to next week.

Hahahaha I can't stop laughing, this episode was so good! I feel so bad for Natsume but haha.
My favorite scene was when Nyanko sensei entered the class looking for Sasada and then Natsume screamed.
And yay for Tanuma!

Many people around the world do apparently, myself included. You've never snapped corn on the cob in half before? It's not difficult to do, like Natsume did. Unless they were sharing the same piece they bit out of, then anyone would be a bit more reluctant after that...unless they were starving or within family, or very close friends comfortable sharing food.

It's too bad

lmao, nyanko!Natsume is so wrong. Poor Natsume. XD I love that Tanuma knew right away that wasn't Natsume.

This has to be one of my favourite arcs of the series - apparently I've got a lot of favourite arcs as far as Natsume is concerned - and once again, the anime doesn't disappoint. I can't wait for next week - it gets better! *.*

What's with the attitude? It was a joke and I have some degree of intelligence.
In addition, I was refering to your latter statement of sharing what someone was tucking into, but still, light heartedly.

Anyway, I was originally going to reply to the spoiler...

Sensei as Natsume is Hi-la-rious, and I wonder is that the same voice actor doing it, nice change. The funniest episode of the season! Even beats the episode when Natsume was being possessed by that female youkai.

Here's my theory: I think Tanuma said something about the steps not being there before, so maybe the shrine/building became visible, thus making all the Youkai visible as they entered.

Though it would be awesome if he became strong enough to see the Youkai!
Then maybe he'd be in more episodes.

I think Natsume was hotter when Nyanco-sensei transformed into him. Poor Natsume. "Roll, roll, roll"

First of all, did anyone else notice how comfortable and happy Natsume looked at school. when playing chess? He was smiling and teasing and it was adorable.

I thought that also! it would be fun if he was there. Perhaps they wanted it to be a surprise? or perhaps not. It is really cool how for a bit Tanuma will get to see youki like Natsume does. Also, this was hilarious! I loved seeing Natsume tortured by Nyanko-sensi and he sent shivers down my spine when he was teasing Tanuma with the bottle holding Natsume. I don't know how that poor boy is going to explain away Nyanko-sensi's actions but i hope it haunts him because that would be so adorable! I wanna know what happens so bad, but part of me wishes this story could be three episodes and full of just as much humor. Thank you Midorikawa Yuki!!!!! I love this season. I want another one after this one or i will have to cry. It is just too good.

Seriously awesome episode with lots of laughter and a spooky cliffhanger.

It made me think of Senjōgahara telling Araragi that she'll cover for him when attendance is called in episode 13 of Bakemonogatari. But it's interesting how the things that are so important to Natsume aren't even on the radar for Nyanko-sensei, and arguably anybody else Natsume knows. I also enjoyed how Sensei slowly got into the role, and then the scene where he's always one step behind Sasada. And by the time he actually catches up with her, he's run completely out of patience. Poor Taki was left out of the fun though.

The 'so ka' line was probably the best.

This was a great episode from beginning to end.

Nyatsume was comedy gold. Too bad his unintentional moves on Sasada were just comedy and fanservice and will probably be completely forgotten or downplayed later.

This arc will probably bring some closure to what Tanuma feels about his inevitable inability to help Natsume and hopefully lets Natsume trust him more.

What I was wondering is where is the Book of Friends? Is it on his miniature body? Is it in his backpack that Tanuma has? Why haven't they called any Friends to help protect Natsume?
Do the youkai who captured Natsume know that he has the Book of Friends? (I don't think that's the case, but stuff if going to get crazy when they figure it out).

Natsume Shi truly is terrifying, it seems like the story is getting even better - if that was even possible. Sensei "Rude" Natsume was awesome.

what can I say, you guys pretty much summed it up for me.
"...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth')

I was really hoping that Nyankotsume would run into Taki, just to see if she reacted to the cat or the boy. (and since I'm a Taki x Natsume shipper that would have been just fine either way).
Please don't feed the trolls!

Uh, is it me or this episode somehow began… differently? I felt it the atmosphere slightly changed for once, more laid-back.

OH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH NYANKO-SENSEI, YOU AMAZING FATTY CAT WITH HILARIOUS ATTITUDE. I still can’t stop laughing even now, such comedy gold. Man, your reputation has been completely tainted, Natsume. I hope you can successfully explain yourself later~ It’d sure be priceless.

Tanuma <3 You’re always there to help, aren’t ya? I knew he’d know it wasn’t Natsume. Now, I’d like to see Taki mingled into this mess~ or at least interact with Nyatsume.

Dat cliffhanger. Don’t just leave me hanging like that! Wait—was that Natori?
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.
