A new mystery classmate, and a cliffhanger.

wasn't expecting a cliffhanger from this series, esp not so early in the season.

wonder if the girl will be sticking around, if this were a diff anime i'd also be wondering if she were telling the truth and if this was the start of a love triangle. but i doubt any of that is going to happen.

wonder what would happen if she drew the circle on her forehead or something.

Wow cliffhanger ending, for once.

I LOLed at Nyanko sensei and the sparrows part. He is really silly and cute =D

Interesting new character... I sure hope she sticks around.
A girl that can see youkai= possible love interest! Even though this anime works well without romance...

What? A cliffhanger from Natsume? And it actually works? Incredible.

Seriously, it was as well-written and compelling as ever. I like the fact that Tooru brings out Natsume's sense of empathy more strongly than the youkai usually do. I despise having to wait a week, but I'm sure it will be well worth it.

Poor Sarada - she may well be left pining away on the sidelines.

On the other hand, Taki is mega-kawaii. And Natsume already caressed her hair and told her everything will be all right, so now I absolutely demand that she fall madly in love with him.

She's an ordinarily cuddly girl who likes snuggling cute cats and so on. She's been getting very lonely for the past eleven months because she hasn't been talking. She needs to vent all of her sentimental snuggliness on Natsume. I demand snuggling in this anime! Wholesome, innocent, emotionally positive snuggling!

taki is already well versed in the youkai world so she already has an advantage. Sarada got a little jealous there, that was kinda cute.

Natsume's mom isn't bad either.

Very good episode. I'm glad that they are really switching the formula up this season. This time we have a girl, and not a Youkai to help, and Natsume has a bit of a stake in it himself. Wasn't expecting an episode like this, so I especially liked that.

wow...
this episode really is something unexpected.Some twist of events.
At first I thought the girl is a youkai herself but was cursed to live in human form or so but this is even better because there are even more chances of Natsume actually being inlove thus a romantic side to him.
Overall things are starting to move, he doesn't feel so lonely but loved and does care about the people around him and his importance amongst the ones he loves too.

Natsume's (adoptive) mom is more like an aunt to him, I think, than a real mom. He seems awfully distant from her.

I don't think I had previously noticed her as cute. Definitely she's not as hot as the typical Hot Shounen Mom. She doesn't seem to have grey hair or lots of wrinkles, but I think she has a few wrinkles. Her husband looks obviously middle-aged or elderly.

How dare they tease me with a cliffhanger, now I want the next episode even more than normal. I like the new girl, and Nyanko-sensei provides some good laughs.

Someone invent a time machine now plz. It only has to be able to jump ahead a week, so it's not like I'm expecting a lot.

Best cliffhanger ever :) And this new character is seriously good too, I can't wait for next week, and I hope that Taki will remain as a main (or important secondary at least) character. Let's see what she can do to save Natsume.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Wonderful episode, and was a little taken aback by the cliffhanger, but thought it was good too (agh Skip Beat! now this.. agh), I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
i hope taki becomes more involved with natsume considering she is one of the only people that knows and can understand what he does.
I hope so too, she's such a likeable character! But then I thought the same thing when Tanuma was introduced, and he doesn't appear that often, not that I'm complaining though. I'm also glad to see a switch to helping Taki rather then another youkai.

Cliffhanger huh? That just means I'll watch the next episode as soon as I get it.

Great episode as usual. Nyanko-sensei was really funny with the sparrows thing. Plus, a new character. I'm hoping to see more of Taki in later episodes. This is definitely one of the best shows this season for me, so far.

Excellent episode, that cliffhanger really switched up the mood on me. Usually it's all nice and relaxing, but those last few seconds pretty much left my mouth agape. From the previews it looks like Nyanko-sensei is going to be on the list as well.

I'd laugh if she ended up being one of Natsume's relieves. You have to admit though, if they hook up and have a kid in the future, that kid would have some amazing powers.

Nice to see the introduction of a new character who can see youkai (when she draws a circle). But also Natsume's kidnapping, although I do wonder why he said 360 days, I mean why not 365 so it's a year O_O? lol @ Nyanko-sensei trying to fly by capturing 5 birds xD

Wow. A cliffhanger on Natsume Yuujinchou? I wasn’t expecting that.

Taki is a lovable character~ Her obsession with cute things (Nyanko-sensei…?!) is hilarious.

Natsume got caught admiring himself in the mirror~ lol.

Wasn’t anyone else reminded of the youkai in the first season, episode 12, that cursed Natsume in the arm and sent a shadow to eat him…?
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.
