This series is a sequel to "Natsume Yuujinchou" which tells the story of a high school boy with the ability to see yokai. The plot revolves around his growing involvement with both the yokai and the people around him.

Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou's story continues the themes of the first series. Maintaining the seasonal style progression of the series we see the characters in autumn and winter and it continues to show us the slice of life style glimpses into Natsume's interactions with both humans and yokai.

The episodes maintain a nice balance between the humour and the more serious, melancholy side of Natsume's life.

This series isn't ... hugely plot driven and if you want a more in-depth storyline you will need to read the manga but I found the anime really enjoyable in and of itself.

The artwork is just as beautiful as in the first series, that alone made it worth my while to watch it. It is also well voiced, with a soundtrack that catches the mood of the series accurately.

While there are some instances of tension and action in this series I would recommend it more for those who enjoy the fantastic aspects of the series or the 'slice of life' style stories.
