Short Synopsis: Natsume gets a very nasty curse put on his arm.
Highlights: ZOMG Second Season!
Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10
Ah, thank goodness this series is getting its second season. The show is nice and all, but there’s so much potential left that still needs to be touched. This concept is just way too short for a mere 13 episodes, so it’s awesome to see that this series is getting 13 more to work with. The next winter-season is going to be a pretty interesting one, with both Birdy the Mighty and Natsume Yuujin-chou getting their continuations. Now all that’s left is that second season-announcement for Amatsuki, the series that needs a continuation even more badly than this one.
Just scrap my comments from the previous episode. When talking about 26 episode, that was indeed the perfect tme to introduce a lighter episode to flesh out one of the characters. This episode too eliminated any chance that this series would only last for one season as it introduces what seems to be two recurring characters. It’s the woman and big goat ayakashi from the OP, and they’ve got a lot of potential to shine in that second season.
Wat was especially funny about this episode was that the curse that struck Natsume also had a very interesting effect on Nyanko-sensei: he kept switching between an incredibly tiny and incredibly big version of himself, both with hilarious results.
I’m also glad to see that the book of friends played another role in this episode. My only problem with this series is how it has been ignored so much, even though it’s the central item in this series. This episode showed that you can do more with it than just collect a bunch of names, and Natsume uses it in this episode to summon the goat ayakashi.
What wounderful news! I’ll have something to look forward to in the winter season as well. Thank you for the information:).
Glad to hear about the second season! I finally started watching the anime (I already love the manga) yesterday.
i read about a 2nd season for this anime yesterday and i think that is the best thing i heard this week 😀
sine you mentioned Amatsuki its 2nd part kinda disappointed me but i still have to watch the last 2 episodes so maybe after that i will also want a 2nd season for that anime too,i just need to get in the mood to watch it…
Giant Nyanko-sensei is giant. 🙂
Great news about the 2nd season. Looking forward to it!
It’s so great to hear that this series is getting another series. It’s pretty much the only one I still follow after all the other weirdness the other series coughcodegeasscough brought us. Anyways, I find it funny how in the beginning everyone was worried about how all natsume was going to do was give back the names from the book of friends and that the series will eventually turn boring, but now its amazing that everyone is complaining how the series is hardly about the book anymore.
This was a great episode– made me tear up a bit. I love how subtle this series is, yet it doesn’t bore me(excluding the last episode).
Second Season? YES!
I’ll tell you right now don’t expect Hinoe or Misuzu to really appear in the 2nd season, well Hinoe only appeared in one extra chapter after the chapter she was introduced in, unless they make a filler. The character that will return will be Natori and Tanuma got one other chapter 🙂 The manga is relatively new, so it seems its finally getting some arcs and continuous chapters. Doubtful though that the next season if it is only 13 episodes as well will introduce the latest “permanent” character Taki, who appears as often as Natori.
