(While this is a review for season 6, it could also be seen as a review for the series up to this point)
Another fantastic season. Natsume’s Book of Friends is a series that thrives in taking its time and it really shows in these later seasons. While it technically does get a little formulaic it thrives in the subtle expansion of the groundwork of everything that came before it.
If I had to pick one, the central theme of the story as a whole would be loneliness. Natsume’s journey from season 1 up to now is notable because the world he lives in has become entirely different. Raised in a world of rejection, he had adopted its way of life, in turn rejecting the world around him. The previous seasons, and a good amount of this season as well, showcase a slow yet consistent course of recovery…

As I near the end of this franchise I look back on all the emotions it has made me feel. Joy, sadness, relief, pity, heartbreak, contentment. It has been a journey seeing Natsume transform from a fearful boy who could never open up to anyone to a young man who seems to have everything he could ever want. A few moments come to mind when I think about this transformation. One is early on in this season when he is briefly transformed back into a child. He loses all his current memories, but he still has Nyanko-sensei at his side and is quickly found by Taki and Tanuma. This young Natsume is in disbelief at the life he apparently has, thinking that surely it's too good to be true. He decides to accept them as being his friends, even if it's a lie as the youkai nearby try to convince him, becau…

I really am choosy when it comes to watch interesting anime. From the 1st season this anime has caught my interest. I really liked this anime. Though the manga is still ongoing and they don't know if there will be a 2nd season or not, I really hope there will bee a new season with more episodes. Old animes are really something. The story, the ary, the songs are really beautiful.
Reiko san is so cool. She's fearless, she helps yokais too. I wish she was there with Natsume. I really cried when I saw Natsume struggling with his childhood. The yokais made him fear them a lot. I wish he would have met with Nyanko sensei when he was a child so that his childhood would have been a little easier for him to lead. But the most beautiful thing is he found a nice foster family to live in and his frie…

my most favorite anime of all time
Natsume yuujinchou made my day every time i watched this anime
it is a delightful experience to have known and given the chance to watch this beautiful creation of the authors of natsume yuujinchou
i loved this anime from the beginning till the end
A new season hasn't been announced for this amazing anime, i wish it would be soon though.
i might keep up with the manga until the new season comes up, i really really love this anime and i feel it deserves many many more seasons and 100s of episodes, this anime is very peaceful, relaxing and calming.
i prefer this one when i need a friend, natsume is that friend for me.
i love natsume and his relationship with nyanko sensei, they are adorable.
his friends are amazing, especially tanuma kun. he is a supportiv…

It's a consistently well-done anime, each season has different things for Natsume to learn, from dealing with being honest with others, choosing to help Youkai, to even moving on from his past traumas, he moves forward and enjoys life.
I remember getting teary a few times, like from the first episode of the season one, later on when a youkai almost takes the Book of Friends but sees the flower crown he made with Natsume and Taki and pauses to rethink if that's what he really wants.
I enjoyed seeing the episode that focused on Nishimura and Kitamoto's point of view/with how they became friends with Natsume. I feel like it's a tad shame we don't get those too often. I thought it was heartwarming seeing the Dog's Circle help Natusume every so often like when he got sick or was targetted b…

I wanted my first review to be about Natsume's book of friends because..MY GOD IT'S SOOO BEAUTIFUL.
After watching all 6 seasons of this anime, the least thing i can say about the entire experience is that it's heart-warming,emotional and enoyable. It has a really simple story yet extremely captivating and fascinating making the viewer eager to watch more and see the little secrets and mysteries unfold little by little.
story 10/10:
The storytelling and drama are one of best i've seen. The idea is pretty straight forward : Natsume is on a journey to return the names of the Youkai his grandmother took long ago to create the book of friends. But not every episode is concentrating on that part of the bigger story which revolves around Natsume trying to find himself digging deeper into the pa…

If you've made it as far as the sixth season you're probably well aware of the charm and appeal of Natsume. What I'm here to call everyone's attention to however is this season has PEAK Nyanko-sensei animation. You will be treated to love, bounciness, cuteness, care and attention put into each frame of art that is the upmost joy to watch out of this calico cat. The likes of which you didn't realized would be topped from before. Okay, thank you for coming to my TED talk

If you would like more of a substantial review, Natsume Yuujinchou Roku is as heartwarming, bittersweet, and cozy to watch as it's always been. The continued creativity with each new youkai still amazes and forever leaves me wanting more. While the episodic nature of the show leaves me content, the ever so slight progre…

*Spoiler Free Review*
First of all i need to mention that this review will be a review of all the seasons so i will post this to here and to the first season's review section.
When i first started watching Natsume Yuujinchou, it felt kind of boring. It was cute and all but i am not a person who watches episodal anime that much. I felt like i would drop it if it continued like that. Because every episode Natsume met with a new youkai and gave their name or helped them. And i found it a bit boring. But i kept watching. At the end of season one, i got used to how the story goes on and i got used to the characters.
Then i started watching the second season. I realized that i actually started liking it.
And when i started watching the third season, i loved it.
It probably wasnt because the t…

So, I've made it to the sixth season of Natsume's Book of Friends. Each season, I feel like this story gets better and better and closer and closer to what I want to see from it.
My favorite aspect of this season (as has been for the past couple seasons) was the development that we get to see for Natsume and his friends. Unlike previous seasons, though, I feel like this season started to bring Natsume's two worlds together in a way we hadn't seen before, which is something I was highly anticipating. I don't know if the story will take it past the bits we got in this season, but I really hope so. Another thing I really want to see more of that we got a little bit of during this season was some internal conflict going on with Natsume. Like I said, there was some, but I would really love to…

Natsume yuujinchou is one of the few shows which calms the soul. Throughout watching it, since season 1, it made me feel extremely calm and happy about the world around me. That in itself is one of it's biggest successes. Amongst all the gore, action and fast paced anime, natsume yuujinchou gives us the opportunity to look around at the world around us and appreciate beauty. It has beautiful messages in each episode about kindness and empathy, which teaches one alot.
Story- 10/10
The story in itself is great with each episode bringing some new characters or just telling the story of the older characters. Natsume yuujinchou had the ability to make simple stories seem extremely "feelsy" and basically just amazing.

The music itself was brilliant. Ever since season 1 the ending so…

So far among all the anime series I have watched, this one is the best. I loved all the 11 episodes of this season, especially the first 3.
It is amazing to see how much Natsume has changed throughout the seasons. His interactions with everyone around him, be it youkai or human, is definitely fun to watch. His sudden facial impressions are priceless. There are no characters you can hate, of course if you are up for this type of story. This is my second time watching the whole series.
To be honest, when I started watching the series for the first time last year, I wanted to drop it as first few episodes were not up to my expectations. I am so glad I didn't quit, which led me to this awesome season.
Hoping for a season 7 :D

My first impressions for this show after watching the first two episodes, I felt that the season would focus on motifs of Natsume growing up with unique capabilities and what life was like for him during these difficult times. It turns out that I wasn’t too far off on my hypothesis! Woot.Very much like the previous season, this new addition has been quite reflective in regards to Natsume’s past, mostly in relation to the obstacles that he faced as a child. We get to experience more concrete glimpses into the core facets via contemplative thoughts that our protagonist has about the person he used to be and the person that he’s become. This breathtakingly puts into perspective the character growth that he’s undergone over the span of the past 72-episodes.
Every single aspect about Natsume’s…

Natsume Yuujinchou Roku: Another smashing success for the Natsume Yuujinchou series! Finally, Natsume has some friends...
This season, we take a step back and explore Natsume Takashi's relationships rather than his personal battle with his supernatural powers. This season is mostly focused on developing the relationship between Natsume and the exorcist/actor Natori. However, Little Natsume gets an episode, we get an ENTIRE episode dedicated to Natsume's besties Kitamoto and Nishimuri, and finally, we learn a little more about Reiko and even... the possibility that Natsume has a grandfather???
Character: 10
The characters are what keep this series going. The feelings are real. The relationships are real. The characters are real. This is what I love about Natsume Yuujinchou. The character…

The 6th Season of Natsume's book of friends, First of all I'm proud of how far this series has come and just how consistent it is with it's quality. It's an anime that has never disappointed me, And I hope it gets a lot more seasons.
Like every season, Natsume Yuujinchou plays to it's strengths. It's a very relaxing anime. It's quiet, slow(for good reasons), full of lovable characters. It's a vibe, a very spirtual vibe that it gives off through it's country side atmosphere and it's fantasy elements. It sometimes gets pretty dark and mysterious which adds a lot of flavor to this show. The storytelling in every episode is superb, It's always fresh and simple, The use of symbolism and Goblins to tell a new tale every episode shows how well scripted and cohesive it is.
Every season it slowly…
