A relaxing anime, with very calm tones, a good story - though not particularly original - and nice characters. Japanese
folklore has always fascinated me so I particularly liked this story whose protagonist is Natsume, a boy who can see
Yokai and owns a strange book, inherited from his grandmother, who allows him to have control over Yokai whose names are
written on it.
It feels kind of nostalgic..
TAKASHI NATSUME: "I've been through so many meetings and partings. They were like a heavy secret, but when I
started to talk about them, they seemed to sparkle..."
This series is a matter of taste. Most people would probably feel bored by it because of the slow story flow, but I love it. There is action in it but not as showy, sparkling or exploding as usually shown though more fitting for the anime's calm air. I love the atmosphere created by the show - thoughtful, melancholic, calm, gentle but also building suspense with a mix of mystery and humor. The series emits its own charm and also sadness and solitude. The corresponding manga creates this atmosphere probably even better. There are 2nd, 3rd and 4th season.

I saw Takashi Natsume featured in a video of top 10 male anime characters in 2011 and found him interesting so I checked
out the anime. I became a fan immediately. He is surely one of the most dynamic and three-dimensional anime characters I
have ever seen.
The funny thing about this anime is that, though it is not action-oriented or very exciting, I just can't stop watching
it. The character development of Natsume from a lonely, isolated boy to a strong and happy person is well-handled and
very heartening. All the stories of different yokais are touching. It's funny in the sense that this story can only work
with a boy as the protagonist. Seeing miserable girls in tears isn't that strange. But being a boy, Takashi Natsume's
emotions become much deeper. His fighting back tears, blushing or simply staring into empty space feels oddly powerful.
This is an anime that speaks straight to the audience's hearts and it is precisely this that makes it so successful.
