Review of Natsume's Book of Friends

First off, let me say upon starting this series I had no doubt that it would have been beautiful considering the person who made Natsume Yuujinchou also made Hotarubi No Mori e. But my, was it so much more beautiful. It completely blew me away! Story: 10/10 I'll warn you now, if you watch this you will most probably get emotional over every episode (At least I did). What's so amazing is that it constantly pulled out some emotion from me. Whether I was crying like a baby or smiling at the heartwarming moment, every episode was so emotional. The spiritual stories were so beautiful. I haven'tseen something like that in so long. I really wish there were more series like this out there, the stories of loss or heartbreak, love and joy. Each episode was like a roller-coaster of emotions!

Art: 10/10

The art was slightly different. And if you ask me, I really couldn't tell you how but I just noticed it was unique and fit the story line so well. Especially the opening title sequence was amazing. The art fit so well.

Sound: 10/10

The music, Oh my the music! I must have listening to the end and opening song more than 1000 times. It's not just that, the background music enhances the feeling and makes you want to cry even more. It seems very.. tradition? I don't know how to explain it well but all I know is that I didn't hear a single song in this show that I didn't absolutely love.

Characters: 10/10

It was a bit sad that most of the characters didn't stay to long, I think it was a bit disappointing that the show couldn't be longer. ( I know there is a second season that I have yet to watch) But it was beautiful (Yes, I must have used beautiful many times, but how else can I describe a show like this?)

But all the spirits were so unique and I loved finding out about there stories even though it was sometimes sad.

Enjoyment: 10/10

I haven't seen the second season yet, but I hope I enjoy it as much as this one.

Overall. 10/10

Just perfect!
