Review of Natsume's Book of Friends

Natsume, a young highschool boy with the 'gift' of seeing spirits since he was a child. The anime shows the events that unfold since he moved from the city to a country town to live with his distant relatives due to various circumstances, as well as revealing Natsume's past as he goes through his everyday life. However what makes this anime so great, is possibly simply the atmosphere of the anime itself. The anime is written superbly, the writers are able to create an anime which gives a relaxing feel while watching; as well as being entertaining. The anime does not have a linear plotor goal of any sort, which is rare for its genre of drama. Although it lacks any obvious story-line, it is obvious that after watching this anime, the writers goal was simply to take viewers on a journey through a kind hearted boys life; as he discovers more and more about himself as well has his ability to see spirits which he as always felt burdened by, he discovers that not all spirits are cruel, but some are loving, even more so than those who are living around him.

This anime deserves much more praise than i am giving it, being able to reach the heart of the viewers with each and every episode. Therefore it would be more than fair to say this anime deserves nothing less than 10/10.
