Review of Natsume's Book of Friends

Don't understand why there are so many great reviews of this anime, this is really just a mediocre anime-- this first season, I mean. I have not yet watched other seasons. Characters and their developments are meh at best - it's a really slow anime where only few things actually happen, yet they have somehow made 13 episodes of it. Usually shows take the first four episodes to introduce us to the world and to the characters, but Natsume Yuujinchou took the first season to do that. Not to say that I didn't enjoy it- I started to watch this anime because I knew itwas going to be easy, slow kind of slice-of-life with demons, and it was exactly what I expected.

There's really nothing much to say about this anime since nothing really happens; we are introduced to the main and support characters. Natsume as the MC is kinda fun, though a bit too slow for my liking, but he is still a good MC; he's not as creepy or pervy as many other MCs, and even though he is pretty apathetic most of the time, it's fun to see it on the main character for once.

Really wished they would've done more with Tanuma since he was very much alike to Natsume, but we get to see so little of him; I hope their friendship develops more in the future seasons.
