Review of Natsume's Book of Friends

Once you click the play button you will be hit with a wonderful opening which will draw you into the anime. Then towards the end of each episode, you'll be left with a nostalgic song; a beautiful piece of art. The highest quality of lyrics and singing will sooth your ears and submerge you in it's feelings. Natsume Yuujinchou; a very simple anime which has done almost everything right. A boy who can see youkai (spirits) that no one else can. However, rather than your usual fighting anime, this anime focuses on the struggles and growth of the main character Natsume. How difficult must it be,to be able to see things no one else can and be called a liar for speaking the truth? Whether or not we choose to blame an entire species for our misfortunes is our own choice.

This anime is exceptionally good in my honest opinion, I myself am trying to refrain from finishing this series too quickly. As delighted as I was that there were a couple of sequels, I knew that they would be finished within the blink of an eye. Good anime's do that. They leave you always wanting more, wondering what's going to happen next. The anime is so heart warming and relaxing; it's a great break from the typical action or purely psychological sad anime.
