Natsume Yuujinchou San 09

Natsume Yuujinchou is an anime that has ever warmed my heart. For a reason unbeknownst to me, it has that power. Maybe it itself is a spirit. Wouldn’t that be a treat?

Takashi Natsume, voiced by the lovely Hiroshi Kamiya, is a boy who’s strong spiritual senses have pestered him since birth. He comes into the possession of his grandmothers “Book of Friends;” a catalogue filled with names of spirits. Reiko, Natsume’s grandmother, never got along with other humans and thus resorted to bullying spirits into submission so they could become her friends. Some may be violent while others kind hearted. Natsume spends the majority of his free time dissolving the binding contracts with the help of the feline spirit, Madara.

 

Natsume Yuujinchou likes to put about at its own pace. This is the third instalment in the series and I have no doubts that it will continue, hopefully, for many seasons more. It’s a relaxing and narrative driven story. The interior monologue of Natsume is heavily reliant on Hiroshi Kamiya’s voice talent and I believe that is what lends the anime its calming vibe. His voice is simply soothing to the ears. Coupled with the stellar artistic direction and crisp animations, it’s quite the sight to behold.

This is exactly the type of anime that I liked to watch during the summer. As Natsume encounters different youkai he learns a little bit more about them; about their relations to humans and their motives or pasts. It’s an enchanting story that I would love nothing more than to be enveloped by. When he returns their name after a kind gesture or a desperate fight for his life, it’s always bitter-sweet to seem them drift off in peace.
