That brings me to the good thing about this movie, it doesn't do anything wrong. You already know what Natsume Yuujinchou is. I'm going to save you from reading the usual fuzz that you can read in every other review ever on Natsume Yuujinchou.

This is definitely my go-to anime for a rainy day. I'm really looking forward to spending more time in this world, should the opportunity arise, and I'm glad I've gotten to spend so much time there already. The world, the stories, the people- it's all so unique when it comes to Natsume's Book of Friends, and it's not something you'd regret getting into at all.

It's a series that'll make everybody feel at peace and happy, but it's still got a wealth of depth and things to teach the people that watch it. It's always been really difficult for me to talk about Natsume Yuujinchou because there's not a whole lot TO say as it speaks for itself. This film was no different, and maybe even better since we got to spend a little more time here than we normally get to. This story of the Book of Friends is able to open such a broad pathway for us, as viewers, to experience some really lovely narratives that- while short-lived- make us feel a multitude of emotions, almost as if we've spent a lifetime in them. The one thing that I will always love above all else in this anime are the characters themselves.

That was something I really enjoyed about the most recent seasons of Natsume, and I was hoping that this movie would really delve into it, though the story we got was still pure Natsume, and I loved that. The only bit of narrative that we didn't really get this go around was a more in depth look at Natsume's past and his mindset at the time of some of his harder encounters with people. The whole film felt like a long episode of Natsume, which was great because all the little stories we got in this film were connected. The story in this film specifically was very interesting.

The colors being dull yet colorful as they are, the character designs being simple and mundane, and the landscapes being expansive and entrancing are all reasons that this sort of art style works so well for a calming and magical anime such as Natsume. I didn't really find it completely appealing at first since I'm so picky, but it's honestly the only art style this anime could ever have. For example, the art style in this anime has always been really interesting to me. I missed that feeling, so I'm glad I finally got to watch this movie.Įvery time I review something from Natsume, I feel like all I do is gush about the same things over and over, but it really is such a great anime series that it's hard not to give it praise for the things it does really well. Legitimately, within the first few minutes of experiencing this lovely story, I just felt instantly relaxed and calm. Would recommend it even as a stand-alone movie and not part of a series.Īh, it's nice to be back in the world of Natsume Yuujinchou. Overall a 10/10, it helped me forget about my other worries and was an incredibly fun ride. The OSTs/Ending song were great as ususal. The art is phenomenal as well as the animation but it felt a bit lacky in that part but I know a 100% flawless animation is extremely difficult to obtain anyways so it wasn't a big problem or anything.

The story is great and unique and the fact that this is a movie after 6 seasons with each season having 12/13 episodes with ovas for every season yet there is such a good idea like this still being presented for the first time makes me happy, I won't spoil anything but it sure was a very fun ride though I will say the fact that we got to know that not every human despised reiko was so heartwarming. Whenever there is a movie made for an anime it usually has some random action and mainly flawed plot but thankfully this is not the case, this feels more like a longer episode of natsume rather than a movie, it is soothing, relaxing and it personally made me very happy considering I didn't like part 6 as much Natsume yuujinchou never fails to amaze me, no matter how old I am or how I personally changed, I can never find myself unable to enjoy it, it is a work of art that continues to this day and I hope I can see more of it.
