Though, these type of episodes are always the best, because unlike usual where we have to deal with evil/unfriendly youkai, these are just gentle, nice youkai that just wanted to see their goddess happy to come to that shrine and be pleased with it. Thankfully, Natsume delivered, and the goddess came, and not only enjoyed her visit there, but even made the place more appealing by getting some flowers on those dead trees.
Look at my boy, man. He deserves some downtime like this every now and then.

Those were some funny and troublesome yokai.
Well, I'm glad that Natsume was able to help them. They were so happy to see the Princess Shida again.
And Nyanko-sensei still cares most about sake, lol.

Still destroying the flower bed wasn't that nice of them, it got fixed in the end tho.
Yet another nice peaceful episode.

This week's episode is a nice, melancholic one. It's nice to see Natsume becoming more and more at ease with the Fujiwaras, and I thought those guardians were bad news before, but they turned out to be nice youkais who only wants to make the box garden mansion for their goddess to look presentable. It's nice that we got to see the goddess come back & enjoynthe guardians' dedication at making her little shrine presentable & worthy of her visit.

This was a nice episode, even better than the first. It's not often that we get to see a non-adventure collaborative project between Natsume and yokai with them roping him into fixing up their box shrine garden before they all plant seeds. Plus, the ending is spiritually rejuvenating and downright gorgeous with the beautiful yokai lady and the garden erupting with blooming flower petals. Hell, those petals were all 2D and I didn't even notice any animation-looping so either they went absolutely ham there, or they executed such a technique in such a way where it's exceptionally difficult to notice. That sequence feels like a technical marvel, even without being some explosive sakuga-fest.

Beautiful and happy for the 5 guardian youkai. Not only the flowers but the person who cherishes it make it more precious memories.

I want to know who voted for "dislike" it on this episode. If you don't like the vibe of Natsume I get it but to be 7 seasons in and not like a great episode like this just I need to know who😂

@Tarrian Indeed. This could easily have 10+ seasons without getting boring.

I always wonder how powerful Natsume is because some of the yokai he deals with are actual Gods.

I don’t know what it is but I always feel so happy and nostalgic watching this series. This episode was all I could have hoped for. I love to see Natsume learning and being handy and crafty and all the while deepening relationships not only with his family but with the spirits. As usual it brought a tear to my eyes. I can’t wait until next week!

Beautiful episode, and I loved both the new opening and ending! Seeing all the characters once again felt so nostalgic, and it was great seeing Natsume add his own touch to the Fujiwara house :)

Nostalgia, so much of it. I want to run away to Natsume's world, like how he wants to run away to the miniature house.
