Ocampo's Moon/Quesada's Swan Watches Natsume Yuujinchou/Natsume's Book of Friends
This is the main page of my liveblog of Natsume's Book of Friends.
Here's a general, paraphrased summary of the show taken from wikipedia:
Natsume's Book of Friends (夏目友人帳 or Natsume Yuujinchou) is a Japanese fantasy manga series by Yuki Midorikawa. It began serialization by Hakusensha in the shoujo manga magazine LaLa DX in 2005, before switching to LaLa in 2008. The chapters have been collected in 29 bound volumes. The series is about Takashi Natsume, an orphaned teenage boy who can see spirits, who inherits from his grandmother the notebook she used to bind spirits under her control.
Natsume's Book of Friends has been adapted as a series of drama CDs, as well as an anime television series produced by Brain's Base (for seasons 1-4) and Shuka (for seasons 5-7), which was broadcast on TV Tokyo for 7 seasons in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2017, and 2024.
The movie Natsume's Book of Friends: Tied to the Temporal World was released in theatres on September 29, 2018.
Another full-length movie Natsume's Book of Friends: The Waking Rock and the Strange Visitor was released in theatres on January 16, 2021.
For its 15th anniversary, a seventh season was announced on July 1, 2023. The seventh season was (finally!) broadcast from October 8 to December 24, 2024.
This watchthrough will cover the entire series minus the animated shorts. I started watching through this wonderful show on October 17, 2016, and finished six seasons of it on September 30, 2018. The liveblog for the seventh season will be done, but not uploaded soon.
