Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode #13 (END) – ‘Curtain call’

By Maipeisu | Published: October 4, 2008

Not all unpleasant, eh? Well, friends, we have finally arrived at the end. It feels like just yesterday that I picked this series up, so it is hard to believe that some months have already passed me by. Time has flown; and true to the adage, dare I say -- it has been a lot of [...]

Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode #12 – Five Day Mark

By Maipeisu | Published: September 29, 2008

Use the Fly Honey, Ness! Pretty dank contrast to the usual festivity of THAT's front page, wouldn't you say? Episode 12 is finally here (don't blame me, blame the subbers if you must), and for a penultimate episode, it most certainly doesn't disappoint. Perhaps the writers were very insightful, and realized that they had mixed in [...]

Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode #11 – “WHITE PIGLET!”, or “Falling down and a falling-out”

By Maipeisu | Published: September 20, 2008

Nyanko doesn't approve! Since Nyanko-sensei is responsible for like ninety percent of the lulz in NYC, it should come as no surprise that an episode *about* Nyanko-sensei would turn out to be MEGA-LULFEST. Prepare to laugh your ass off. The fat cat commits one too many atrocities (namely, eating all the shrimp in the fridge) and [...]

Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode #10 – The beautiful koto player and the umbrella holder

By Maipeisu | Published: September 12, 2008

So surreal... Following a few daring plunges into a sea of pathos we are back to the familiar, peculiar kaleidescope of musings and sentiments that make NYC (Natsume Yuujin-chou) a decidedly relaxing experience. That is to say, the latest episode is nothing out of the ordinary (as far as NYC goes), but it is not boring [...]

Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode #09 – Takashi’s long-lost, FABULOUS, shotacon aniki

By Maipeisu | Published: September 7, 2008

Takashi: I'll press charges. Well I must say the good folks at Brains Base (ブレインズ･ベース) have really raised the bar on this series. This week's ep was every bit as entertaining as the last, but in a different, lulzy, furikuri sort of way. Takashi finally meets (or more like, "is molested by") another person who [...]

Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode #08 – “…Better to have loved and lost…”

By Maipeisu | Published: August 28, 2008

I realize I bash this series sometimes, but it really does have a lot of substance. Looks like I'll have to eat my words this week ^^ Takashi-kun's latest adventure moved me nearly to tears. He meets another masked lady-youkai (a firefly, this time) hunched tightly against a man sitting at a lake. She is stunned [...]

Natsume Yuujin-chou, Episode(s) 6 & 7 – Blurring the lines

By Maipeisu | Published: August 22, 2008

Yes, thank you!!!! Thank for not sucking (rofl)!!!! After watching episodes four and five, I was almost certain that episode six would crystallize my tentative decision to sweep Nastume Yuujin-chou into THAT’s ‘Dropped’ section and close the lid. Anxiously certain. Freedom was so close, I could almost taste it. I probably would have done so much [...]
