The show is off to a decent start. My first impression was that Natsume Yuujinchou is a weird mix between Kekkaishi and Bleach. However, towards the end of the episode it seemed much more mild than either series. I’m hoping that it’ll be able to stand out on its own, and offer us something more original.
It’s about a boy named Takashi who is able to see spirits (ayakashi) that no one else around him can see. Apparently it is a trait that he took after his grandmother who fought with the spirits when she was younger, and they now chase after Takashi believing that he is her reincarnated. We catch glimpses of the past when Takashi returns an ayakashi’s name, and it shows how his grandmother originally met (and defeated) them. Most of the exciting parts to this storyline has been through these little snippets.
