Rose Faerie's Review
Violence: It's the same slapstick, threats, and fantasy violence as usual.

Sex and Nudity: None, as per usual.

Theological Themes: Again, it's the same as previous seasons.

Problematic Themes: There's some alcohol consumption, though I don't remember Nyanko-sensei getting drunk this time around.

Overall: This was a very solid entry into the Natsume franchise.

I was extremely pleased by the backstories this season. We get to see Natori as a high school student, as well as his backstory with the head of the Matoba clan. This offered a lot of insight into his character.

We also get to see the Fujiwaras before they take in Natsume, as well as what lead up to their decision to foster him.

I love the way the world around Natsume gets so fleshed out. I always felt like everyone and everything had a purpose.

The music was also super nice this season. It was an improvement over the theme song for season 4, which annoyed me. I actually recognized the artists for this season from other anime Sasanomaly and Aimer, who did the OP and ED respectively.

I'd say older elementary school and middle school would be the youngest ages I'd give this series to.
