DESCRIPTION
Blessed with eyes that are able to perceive the otherwise invisible youkai, Takashi Natsume hides his ability from his newfound family and friends to protect everyone's peaceful daily life. Nonetheless, Natsume never fails to show the same kindness to the benevolent youkai and happily returns their names by using the infamous Book of Friends he inherited from his late grandmother, Reiko.
Meanwhile, the exorcist clan Matoba still wishes for Natsume to join their ranks due to his overwhelming gift. However, Natsume firmly rejects the clan's invitation since not all exorcists are as reasonable as his friend Shuuichi Natori, and many improperly and indiscriminately seal away every youkai in their way. Unsatisfied with Natsume's answer, Seiji Matoba blackmails Natsume into attending a grand gathering of powerful exorcist families. Natsume soon finds himself in the company of dangerous people and youkai alike. But even then, he continues to defy the exorcists' hard-handed methods and believes that peace between both worlds is possible.

Possibly the most hilarious season you will getContinue on AniListDid I say in my season three review that the focus point is reminiscing the past? Yes, I did. Strangely enough, season four is also about the past. Do I want to change what I said about season three? Absolutely not.

If you have read all of my reviews for the past three season for Natsume Yuujinchou, then you probably know what is coming next. Yes, a synopsis because Anilist wants us to meet the minimum number of characters of 2200. So, you can go ahead and skip the synopsis because I am pretty sure that by now, you should know what the anime is all about.
Natsume Yuujinchou follows a teenage boy called Natsume Takashi on his every day life, from school to bonding with his friends. However, he has the ability to see and communicate with youkais due to his inherited high spiritual powers. Part of his daily life revolves around getting to know the youkais, learning their stories, helping them with their problems, tying up loose ends his late grandmother left behind, and returning the names his grandmother took from them.
Right, with the synopsis done, it's time to delve into season four's review. As I mentioned in my opening, season three and four has a very similar theme. If you did read my season three review, and also watched the season, the series does focus on the youkais reminiscing about the past. It was heartbreaking to a certain point as the youkais did not really understand the fragility of human lifespan. Again, the series set to remind us in season three that humans are not the only creatures in the world who has emotions.

Alas, season three was only the beginning. In season four, the series is going to throw you into the abyss of memories. Okay, may be I am exaggerating but flashbacks are more common in this season. Apart from being drown in memories, we will also be thrown deeper into the world of exorcism. While it is not uncommon to find Natsume constantly in trouble with the youkais in general, this season is stretching the limit of how much trouble he could get into, from being kidnapped and being trapped to playing stand-in.

Trust me, you would want to watch this season intently because of all of the hilarious moments you can get. I couldn't get enough of this season, to be honest...
With that being said, season four does not have much lore progression to say, except that we get to learn more about Natsume's past, and also the Matoba clan. However, this seems to be the start of more lore drop regarding the Natsume family.
