Ok, this discussion was a pain to find but I thought it deserved to be resurrected because of the fifth season.
As you may know, there was an appreciation project campaigning for the fifth season
here. As a silent supporter, I'm glad for their success.
Thoughts on new season:
I'm digging the new animation style and everything. Natsume's expressions have become more... expressionful.
The focus is shifting toward Natsume's family and stuff to carry the plot forward. Some people still complain about how slow it is, but its better to go slow than squeeze all plot content into the fifth season.
