15 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Natsume Yuujinchou × Kumamoto-ken: Hitoyoshi Kuma de no Yasashii Jikan
The Natsume's Book of Friends watch order spans six blocks of episodes plus seven OVAs and two films, arranged so every gentle side story lands in the right place. Start with episodes 1-13, then episodes 14-26, followed by the 3D Nyanko-sensei special before continuing through episodes 27-39 and 40-52. Several OVAs — including Nyanko-sensei to, Itsuka Yuki no Hi ni and the first-errand OAD — come next, ahead of episodes 52-63. More shorts, Hitoyosakazuki and Yuugi no Utage, precede episodes 64-74, with the Suzunaru no Kirikabu and Mugen no Kakera OVAs after that. The order closes with the film Utsusemi ni Musubu. Following this sequence keeps Natsume and Nyanko-sensei's episodic encounters in chronological order and places each OVA beside the season it accompanies. If you only want the core seasons, the episode blocks stand alone, but this is the complete order including all movies and OVAs for the full run.
