The 5th season of Natsume Yuujinchou (Natsume's Book of Friends) by author Yuki Midorikawa has been announced. The new series will be titled Natsume Yuujinchou Go and will premiere on TV this fall.
The staff from previous seasons returns, with the exception of the animation studio. Takahiro Omori (Durarara!!) is the chief director at Shuka Studio (Durarara!! ×2), and Kotomi Deai (The Rolling Girls) is directing.
The original story follows Takashi Natsume, cursed to see spirits called Youkai, a power inherited from his grandmother Reiko. After her death, Reiko leaves her grandson a book containing the names of the spirits Reiko had acquired through her battles with the spirits (Yōkai). The Book of Friends is a highly prized item in the spirit world, and the spirits constantly haunt Takashi.
The fourth season premiered in 2012 with animation by Brains Base.
