The anime, also known as Natsume Yuujinchou, debuted with its first season all the way back in 2008.

While it followed up with six extra seasons, production has been rather sporadic over the years.

For instance, after season 4 ended in March 2012, season 5 didn't premiere until 2016.

Now the latest run has premiered, however, each airing should hopefully be as consistent as other release schedules, like the one for Dragon Ball Daima.

Season 6 started just four months after season 5's end, but then the series lay dormant for seven years until season 7's premiere.

Let's get into when and where you can watch every episode of Natsume's Book of Friends season 7.
