This episode was extra hilarious lmao. Laughed so hard how they just played poker outside the school. I expected a graceful horse but no, it's a cow LMAO

Real men ride bicycles with baskets!

Lol Hana knows how to relax in P.E. class.

Haru is one year younger than Yuki and Kyo? He looks older than them though...

A headbutt...is Haru the Ox? Might explain the white and black color.

Yes! I ship Yuki and Haru!

Yep, the Ox. Looks like he isn't afraid to transform. I don't mind riding a cow. Too bad he is male...and pretty small for a cow.

Haha nice delay there when Honda called Yuki by his given name. Good job by the director.

Screw running. Poker is the real man's sport!

Hatsuharu is so much better than I thought. When I skimmed through his description, I thought he was going to be one of those typical edgy characters who are rlly popular for whatever reason, but I am glad I was wrong. He's so gay for Yuki, and gives a bi aura overall. Also he's really caring actually even in his dark mode. I think he's my favorite now in the series along with Tohru with Saki close behind. I do like Hatori too tho and I have some fondness for Shigure as well.

I love so much the fact that Tooru has a different kind of hairstyle in almost every episode. So lovely.

Overall, not the most entertaining episode but it was still a pretty decent one. The final scene with Hana-chan and co. (teacher included) playing cards was quite hilarious, by the way.

Ah, I've forgotten how adorable this anime is, it really really is adorable...

Yuki really seems to love Honda, they're really cute together. The ending really did show us in the cutest way possible...their feelings.

Good episode. Haru is cool character. Also love how Shigure and Kyo ended up playing poker with Hanajima somehow.

oh wow I loved this Episode. I didn't like Yuki that much till now but this Episode really changed my view of him, the little flashback really made me feel for him and I realise there are a lot more things to uncover about his Past.

It was also so cute how he changed and blushed when Tohru addressed him by his First Name

Hana-chan already gave up on running right away and read books and play cards instead. Even the teacher and Shigure joined in the end. So funny. Haru's transformation is so cute and Yuki got really baffled by being called his first name.

Nice episode. I wish Light had apologised for Black holding Tohru without her permission, macho mee... Haha the poker at the end was so funny, and Hana at the start when she only takes a few steps and stops too! I wonder if Tohru wanted to call Yuki by his first name or not, but I guess so: if she thought it was too much, she would probably not have done it. What a lovely plump cow, so cute!

Haru is quite bold. Love his white hair. Also, didn't expect him to be the OX Zodiac.

I keep forgetting there are more zodiac members lolz, being a ox has its perks, wouldn't mind seeing him transform in a enclosed place to just get squished lolz.

This first season is really for introducing all the zodiac members in the Soma Family. Haruhatsu is a cool character and all the members have great backstories.

I really hope for more Kyo X Tohru moments. Allthough it is quite obvious that Yuki will end up with her. The rebellious characters never win! :(

I would totally watch a spin-off involving Saki playing poker against random but increasingly harder opponents.

Surprises me how nobody maked a remark on Kyo running on his bare feet, but I guess he's always been kind of a odd carrot. Haru definitely the most eccentric person so far with his mature appearance despite being in junior high and also his split personality.

There is a 1 in 1,581,254 (or 0.0000632%) chance of playing a 5-of-a-kind in 5-hand poker. I call shenanigans on Hanajima.

Well, we got to see another zodiac animal. The cow.

Apart from that, nothing really interesting happened in this episode. That, or I'm too tired to notice anything that did happen.

In this episode we meet a new member of the Soma, Hatsuharu Soma who is pretty much got a split personality, one side making him a bit airheaded and calm whilst the other side is pretty violent especially around Kyo, the latter which wants to have a fight with him. I honestly really liked his character very enjoyable I must say. 
Hana sure didn’t want to run in that marathon didn’t she? And just wanted to play cards. XD The teacher was trying to get her to move away from the same spot but eventually gave up trying and just decided to join in as well as some other students and Kyo and Shigure no less. Tohru even called Yuki by his own name that he transformed out of embarrassment. How sweet. Overall loved this episode altogether.

just checking in to log my thoughts

when i watched the first episode i was initially very happy because i thought that since they're starting off with just yuki and he's the first one to get "heart-fluttering" scenes with tohru then that means he's endgame. and then kyo appeared and all my hopes were crushed lol i've been trying to accept the fact that yuki ain't getting the girl since episode three but this ep did NOT help with that - it only made me wish for tohru/yuki more. kyo has his moments - the rooftop scene was genuinely great - and i see that he has an absolutely huge amount of favorites on MAL so there's probably a lot going on with him later on, but man, yuki :(

and this is why love polygon shoujo is the devil - 2nd male lead syndrome is real

So, the piercing guy is the Ox, huh? The creative choice to give him a cow-like appearance could be a nod to his complex nature and perhaps his unique perspectives. 🐂 His backstory, intertwined with the folktale of the rat tricking the ox, added such depth to his character. Understanding why he might have harbored resentment towards Yuki, and seeing that transform into a sort of affection, was both intriguing and heartwarming. ❤️

But hey, as much as I appreciate his growth, I'm keeping a watchful eye—no one better get in the way of my beloved Tohru and Yuki ship! 😠

And now, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see who the Monkey will be, considering that's my Zodiac sign. 👀 With the show's track record of giving each Zodiac member such unique traits and stories, I can't help but wonder what quirks and twists the Monkey character will bring to the table. 🐒✨

great I thought this show was boring at first but since so many people thought it was so good i thought I'd finish season on first and I am glad I did that.
