I wish they had more info on Machi sooner. It seems pointless in the 2nd to last episode.

Loved hearing Yuki say/think he was never coming back. Akito lost it because Yuki no longer feelsv sad & lonely.

I can't figure Shigure out. I thought I knew his character until the latter half of the season. "Akito should teach them a lesson"???? WTH does that mean!

I hope people noticed that Kana's photo on Hatori's desk is gone looks like he moved on and I sensed a bit of Jealousy from him when he thought Shigure and Mayu got back together.


I noticed the empty frame, but didn't recall what had been in it. Thanks

That was actually a mistranslation. See this reddit thread for more explanation on what he actually said: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/ispo1r/fruits_basket_season_2_episode_24_discussion/g59l5dg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

It isn't pointless because we still have a whole third season. Fruits Basket is 23 Volumes and 136 chapters long. Currently we are around volumes 16/17 and a little shy of chapter 100 (+four chapters that were skipped earlier and will likely be adapted at some point in Season 3). So we still have a ways to go yet, and that means there is still time for Machi to grow and change as a character too.

Really wanted to learn more about Machi and this ep just gave that opportunity. They looked so happy celebrating together besides the fact that Akito had to ruin the mood by what Yuki said.

I feel like Tohru's wish speaks to how the series stakes have been raised- going from two cousins getting along one year to an eternal curse being broken.

And yet the series doesn't feel like its jumped the shark. Hell, it doesn't even feel like its changed that much- because that change was so gradual and organic.

Fruits Basket never fails to impress me.

I'm thinking of why isn't episode 25 available on Internet yet? Or am I waiting on the wrong day?

Machi slowly grows on me. I understand her on "invisible" thingy. Me too felt that, I always feel invisible to other people >,< I'm boring and dull too :(


I can't wait to see the curse broken. I really hate Akito!

The message at the end is really dangerous, especially considering the target audience is middle school girls. It's shit like this that makes people commit suicide, and I know what I'm talking about.

Yuki and Machi arguing though ^-^ hehe.
Also Yuki and Kakeru-- such good friends C:

Speaking of lively.
Aya carrying Yuki princess style xD lmfaoooo, love him so much XD

Hatori stripping off his dance costume was so erotic XDDD thanks for the fanservice, Furuba animation team LOL.

did Machi seriously sleep in the school uniform she wore for the day? Hopefully, she wore a new one in their party next day.

nice, Momoji was able to deliver the cd to Kureno, I hope he watch it.

Akito is good at the job of being an abomination. Nothing new.

Tohru swinging her "pom-poms" at Kyo is kawaii. :)

From what I could understand, Machi noticed that Yuki felt empty although he was surrounded by many people and now he feels that he opened his heart to others. Sadly, Akito realized that Yuki changed and that's why she attacked him.

It looks like the last episode but there's one more!

So I don’t complain much about translations... but that last line from Shigure, I’m really hoping that was a mistake by Crunchyroll and not a line change in the Japanese. I think it totally changes the meaning of what he’s wanting to say there.



It was a Really bad sub translation (which is not unusual for fruits basket's sub unfortunately)

What shigure meant to say at this scene was "If only Akito could understand too"
And he definitely did NOT meant to say "akito should teach them a lesson"

Like that's the complete opposite !!!


Lmao, I thought there was something weird there, so it was a bad sub translation!

I feel like I can relate to Machi... I've been feeling like nothing's interesting and I have been perceived as a dull person.
I'm glad that Yuki is trying to get along with Machi.

Akito never fails to disappoint me... Always pissing me off. Ugh.

I was relieved when I found out it was mistranslated. I was afraid I had him all wrong...for almost 20 years!

A swift passage way to the new year, but damn this is starting to hit the fan. Only a few more characters to move forward and things should be patching up soon. And damn can't wait to see how things will turn out.

Behold of my awesomeness~

Machi is finally gaining a development, nice

Just realized that Ritsu's getting left behind. He needs more screentime; he's being forgotten

So New Year is gonna be the finale? Sounds cool

As we reach the end of the season I still have one major question, what are Shigure's motives for keeping Tohru around. He's made is abundantly clear that she's not there just out of the kindness of his heart, but he has different reasons for keeping her around.

Liking the Yuki×Machi development. The whole argument about maple leaf was cute and funny. It's honestly refreshing to see Yuki smile and constantly trying to do better.

Akito had to ruin everything. Come to think of it we didn't see much conversation between kureno and akito. What if kureno is his/her weakness? Would be funny to see him dump akitos ass after watching the play. Whats shigure gonna do, he was talking about lessons and stuff.

Nice seeing Machi opening up and also Yuki no longer wanting to blame others thereby becoming a purer person whom Akito could only dream of becoming.


On a sidenote I'm glad to have read online that Shigure's last line after Haru leaves of "Akito should teach them a lesson" is a mistranslation of the suppossed "If only Akito could understand too" because otherwise that would be quite the dark twist in Shigure's character.

Machi turning the leaf that Yuki gave her into a bookmark is too cute.

Yuki's growth is so satisfying to see. The look he had in his eyes was similar to a look Kureno had at one point. Hmm.

Maki might be my favorite character in the show. Seeing her change just a little makes me happy.

I mean, I do like the romance of Tohru x Kyo and Rin x Haru. Though Machi x Yuki. I'm sorry, but they do nothing for me.
