Kisa was so cute but I felt sorry for her :( Bullying is not nice, when I was in grade school I only had few friends and I felt that another student's on my class didn't like me at all! I was really shy back then.

the episode about momiji and is mum made me sad but everyting that happened to kisa made me even more sad and it must have been so ard for her. I guess in this episode it was more about Yuki solving the problem instead of Tohru. So go Yuki

I'm not sure I could put it better myself. :D

The effect Tohru is having on all the Jyuunishi is amazing.

This episode was really gentle and sweet... It was nice seeing Kisa speak again at the end. :)

This is probably my favorite episode in this series

it was just cute
I'm just a big visual novel fan but have also watched quite a bit of anime and played a bunch of games. Avatar is Mashiro from Making*Lovers and Kotori from Rewrite.

LMFAO nice.

I love Kisa. I felt bad for her but it was nice to see her mom caring for her. I think what Yuki said to Kisa was completely touching. I think what he said about people being strong and wear is true too.

It is a bit much that Tohru seems to sense what all these characters are feeling, considering that she has never had the experience of being rejected herself. Which is not to say that she hasn't had any pain in her life. Maybe the loss of both her parents made her especially perceptive?
But I was deeply touched by this episode. I really felt for Kisa and I was happy that Tohru's influence somehow gave her the space for her to finally be comfortable enough to speak and to go back to school. Same thing with Yuki making up his mind to run for the school election.
Profound truths, told simply.
I love this anime!

Awww Kisa is so kawaii <3
I think tohru understand the people that is rejected because they feel lonely and well since Tohru doesn't have parents she feel lonely sometimes.
Every character in this series seem to have a sad story T_T

Kisa was like... super kawaii.

I could really empathize with her story, so it was really heartwarming each time she got at least a little bit better. :3

You sure? Sure seem to me that she was being rejected by her classmates in the 'Rice Ball' episode (ep 5). She just was able to deal with it better than Kisa.

I thought it was a cute episode. Pretty much every episode of Fruits Basket is cute, though. On Wikipedia it says Kisa has autism. Is this true or is someone just writing random things on Wikipedia?

I thought she might have autism too from the last episode preview. But after seeing the episode I think it's safe to say she does not have autism. While people with autism generally have problems with speaking and socializing, those symptoms are usually present from a very early age. Kisa didn't have problems speaking when she was younger and stopped talking because she was being bullied. I see how this could be confusing seeing as people usually don't have much knowledge about autism.

Sometimes, we need someone to accept us and love us first.
Then, we would learn to see ourselves through that person’s
eyes and learn to love ourselves.-by Yuki . 'nuff said <33333

the balance between the voice acting and the "background" music is very off. The music is way too loud I sometimes have to rewind and turn the volume up to ridiculous levels just to hear them.


I like Kisa, she's an innocent kid that's been bullied so how can I not, but honestly...this episode was a snooze fest.

Yo, mah nigga, that little girl was freaking cute. Getting bullied for being cute? Fucking kids, man. They nitpick on the most stupid things.

For being an airhead, Toru sure know how to make some well crafted speeches. Whenever I want to say something cool, it always come out in the stupidest way possible.

The curse has really caused great problems for the Sohma's, this series could've easily just played it for laughs and the transformations as just a gag gimmick and I'm happy It didn't go that way.

I hope the mom at least has a conference with the teacher to see if something can be done to prevent the bullying.

This one makes me cry more than Momiji's lol. The scene where she transforms back into herself and rubs Tohru's hand to say sorry the only way she can at the moment, and those little sad twinkles, oh gosh.

I'm starting to really like Hatsuharu and dislike Kyo. Kyo bossed Tohru around because he was hungry and she even apologised... this makes me see red. First I liked Kyo because he is a cat but his behaviour is really insufferable and not improving over such a long time.
