| Although Kyo is a tsundere I like him a bit, I hope he wins against Yuki next time. Those hugs are a nuisance though, I wonder how will they be intimate with their partners? I'm really interested since this has a romance tag. |

| OP is nice but it felt way too slow, would've worked better as an ED imo. Something slightly faster and more upbeat for OP would've been nice. Still liking the new reboot, but can't help but feel like they should've gone the Parasyte method - e.g. update/modernize some things. It's too faithful to the manga which is making it feel cheesy and dated. Also, they really need to get rid of that awful CGI transformation fog. |

Lelouch0202 said: Great episode. As many people have mentioned, this has such a nice and classic shoujo feel to it. It's also pretty soothing to watch. The OP and ED are beautiful. :) Liking all the characters already, I did see quite a lot of male characters in the ED so I guess a question to the manga readers. How reverse harem does this get? Does it ever get overbearing with too many relationship interests? Nah, those males you saw either like someone else that isnt tohru or nobody at all. |
 |
| Just another great episode. Having read the manga, I'm finding I've been getting grit in my eyes every now and then when the dialogue is related to parts of the back story that haven't been revealed yet. I really hope that they adapt the entire manga this time, since most of the power of the story (and most of the story itself) comes from the chapters that are after where the first anime ended. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| This got pretty interesting with the development of their relationship. Also, Yuki said transforming in animals doesn't grant them superpowers but then Kyou jumped from like the third floor and landed like a cat would. |

| I love the new Opening, It's really calming, and beautifully sung. I rarely watch through the openings after viewing it for the first time, but I think I'll watch the opening every episode. <3 |
| honestly i feel like i'm gonna like yuki a lot more than kyou, but of course plot and him being the cat, he's gonna win tohru over. |
| This episode was simple. And getting to dive more into Kyo more. The opening had to feel so heart felt dang it. |
| OP has a close vibe to the 2001 OP, I can't understand people complaining, go figure... |
 |
| Yep classic shoujo feel. Good episode though, OP and ED are nice as well! |
uninstallthegame said: ah, the OP is so shoujo, but not bad at all also, i can smell the incoming love triangle shit that is so typical for shoujo anime, and i'm really afraid it'll ruin this wholesome atmosphere Honestly I hate love triangles more than anything in any narrative and I wouldn’t really say this a typical one or even one in general. You can tell from the very beginning where the ships will be going. It’s easy to mistake Fruits Basket for a reverse harem but really not all the love the characters have for Torhu is romantic. There’s a lot of just pure admiration for her personality. |
| Oscar and Andre deserved better |
| Who else is #TeamKyou? First time watching fruits basket btw... |
| When Yuki transformed into a mouse in school, if you look at his clothes, you will notice he was going commando. Lol. The reddish-orange guy is annoying. He reminds me of Asuka from NGE. I wanna know what the author was thinking when she decided to make Yuki a mouse. Mice are so disgusting! The delivery guy at the start of the episode was kind of attractive in a way that looked like he'd be important later in the series. |
| Transform when sick or hugged by the opposite sex huh... Listen to this Opening theme! Listen to it! Kyo got slapped! Akito...isn't that a kind of dog breed? Sucks for Yuki. Can't get a girlfriend because of his secret... Well gotta hand it to Kyo. He's got self-defense skills to avoid getting hugged by a girl... Kyo's got the right idea. The perfect girl does not exist! This would have been hard to catch if you blinked during this scene: Talk about Kyo being Tsundere... Well I can see where this is going. Considering that there's a lot more animals in the zodiac, Tohru's harem might grow a little more. Until then... |
 |
| I think this may be my favorite anime of 2019 (so far!), I have 0 criticisms so far! The story is so cute and wholesome! |
| I love Kyo so so so so so much. Looking forward to watching this every week. |
| I’m loving the new series. It is quite different in its tone, but I think that’s a good thing. 1. I don’t want it to be a copy of the original, I want them both to stand on their own. & 2. I’m enjoying the more mellowness, with the little bits of humor. It doesn’t have the super over the top humor that the first anime had. I enjoyed that in the original, but that one was much more comedy based, and this one should be much more drama/emotion based. I’m really excited to see next weeks episode! |
| Kyo is already a top tier tsundere |
 |
| At the speed they're going it's probably gonna be 3 seasons of 24 eps, or 2 season of 24 eps + one of 12. The adaptation is pretty great, but less funny than the manga, which was one of my favorite things about it, but it's ok since the story gets more dramatic later. The scenes with kyo were so sweet, they're doing a good job with him. If you're worried about the love triangle, DON'T BE. Everything will make sense in the end, and it's gonna be so satisfying, just watch. If you can't understand tohru's appeal you will later on, and if you still don't you have a heart made of stone. |
justlynn6785 said: I like both Kyo and Yuki - if I had to choose one favorite right now after 2 eps, it honestly would be super difficult. I’m sure I will eventually favor one over the other, but regardless, I am really enjoying this show and all the characters. Had a smile on my face throughout most of the whole episode. :) I switched between them during the whole manga, it gets more difficult since you really get to understand both of them later on. and at the end i decided i can't pick one. |
| I'm definitely enjoying this so far, but I still need to adjust to the whole Zodiac and transforming things before they start grating on me. |
| The Opening theme it's is a beautiful song the ending theme is great! I prefer them over the old ones! Kyo love him some much! I still not really like Yuki VA Prefer this old one! I now got use to the animation more I think it is so cute but simple too. I really like all the scenes with Kyo and Tooru Scenes a lot! I really love to see more of this anime I hope the first season of this new version at least had 24 episode! I can't wait to see Kagura I think she is in the next episode or in episode 4. |
| The OP is a bit slow in my opinion, but the ending especially is beautiful. I smell a huge reverse harem right from the start. Hope it doesn't gets much overbearing. |
 |
| I was kind of scared at first that I will get bored with watching this considering that I already know the story before but surprisingly, this remake so far is really good and heartwarming at the same time. Very cute song for the OP too! |
Kyo Soma the most adorable tsundere guy ever.    -Rogue said: The OP is a bit slow in my opinion, but the ending especially is beautiful. I smell a huge reverse harem right from the start. Hope it doesn't gets much overbearing. It's not reverse harem. Other male characters have their own love interests. Only Kyo and Yuki are interested in Tohru in romantic way and even that love triangle isn't bothersome, because it will become more and more obvious who Tohru likes and she's the one to confess first and other guy finds new love interest. There are also female characters,that turn into zodiac animals. and it has multiple couples. All Fruits Basket couples. I put it under spoiler tag. |

| What can I say? I'm in love again. Can't describe how happy I am that they decided to give Fruits Basket a new adaption, what a time to be alive. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| I feel like I'm both part of the Yuki fan club and the Year of the Cat fan club after this remake. Great episode and great to see they managed to fit half of Episode 3 from the 2001 version into this! I do not think the scenes that were cut were extremely important. Excited for the next one! |
 |
| Great episode~! It's so wholesome and sweet~ I can't wait for the new characters to appear! The OP was great, the singer has a great voice! |
| I just have to say, i thought the less humor would kinda idk make it less magic to me compared to when i first watched, but i have to say the humor is pretty fine too. Obviously i love the elevated humor from the original anime, but an anime focuse more od the shoujo and drama is fine too. Kyo is a cutie angry pie and i love him so much, but i still prefer my rat boy Yuki lmao, also besides my preference of cold and calm nature characters over hotheaded ones, Yuki still is one of my first "anime crushes" lmao (and his original silver hair and eyes are making it easy lmao). The animation is lit tho, the fight scene was pretty good, and i loved the ost playing on it. |
 |
| Don't know the manga or 2001 anime, but i have a STRONG feeling that Tohru will become one of my favorites of all time |
 |
| I'm actually in the process of rewatching the original so I can youknow see the difference. And oh my god am I like a middle schooler all over again. I'm so excited to see my cute cute tsundere husband again. ;-; My baby boy looks so cute with his new design too. I love it. This is totally making my Saturdays. I wish I could just binge it already. I was kinda sad that they cut out the cleaning scene lol I always thought that part was funny but ah well! |

| Kyou is acting dificult, but he does have a kind heart in the end ^^ Very cute! That boy is such a Tsundere XD Loving the Opening and Ending song <3 |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| The episode had its fun moments and I like the lighthearted atmosphere but it's also so naive. And Tooru just has to be so careless as to hug them even knowing the secret. I get that it's for the comedy sake and to drive the story forward. But still... Maybe I'm getting too old for such things. |

Can someone spoil me whether this ends openly without her deciding which one she'll go out with or if it has a more definitive ending where she gets together with one of them for real? |
| I saw the 2001 version back when I was a kid and I didn’t like it that much so I dropped it. But oh boy, this reboot is everything. I’m absolutely hooked, it only felt like a few minutes instead of twenty. The wait for each week is dreadful. And can I just say how beautiful the OP is? I fell in love with it along with the meaning of the lyrics. I can imagine it coming from Kyo’s perspective. Instant feels. :’( |
| Great episode, I'm curious to see the other members of Soma's clan ! Although, it already made me happy that the title already claims it is season 1, which means a good amount of episodes for a show I already appreciate. |
 |
| Not sure on the OP but I'm sure it will grow on me! I love when the turn into animals, they look adorable |
| thats my girl Tooru, already made both bois fall for her a little. i was rooting for the Yuki and Tohru ship in the original and disliked kyou a little but somehow I now find kyous personality much more appealing |
