| I am really happy with this adaptation. Opening is really cute. I still like the one of the first anime. But this Op is really cute. About the episode I liked it. I t has minimal differences with manga, but they not really important for the story, I mean. Oh, poor Kyo. I can understand him about being the new in school, being nervous with lots of curious people surrounding you and making too many questions. |
| ED is so good. The cat is a dick, but I can see why. |
| Kyo is still the best male tsundere ever. |

| OP was great, it was sung by Beverly who also did Fairy Tail ED song, Endless Harmony. She has a beautiful, nostalgic early 2000s jpop voice and I hope she can do more anime songs in the future. I loved how Kyo-centric this episode was. I remember many of these scenes from the first series. Not everyone is going to like this series unless they're into shoujo or fans or the original series. I read that some people are reminded of Bakugo from Boku no Hero Academia when they see Kyo, they're both hotheaded and unlikeable from the start. I noticed that the OP says FIRST SEASON in the title, I hope they make lots of seasons to cover ALL of the manga. |

Thank you so much for telling me! That makes me feel a little relieved to be honest, not that the other kind of ending couldn't be well made or fitting but for this anime/ manga and these characters I was wishing to see the kind of ending you've described. Thank you! |
| I was giggling a lot while watching the ep. HIHIHI~ This adaptation is good for me so far. Can't wait for more episodes! |
  |
| Beautiful op, probably my favorite this season. I forgot how much I liked Kyo back when I first watched the 2001 version, it was 10 years ago. The mellow atmosphere is what I love the most and the characters are entertaining to watch as always. I am so satisfied with this adaptation. |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| Too many Akito references so soon, I think. 3/5 It still fails in the comedic department. @uninstallthegame It didn't feel like a triangle was installed back when I was reading the publishing manga. And the series actually doesn't feature the one you think. Also, love triangles are not especially a girl-oriented thing. They swarm everywhere, no matter if the fiction is destined to boys or girls. @Kimurah Indeed, the comedic ingredient isn't well managed in this version. They're probably trying to evacuate it in favour of the dramatic side expansion. Mattinator95 said: 1998 - 2006 . It's gonna have cliche moments Look at mythos from all over the world, or any period litterature. There has always been ideas/elements bound to be "re-used" everywhere. |

| This was a decent episode. I am slowly getting used to the new character design. The animation is still very good. Also, the new OP was great (although I miss the old one) and I guess there will be more seasons! Well, Hana-chan's 'Wave Report' was creepingly on point haha. It made me laugh so hard. I liked Akito's lecture about finding someone who likes you for who you truly are. If only Kyo would open his eyes (or heart) huh :P Tooru's 'confession' was cute. I love Kyo-kun's stubborness though, he is so cute! :D |
 |
| Never read the manga nor saw the (old) anime, even though I am a sucker for shoujo stories. Can't believe how nostalgic this show feels even though I've never watched it before. It reminds me so much of anime I used to watch D: |

| This episode brought back so many memories, oh gosh... I haven't read the manga, but I did watch the 2001 series. There is definitely more foreshadowing in this adaptation than the original, that's for sure, and picking up on it has me feeling all giddy and excited like I'm back in high school! I'm a little bit torn on the OP. It is very reminiscent of the original series' OP, but I do feel as if this one would work better as an ED. It's only two episodes in and I can say that they have done wonders with this adaptation already. It's so charming. Absolutely brilliant. |
| Good episode again this week. |

| Oh the rare male tsundere suddenly appears lol |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I love Tohru, she's precious. Also I like how no one is mean to her unnecessarily, and in Yuki's case, he has his issues and he's working on it. The OP is as good as the ED. Among the guys, I like Shigure the most so far. What can I say, I love it. |
| Really love this adaptation |
| Despite the reverse harem vibes (sorry but I m a guy), I liked this episode more than first. Characters are interesting so far, want to see more. |
 |
| It was an OK episode. It’s had its comedic moments and the visuals don’t disappoint. I liked the 1st episode more. Maybe I don’t really like the direction this is going. Transforming humans to animals..? The male characters so far kinda annoy me... But we’ll see how it all goes next episode |
 plz @ me |
| Ok episode. They combined chapters 2 and 3. Next episode should come Kagura, hehe. The old anime's ep 2 and half of ep 3 was still better (comedy and soundtrack). This time the pacing is a bit faster, but they aren't skipping anything important. Opening was nice, they included Kagura and Akito, but no Ayame. :/ I don't think we will get 2 openings for the 1st season, so why are Kisa and Hiro in the ending and Kagura and Ayame aren't even though they appear sooner? Akito missing is maybe ok, but not those 2. And Ayame missing even in the opening, so sad. |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| The OP is good but I like the ED more. Both good songs though. Lol at this point I can’t decide if I like Kyo or Yuki more. Kyo is a cat and a Tsun. How much better can it get??? Yuki and Kyo also have a very interesting rivalry. Yuki seems to beat poor kyo at everything. |
| Oh, boy. Going to be rough to witness Akito's manipulative and abusive nature all over again. |
| Absolutely loving this reboot!! This episode was amazing, I legit cried when Tohru was in the forest with Kyo-kun and told him how much she loved the cat zodiac, and said that she can tell that he understands the weight of the words "i'm sorry" and ahhh my heart broke I do wish the OP and ED were kept the same, but the actual series is being remade so well! The animation is amazing, and even better than the original - it looks a lot more like the manga. And I though I'd be bothered by new voice actors, but honestly the new ones are doing such a good job. Iwami-sensei makes a perfect Tohru, so much so that I barely even noticed it was a different VA. I'm sooo hyped for this season, and even more hyped for the next season where they finish the entire story! Ahhhhh it's going to be so awesome! |

Besides, you have to remember none of these guys have any normal human relationships, Kyo lives in complete isolation to the point that he doubts he can even fit in or interact with people and Yuki's entire personality to the outside world is an act to make himself likable. Tohru is the only one who saw the real him. To these socially deprived people, I don't imagine that falling in love with someone who's nice to them, and reacts positively to their biggest fears and insecurities - easing them, would be that unusual or strange. |

The generic nice guy/girl protagonist has been done to death. There's nothing unique or interesting about that. The whole thing comes off a little like a form of wish fulfillment, with the self-insert character ending up in a fortuitous situation where even the most basic form of human kindness leads to multiple people falling in love with her. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| @thebond_thecurse Great post. People also have to remember that the Fruits Basket manga came out all the way back in 1998! If some of the things feel like they've been done to death...again, 1998. And Fruits Basket obviously inspired other series. All that being said, there's much more to Fruits Basket, like you posted. But, spoiler territory. |
| Funny Episode!!! loving Kyo's character. And i knew that Tohru's VA was Teresa from Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai once i heard her talk it was obvious. |

| Kyo really like to fight. Tohru is cute. Usually I hate this type of chracters but I think she's a decent person. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
thebond_thecurse said: her character gets a lot of development of her own and I would say the two main factors of her storyline are 1) having to learn that while her kindness and acceptance and concern to help others is admirable, as one character later on says to her "I'm worried it's going to crush you one day" and 2) her dealing with some really severe grief and depression over her mother's death, unhealthy coping mechanisms and difficulty moving on, that she's masking with the aforementioned optimistic attitude. Regarding Tohru's general niceness and agreeable nature - one thing I really loved from the end of the 2001 anime was |

| Kyo injuring Tohru is purely by accident - but still pissed off Yuki to go into a serious brawl with cat man. :p Well, since Tohru's mind was not wiped.. residents of the hosue can enjoy decent food from now on. :) |
| >people in here criticizing Tohru for being sympathetic, nice, and just all-around lovely y'all are some bitter ol' fucks. She's adorable. |

| "I have a feeling the days ahead will be fun!" Well, I could say the same with this series. It may look like a shoujo anime but I could watch it and still enjoy it |
 |
| I'm stunned, I still adore Kyou the most, but man, Yuki's also great in this version! His new improved looks and way better, MALE seiyuu made a great difference. Now I'm gonna love both of them! >///< |
  |
| Haha, Kyo is cool, both as a human and in his cat form. :D |
| I adore the reboot so far! After watching it at the pre-screening, I decided to re-watch these. The animation is so beautiful as is the intro and outro songs, which were not shown at the pre-screening. This version of Yuki honestly has my heart pumping a bit more than the original, especially the scene where he asked Tohru if she told her friends their secret. I'm loving my Tsundere Kyo so far, and can't wait to watch his growth! |
 |
| This episode was SOOO shoujo... and I really liked it. The atmosphere is really comfy and the interactions between the characters are being quite enjoyable as well. Regarding Kyou, I have to admit he has his charm. Not to mention that I find his interactions with Tooru to be extremely entertaining if I'm honest. |
| Lmao Kyo being tsundere on behalf of all the cats out there |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| The characters are all so precious. I especially love the main girl. She's super duper nice. I'm really glad I decided to pick up this anime. |
