| shit the visuals on the OP and ED are fantastic lul. I like how the OP shows all (most) the pairings/ships while the ED shows a future where they get together (though is the one beside Hatori his ex or someone else?) as for the episode itself though, damn straight away with the drama. So it turns out behind every evil mastermind there's an even eviler twat, Akito's mother clearly seems to be the cause behind the deranged Akito but doesn't that whole commitment the 4 of them have to never leave Akito's side end up making Akito the ultimate ship destroyer :P |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| The OP was visually impressive, I loved that! Glad that Fruits Basket is back!! So the reveal of Akito being Female, where it ended last season, continued straight from there and right after we got the introduction of Akito's mother. That backstory of Akito is interesting, it explains why she is so rude and aggressive towards others, but still not enough reason for me to forgive what she has done up to now. It was quite the eye opener though. A really emotional episode from the get go and I love the moment in Saki's household. They are truly best friends. A really powerful moment and hug from Arisa. |
 |
| That was beautifully done. I'm in tears. Missed this show so much, right in the feels! |
 |
| First episode and it already goes this hard, lots of new information for Tohru to process. Final scene with the gang together was pretty nice, Kyou being Kyou. |
 |
| Hm, I like the OP's song but not the visuals. I like when everything is drawn, not this real world photos with drawn characters in the middle. Also, they didn't include Ritsu and included Kagura really shortly. Yay for grown up Momiji though. About the ED, the song's nothing special, but the mangaka's drawings are cute, but too spoilerish. This should have been the 2nd ED. There are some sentences with weird wording, but nothing wrongly translated yet. But I'm sure there will be again, like there was before. Looks like next episode will be chapters 100-101. I wonder when they will show the skipped chapters 90-93... |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| I feel this should be watched right after the last episode to get the full emotional impact. So, if anyone here didn't see it yet, go (re)watch S2EP25 first. Now, with that out of the way... Mama Soma seems good. Like her already. Akito is still just abusive piece of s$!7 for me. I just realized how much i missed Arisa... The OP was sick ! |

| this show gets to me so much???? i didn't even think the happenings in this episode were that impactful but look at me tearing up anyway in the scene where hana was talking to tohru. i honestly love furuba so much it's a bit irrational lol |

Kisa1208 said: Can't blame ya for being suspicious over Akira, however, from what I could see, he seemed to very gentle and soft-spoken. The issue lays within Ren who seemed to be obsessed over Akira even after his death.TheOneOfSeven said: Karma will come to them, sooner or later. All I was thinking in that moment was just "Jesus, this whole family are screwed up" except the late father of Akito. I don’t know... I have thoughts on Akira, but I’ll save those for after the rest of Akito’s past is out. |

| this was a really great start. i have a feeling this season's gonna be the best out of the previous ones. |
 |
| Amazing first episode and they somehow made my feel bad for Akito lmfao. Not the biggest fan of the OP but maybe it will grow on me |
| Akito is so unstable, but I guess that's nothing new :/ but god, what a shock trying to kill your own mother o_o; Your mother is mean, you say? You're the mean one, Akito -_-; I need to know why they hate each other so much, though... The ED is gold! It's a wonderful idea using the characters looking like in the original manga <3 I wonder who's the baby Kisa is holding :3 So cute! Also, great start! |

 |
| I still hate Akito but Akito's mother is also a crazy bitch. Saki was the MVP in this episode. She goes and helps Tooru but also tells Tooru that Kureno and her have a lot in common in which they put others feelings before their own. Saki seriously was so good in this episode. I kinda wish they did a quick recap because I felt like I forgot something especially between Tooru and Arisa but I guess not. I thought the ending was amazing. I liked how they used Pictures from the Manga. Should be a great season! |

[*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| I didn’t check out the mal threads for the first two seasons, but since I’ve started doing it recently with seasonal shows, here I am for the final season. Can’t believe another year has gone by since season 2 began, but here we are, and picking up directly where we left off too. I loved the sleepover, the friendship between Tooru, Uotani and Saki is too great, really sweet stuff. OP and ED were nice as well, really good first episode. |
| I'm not ready!! T_T I'm so happy but so sad at the same time! I can't believe we are at the final season already! What a beautiful episode <3 |
| Am I the only one completely bewildered by the Kureno/Arisa relationship? He's almost 30 and she's in high school. If Arisa had been my friend in high school, I would've staged an intervention not stalked the guy to his house. Also, they've only met twice. I just can't. |
| I've said it before and I'll say it again. No amount of sad back story for Akito will ever redeem him/her/it. |
| Hanajima's so cool. xD her little bro is also great. Awwww Kyou-kun saved his girlfriend's scarf :3 @Leo It's a bit late sating this but, is there anyone in the Soma family that doesn't have a shitty relationship with each other? Not a lot...xD but yes, Hiro's parents love him a lot (esp his mom who loves sheep) and Kisa's parents really love her too. Kagura's parents also care for her. Hatsuharu's...I'm not sure...they don't talk about them much. @ryokoblue Arisa is also almost an adult (17), Kureno is 26 and girls crushing on older guys is really common in shoujo manga. I mean REALLY common. One of the main characters in Marmalade Boy ends up marrying her teacher (which I didn't like) but I support ArisaxKureno. They can legally date in one year and no, I don't call this "child-grooming" like SJW tumblerinas are infamous for it....>_> |

| I'm going to be a little bummed if that's just the end of Arisa and Kureno's story. Her (and probably Hana) are probably my favorite of the series' female characters. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| yall im wearing glasses and it's blurry because i'm crying during this episode like crazy. can't believe it's the final season |
| I am not ready this emotional roller coaster of a final season. The first episode starting off strong, glad to see the finale begin!  |
| The opening sequence is very nice. I can't like Akito even tho I know she suffered so much, she still is such an awful person |
| Oh my oh my oh my!! How much i've missed it! How long have i been waitiiing!! It is here! With an amazing OP that warms the heart (can't help but be a bit disappointed in the ED) Awesome feelings! Amazing flags! Perfect tohru/kyou moment at closure!! Even when i'm a manga reader i can't help but cry all over again!!! |
| I dont care what Akito went through. She is still the biggest bitch here... Kureno and Tohru is really similar and this ep helped me to notice it... Lastly in ED Kureno was holding Arisa so I'm guessing they will be together at some point :) I cant wait! |
| Excellent episode! The opening is superb with the "first person" views! The confrontation between Akito and his mother Ren is violent! On the other hand, poor Tōru who is upset! |
| You can tell the final season of Fruits Basket will be an emotional and dramatic one going by how this episode played out. The whole confrontation between Aktio and her mother, Ren, was violent, both physically and also from the venomous words both spat out at each other. Hanajima gets the MVP for me as she helped Tohru in her time of need after all the revelations Kureno told her earlier. Not only that, but also invited Uotani along and thus made for a heartwarming scene, even with Megumi's monotonous jokes making me laugh as well. =P The OP was pretty chill and had a good beat to it and I do like how the production team implemented the character with real-life backgrounds and settings as well. It doesn't always work well, but here, it works nicely. Not to forget, the ED was also good, but it was accompanied with the manga version of the characters all coloured in, which was a visual treat. I do look forward to seeing how the anime adapts the rest of the manga. ^_^ |
| Yay Fruits Basket is here with its final season~~ The episode was amazing and a bit emotional. The opening and ending visuals and the songs were so pretty^^ |
 |
| Watched the first two seasons not that long ago, the animation quality on the op is amazing - if only the anime looked like that -, but the episode's animation seems better than the first two seasons. |
| Yeah we're back again where we left. All those bittersweet memories are flowing back again. I really missed Tohru's smile and voice. Nobody is ever as sweet and caring as her. And the people around her cherish her for that too. Also the new OP and ED pretty much showed us what's about to come. OOH can't wait for it to happen soon, especially the ED visuals showed us what the endgame would be. All those pairings with overflowing happiness. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
eXtripa69 said: Is anyone else not receiving mail notifications about shows starting? This one was included as well I didn't get a notification for this show, but I got from 4 out of 6 that were released so far, the other one being Boku no Hero. |
| I forgot what an emotional rollercoaster furuba is. How the hell do you go from such a heavy part to something that wholesome and pull it off that well? For some reason I spoiled myself before the second season so I kinda knew about Akito being a girl/Ren's vileness already but to see it animated is... yikes! The apple doesn't fall that far from the tree it seems, and we've only had but a snippet of it by now! Saki is totally right about Tohru, she does tend to put others before her too much. As we've seen in the second season she does have her own demons which will hopefully be dealt with when the series has ended, but so far she hasn't even made an attempt at it yet. I really hope that Saki's words make her think about it. |
 |
| Love Furuba and missed it. I'm so excited for this season because I haven't read most of the manga. Maybe unpopular (?) opinion, but I've never really hated Akito even though she is a shithead. Didn't expect the twist with her being a girl as well. I thought Kureno was super gay in the last episode of the second season xD Didn't know Akito's VA voices Annerose, Ciel, Shinobu, and Major Kusanagi as well! |
 |
| Honestly I really loved both the opening and the ending for this season so much! It was honestly really beautiful and it's a perfect fit for the final season of it. This episode is also a perfect start to this season and it had a continuation of the last episode of the previous season. Overall this was a good start to the final season and this episode was definitely a 5/5. This season really looks promising so I'm really looking forward to it. |
 |
| So far, my concern with this is that the show is going to try and make Akito sympathetic by shifting the blame for how terrible she is onto her mother. Sorry, but that is not going to work no matter how many sob scenes this throws at me, not after everything Akito has done over the course of the series. Still, it was interesting to gain a little more context into Akito as a person as well as the hold she has over the other Zodiac members, even if it was slightly clunky of the show to present their argument and then have Kureno exposit about the very thing we just saw. Not the perfect start, but a respectable return for this show as it starts to head towards its conclusion. |
| Chuu chuu! Everyone back on the Furuba feels train! This season is gonna make Season 1 & 2 look like child's play with the emotional depth it's about it dragged us down to! We got just a hint this episode of Akito's wounds with the introduction of Ren Sohma and just like we realised a long time ago, Tohru has finally figured out that the Sohmas' pain and sadness is one big cycle that needs ending in order to be fixed. |
 |
| Damn what an ep on Kureno and why hes stuck with Akito. That was really good and I kinda teared up ngl. |
 |
| So good. The episode picked up literally right where the last one left off. Glad I rewatched the last ep of season 2 right before this. So excited for Fruits Basket and that this will actually wrap up the story. New OP is interesting. I loved both OPs from season 2 but I'm not sure if this one will grow on me. |
| okay let's continue! brace for more wonderful emotional drama events! some say its only 13 and not the usual 25 eps? 5/5. |
