| U know what I think this girl would still love Yuki if she learned about the zodiac curse. I kinda felt pity for her. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| And so it restarts. This was a very low-key episode, but I liked the new OP and ED, and Yuki met those two who might very well become important to the story. Welp, I'm glad to have Fruits Basket back, and I'm already excited, if a bit scared, about what's to come. |
 |
| I love this series. TMS Entertainment did a great job with the start of S2 picking up right where they left off with S1. |
| Machi my love, i can finally see you. I always likes Motoko's character. I definitely related to her feelings in the past lol. I love that the author puts a positive spin to it. Kakeru Is even funnier animated |
 |
| How I missed this show <3 Great episode! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Finally! I love this anime |
 |
| Great first episode :D The OP is amazing!!! |
 |
| Finally it's back! |
 |
| Takaya's humor has always been a hit or miss for me, and Kakeru's introduction feels pretty stale with the whole sentai background. Motoko is kinda fine, but I quite prefer her as a background joke character than trying to make her look like a character with noble motivations on just selfish ambition. Quite a weak start on my book for this season 2. |
| so happy this is back music is still top tier ,but this couldn't have felt less like a opening to a new season than it did, at first i wasn't even sure if it was a new season because i thought this yuki stan arc was already over lol. seems like there's way more to the council members so looking forward to that This is the year of Yuki so good timing on this coming back so soon |
 |
| Furuba is finally back!! so good to see Kakeru and Machi! |
| I love the OP song but the visuals kinda meh but it still fine On how annoying Motoko was i still ship her to Yuki lol |
| B O C C H I S W E E P |
| Finally, Fruits Basket is back! Liked the recap with Tohru's narration. I was a bit surprised that the focus for most of this episode was Motoko and her feelings, but she's not as rotten to the core as I initially thought. At least she can now admit that it was due to Tohru that Yuki can now smile like that. So excited to watch this! |

| Been a while, but guess I'll be back to comparing differences between the manga and anime for Fruits Basket. This first episode for the "second season" adapts Chapters 42 and 49 from the manga. This does result in scenes between the two chapters being shuffled together to fit the narrative for this episode and adjusts the time frame for both as each chapter took place at different points of time (Chapter 42 during the first trimester of Tohru's second school year, Chapter 49 during summer break). Here are differences I noticed within this episode: -Motoko’s thoughts for her admiration of Yuki were originally a narration in the manga. Her viewing of Yuki from a window and venting over Tohru’s presence in his life as she arrives outside to greet Yuki were added for the anime. -Tohru’s narration commenting on her current developments with the Sohma family was added for the anime. -Originally when Kyo was rebuking Shigure for his remarks on summer break, he was shown clipping his toenails in the manga instead of eating a meal. Also, the clothes he is wearing are simplified in their design for the anime. -In the same said scene for the manga, Tohru is wearing casual clothes instead of her school uniform as Chapter 49’s events originally had Yuki being the only one in the household going to school due to his student council duties. -Before Yuki leaves for school, there’s a scene removed from the anime where Tohru asks Yuki if he had a chance to meet with the new members of the student council yet and Yuki remarked he had yet to do so. Yuki promised he would be home by dinner time. -Shigure had some additional dialogue added for the anime when he teases Kyo and Tohru on them possibly getting more romantic with their relationship. A line of dialogue Tohru had responding to Kyo and Shigure’s exchange was removed for the anime. -There is a removed scene showing Yuki being greeted by some female students at the school entrance. -A dialogue exchange between Takei’s assistants regarding the motives of the Yuki Fan Club got removed from the anime. -The anime added some additional visual content to Motoko’s thoughts regarding a female council member possibly being attracted to Yuki. -In the scene with the Yuki Fan Club venting over Takei, there’s a removed scene showing the girls wondering who will be the next club president after Motoko graduates. -Instead of the trio of delinquent girls running by Motoko to see Arisa, the Yuki Fan Club noticed the three were already crowding around Arisa and Tohru in the manga. As covered from their last appearance in the anime, only one of the girls developed admiration for Arisa in the manga. The other two had crushes on Yuki (who is not with Arisa and Tohru in the anime) and had approached him in the manga instead of Arisa. -The mess caused by Machi in the counseling room was expanded some for the anime. Also, Yuki’s thoughts of his meeting with her and Kakeru were removed for the anime. -The scene with Takei and Yuki chatting over Machi and Kakeru being student council members was shortened for the anime, notably removing Yuki wondering about Machi’s habits. -Before running into Yuki, Motoko and Aida originally planned to try finding blueprints of the school premises in the manga instead of picking the lock to the student council room. This does lead to some differences in some of the conversation that Yuki has with the two girls between the anime and manga. -When Yuki and Motoko have their conversation in the hallway, Aida appeared near the end of it in the manga and gets befuddled over what went on in their exchange. -While washing dishes with Tohru, Yuki was in his Chinese-style casual clothes instead of his school uniform in the manga. -The montage of shots showing Sohma family members and Motoko during Yuki and Tohru’s conversation were added for the anime. |
| The Yuki admirers are just annoying... At least the new student council members look enjoyable enough. |
 |
| Part of me wants to ship Motoko and Yuki, but based on some of these borderline spoiler-y comments about Yuki's "fan club" here, it sounds like I shouldn't even bother. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| Fantastic start to the second season. I can tell this is going to be one of the highlights of this year. |
 |
| The rollercoaster of emotion begins once again. |

| Now I've seen it all. If this anime gets a new season, then I'm expecting a 2nd season for Ouran High School any day now. XD |
| So happy this is back! <3 First episode was lovely and I'm liking the new opening. |
| The first episode started ok, I was never a fan of the Yuki fan club. [ they are kind of annoying ] I am surprise they began this season with them [ I didn't like that ep in the old fruits basket either] The new scenes with the new characters were fine. I am happy fruits basket is back. Looking forward to the next ep :) |
| Well It was a bit wierd to start off the season with these chapters (42,49) I'm really happy we finally saw machi and kakeru animated and I seriously can't wait to see their interactions with yuki and their future developments I'm also glad we got over the fan club girls chapter. I actually contrary to a lot of people do like mokoto and find the fan club moments funny but they still remain easily the least interesting part of the story. I liked the new op and the ending was great I loved it!! I also really liked the ost within the episode. From the title of the next episode I guess we will have chapter 46 next and I can't wait for next week!!!!! |
| YES, FINALLY THE WAIT IS OVER AND IT'S BACK 😭😭 OP and Ed are awesome and beautiful visuals First episode was nice and good focus on Yuki's development Now my Mondays will be amazing 😍😍 |
 |
| An amazing episode, i'm so glad to have this series back and i'm hoping for 24 episodes! |
 |
| AAAAAAA finally! So glad it's back! A question for the manga readers, will the pace finally pick up in these next arcs? Regarding the 'curse' and the romance aspect? |
 They all feel the same adjust to the pain..like tears in the rain.. |
| Motoko low key do be giving Asuka vibes tho. |
 |
| A good first episode. Kakeru and Machi both seem pretty interesting, looking forward to learning more about them. |
| After a long wait, finally we have the second season!. So... Basically I am curious about how many this season will adapt and if a third season will arrive. Only with time we know. What I was waiting is the debut of Isuzu and Kureno in anime version |
| Already liking the student council members especially Machi. I hope we get to see more of her. Good episode and nice start to S2. The focus on the Yuki admirers was kinda unexpected but pretty good nonetheless. Looking forward to more. |
 |
| Another great episode! Man, I love Kakeru xD I also like when Alpha Bitch stereotypes actually have depth. The ED is eyecandy. SPARKLES!!! SPARKLES EVERYWHERE. The OP is summery and makes me long for the beach. :[ I hope I get to go this year for once ;w; |
  |
| I'm so happy this reboot exists (justice for the manga)! Can't wait for the couples' developments <3 I'm in love with the OP & ED, so soul-soothing! |

| |
| Love the op and the ending op, sounds really nice. Nice quick summary in the beginning. Good ep overall. |
 |
IAintAllBad said: AAAAAAA finally! So glad it's back! A question for the manga readers, will the pace finally pick up in these next arcs? Regarding the 'curse' and the romance aspect? Minimizing spoilers, the middle volumes of the manga series are looking likely to be adapted. The last member of the cursed Sohma should be getting introduced at some point in this season and yes, there will be further developments on romance and Tohru's past connections to Kyo and Yuki foreshadowed from the prior season. |
| Manabe will either be my favorite or least favorite character of this season, I guarantee it. |
 |
| Hope to see more of Tooru this season too. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Can we please, please get rid of this ridiculous fan club? Their shtick got tiresome early in the first season, let alone now. And how much of a mess is the school if the best the Student Council can get is Manabe and Kuragi? Still, Manabe seems an interesting character and I'm kinda curious about what he and Kuragi were trying to find in the room. Not a bad start overall. |
| Didn't enjoy the opening like rest of users, and episode was kinda meh for me, need More TOHRU. Ed is Good. |
