| Total filler episode until the last 2 minutes. It seems that Izusu is being held captive at inner Souma residence? |
| What a wholesome episode. Never woulda imagined girl who leads the Yuki fan club would get such a good resolution. That's good shit. Additionally it's so wonderful to see Yuki acting as a support for Machi the same way Toru did for him. |
| Is it weird that I'm happy Machi's brother (Takei? Was it) got some closure by eavesdropping? He probably didn't have anything against her, but good to know the siblings are on "amiable" terms. His relieved smile was heart melting. I don't remember if I reached this point in the manga, but BOI. YUKI ALMOST SNATCHED MY HEART WITH THAT SUBTLE CHALK MOVE. Heavy breathing. That was so nice ;-; Never though I'd see him as a silent heartthrob (...or silent heart) type. I hope we see more of this Machi x Yuki dynamic. Kyo, the cat landing from high places. I'm so happy they did a reboot of this anime. This season especially, is paced just right. Seiyuus doing their magic |
| I knew there was a reason I loved Yuki so much in the OG series. Not that there weren't good reasons within the 2001 series! But damn... He's such a great character and wonderful person within the larger story. I have a real soft spot for super kind, gentlemanly characters, and I think it all started with Yuki. When he offers to help Machi ruin the perfection of the snow by making footprints together, and when he subtly breaks the chalk to comfort her... Man... He's just so sweet |
 |
Yuki using his charming powers on those other than Tohru. Just seeing Yuki break the chalk for Machi was we best small detail that I can remember from this season. And the way he is so accepting to Minagawa's feelings. What an amazing episode. |
| I thought only Somas are having shitty parents. |
 |
| gosh this season is blowing me away in so many ways, and damn rin cut her hair? I'm assuming its either to look more like akito but that's just a hunch |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

It's filler in that the stuff with Mhachi and the highschool students has nothing to do with the story about the Soumas. |
LilyGinnyBlack1 said: Thank you for explaining it fully for them.Valyrian1124 said: It's filler in that the stuff with Mhachi and the highschool students has nothing to do with the story about the Soumas. The Student Council is directly connected to Yuki, one of the main characters in Fruits Basket. The character interactions and relationships *are* the plot of Furuba. It's a character study series and heavily character driven. |

| even Minagawa have such a beautiful moment... I love this anime... so wholesome ah, and finally, the promise of walking together on the snow... I love Machi and Yuki so much!!! |
| It's nice to get a Yuki centric episode, especially with the first half not involving the Somas at all. I don't think I've ever popped off for a guy breaking chalk before. The last scene reminded me just how many characters there are... I completely forgot about Kagura for example. I hope the show finds a way to do them all justice. |
 |
| I know people ship Yuki & Machi,but that girl doesn't need a bf she needs a psychiatrist. |
| Damn I cried three at three different times during this episode. That was a roller-coaster of emotions. Yuki did it perfectly I suddenly just screamed his name during the whole segment in Machi's apartment. When he called her to walk over the snow made me feel so happy I just cried. Then he broke the chalk to make it imperfect, showing that he will be at her side. Couldn't stop smiling. Minagawa's confession was so beautiful and Nao's almost confession was just adorable. What happened in the end of the episode? That was Akito, right? Damn it doesn't sound any good. Another amazing episode, like always. |
| The time we shared has come and gone As quickly as the dawn <3 <3 <3 |

katie_potaty said: Machi & Yuki got the spotlight this week and it was bootiful! They have such a tentative but tender bond with each other and I just love the way Yuki shows that to her through the smallest actions, like breaking the chalk. I wonder if he'll ever realise that he's doing for her just what Tohru did for him? Yuki breaking the chalk so the box would not be perfect made me smile. It was such a simple gesture that meant nothing to anyone except Machi. I love how Yuki supports her and shows he cares, without making a scene or drawing attention to her. |

| machi focus on the first half, i loved that. traumatised by so now hates "perfection" she has the urge to always break that perfection, she gets anxious by that perfection, like the one where there was a box of chalk in the meeting, she got anxious and worried that she'll flip out again but yuki SMOOTHLY broke it. it was a small move but it eased her up. almost made me cry for some reason lmao, it just felt like i was in her situation and i wanted that, i wanted someone to do something like that for me, something so small and subtle but makes a big impact senior's graduation for the other half, i didnt really care about the girl who liked yuki's confession lmfao, only saw her as a weird stalker (who i know is used for comedy but it didnt land with me so i wasn't rly fond with it), same with the 1st grade studen council guy, he liked the girl because ...? she was pretty? lmao |
| Somehow this anime is healing my inner scars and covering them up, many things I"ve said that were improper and they fulfilled those wishes in the most satisfying way. I feel like i've gone one step further to moving forward. domo o.o |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Hey look, more scumbag parents! Yuki must protect Machiiii WTF that ending |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 I believe in freedom of expression. |
| Another great episode. I really like Yuki x Machi's progression, and Machi's family is fucked up like the Somas. Damn, it was really awesome when Yuki broke that chalk for Machi's sake. I really wanna see more of these two. Minagawa was really annoying when we first saw her, but she's not so unlikable now. And that was a pretty good moment, and I was not expecting Nao to have those feelings for Minagawa. At least Minagawa understood that Yuki would not see her as a potential partner and thus didn't even try to ask him out, but rather only expressed her feelings. |

be4 said: When Yuki broke that chalk, that was such a sweet gesture, it meant a lot to Machi ^^ Yep, the episode had some more noticeable Machi reactions, but I think that scene was really the most meaningful of them all, cuz it showed, he was there to support her when she needed it, that it wasn't all talk. Liked how they handled the graduation of the third year's. Months are coming and going fast though, like just a few episodes ago it was new year's eve. Is this due to them skipping or arranging stuff, or that manga just had this kind of pace to begin with? Probably the later. |
 |
| LOL LOOOVE KAKERU MANABE. Hilarious and HE IS SO IMPORTANT TO YUKI'S DEVELOPMENT. I wish there were more scenes with him....... TT_TT This season is obviously gonna be short. They are upping the pace. Nice that they are tryna fit in people like Motoko, Nao and Mit-chan, but I feel like they coulda just been CUT!!!!!! note: sorry to all those who like these characters. In all fairness, Mit-chan was always super funny in the manga with her constant suicide threats lol (nobody come for me, I know it's dark but it was used well to comedic effect, and I like dark humour). |
| Ok yeah I now ship Yuki and Machi My goodness, Machi's mother was dumb af Didn't expect we would have Motoko's pov in the graduation, but it was cool |
 |
| Hate that Machi had to go through that but I'm glad we got another episode with my sweet girl. I need more Machi-centric episodes. I have respect for the president of the Yuki fan club for being mature. Yes, she was petty in the beginning but she became more mature as time went by. I had no idea that Sakuragi had a crush on her though, that kind of made me wonder... why? LOL |
| 臭い- |
| Why the first half of the episode had nothing to do with the previous one? Why every character has the same backstory of bad parents?? Why the second half of the episode was focused on making drama of two characters that are mostly comedic relief??? This episode alone has everything I don't like of Fruits Basket. I kinda liked the ending of S2 and I was expecting a great start but so far the first 3 episodes have been so boring... |
 |
| I was always so curious about Machi's background story. Now, I can't help but ship her with Yuki! |
| It is laughable how unbelievable and unhuman Machi's family situation is. The second part was alright. Sigh. The starting 3 episodes of this season have been far weaker than the previous two seasons. 3/5 |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| And here is an episode that focuses on someone I care even LESS about than Akito. Why the fuck are we dealing with THIS over the top and pointless bullshit now? |
| bank account? don't you mean penis XD? |
 |
| The graduation ceremony brought back soo many memories 😥 So nostalgic! I still remember when I graduated from high shcool and cried like a baby 😭😭😭And boy what a nice and respectful graduation song! Really praises the teacher and their hard work! Japan u never disappoint me! 🙌🙌🙌 |
---- Life is nothing but goodbyes ---- |
| I can't beleive Machi's parents don't want their precious son to have a blanket, he must be freezing at night. I was initially bit skeptic on Yuki and Machi becoming a couple but I can totally vision it now. |
 |
| Who tf thinks that tucking a kid into bed at night is an attempted murder? When Machi's parents accused her, I could only snort in disbelief. Their paranoia literally makes no sense. At least make the scenario seem a bit more believable. A person can easily do something dangerous around a baby without realizing it. Like accidentally leaving some candy out that the kid chokes on, or forgetting to strap the little brother onto a diaper-changing table, allowing him to roll off and hurt himself. |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| Toudo, Kimi really is an interesting character to watch. Her anime-ish or her tone of how to talk is cutesy with her sadistic and frank personality. Machi!! A visit to Machi's house = still messy lmao An idiot and an airhead coming in = lucky perv scene lmao XD While Machi tried to kick them out, her blushing is phenomenal! I like it! (Edit: I love it!) We finally get to see Machi's background story and the real actions she took to care for her little brother but that effort was wasted because of her terrible parents. Ugh >_< I'm glad she's now okay because of Yuki's effort! Let us ship these two! Her half-big bro on the other hand is still doing nasty things, they should have kissed at that scene! That nasty ringtone of his! >.< Kimi tried to tease her later but Yuki helped her again! Yay! I didn't think this would happen but Motoko Minagawa finally confessed her real feelings to Yuki! This is unexpected and surreal! OwO Nao-chan didn't confess his real feelings though to Motoko but he gave a wonderful speech to her which is nice. What's nicer? Kagura at the end! I'm glad to see her well... |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| yuki and machi maybe the best couple here lol. the whole yuki club president felt unneeded lol. and it sucks to be parents in fruits basket.... |
| Omg... I jumped here after rewatching the S1.. and I'm lazy to rewatch the whole S2... now I dunno who is Machi lol and how come she and yuki are getting romantic in this episode.. I better rewatch S2 first and come back here. Yuki breaking the chalk was soo thoughtful and romantic... I cant... |
 |
| Yuki & Machi made me cry so hard. She’s so broken, Yuki might help heal her but at the end of the day he can’t fix her, she needs to overcome her issues. It’s so sad, when she was pacing around in the snow, Yuki figuring it out, her not wanting to clarify things or stand up for herself, Yuki breaking the chalk for her, and the last scene when she said it was the first time she had wanted yuki the snow, to come & stay, I lost it I was BAWLING throughout their scenes. Hit so close to home. They are really lucky to have each other♡ Kakeru & Yuki’s friendship always makes me smile. L O L @ him saying no guy can get an erection in her messy room lollll |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Oh god, FruBa's parents are so damn frustrating. How did getting tucked in bed equate to a murder attempt? Makes me enjoy the good ones even more. |
