| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Characters thinking about the future and potentials jobs makes this episode quite realistic. There's also more important flashbacks of Yuki as we see his younger self. And it's not a pleasant sight. Yuki's continuous images of his past still reminds him of what he must overcome. On the other hand, I still find Ayame's character role this season to be hilarious. |
 |
| I love Mayu and Shigure's exchanges they're like a married couple lol. Everybody's parents are warm and happy, then there's Yuki's mom. I'm glad Yuki has Aya supporting him, he finally had the push and courage to stand up to her. Yuki's starting to change little by little now. The drama is really good in this story. |
| Damn, this episode was so good, I really enjoyed it, might've been the one I enjoyed the most up until now. We got to have some laughs with Shigure, that scene was hilarious. Also we got to see more of Yuki's inner thoughts and relation development, good progress here as well. But honestly I'm kinda surprised to see Tohru-chan so sad, but I guess even the ones we don't expect have problems at times, it's also making me a little bit sad. |
 |
| Shigure is a complete troll in front of Mayu. They showed Tohru's lid not only there's Kyoko but also Kyo in there. Hana's crush on Kazuma is hilarious. Ayame to the rescue, thanks for coming to help Yuki. Yuki still has to face his fears but his improving by the episode. Thank goodness they didn't cut out Ayame meeting the student council and also Machi in the background backing away like nope I'm not going in there lol. |
 |
| Everything is this episode was so well done. The comedy and heartfelt scenes combine into each other perfectly with all the character development at the same time. Personally, this is one of my favorite episodes. |

| What an amazing episode. We get to see all the sides of our favorite characters and what they are dealing with post graduation and what they want to do with their lives/forced to do with their lives. One of my favorite episodes these season. |
| so far this is the best episode. from this season. Ayame &Yuki scene is the best, I love how Yuuki defended his brother. Kazuma is so handsome and I love the way he looks at Kyou. |
| I love Shigure's character. His exchange with Mayuko was just hilarious. We also got to see more of Ayame. Him being there for Yuki was nice. Warmed my heart a little. |
 |
| Poor Kazuma, he really has no hope of escaping now that the toxic wave girl has decided to make him her own (I'm joking, I think Hana is a great character and hope that she can find her happiness as Kyo's step-foster-mother.) I like how the comedic coldness of Tohru's parent -teacher conference prefigured the actual coldness of Yuki's parent-teacher conference (before Ayame saved the day.) Considering that honoring your parents is much more ingrained in Japanese culture than American, Ayame really demonstrated how much he cares for Yuki. I also loved the visual metaphor of how Tohru brought color into Yuki's life, while his real mother is trapped by the grey. Machi walking in on Ayame's invasion of the student council and deciding that she wanted nothing to do with it was the funniest scene of this episode. |
| Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day! |
| There's being an over-bearing mother and then there's Yuki's mom, who is a couple levels above that. Also, nice to see Hana-chan and Uo-chan. Feels like they haven't gotten much screen-time lately. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| this episode brought a new light onto the struggles each kid is facing in their school life. it was a rather realistic episode and reiterated the severity of kyo's situation while also showing that yuki isn't in a great spot either. can't wait until next week! |

| Ayame deserves the award for best bro lol. Also looks like Hanajima has now got her ship xdd |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| this one episode shifted my score to an 8 to a 9 wow i loved this ep sm. the start was funny with mayu and shigure at the conference meeting and tohru talk about the icy/diamon air lmao seeing yuki especially this season always saddens me. i'm really glad that ayame was able to come through and be there for yuki. he's ready to admit to his mistakes and start anew with yuki and i'm so glad yuki accepts this. ayame standing up to his mother in such a ayame-style is hilarious and mayu witnessing the whole thing. the part after the ed and ayame being the commander was so funny. machi slowly backing away awsh |
| Wow, mom... that's cold saying to your child he shouldn't have been born :( Great episode! Yuki couldn't have asked for a better brother X3 |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| This episode was so good, one of my favorites from Fruits Basket up to this point. I really feel for Yuki because his mom and everyone else was straight assholes to him when he was younger. All of the conferences were realistic and I liked the comedy in this episode as usual. Yuki's brother definitely came in for the save so he didn't have to deal with his mom alone. Yuki also confronted his mom about how he was the one that was gonna make his own choices and not her. |

| And here we have chapters 71-72. They changed very little from the manga and it was a good adaptation. I'm a little sad they excluded that Rin asked Shigure why Tooru was injured on the cheek. She did see her with the adhesive bandage thingie on her cheek in episode 11 when she went to Kazuma's. Anyway, we get more insight into Yuki's troubled past and his stupid mother. Ayame to the rescue though. And Tooru will "do her best to meddle/interfere" with Akito. <3 We get to see the box with the lid inside Tooru with the feelings/memories she surpresses. Horriblesubs had some misstranslations again. At 13:31 "Yuki is expected to be a leader of the Soma family in the future." It should be: "Yuki has been promised a position in the upper ranks of the Souma clan in the future." At 14:08 "You're saying something very illogical to your child right now." It should be: "Right now, you're striking your child in an absurdly harsh manner." Also, I'm glad they included the funny part with Ayame and the student council at the end of the episode. The part that Hana-chan likes Kazuma and Kyou's reaction to that was funnier in the manga IMO. Next episode we finally meet again Prepare the tissues guys. |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| This episode was superb. The parent & teacher conference was really well done in the manga, so I'm glad that the anime version did a great job in adapting it. =D We had a big contrast in these meetings, too. We saw how comedic Tohru's meeting went when Shigure came along, which made Mayuko constantly agitated. However, nothing compared to how toxic and cold Yuki's meeting went when his mother arrived. His mother is the epitome of everything a mother should NEVER be. She only hears what she wants to hear, so Yuki's words always seem to fall on deaf ears, never to reach her at all and the meeting went that way for a while, which left Yuki unable to speak up at all and Mayuko becoming more displeased with Yuki's mother and her constant criticism of Yuki. Thankfully, Ayame made his grand entrance and put his mother in her place. It was a powerful statement for Ayame to make, when seeing the way his mother keeps reacting to Yuki is the was he used to act to Yuki before, so seeing him coming to help Yuki in his time of need was brilliant. It gave Yuki the courage to catch up to his mother after she stormed off and was able to say what he wanted, so that she can finally hear what he wanted to say. This whole scene was very good, and it got better when after his mother left, Tohru arrived and the rays of sunlight arrived with her, too, so the whole scene became full of life and happiness. Artistically speaking, the transformation of the colour palette when Tohru arrived was a masterstroke, so good job, production team. ^_^ To round off this episode, we got a funny post-credit scene with Ayame becoming the centre of attention in the student council room, much to Yuki's annoyance. Another funny bit was Machi appeared behind the door, saw what was happening, and then she simply nope'd the hell out. XD |
| Too. Much. Feels! There was so much to process in this episode and it's actually a part that I couldn't wait to be animated. First there's Tohru, who's slowly losing the battle to keep her more negative feelings locked away. Then there's Kyo who has come face to face this epsiode with the time limit he has in the form of talking about the future at the conference. And then Yuki... my sweet Yuki. He is faced with one of the biggest pains from his childhood; his mother's uncaring and unfeeling relationship towards him. I'm so happy that Ayame was there to stand beside him this time and I'm glad the brother's are fixing their fragile bond. |
 |
| And here I thought that Akito was the only despicable character here that I would hate, it seems I was wrong. Yuki's "mother" is one of the most disgusting "mothers" I've seen in any anime media, holy shit, poor Yuki ;_;, watching him remembering all those gloomy memories were heartwrenching. Ayame brought the light to Yuki's eyes again in that scene, he's the real man. The color palette when Yuki saw Tohru right at the end was gorgeous as fuck. I really love this anime <3. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| This was too short... |
| Shigure is one of the most dynamic and realistic character I have ever seen. At first glance he is seen as somebody kind and welcoming, but as you get to know him you see he is quite selfish and whatever he does to help tohru (or anybody in general) is done only with the intent that it benefits him in some way. However, this is fruit basket and all the characters have their traumatic backstories and the sohmas are... the sohmas. Watching the op you see shigure with a gentle, calm face and small, sad smile. I haven't read the manga but I do hope that we get some sort of backstory for him and get to see who he truly is... This was one of my favorite episodes so far :)) A lot was put into this episode but it felt really well paced and you could see all the effort put into it. Cant wait for the next one!! |
 |
| Probably one of the best episode in the whole show, I really like the interactions between Yuki and his brother |
| Parent-teacher meetings. If there's anything to fear, it's the future of the Somas, with Akito as the One above all being every step of the way. Meanwhile for Tohru, Saki and Uotani, it's as typical to be expected. LOLOL Shigure, that full makeover facade between him and Mayuko-sensei though. An icy cold battle indeed, and all the hilarity. Really surprised to find Saki and Uotani being very perceptive of Shigure though, even though Tohru has known the whole package. For Kyo and his master-cum-"dad", he still wants the best for him, and ensuring his future isn't a bleak one. OOH that crush though of Saki's. It's business as usual for Yuki, Akito's one BIG problem, but his own mother may be an EVEN BIGGER problem. How in the heck is that of a mother, just fulfilling whims and such, treating your own children like tools. Brother Ayame to the rescue with a "grand" entrance, and it's quite the spectacle, bringing Yuki out of the depths of hell. In the end, Yuki managing to voice his opinions towards his mom, with her deafening stare, is another sign of moving forward. What a confrontation. Need I say that this is another great episode. |

| Chapters 71 and 72 were adapted for this episode covering the parent-teacher conferences of Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo. Some scenes and lines of dialogue were removed at points in this episode, as well as some changes for key scenes. Here were changes I noticed within this episode: -The beginning of Yuki and Mayuko’s conversation got removed from the anime, where the latter was informing Yuki that his mother wanted to schedule their conference to a later time. -A couple small bits of Yuki and Tohru’s conversation were removed for the anime, notably Tohru recalling mention of Yuki’s mother and some schoolgirls asking if Yuki would be going to college after graduating. -Unlike the anime, Shigure’s hair was combed straight instead of being disheveled in the manga while at Tohru’s conference. -While talking about what she wanted to do for her future, a bit where Tohru was thinking about Kyo’s future got removed from the anime. -After leaving the classroom, there is a removed scene where Tohru is shocked to learn that Shigure knew of Mayuko being single and then starts wondering about her teacher’s words. -While Shigure recalls a meeting he had with Isuzu, there is a removed bit of the scene where Isuzu commented on the injury to Tohru’s cheek she got from Akito. -A dinner scene with Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki was removed from the anime. Here, Tohru was still stunned with the tension between Shigure and Mayuko at her conference and talked with Yuki and Kyo about their upcoming conferences. Shigure would arrive later in the scene, where he commented that Hatori wanted him to burn the dress suit that he loaned Shigure. -Tohru’s conversation with Saki and Arisa regarding her conference originally took place while she was cleaning around the school instead of outside it. -When Yuki walked out to see his mother for his teacher conference, he carried no umbrella with him in the manga. Plus, the anime skipped over a scene where gossiping female students are curious to know which of Yuki’s parents are coming to the conference and what they look like. -A few lines of dialogue are removed from the scene where the student council meet Ayame. This includes Kimi asking if Ayame’s single and Naohito further complaining about Ayame’s presence. |
| Another great episode! This coudn't have been any better! The little moments of Yuki and Ayame are always the best! Mayu and Shigure act as if they're a married couple is just hilarious! |
 |
| Shigure sometimes says the most outrageous things and it makes you think -- what is his rationale behind the words he says. |
 |
| Wow I have no words, this was my favorite episode by far and further solidified my decision to potentially put this on my top 10 favorite anime. Everything was perfect, down to the comedy, character interactions, Yuki's character development, and the peak of Ayame's grand entrance. He was the true MVP and I couldn't stop grinning when he appeared. 5/5 for sure! |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Diamond Dust. Aw, Tohru x'D caught up amidst that horrible snowstorm lmfao Kyo loves Tohru so muchhhhhh, it hurts ;~; Ayame to the rescue! He's so wonderful :') truly a breath of fresh and regal air <3 I love how he just threw their mom into a frenzy and told her off >:) as he should, hmph. Mayu and Hatori phone call TT^TT sad to see my mans stolen from me, but happy for them ;A; |
| This episode was lit af, what a roller coaster of emotions this was. Started really dark but then boom just with Ayame's appearance the mood cleared so much haha, he really is a legend. Also wow Yuki's mom looks hot for someone with two childs. |
 |
| Oh boy, next episode is going to be hard to watch. |
| Even though I don't care about Mayu's love life with Hatori, I do love her as a teacher. I salute her and she's a badass teacher. I thought she was about to go Gokusen on Yuki's mom's ass for saying she regret giving birth to her sons. This episode was so touching. This Yuki growth arc is like water on a hot day and I'm gulping it all down! More character growth for him and other characters please! Also, I loved Ayame in this episode. This is probably my favorite episode with him in it. |
| 臭い- |
| This was the finest episode yet of the second season thus far for me. I wish it went on even longer as an hour long episode or two-parter, getting to see even more extended sequences of the respective conferences; especially Shigure's conference on Tohru's behalf I wish went on longer. The final shot of Yuki taking a stand and panning to see Tohru center stage in the school hallway after she was the figurative central plank and inspiration behind his newfound resolve was masterful. I have disliked his ice prince demeanor and seeming arrogance up until as recently as the past few episodes, but now I've quickly realized however I feel about him in the end, there's at least a lot more layers to his character, which I should've assumed. The difference between watching week to week versus watching an entire series and then giving your opinion. Episodes like this just reinforce that in many ways I wish I hadn't started watching the Fruits Basket reboot in 2019 and just waited until the entire series was over so I could watch much larger batches of episodes back to back, but I'm in it too deep now to stop midway. |

| Great episode. Hana falling for Shishio was a surprise. A long with Both Tohru and Uotani's faces lol. Kyo still undecided on what he wants to do. But at least he wants to be by Tohru's side as much as possible. I love Kyo and Uotani's back-and-fourths. Almost as if they are brother and sister. It's really entertaining to watch. Man I really wish we knew more about how Garbage Akito is and why Yuki's mother is like that. I mean we know the Soma family is messed up but I do not think we even scratched the surface yet. Ayame was the MVP of this episode. So good! Yuki being pulled away by the Student Council show's where Yuki belongs right now. It was nice to see the Ribbon return as well. That after Credits scene was amazing LOL. |

| Loved Saki's consultation. She made it sound so dramatic but it was just "graduate" lol and her mother was completely on board with it. Such low standards lol The surface friendliness yet inner coldness of Mayu's and Shigure's meeting was hilarious, with Tohru being the innocent passerby. Saki's crush on Kazuma was hilarious! Imagining Saki as Kyo's mom is an interesting notion to say the least... Aww at Kyo's thoughts of wanting to be with Tohru as long as possible. Watching how Yuki's mother treating him was horrible. She truly doesn't care about her children, and care only about her own power. Her words against Mayu were also unnecessarily rude, calling their school obscure and then saying that since she's single she wouldn't understand. I was really joyed when Aya suddenly appeared. His chaos and energy are something that even Yuki's mom can't handle lol and it was really great to see someone in his family that really, truly cared about him. Aya can be sharp against his mother too. As he let out everything he had on his mind to his mother, his mother left. As his mother left, Tohru came. That was such a beautiful scene. This episode combined a lot of beautiful, heartwarming moments with superb and hilarious comedy, something this show seems to excel at. Loved it so much! |
 |
| Beautiful ep I love whenever show focus more on Kyo Yuki and Tohru's development this was perfect ep Also Shigure is the best troller and Ayame is best big brother 😍 |
