Awww Kisa is so kawaii <3
I think tohru understand the people that is rejected because they feel lonely and well since Tohru doesn't have parents she feel lonely sometimes.
Every character in this series seem to have a sad story T_T

Kisa was like... super kawaii.

I could really empathize with her story, so it was really heartwarming each time she got at least a little bit better. :3

It is a bit much that Tohru seems to sense what all these characters are feeling, considering that she has never had the experience of being rejected herself.


You sure? Sure seem to me that she was being rejected by her classmates in the 'Rice Ball' episode (ep 5). She just was able to deal with it better than Kisa.

I thought it was a cute episode. Pretty much every episode of Fruits Basket is cute, though. On Wikipedia it says Kisa has autism. Is this true or is someone just writing random things on Wikipedia?

I thought she might have autism too from the last episode preview. But after seeing the episode I think it's safe to say she does not have autism. While people with autism generally have problems with speaking and socializing, those symptoms are usually present from a very early age. Kisa didn't have problems speaking when she was younger and stopped talking because she was being bullied. I see how this could be confusing seeing as people usually don't have much knowledge about autism.

the balance between the voice acting and the "background" music is very off. The music is way too loud I sometimes have to rewind and turn the volume up to ridiculous levels just to hear them.


I like Kisa, she's an innocent kid that's been bullied so how can I not, but honestly...this episode was a snooze fest.

Yo, mah nigga, that little girl was freaking cute. Getting bullied for being cute? Fucking kids, man. They nitpick on the most stupid things.

For being an airhead, Toru sure know how to make some well crafted speeches. Whenever I want to say something cool, it always come out in the stupidest way possible.

The curse has really caused great problems for the Sohma's, this series could've easily just played it for laughs and the transformations as just a gag gimmick and I'm happy It didn't go that way.

I hope the mom at least has a conference with the teacher to see if something can be done to prevent the bullying.

This is definitely my favourite episode. The whole story with Kisa was so touching and I loved some of the things Yuki said. Very inspirational!

This one makes me cry more than Momiji's lol. The scene where she transforms back into herself and rubs Tohru's hand to say sorry the only way she can at the moment, and those little sad twinkles, oh gosh.

I'm starting to really like Hatsuharu and dislike Kyo. Kyo bossed Tohru around because he was hungry and she even apologised... this makes me see red. First I liked Kyo because he is a cat but his behaviour is really insufferable and not improving over such a long time.
