Yuki needs Tohru. She's his savior.

Tohru and Kyo need each other. And that's the difference.

Rin really is an unpleasant girl hahah. I liked the hot and steamy kiss between her and Haru tho :P why can't she be more soft? lulz X) maybe in the future :P

Rin and Haru are probably one of the most passionate couples in Fruba. I just love their chemistry.

We finally saw Katsuya and Tohru's thoughts about him for the first time in the anime aside from few glimpses there and there.

Haru's personality parallels with Tohru's in some ways, they are kind to people in the same way. He is like a guardian angel to Yuki.

New op/ed gave off a nostalgic feeling but I prefer the previous op/ed.

Wow Haru kissed Rin, that was kind of hot.

Tohru x Kyo moment was sweet, the headpat specially.

I really enjoyed this episode. It feels like the little things, but I think the art improved a ton to match the characters (although a few scenes were a bit weird). Like Yuki with the big mice eyes in the beginning, or Tohru drawn a little bit sharper. (I can't quite describe it, but she looks like a little...less annoying? Or naive? And a bit more...aware...and mature? I'm not sure if I'm imagining the character development here or). Choked several times on my own spit; twice for Haru just doing his Haru thing, also like Tohru said, Kyo descending like he fell from heaven when she collapsed on the floor. I don't remember shipping Rin x Haru (but it seems whether it's Free or this--- main otp). This is definitely darker then the older adaption, and even a little more then the manga. I really enjoyed it. Best episode of all the series so far although it was a bit slow in content. Everyone's trucking along with their own complicated emotions.

Ending was very nice too

Can I just say how Haru was... so hot in this episode. He sometimes seem so, hmm... like he has a mind of a child, but he really is mature guy.
I like his relationship with Yuki. They can trust each other, can tell what's on their mind, understand each other feelings and always support each other. Great that in this creazy family they have someone like that.

Kyo grows up so fast. He is so tall.

I'm relieved that when they were talking about "omg, you want to be tall like Uotani? If she has 182 cm then...". I was waiting what he has too say, because I HAVE 182 cm and I know Japanese aren't tall and probably don't like tall girls much, so I was expecting something not really nice. But they just said that she could become a model and, as Tohru said, "it would be so cool".
Phew.

I just realized how I missed this anime. And I don't want it to end..

New OP and ED, I loved the visuals of both of them but the ED music was a lot better.

Another episode filled with impact emotions of all of our characters, all of them are struggling with something and have that burden they have to carry,
I don't know if the remaining episodes gonna be enough to make all of them happy but if I can see Kyo and Yuki and Tohru happy I will be satisfied.

New op wasnt quite as good as the last imo. Ed was great tho.

Rin seems like such a complected character, cant wait to find out more with what is up with her.

Shigure is as vague as always, cant wait to find out what he is planning also.

And again somehow fruits baskets manages to make the tears flow, it wasnt even all that sad of a moment during the end scene but the execution was great. Loving everything about fruits basket atm.

Question for manga readers. Will there be another season after this or will this season wrap everything up.

I definitely perfer this OP to previous on, though I'm not quite sure on the ED yet.

We need to get into Tohru's shit, though I assume that's endgame shit.

Is it bad that the first thought I had at the image of her father was, "That looks like a Soma?"

Fruit basket is one of those anime that push you to tears so easily. I thought that Kisa or Momiji maybe Yuki had the most tragedy childhood but I think Rin had that unfortunate honor

omg the new OP & ED visuals are great - damn the ED is BEAUTIFUL!

haru my best boy......and wow he looked great this episode. even in that ED



i cried when tohru's grandfather was saying how he wanted to see her parents just one more time....even if they were ghosts/spirits, he just wanted to see them once more.... so sad... :'(

and kyo just appearing there when she was so upset. uwu......fruits basket never fails to make me feel so emotional

i wonder what's the back story with rin, more please! so many questions. more rin means more haru i guess x)







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

Kinda ok episode, I was surprised by the unexpected kiss between Haru and Rin. But for me
the saddest part was Tohru suffering!

Is Rin sleeping with Shigure? I want to know what's going on there lmao. pd: I don't like the new opening! First was better!

People say that Tohru is basic, weak, boring but she is everything but that! From this episode you really get to see how the loss of both her parents compounded together into her current personality. It's so realistic too. It is so common for trauma survivors to turn into people pleasers because they fear abandonment to such a degree. I love watching this now as an adult because it connects so many things for me that I never truly understood as a child.

Fruits basket is a masterpiece.

The OST of this series is ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Really love the ED!
I admire Haru. Although he's struggling with his own issues, he's still kept thinking about Yuki. And Haru is the reason why Yuki's staying with Shigure?

Rin has a temper, I can understand why some may find her and all her drama irritating, personally, I'm super interested in how her relathionship with Haru will develop from now on.

Also, Haru = Chad.

I like how they slowly are introducing Rin before actually giving her a lot of focus, and I guess Haru really knows her because he was ever so easily able to slip past that defense she was putting... cute.

Feel bad for Tohru, the pieces are coming together, poor girl, glad Kyou was there for her.

New OP isn't bad, but what I really enjoy is the new ED which has such beautiful art~~

This episode should be entitled "Drama". So much drama going on and complicated relationships everywhere. Shigure again messing with everyone's head, jesus.

I thought Haru was cool and wise for his age, and this episode proved it once again. I can't tell who's the best boy here, him or Kyo.

how is haru so mature for his age!? if I'm not wrong I think Rin is also trying to break the curse. when she ran into tooru when visiting kazume, he said that tooru was there for the same reason Rin came to him. we all know why tooru visited him. so yeah that's my guess. It would also explain why she's visiting Shigure, to get something out of him.

i really liked the ED with everyone in traditional clothes. who do you think is the best boi - haru or kyo ?
