| with all the love in the air, we sure are getting bits of sadness too. Kyo was damn smooth this episode. And wow Mach just grabbed Yuki's heart in one fell swoop by understanding his character. Hope to see these two ships set sail soon enough. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Yuki cried ;^; It was hard to watch our prince cry while expressing his feelings and... Machi doesn't see Yuki as a prince? That surprised me, but maybe it's a sign. A good sign... maybe X) I mean, it somehow changed his heart, right?? More Kyo x Tohru moments. Can't get enough of it <3 Love it! Great episode! I knew the role of evil stepsister wasn't made for our Tohru XD The's too kindhearted by nature to be played as evil. I'm glad the classmate changed the roles for the sake of the theatre to be successful ^^ |

| I have a feeling that the tension between Kyo and Yuki will escalate soon. I hope they can finally come to terms with eachother but I doubt that will be something we see until the end of the series. Also, did Mine seriously hold up a paper that said Ii ne? XD |
 |
| See the whole problem with Yuki and Kyou is that they are BOTH really broken and neither one knows what the other has gone through. Akito poisoned both boys against each other. They NEED to sit down and share their life story with each other...but both of them have too much pride to do that and neither wants to listen to what the other says anyway The fact that Yuki was able to finally do that with Kakeru speaks volumes about his character growth though. This would have been unthinkable for him a year ago. |
  |
| Yeah, that casting for the play was never going to work out and the change should make things much more interesting anyway. Big confrontation between Yuki and Kyo as well, but not quite the same as normal. Seems we're going to end this season with some romantic progression one way or another, with the curse stuff presumably coming back in full force for season 3. |
| @-Mae- thanks for the compliment. ^^ I appreciate Yuki a whole lot more than I used to. As a kid, I only cared about shipping during Furuba's original days but now I care about everything. :D |
|
| oh man that last scene Kyou x Tohru loved it! 5/5. |
 |
Jocus_ said: No one in this story has bad intentions or are ignorant it is just they are suppressed in many different ways. They all are approaching life and relationships wrong but they all are justified in their actions. That is the whole plot of Fruit's Basket. Understanding relationships and others. You. You put that masterfully. Well done. This is the beauty of Fruits Basket. <3 |
| Tohru is certainly motherly. The way Yuki put it about how when Tohru ran after Kyo, she seemed mature, womanly, motherly, was something that didn't occur to me. She did seem a different kind of person at that time. Tohru's acceptance and kindness I guess is close to what to a lot of people is an ideal mother. As for ships, I guess this basically confirms that Yuki x Tohru isn't the one sailing. Even when given the choice to see things the way that Yuki x Tohru would be, he denies it himself saying that it felt wrong. But I find the bond Yuki and Tohru share to be really special and amazing too. |
 |
| inhales K Y O, KYAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa. passes out |
| If she's like a mother then I got bad news for you. Jokes aside, another immensely enjoyable episode. From Yuki's POV to Tohru being adorably stupid. Gotcha>_</5 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Why can't Tohru be Cinderella instead. I think that role is much compatible with her personality! |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Holy shit he's still standing around talking about his FEELINGS to the tune of oscar bait music! I miss when this show actually had a story to tell. Just get back to the Arisa x Kurenai, Momiji's family, and Akito plots! |
| Tohru becoming an evil sister isn't like her but it's funny seeing her try. Kyo finally accepts and takes the role of the Prince. It makes me sad seeing Yuki fighting his demons alone. |
 |
| I never finished the manga but I hope Kyo and Yuki start to form a better relationship. Yuki is trying so hard and Kyo is just not having it. I love both of them but I think we all want their feud to end. When I did read the manga I was a huge Yuki x Tohru fan but once I started the anime I shifted to Kyo x Tohru. Glad to see that's most likely our outcome based off this episode. :) |
 |
| I feel like the last few episodes have genuinely been art in the most real sense of the word. I've been enraptured from start to finish- and as someone who has been beginning, its felt not like separate episodes, but one continuous story in a way I don't know if I've ever seen before. Also, as someone who was rooting for Yuki... GGs. |
 |
| Kyo pisses me off, he's always acting like he's the only one suffering and takes it out on poor Yuki, typical selfish tsundere. Jocus_ said: I see it as a pathetic attempt to solve the love triangle after baiting - like is there even a love triangle where tsundere doesn't win -_- Cause in this episode one of the ships was NOT blown of water but rather was slowly dismantled piece by piece so smoothly that even Yuki supporters would also say, "I guess it was justified" and believe me it was. But I have read spoilers and know who Yuki ends up with and I find her to be way more attractive as a character than your typical goody-two-shoes cat obsessed Tohru so I've got something to look forward to. |
 |
| These two unfortunate kids, Kyo tells him that he doesn't know anything which is true, but he is wrong about the other part of being loved and lived like a prince. I actually thought they gonna open up and throw their cards on the table but I guess it's gonna happen later and not soon maybe for the finale. Let's not forget about Nabe being such a good friend for Yuuki a true legend. |
| kakeru is best boy 2.0 wasn't what kyo said a plot device for this episode - right after that prince/peachy perfect remark it was machi's scene & her remark of how he is not like a prince. how well-written....  i love you kyo but damn, please, yuki is hurting as much as you are |
 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 |
| .... wow, that Kyo x Tohru scene at the end was breathtaking. My heart actually skipped severals beats, as if I was really the one in love. This show superbly transcribe feelings to the point you're the protagonist yourself. It hurts so good. This look he gives meant a thousand things. It's too much. Ahhh~~~~ |
| Kyo's flashback shows he doesn't actually hate Yuki ;A; I wish they could get along better. Love them both in their own ways ^-^ KyoXTohru cute like usual ^////^ the way he looked up at her~~~ /DIES. |
| Kyo playing with Tooru was really cute and hilarious at the same time lmao. Yuki finally matured as a character and was able to say how he felt about Tooru. Honestly, I think giving him a love interest would be pretty unnecessary and he's fine as he is. |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I guess I'm the oddball and felt a little sad that Yuki doesn't see Tohru that way. It's weird of me to want to ship Tohru with both of the guys but obviously, that's impossible loool |
| Kyou telling Yuki that he has no idea what it's like to be struggling hit home, you just never ever know. I'm also longing for Kyou and Yuki to make up and put the past behind them. Yuki even said in the last episode he had hoped they could be friends :( |
 |
| I got buzzed and thought about this episode, so here I am, months after I first watched it. I was always a Kyo shipper, but I’m also the kind who likes to go with whatever the author/mangaka believes is best... she did this so well. I mean, honestly, it all makes so much sense now. I typically don’t ever simply dislike a ship as strong as this one, but there was always something off to me between Yuki and Tohru. Again, him seeing her as a mother figure EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. I remember being amazed at how perfect an explanation that was, because I could never, for some reason, picture Tohru and Yuki being together. They’re typically both soft-spoken, and I know Yuki sometimes loses that patience, which has proved to be an excellent character arc, but they were never a good “fit.” Meanwhile, Kyo always looked at Tohru different... she was also the only one who ran after him in the finale of the first season. *Sigh* So, yes, I did come back here to talk about this amazing show/development just because I drank too much wine. Also, I sincerely apologize to any Yuki shippers out there who’s ship just sank... And I think I should note that I have not read any of the manga, even though this already says anime-only post. |
 |
| Another good episode. Can't wait for that act. |
 |
| I’m just wondering what’s up with Kyo and Tohru’s mom, wonder if it’ll get explained by the end of this season or will it be explained next season |
 |
| Kyo has a lot of maturing to do... |
 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. |
| first half was a nice follow-up after last episode. kyo lashing out to yuki with words that's the opposite of what yuki's been through was also great |
| I wanted Kakeru and Yuki's convo to be a little longer for some reason Ayame made my day again |
melieon said: As someone who read the manga fifteen years ago or so, simply seeing this animated makes me want to cry, I never thought it would happen. Yuki is one of my favorite characters ever, I'm so proud of my boy :') Kyoru also warms my heart a lot, I'm looking forward to seeing more of them together. I'm looking forward to it all actually, I hope S3 comes as soon as possible (hopefully without having the crew overwork themselves). This. Fellow 15 y/o, I salute you! Just cuz everyone's talking about Kyo and Yuki: Kyo is justified. Yuki is justified. They are both justified. HOWEVER, Yuki has matured to the level, grown and risen up where he can look PAST his justifications to something better - just because you can spend your life hating something or something doesn't mean you should. Kyo hasn't reached there yet. He still has many unsolved 'skeletons in the closet' for lack of better term - he's matured far past what he started as, but he still has a long way to go and that's FINE, and it's justified. I'm glad Yuki was able to start looking past the Soumas and into the future~ Also, the animation has been absolutely FLAWLESS the last two episodes. Like daaaaaam |

| Yuki actually opened up to someone and shared his feelings. I'm glad he trusts manabe. My boi got a friend like he wanted. I cannot stress enough how much i liked that this didn't turn into a love triangle. I didn't enjoy the way kyo talked to Yuki after seeing his backstory. Kyo has to still change and I think that's what Yuki trying to do. Baby Yuki just wanted kyo to be his friend. Kyo×tooru moments are cute. That slo-mo was (how do I put it) absolutely needed lol!! |
| I've always been on team Kyo. But I don't like the way they settled Yuki's feelings for her as "motherly". It just felt wrong after all that time. I would have preferred if they retained it as romantic love :( |

taylormoo said: I typically don’t ever simply dislike a ship as strong as this one, but there was always something off to me between Yuki and Tohru. Sorry for quoting something you posted months ago 🤣But I realized this might be right. I've always felt something was off, but I never wanted to accept it. I've always been on Team Kyo, but somehow, I kind of wanted to Yuki to always be by her side too, so I just kind of brushed off the "off-ness" of their relationship 🤣 |

| Kyo teasing Tohru was just so cute. Glad there ain't no painful love triangle as the pain from everybody's sad backstory is already dealing enough damage. Also it would be even tougher to see Yuki and Kyo becoming friends if they both loved Tohru romantically. |

Nobody5464 said: llolzcalai said: they were never romantic love we just assumed that and yuki tried to pretend they were because he was embarrassed. The author came up with this relationship idea before even writing the story.I've always been on team Kyo. But I don't like the way they settled Yuki's feelings for her as "motherly". It just felt wrong after all that time. I would have preferred if they retained it as romantic love :( Yeah, you have a point. But I think he was more confused than embarrassed. Honestly, I just find it hard to accept because it's not my preferred way to end their relationship HAHA but thinking back on all their interactions, I do understand how the "motherly" feelings is sensible. |

| I'd really like to say that "I expected this of Yuki not having any romantic ideas with Tooru" since the story up to this point, Yuki's actions are always on the passive side. The thought of "maybe they just have different goals in mind" cross my mind again and again. And finally, I'm glad Yuki explained what Tooru is to him and he unexpectedly said it to his new found friend and the things he did earlier episodes makes sense now. 😌😌 |

| 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. |
