Too bad Yuki is treating him that way.


In the old anime, it was better explained why Yuki treats Ayame like that, and here we only caught a glimpse but Yuki is right. They will explain it better later and you'll understand.


Oh man next episode is finally going to be about Momiji's past. I'm so not ready for the tears. Momiji best boy T____T Hope they make it similar to the old version because it was one of the best and more emotional episodes.

Yuki has a brother!! Too bad they don't get along. Ayame is so gorgeous too, both as a snake and human. If Yuki's class saw them together the nosebleed would never stop.

The best friend trio has an interesting dynamic and I hope we get to see more of them in the future. While I understand they are probably just joking around, I can't help but ship all three of them together.

Whew I went straight fujoshi for a second with that one moment early on with Ayame and Shigure, that’s not even really usually my style either 😝

I really wonder how long this series will be. I am beginning to lose the story a bit. Like what is it about and what is the goal type of thing. Its turning into a rather boring slice of life for me :x

Haru looking at Yuki like he is the center of his universe strikes me right in my weak kokoro.


I just love the way Haru reaches out for Yuki in both this episode and the previous one.

This series is going to be (at the absolute very least) 50 episodes long, and that won't be enough. 63 or 75 episodes would be more fitting and will be able to adapt all of the important story points. Anything more than that might end up feeling far too slow paced, but could end up working too.

Anyway, the first season of Fruits Basket will mostly consist of introducing the Zodiac Members, giving backstories on the characters, and inserting small bits of foreshadowing for future events here and there. Furuba isn't a SoL series, not really. It's a coming-of-age family drama and I think the "coming-of-age" element is the most important. The point of the whole series is a pretty big spoiler, but it will be clear by the second season.

This first season is just setting all of the foundations for the later bits, and I guess you could say that that is the purpose/point of this first season.

Eh, Episode 18 is very likely going to be
. At least, based off of this Season 1 outline. (Obviously, SPOILER WARNING for that link). It was written on two sticky notes that were stuck to the side of the computer in the Funimation video about Momiji's German accent in the dub.

So, Episode 18 may not be what you are thinking it will be.

Oops! Sorry, I didn't see that someone already provided this information. Feel free to ignore this post, lol.

Funimation has accidentally leaked the partial outline of season 1 and it seems they're going to change the order of events quite a bit:



so the darkest part of season 1 will most likely get moved to its four final episodes.



Ah, I see, thanks for the info. So they are changing things again. Well, it does seem more fitting for the darkest part of the 1st season to be in the final episodes, like it was in the first anime. ^^;

I thought there could only be one member of the Zodiac per family. It was a big surprise for me to know that Yuki has a brother.
Hahaha, Ayame is another freak of the Soma family, but he seems like a good guy. The lack of faith women in the Zodiac is noted. LOL. It made me laugh when he and Shigure talked together. I think the most normal of the Soma is Hatori 😅.

I wonder what kind of illness Yuki suffered in his childhood to remain in "quarantine".

"The things we do not understand as children become clear when they grow up, what we should have done, what we should have said." That is very true ... and what Tooru said after that was beautiful. His mother was great: ').

This series picked up a lot in these last few episodes. This one was very enjoyable in particular.
Ayame is a great... uke lmao. I sensed Hatori x Ayame (x Shigure) in this episode and that last Hatsuharu x Yuki scene was precious. The way Hatsuharu opens his arms and approaches Yuki whenever he sees him, thats really cute.

If they keep to the manga order of chapters, Ayame's shop should have been in episode 20, but there is information that they will change the order of chapters, so I don't know in which episode it will be.

Loved how hard Ayame tried to open up Yuuki's heart and I truly admired that, he probably feels guilty about the past but still its respectful.

BL scene ruined the moment for me.

still wonder what that shop theme was.

I was looking forward to this episode. Ayame is one of my favorite characters from the original.
It's kind of interesting that in the original dub it said Red Light District and in this sub, it said Pleasure District.

Honestly, I would listen to Ayame's anecdotes all day. They were easily my favorite part of this episode. Already loving his character, by the way. Such a fabulous man indeed xD

Great episode as always but now, I'm really interested in the next one since it will be focused on Momiji's backstory. Looking forward to it.

I'm liking the 2019 animation more than the 2001, but somehow I can't get used to Ayame being voiced by Sakurai at all :/

I feel like the "explaining how he kept his long hair" scene had a much better delivery in 2001

So Ayame is Yuki's brother huh? He' so beautiful but he's really funny. Their highschool moments were too damn hilarious especially him announcing that he's a bottom 🤣🤣🤣 But he seems to really admire and respect Hatori. I can't wait to see more of him.

The way Haru held Yuki tho.🤣🤣🤣

Ayame sure is being awkward in his attempts to bond with Yuki. I hope Yuki does what makes sense to him and won't feel pressured to become closer to Ayame (who can be SUPER annoying, what a bullshitter). Another piece of Tohru's mother's wisdom, how nice! I wish the story would spend more time on the main characters' development instead of continuously introducing secondary characters so frequently. I want to see more of Tohru!
