It's really funny how Yuki and Kyo get really worried for Tohru. Even observing how she would eat her mochi lol Well good thing they spent New Year's together. Hana's "I'll be waiting" is funny tho

Haha Kyou and Yuki really sounded like mothers worrying for their child, so cute ^^ Wish they had said it made them happy to be with her for the new year too. I liked the mochi part as well: they really infantilise her too much and the anime pointed it out, nice! I mean, they cannot even wash the dishes... Anyway, my wish for the future episodes is for Tohru to become less selfless! Onwards to episode 9.

Happy new years, I don't see anything wrong with spending new years alone. Wish I was alone sometimes, too much commotion.

Behold of my awesomeness~

"I really don't think Tohru experiences the world the same way as other people do. She just accepted that we transform into animals like it's no big deal".

I mean if I were in her place, I would not also think like it's that big a deal, 'cause.. c'mon.

Saki was quite the mvp here, because without her, those two might not have changed their minds

I love this anime so much, it is so wholesome and so many great anime moments!!

Two boys facing each other for a girl is also way more relatable to a male watcher (me) then in shounen romance with all those girls.

God, seeing Tohru be so happy is one of the most precious things to happen all day, it’s really amazing just how infectious her smile is. Now here I am, smiling along like an idiot at night haha. On the episode as a whole, it was really good, gotta love Hana-Chan and her wavy dialogues. Hopefully, things won’t end up taking a bad turn for the Soma boys cause of them skipping the banquet

Hanajima is the true mvp here for sending Carrots and the Prince back to Tohru so she wouldn't be spending new year alone.

We got to see a whole lot of the rest of the Sohma family so I'm excited to se what zodiac animals they turn into.

How Tohru and I are similar:
- Both want what is best for others, and even though we would like people to spend time with us, we'd feel guilty if they changed all of their plans because of us, so would rather have to do something alone then be a burden and force people to spend time with us.

Because of this, it was so nice to see Yuki and Kyo go back for Tohru. To spend time with her, even though she didn't ask. Because you could see how much Tohru appreciated that. Because she would have rather made the sacrifice to let others go and do their own thing, rather than spending time with her, because she didn't want to be a burden. So it was so nice that those two lads made the sacrifice for Tohru, because the genuinely really care for her. And the best form of quality time, is when people genuinely make the effort to want to spend the time with you, without you having to even ask. It's the best feeling.

One thng I like about fruits basket is that it shows how important a family is.
And how a family doesn't just have to be between parents and child, but can also consist of different constellations.

I'm glad they were able to spend new year together. I can relate to the feeling of loneliness and being alone..

she's so passive omfg. It's not as annoying as other mcs bc she's endearing but if I met someone like that I would not really get how to interact sincerely with them. Tohru is dope either way, I adore her sm.

God Tohru you really don’t want to be a burden on anyone, but most important, your friends really seem to care about you a great deal. So sweet of Saki to think about her friend and persuade Yuki and Kyo to not learn her alone on New Year’s Eve because she knows that Tohru will be depressed because of her mum long gone. Even Arisa decided to check up on her with a phone call even though she had to deal with her dad being an alcoholic XD
Akito and Kagura are definitely the most unstable people of the Souma family so far. With the boys skipping out on the banquet, who knows what’s gonna happen next. Yet another Souma speaking of which, got introduced in this episode which I no doubt will be focused on in the next one is Hatsuharu. Who incidentally enough, has the same voice as Yusuke Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho, Justin Cook.
Very emotional episode and a great one at that. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I really, really, really want to protect Tohru. She’s such an innocent soul to me.

This episode has left me with so many emotions and questions! I'm totally in awe of Tohru's best friends, especially Hanajima's mysterious ability to detect "waves" and maybe even read minds? The moment she seemed to "hear" Tohru's thoughts about making her the first New Year's call was just so intriguing. 👀 And then, Yuki and Kyo rushing back to keep Tohru company on New Year's Eve instead of attending the Zodiac banquet melted my heart. Their decision to stay by her side, knowing the importance of being together during such a moment, was beautiful. ❤️✨

I'm dying to know what Tohru wished for on the roof with Yuki and Kyo. The scene was so tender and full of hope, it just left me yearning for more. And seeing Shigure's neutral stance shift into open disdain was pretty curious. His comment on Akito 'reaping what he sowed' added layers to the mystery surrounding Akito, making me even more eager to unravel his story. 👀

And that ending with the piercing guy declaring Yuki as his first love? Ara ara! 👀 This episode was a whirlwind of emotions, revelations, and unanswered questions. I'm more invested than ever and can't wait to see how these relationships and secrets unfold! 💖
