| I almost forgot all about Hiro! What a little shit! That scene of him paying for the crepes, I remember that from the 2001 version. Jayzuuuz Christ that child should've been beaten instead of Kisa. However, Akito has a preference for beating up women instead. LOL at Hiro's shocked expression when he transformed into his Zodiac form: Wooloo. |
| 臭い- |
| Another episode, another annoying member of the Soma family. It's definitely a pattern now. Also, Hiro threatens Kyo with being arrested for child abuse early on, so how is Akito able to get away with what he did to Kisa (and to Yuki as well, for that matter)? I mean, I get that abusers can instill so much fear in who they abuse that they're scared to tell anyone in fear of worse happening, but it's still hard to believe that no one in the family would be able to surpass that fear to try and get Akito arrested. Either way, Hiro is annoying enough that I don't feel sorry for him, but I do feel sorry for Kisa. This episode once again reinforced how messed up the Soma family is and how much I really, really hope that Akito suffers some serious consequences for his horrible abuse before the show ends. |
HOOfan_1 said: HereticHunter said: Maybe, maybe not, but I'm pretty sure Akito wouldn't fall that easy over cops, that, and even if the police manages to catch him, nothing prevents him for escaping disguising himself as an animal (or doing something worse), so its still not a good idea whatsoever. Akito doesn't turn into an animal. What bad thing do you think Akito can do to the police? Akito is frail and sickly. The only reason the Zodiacs put up with Akito is the curse makes them. Oops my bad then, Then the other reason you got in the forums is the most accurate then, the one with the spoiler tag xP. |

K1ngOfSloth said: Why the hell do so many people here think that Akito is a girl? His appearance may look rather feminine but... like didnt you hear his voice (va)?! And he's classified as male here on mal You clearly didn't read the spoiler on Akito's MAL page. It answers your question. |

| Akito messed up the hole Sohma family o.o Hiro-kun is a totally tsundere like Kyo lol! I really love Hiro and Kiss together! Hiro is a good kid even he not always knows how to deal with his emotions. When he smiles it make my heart melting!  |
| That brat is the worst anime character ever, so much so I am on the edge of dropping this. Hopefully he doesn't feature much in the future. |
 |
| Cool the goat zodiac. He was really annoying at first but looks like he settled with Tohru already |
 |
| yeah hiro is not one of my favourites, but i liked how he redeemed himself by being nice to tohru at the end, |
 |
| That new Zodiac brat was annoying af. Also I dunno why no one says anythng to akito , even after that bastard did horrible things to all of them they just take it for granted that what Akito does is right. No matter what the reason abusing and beating a child so hard that she needed two weeks to heal is no freaking way right and yet they all did no jack shit to Akito. |
 |
| Finally! Hiro's here. Love this episode. |

Naerys said: I really don't understand Zodiac's relationship with Akito - I know she's but why are they so tolerant of her? Why do they discuss so calmly her beating up a child? Why don't they blame her for anything? Mention about Akito and the "she" is a manga spoiler alert. Take care about this because is only in the manga. In first adaption Akito was a male. |
| I really hate people like Hiro. feeling smug after so many "witty" response just makes you want me to punch you in the face. I am a sarcastic person myself but damn Hiro, set you limits man, don't make witty responses to everything |
| That kid drove me nuts |
  “The most shameless thing in the world is political power that can be inherited regardless of ability or talent!” |
| what an annoying kid, but i do agree with some of what he said he may be harsh, but tooru really is too nice for her own good. she gotta learn to start saying "no". shes lucky she met the sohma family. cause if she'd met anyone else she could've gotten taken advantaged of and used and manipulated for others' gains. and she'd be hurt, and learned that not all humans deserves to be treated kindly |
| Tohru is too wholesome, I love her. |
| I would happily spend the night in a prison cell for child abuse if I was that little shit's sibling or parent. What a nasty little shit. I hate it when shows try to pass off characters like this as a joke or somehow justified or even include them. They're literally nothing but annoying and add so little. |
 |
| Yuki's reply to the Mogeta anime is pretty much anime these days, is a problem in and of itself. Bratty kiddo sheep zodiac Hiro on the scene, after the adjournment that Kisa stayed in Shigure's house. It's too bad that Tohru has to deal with such people with walls that high to breakdown, with what ended up being a romance sibling fight. And that holds true, as what happened to Hatori ages ago, the same applies to Hiro and Kisa. Akito would never approve until he understands, and we won't be seeing that resolve in quite a long time from now (considering that there's 65 episodes and three-fifths to go). If there's anything to learn, the Soma curse still stands, within and outside in its insane and messed-up subtlety. |

| Everyone’s hating on Hiro while I’m just like “I love my kind ram zodiac boy”, haha. It makes me wonder how I used to feel about Hiro before I read the manga and when I watched the original anime, although I don’t recall ever hating him anyways. Another great episode though, and I’m glad to see one of my favorite parts! I can’t wait for what’s to come as well, since we’re getting closer and closer... |
| My precious child Hiro. I seriously love almost all of the characters in this series sooooo much. I can't believe how deep Okitsu's voice for Hatori is lol. |
| Tohru has quite the saint personality. She thinks of even the bad people to have some circumstances that made them to be so. Her kindness and honesty melts down the heart. Can't wait for her to change even Akito too. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I'm all for Tohru being sweet and accommodating but I wish that they didn't characterize her as a hapless doormat. I mean, if an object falls from the sky, even a child's first instinct is to look up to see where it fell from. What kind of an idiot sits down and stares at it like "huh, isn't that something?" And if some stranger just grabbed my bag like that and took one of my possessions, I would immediately give chase or call the cops about the robbery. At least have Tohru run after him, bump into Momiji and enlist his help. Give the poor girl some agency! Overall, not the best of our lovable crew has to offer. Kisa and Yuki and Kyo were the saving grace of this episode. |
| These faces are so cute that I might just leave them here (#`Д´)´∀`)･ω･) ﾟДﾟ)ﾟ∀ﾟ)･∀･)￣ｰ￣)´_ゝ`) |
| Hiro is a bratty one huh...but looks like he was just overprotective to Kisa... almost 2k yen for 2 pcs of crepe!? oh man! is japan already high cost of standard living!? lolz 4/5. |
 |
| I would've slapped the dogshit out of this kid. |

matias067 said: almost 2k yen for 2 pcs of crepe!? oh man! is japan already high cost of standard living!? lolz When Tooru goes to order the 3 crepes, you can see the prices for a short time, they are almost 500 yen each, so a bit less than 1500 yen. Which is exactly how much money Tooru had (she said she had 1535 yen), lol, good that she didn't have to buy them in the end. No idea if 500 yen is too much for 1 crepe, I never tried those, I don't know what goes into making them, but they look yummy in this episode. XD |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| So how many more annoying characters are there? That's how you ruin an episode and almost the whole show, with bad disgusting characters. ugh |
 |
| gosh i wish that Shigure was gay ddddd, idk but he seems to fill out all characteres of a middle thirties gay man. Gladly that im not the only one who did think that Hiro's fucking unpolite. Regardless of what he might've experienced, this is not an excuse to start to badmouth everyone and being annoying at its finest. Even kids can be respectul if someone teaches them, guess it isnt for this one. However he isn't the biggest issue here as it goes for Akito at being in another level of psychopath right? Beatin the hell up of a child likeeeeee weeeee, there's no boundaries to them power? I mean this is a seriously matter, i know it's fantasy and whatever, but even on this, there has to be children protection laws. |
| The first episodes of Fruits Basket have been fun and interesting, but as the last episodes are coming, I'm thinking how many things are considered "regular" in this world: abuse, psychological torture, incest... I can see why many people hate this anime. I guess the best part of this episode were the scenes with Kyou... I also like Kisa as well, poor girl has suffered a lot and didn't deserve all of this BS. |

There isn't incest in Fruits Basket though? I don't get why people keep saying this, Soma family is big and none of the couples are between siblings. In terms of abuse and psychological torture, well i think the whole point of Furuba is show abuse, how it affects people and how they survive from it. I guess someone could hate the show for that, but to me it's good and mature topic to tackle. |
| You know what, a lot of things Hiro said to Tohru about her thinking way more about others than herself was really something even i wanted to tell her if i could. Yeah the way he decided to do it was really unnecessary, but he's still just a kid. I guess i don't dislike him like the majority of people on this thread. |

olaclarice said: Abuse is a major theme of the show, but that’s what I like about it. It’s a mature and emotional topic that a lot of shows are afraid to tackle. Also incest isn’t a thing in this show. All the characters that date are not actually blood related. They are part of a clan, so they aren’t closely related at all. Even so, marrying your cousin is legal in Japan from what I know.The first episodes of Fruits Basket have been fun and interesting, but as the last episodes are coming, I'm thinking how many things are considered "regular" in this world: abuse, psychological torture, incest...

| This Hiro kid is annoying too. I thought he would be better than this but no, he's just a brat who thinks he is such smart when he's just plain eyesore. This Akito person again. Beating up Kisa. Even if you hypothetically stand by that atrocity why would you beat the person who's being loved than the one who said they love. Good, at least Hiro knows he's very annoying. Hope he works at that. |

| Okay Hiro is the best character in this serie x) I just love tsundere clever gaki |

This show is extremely dark in parts that has a happy facade. |
| Oscar and Andre deserved better |
That face is really bad for my heart. |
| Hiro can be annoying but I loved the sass that he threw towards those cartoon characters. |
| um so...when is the story gonna get moving? if i have to watch another episode introducing ANOTHER zodiac character without anything really significant happening i might just drop this... |
| Damn Hiro was so damn annoying in the beginning. Better show some respect xD Yet we still don't know much about Akito and why on earth would Akito hurt Kisa. |
 |
| I didn't even dislike the sharp tongued, albeit bratty Hiro. But his character really grew on me during just this one episode. A lot was done right here again. And his sheep form looked too adorable. Need to learn more about Akito, tho. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I didn't care for Hiro at first, but after seeing why he acts the way he does, I ended up liking the kid. I love the moral Tohru teaches Hiro and I love his cute relationship with Kisa. I'm super excited to see where this story goes! <3 |
