| Really touching episode but ofc amusing too since Yuki's brother was there XD. |
 |
| the character growth... and showing the big brother finally opening the door to his lil bro's room meaning they finally opened up to each other after years ... TOP TlER |
 They all feel the same adjust to the pain..like tears in the rain.. |
| I think this was the last episode from the original 2001 show that the new adaptation hasn't covered until now. Like before, the new one does a really good job with adapting Ayame's visit to Shigure's house as well as Tohru and Yuki's visit to Ayame's craft shop. As expected, Ayame's antics remains one of my favourite things about him. From being all hyper around to the hilarious yoai-baiting with Shigure, Ayame never fails to put a smile on my face or make me laugh. His heart-to-heart talk with Yuki at his shop was really good, tough. We got to see what he was like when Yuki was a lot younger and how he refused to help him back then when they both lived with their parents, which he does come to regret. This is why he wants to be the best brother to Yuki now to make up for his mistakes in the past and that makes him even more likeable. Not to forget, his assistant, Mine, is super cute and the outfit that she helped Tohru into was pretty pretty. =3 coreynj said: Who the hell peels a peach? Don't you just eat it like an apple? There're some people in the world who would prefer to eat an apple without the skin on. Nothing wrong with that or peeling a peach, since it's just a preference after all. =) |
| Ayame is so fun. I love every time he shows up. It was also nice to see him and Yuki bonding. Good stuff. |
| What matters most is redemption. No matter what a person did to you in the past, as long as they regret it and want to compensate, they deserve another chance. Ayame as a brother was only disregarding Yuki which for others, didn't sound tragic but it had a big impact on Yuki as a kid. He needed his brother most of all but he turned his back on him. I'm glad to see they're starting to get along together. I wish it was Kyou who saw Tohru in a white dress though. I'd love to see his reaction. |

 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
Bibimbapski said: Loved this episode as always! I heard next week's episode will be even better. Anyways, it's always a treat to see Ayame terrorize Yuki. I love seeing Yuki get upset, it shows that he is human with normal human emotions. LOL at Yuki saying "It's coming! It's coming! I don't know what it is but it's coming!" when Ayame ran towards him in a bridal gown. I feel like this version was funnier than the original since this is more solemn and the comedy that comes out of nowhere and attacks while the original version, although it was also good in its own way, was more comedic with drama thrown in. Sometimes I wonder why people in the forum thread here call the comedy in this show cringe, when it’s the kind most of us should be quite familiar with in pretty much any shoujo series, anyway. |
 |
| Oh my! Tohru is the cutest! <3 The memories from the past made me sad :( Anyways great episode! |

| Ayame, more than the jinxster to Yuki, seems like he always trolls him, and even in front of Shigure. But instead, mending leftover Chapters 36 and 47 to focus on their brotherly relationship, one that's always strained in some form. And of course, Ayame loves all things art and craft, and as such a very frantic episode. The main topic is how Yuki and Ayame overcame their family's struggles and even to maintain this fragile relationship that has been tainted ever since. The courage to do tangible things and not let their lives be tools, in all their resolutions. In retrospect, Ayame's charisma was the one that struck a chord between Yuki and himself, regardless of their differences, which is a good compromise. As usual, an informative and good repaired-relations episode. |
 |
| Too funny this anime if in the narration there is the character of Ayame, but the intriguing thing is that there was also the possibility of knowing better certain aspects of this character, I did not expect him to have a partner, whose way of doing and his tastes are similar to a man who defines himself full of "refined and noble charisma". As they say, God first makes them and then couples them. Eheheheheh!!! |
 |
| I liked this episode a lot. Ayame is loud but still fun. Nice to see the two brothers bonding. Ayame and his desire to create really hit me. I've thought briefly about the same thing before, but haven't actually acted on it. It's almost... inspiring. |
   |
| Every episode featuring Ayame is a good episode. I love this fabulous man so much, even more now that we got a brief glimpse of his past as well as how he used to be. Pretty good episode overall. Not gonna lie, I missed Kyou but considering the focus would be mostly on Yuki's character, not having him around was a good choice in the end. This said, seeing Yuki bonding (kind of) with his older brother was quite heartwarming. Really liked the talk they had. So next episode seems to have Haru as the center. Absolutely looking forward to it! |
| I was sure they would dress Tohru as a bride! |
 |
| I just love Ayame's antics. Just how flamboyant can you make a character? Good to see a different side of him too though. He really hurt Yuki in the past though and his regrets are deserved; but him trying to finally act like an actual brother will probably do wonders for Yuki too and, when done well, improve their relationship. It will never be perfect again but when a healthy brotherly relationship grows it will be beneficial to both of them. |
 |
| I went into this episode thinking I wouldn't like it, because I didn't enjoy the last episode that much. But I was pleasantly surprised! Very nice episode. |
 |
| Great ep. Really nice seeing Ayame and Yuki interacting with each other. Ayame does really care about Yuki. |
 |
| Ayame is still as hilarious as ever. Toru really did look cute in that dress. |
 |
| Ayame really was cold back then I almost cried for Yuuki's past. he is acting in this stupid way to keep up with his guilt towards Yuuki, cause he knows if he shows regret and pathetic side of his everything might crush between him and Yuuki. Tohru looked gorgeous in that Lace outfit. |
| Imagine freshly waking up from a nightmare, seeing your brother and just thinking "I hate life". And Ayame scares me with his passion... but as a man, I have to respect how much he enjoys "cultured" clothing. ...I'm still curious if a man actually wanted a wedding dress for himself, or that Ayame just got the instructions wrong? Other than that, as Ayame would probably say, "this brotherly love is tearjerking, and amazing as I am!" "This is romance" *WHEEZE* Nice cut-in. |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| again the idea that everyone who's broken needs someone to fix them *sigh* but i'm not even mad at this point which is good KoniginElle said: I wish it was Kyou who saw Tohru in a white dress though.

| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| not much to say except Tohru-chan looks beautiful in that white dress! :) |
| Ayame is such a character hahahah xD Yuki and Hatori have got their hands full lmao :D Mine is so sweet to stick with Aya :') |
| Ayame and Yuki episode. It's quite interesting that they show another side of Ayame. I have to admit that they should tone down the comedy a bit at times so the transition doesn't feel forced. And finally, Tooru in that dress is cute! 4/5 |

| sakurai takahiro did a great job on this episode, the voice acting was GREAT, so much range! great episode, i'm glad the brothers are repairing and building their relationship. tohru's so cute as usual~  ......LOL |
 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 |
| >being Ayame >calling up the fam to tell everyone about his little brother's first boner >this is why Yuki can't stand your ass |

| I wonder if Mine knows the Zodiac Curse? She and Ayame get along really well. And she was like the "Tohru" of Ayame. It's nice to see some brotherly scenese between Yuki and Ayame. Wish they will get closer. |

| Fantasy! This episode made me laugh so hard! Was also very touching at the same time! |
 |
| I can't get over the new opening, I love it so much T_T I really enjoyed this ep, Yuki looooves Tooru in that dress, and we learned more about Yuki's childhood too. |
 |
| Ayame and Yuki's convo. was precious. Also, Tohru was looking really cute. |
 |
| Another great episode, it is slow, but I really like how things have developed thus far, that you at leisure see the characters erupt from their shells. The talking between the brothers got me warm up and seeing Tohru on that dress, CUTE! |
 |
| tohru was stunning in dat outfit, the opposite color of the other gal no less lolz. |
 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. |
| fruits basket: brotherhood. nice I bet that maid would be more stunning if she untied her hair Yuki's compliment was pretty cool. I'll take note of that just in case |
| Ayame and Shigure do be sharing a single brain cell when they are together. Ummm What was Yuki gonna do if he wasn't interrupted by Aya san. Good to see ayame making effort to right his wrongs. |
| Truly an expert in a man's romance! Ayame is as extravagant as always where its heartwarming to see him growing closer to his brother Yuki compared to the cold past. |

At any rate, this episode made me like Ayame so much that I wished very badly to have been able to meet him in person! I would have liked the chance to have a chat with Shigure too 😁! But these things wouldn't be possible, would it 😩? Maybe only in my imagination... |

| ayame never fails to deliver serious humour episode, my favourite sohma. really love his relationship with yuki. felt though this episode needed more kyou. |
| Every time a new side character is introduced, I pray that they're not annoying, and it always fails. I'm so impressed by this anime's ability to make 99% of its side characters as dislikable as possible, even though the story of the Soma family is so good... I'm really eager to see what new types of irritating side characters will be introduced in the next episodes! |
