| You've got to give respect to Kyo in this episode. He kept his cool a lot better than before when he and the others confronted Haru in his dark mode after trashing his classroom. When Haru went too far and physically grabbed Tohru during the argument, Kyo stepped him with a fist to Haru's face and he also had a very pissed off look on him, too. Haru's suspension was inevitable, so it was nice of Yuki to go and visit him. He saw Rin, who escaped from the hospital, by the entrance to the Soma estate and, despite some traumatic flashbacks he had, he was able to muster the courage to enter the estate. He also encountered the head waitress (one character that you'll learn to hate the more she appears), but thankfully he brushed her off and quickly went Haru. Aside from the game Haru was playing that looked like a homage to the PS1 version of Final Fantasy 7 or 8, the two of them had a nice talk between each other. Despite getting dumped by Rin, Haru isn't giving up and his more relaxed look on him confirms that commitment of his. Nice episode overall. Rin didn't get too much screentime here, but her story development in the manga is one of my favourite, so I do look forward to seeing how the anime adapts her story from here on out. =) |
| Love this episode! You'll get to see Kyo being protective of Tohru!🥰 I feel bad for Yuki, he's obviously jealous. But I still don't think it would do well if Tohru ends up with Yuki. Kyo is the most dejected character in FB. A lot discriminated him because of his cat zodiac. That's why I think it would fair him well if he will get the love of his life. To have someone that will fill the hole in his heart. Can you imagine how miserable he would be if he's also heartbroken? |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Haru is such an edgy brat :S Good episode again, had many nice moments. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Assuming it's cause of the epidemic but man the visual quality this episode sure took a dip. It was something I didn't have to worry about with this show but this episode alone already started bugging me with choppy animation and derpy/blocky body parts/faces. Regardless, about time we get Rin, even if she didn't get much screentime. |
| Introspection episode, which played a lot on the fact of showing and not showing the character of Rin, too bad, however, I really wanted to find out more about it. Haru's character is also very amusing, but nobody beats Ayame's character in terms of comedy, I miss him. I look forward to the moment when Rin and Thoru know each other, always if they know each other in person, who knows! |

It's a huge family, like a clan, there's 150 of them living at the Souma estate (and who knows how many somewhere outside). It’s most likely they’re very distantly related, if at all. Some people have never met before even though they are from the same family, like Hatori and Kana. |

| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| Rin seems like she's upto something. Hope she doesn't turn out to be a bad girl cause I like Haru and want him to be happy. |
 |
| I think I'll never get tired of seeing more of Kyo's arc. Especially since I heard that talk of "lock him up" before. Especially since how he sees Tohru. Man, I hardly remember when he was super cold at the beginning. Learning more about the Soma family is always great... mainly 'cause you can usually cut the air with a knife. I think Yuki was worried because the second Tohru steps not the estate that Akito will completely onto her. Ah yes, "reflecting and repenting". I did that just today with Persona 5 R. |
| "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. |
| Rin really does look good. Looking forward to learning more about her. |
| Wew Haru and Rin seem like the dynamite duo. Both have cool fashion sense and are menacing. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Definitely a build up episode to some things that will happen with Rin and Haru. I think she is the last zodiac for us to meet? |
| Finally glad that the story is picking up a little. Loved the interaction between Tohru and Kyo and anticipating how Yuki will grow from here! The end with Rin was a little suspicious.. Can't wait to see what happens |

She's the horse (you can see it in the opening). We still have to meet the rooster. Yeah okay. I honestly made zero effort to count I just know we've met an ass load at this point lol. |
| So Haru had a girlfriend all along but he was still in love with Yuki in first season, what? I really enjoy the direction of the show although I've never seen the OG anime or read the manga. Even without being an old fan it shows they know what they're doing with the story. They know how to balance comedy, drama, and mystery, and make the mood feel right for each of these and have very smooth transitions. My only problem (always was) is the animation when it comes to certain characters exchanging blows, it looks like they're flying in the air, and it looks a bit off. Otherwise this season is really fun so far, probably more than first season. |

| Imagine destroying your whole classroom (expensive windows included) and only be suspended for a couple of days. M y s t e r y ~ Overall, not as good as the previous two episodes but still quite welcome in terms of characterization for Haru's character. His determination to recover his beloved Rin is indeed quite admirable so I hope things can work out between them in the end. The bits of development Yuki received were also nice, by the way. Glad to see he managed to suppress his fears for a while in order to visit Haru. Hopefully, this first step of entering the Souma estate will mark the start for his recovery. |
| hmmm i'm interested about this Rin...i wonder what's her story... 4/5. |
 |
| What's up with Rin at the end? She looks a little pissed off lol |
 |
| Amazing Ep. Finally, get to see Rin. |

1Kyo said: This is actually my favorite episode of season 2 so far. They are putting more focus on the mystery aspect of the story more. I like that. Stark700 said: Felt like a slower buildup episode but mostly importantly, we got an appearance of the horse Zodiac. Wait, I'm confused now. I thought Hattori was the horse Zodiac? He transforms into a seahorse, and there is no seahorse in the Zodiac, so I thought he was the horse. What part of the Zodiac is Hattori then? Hatori is actually the dragon zodiac. It comes from a pun in Japanese. |

| Oh boi! I'm fucking excited to see more about Rin! |

| Dude, your 16. Middle/high school (and even college, to an extent) relationships hardly ever last. When you're in school, you have hardly anything you can offer to the other person. What, your parent's money? A room in your parents house? Relationships can't take off unless you have the means to actually facilitate it (ie, a job that can pay the bills to support housing for the both of you). Then again, Hatsuharu and Rin are apart of the Souma family. Their needs are pretty much taken care of from day 1. Even if they were courting someone outside of the Souma family, they'd simply bring them in. I guess it really does come down to their flippant, hormonal emotions. |
| According to the opening this new girl is the horse zodiac. I'm really curious with what her story. Especially with how serious she looks at the end. |
 |
| I can't wait to see more of Yuuki's story and that blush at the end damn him for being that cute... (///w///) |
| good episode. Kyo is so fast to protect Tohru from danger. I hope Haru's relationship with Rin can still be fixed. |
| Mmmnnn. From what I remember, Rin wasn't a v pleasant girl to deal with lol. I stopped in the manga during half of the Rin stuff, so idk if she softens up later or whatnot. We shall see :3 |
| I like this episode, Haru feels that Yuki cares for Tohru. Can't wait for Rin reasons to break up with him in future episodes. |
| 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. |
| lmfao i dead ass LAUGHED when yuki echoed baka neko loooooool sigh haru is so hot. i simply adore him. hope to see him lots in this season again x~) |
 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 |
| Slowly but surely Kyo went from being insufferable and obnoxious at the top of the series to eventually awakening my latent gay catboy crushing. And I HATE tsunderes! And this episode wasn't even about him!! all of the scenes with that cringey German rabbit should be replaced with scenes with Kyo! |

| Got to know Hatsuharu's side of things. Enjoyed it. |
 |
| This episode really mellowed my out lolz, felt really long winded as well. Childhood trauma is the most difficult to get rid of, since as kids we are wayyyyyy to fucking vulnerable and even as adults we feel like we are still stuck in da past.. So as a teenager with hormones going wild... its pretty much impossible to not have issues 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. |
| Glad to see Haru is getting some more development, also first appearance of Rin, looking forward to see her more going on, also heard the drama is gonna start to become real, really soon. |
 |
| Dark mode or not, Hatsuharu definitely deserved that punch from Kyo * I'm fucking jealous of his huge gaming monitor * Nice cliffhanger |
| This episode was alright. Like seeing Haru was good but got pretty boring towards the end. Hope we get some action soon. |
