| love Yuki and Machi development (ノv`*) individual backstory and their ship as well I don't know if it's cuz OST impact, how well they take care of the animation and details, or cuz all the love they put into the script adpatation, but (don't dare to confirm it until it's finished) I think this version will surpass the manga |
| Chapters 102 and 103 were adapted in this latest episode. It looked like the beginning scenes of Chapter 103 were cut from the anime, resulting in some changes and additions for how some scenes play out for this episode as a result. Otherwise, other changes made for this episode were mostly minor. Here were what I spotted for differences in this episode: -The dialogue from the teacher during Machi’s opening narration was added for the anime. -The dialogue with Yuki and the student council members while seeing it snow and preparing a heater actually comes from Chapter 103. In the manga, their conversation originally involved discussing what to do in the snow and Kakeru teasing about wanting to take a nap. -The anime removed a line from Kakeru telling the two girls to leave the student council room because of interrupting him. -The scene of Tohru and the other second-year students preparing for the graduation ceremony of the third-year students was added for the anime. -The anime removed a decent part of Chapter 103’s content up to the scene where Yuki talks with Motoko. Scenes that were removed include:
-Some of Motoko’s inner thoughts on trying to confess to Yuki got removed from the anime. In addition, the anime added in additional flashbacks of Motoko observing Yuki while part of the Yuki Fan Club. -The graduation ceremony was extended for the anime. The song sang for the ceremony accompanying school setting shots was added for the anime. -A small scene was removed following Nao’s meeting with Motoko. Here, he meets up with Yuki and Kakeru, with the latter teasing him to see if his head’s cooled down. -In the manga, Hatori had a cigarette on hand in his scene with Kagura and Shigure. |
| This episode adapts chapters 102-103. We get to know more about Machi (and about Motoko-senpai, but who cares about her :P). More Yuki-Machi moments. <3 (And some Nao-Motoko, but who cares about them. :P) Episode was pretty truthful to the manga, with little bits changed (part with Tooru, Kyou, Uo-chan and Hana-chan was added for the anime). Little parts from manga were cut out, but nothing important. After Kakeru gave Yuki Machi's bra, he got slapped by Machi and kicked on the head by Yuki. The arrows were showing in the wrong directions. Did you guys notice the long black strands of hair falling from Akito's clothes at the end of the episode? It was way more noticable at the end of chapter 103. Next episode "preview" has the words from chapter 106... OMG, I really hope they won't cram 3 chapters into 1 episode. Those 3 chapters are very important, I don't want them to leave out anything. T___T (If they wanted to leave out something, they should have left out bloody Motoko and graduation stuff.) . |

| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| Easily one of my favorite Furuba episodes. Did my boy Yuki evolve from searching for a mommy to become a daddy himself? The way he developed as a character throughout Season 2 and is a chad now, he's my favorite Sohma. And Machi is a spectacularly written character. Moral of this franchise: Parents suck. Mostly. The small moments like Yuki breaking that chalk were signs of great writing. From stepping on snow to stepping on Yuki, I think that should be the goal for Machi now. Not before the curse breaks of course, he might actually die being stomped at that Zodiac form Yeah my humor is crass, but this ship is fire. I mean the author did great to find the perfect partner for Yuki. Too perfect. Nabe and his phone tho XD. Rin cutting her hair, I am not ready for that. |

| Yuki x Machi Kyo x Tohru Hatsuharu x Rin There are so many ships going on, I can't keep a track on 'em xD But this episode was really sweet, got me to like Machi even more than ever and even felt bad for her. Those parents are horrible, it didn't even look like a murder attempt, even suffocating would sound far-fetched. Every horrible parent in the series have a special place in Hell. The graduation scene really hit close to home, man, those days were great and emotional. Even Minagawa got a closure to her story and so did Nao, indirectly confessing which I found very sweet and adorable. This series really love to tug on my heartstrings, I almost cried. For each episode, I am not ready and I won't ever be ready 'cause I'll be hit by feelings all over again. |

LilyGinnyBlack1 said: If that was the case though, then they could have just done Chapters 104 + 105 and then Chapters 106 + 107 Actually no cause 107 fits together with 108 LilyGinnyBlack1 said: Anyway, I'm certain that this season is going to be 13 episodes at this point, I just don't see why the DVD listings, which have been 100% accurate in predicting the episode and cour count of Seasons 1 and 2, would suddenly be different this time around (add in the visuals and lyrics of the OP+ED, Eric Vale and Caitlin Glass' statements, and it just adds up). Well I disagree with that.. I don't understand what exactly is their plan with the Dvds so I'm not gonna expand on it more and everything else you mentioned is just speculations All I know is that the anime going at a normal pace as it has been so far (even with the next 3 chapt ep) falls 16 chapters out for 13 episodes And even with all the suggested cut content I still can't make it fit into one cour not without cutting/skipping many things from the last 10 or so chapters which I'm sure no one will be happy with But We'll probably find out whatever the case may be in the near future so no point in discussing it any further I guess |
| A moment of Yuki x Machi is always so precious >w< <3 Machi have such trashy parents :/ they never wanted to understand her true intentions. Heartbreaking :( What an emotional episode and I loved every bit of it ^^ The last part was really something and I have a bad feeling the moment I saw someone holding that scissor. Hoping Akito didn't do it... |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Machi is my best girl so as you can imagine, this episode was pure bliss for me haha. Seriously, she and Yuki are my favorite couple so I enjoy their scenes so much. The part at her apartment was great as well as the little moment with the chalks <3. Then we move to graduation and damn, I wouldn't have imagined that Motoko would make me cry but her heartfelt goodbye and wishing for Yuki's happiness really got me. The graduation song was the final blow :_D At that point you could make the connection with Nao so seeing him show up made me happy. It sucks that he didn't get to confess but at least he got to send her off warmly. Hiro's mom is precious. That last scene... don't tell me. Isuzu's wonderful hair... :'( |
| This episode made me like Machi a lot more as a character. I love how Yuki quitely broke a piece of chalk just to make her feel a little better. I didn't expect a serious moment with that stupid fangirl. I still can't stand her tho. |
 |
| Another amazing episode with a new story... Honestly the ship Yuki x Machi is a MUST already. Annnd always put your phone into silence mode!! |
 |
| Of all the things to get me pretty buttered up, I did not ever think t'd be one of the stalker comic relief girl's scenes. Yuki really ended up having one of the most compelling arcs in the series and that part was a wonderful extension of it. Machi's relationship with hiom this episode was also mighty heartwarming. So far the final season has been the qualities of the series I like the most. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I'm feeling uncharacteristically wordy tonight, so... TEAL DEER Re: Motoko Minagawa's "non-confession" confession. 10/10. A Trope Killer That was one of the best things I've seen in a high school anime. This trope of "Even if you know you'll be rejected, you have to confess or you'll regret it for the rest of your life" has always low-key annoyed me. True, it HAS given us some of the most powerful and emotionally cathartic scenes in anime, I'll never dispute that. But, even though it takes courage, it's kind of selfish. It puts the onus on the receiver to let them down gently, and know that they hurt someone through no fault of their own. If you KNOW FOR A FACT that someone doesn't reciprocate your romantic feelings and you confess anyway, you're not only hurting yourself (although that pain may bring catharsis), you're hurting them (if they're a good person) by forcing them to give you pain. Like I said, it's always been low-key annoying to me, nothing super upsetting. But Motoko's confession to me seems like a course on the topic I've been seeing in my news feeds for that last year and a half: Emotional Intelligence. She tells Yuki how he made her high school life great while also telling him that she "loved" him. And she immediately aborts his anime-standard "polite rejection". She just wanted to tell him that she enjoyed her time in high school, and a major reason for that was him. There is, of course, still pain there, but the positives are greatly increased for both parties. And this lesson is from one of the "Mean Girls", who, as we've previously seen, isn't really all that mean. Not so shallow after all. |
| One of my favorite episode of the series, got a Machi focused episode and a Motoko focuses episode? A match made in Heaven for me, loved the moments between Machi and Yuki, and also loved his moment with Motoko as well. That final graduation scene was pretty emotional for me, I’ve been missing high school a bit lately, so seeing Motoko reflecting on her life there got me. Nice seeing Nao talk to her in the end too, didn’t expect it but it was also really wholesome. I hope we see Motoko again in the future! |
MatchaGreen said: Indeed, it was very mature of her and it was so sweet that she could experience this kind of "non confession" from Nao. I wasn't found of this character, but after this chapter, she gained my respect. LOL, yes! I posted right after watching the Motoko and Yuki scene. I've watched the whole ep now, and Nao (now/Nao, ha) kinda does the same thing. And she's just as magnanimous as Yuki was (even though she was, like, "Nao?!? Eeeeww!" to Yuki). I dig my emotionally dark stuff, but uplifting scenes like this, well...uplift me. |
| That ending scene tho. If Rin's gorgeous and lustrous black hair was cut off, I swear to god I... Overall, quite eventful episode we got this week. Yuki put all the character development he got during season 2 to great use at comforting Machi while telling her he will be right there for her whenever she needs support. Immediate example with him breaking that chalk was just perfect. But seriously, developing an extreme aversion towards order and perfection because of your parents' unhealthy expectations? That's so messed up. Wonder if there is a special place in hell for awful Furuba parents. On the other hand, the third-year students had their graduation ceremony and to my surprise, both Minagawa and Nao's characters ended up receiving some quite interesting focus. Minagawa's way of confessing to Yuki by thanking him for all the happiness he has given to her was simply precious and the following scene with Nao wishing her to find even more happiness in his own flustered way was really heartwarming to see as well. Honestly, these must be of the sweetest one-sided confessions I have seen in anime media. And on a final note, Hiro's little sister was finally born and she's a total cutie! Hiro not being able to hug her because of the curse hit me like a truck tho. Anyways, I now wonder if her birth will be relevant plot-wise later on. Considering Kureno is no longer part of the Zodiac members and stuff. |
Kamyczek12 said: I wasn't ready neither but imagine... what if Akito cut her hair instead? What if he hurt Rin? I like this motherfucker only when he is in the middle of fucking with Shigure. In other situations, he is just to dangerous to cope. That was the case probably. She is following Ren's orders, so I can only imagine what could happen if she was caught in some action by Akito. More reason to hate that bitch! Which I am trying to avoid this season XD. |

| wow that was some good lovey dovey moments between Yuki x Machi! 5/5. |

| I feel bad for Isuzu, idk what happened to her but I hope she's alright |
| The Yuki & Machi scene gave me goosebumps, loved it! & when he broke the chalk 🥺🥺 Every episode that comes out makes me so grateful that they’re making this. Fruits Basket was one of the original anime/manga that really got me invested in this hobby back in the day, so I can’t wait to see the actual ending in anime form (although it’ll definitely be bittersweet when it ends). |
| Excellent episode! Yuki who makes the girls of his high school crack! Too KAWAII!! <3 |

| Yuki is the best! I wan't to see next episode now! |
 |
| never thought that I cried for Minagawa lol |
MatchaGreen said: Shinuki_n_Reborn said: Great episode but the "almost tried to kill her brother" thing was a bit too much, specially when she's not a Souma, so there's no tragic supernatural stuff going on behind the scenes where it makes a lot more natural to accept such tragic things and attitudes, there was really not much of a reason why her parents would think the girl was trying to kill a baby while putting a blanket, and the scene showing was also like "okay, are these parents retarded or something?", also Machi, hating perfect things don't excuse you for having such a dirty room lol [...] Well, the parents of Matchi were just searching for an excuse to get rid of her. Like Matchi said, they never tried to understand nor listen to her. They already had a false image of her, so of course they were totally sure she was jealous of her brother. Or maybe not sure, but they convinced themselves since the boy'd gonna make them rich. They need him to get the money and Matchi is no more use for them. Yep, disgusting parents. For the room, it may also be due to depression/feeling unwell. Yes to all of that they probably just wanted a reason to "get her out of the picture" since they no longer needed her which is why they refused to even listen to her side And lets not forget that she also started having those episodes where she would break stuff... They could have started to think of her as a problem child or smth because of that |
| When you even feel for the minor characters in a series with such a stacked cast, then that's quite an achievement. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Damn Yuki breaking and mending hearts this episode. Machi found herself the perfect imperfect one. Also Minagawa-senpai's confession and her role in appraising Yuki was commendable. Made me realize that being someone's object of adoration isn't that bad.(Something now I came to realize after so many years.) Imperfect pieces put together. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I'm not a shipper, but I ship it. That's all I'm gonna say. |
| Are there any still-living parents in this show who aren't complete and utter trash? Seriously, I swear basically all of our main characters have abusive parents, and while it's certainly impactful every time I'm absolutely sick and tired of it at this point. It's just the same emotional well over and over again, for the same reasons over and over again. In this instance, some of the dialogue aimed at Machi by her mother was so overblown that I couldn't take it seriously at all: "have a perfect personality and perfect grades" is so comically over the top that it lost any emotional impact it could have had for me. This obsession with abusive parents is like Stephen King's obsession with bully characters: doesn't the author have any other ideas for giving characters tragic backstories than giving them crappy parents? That being said, this is some much-needed development for Machi and really makes it obvious what the two main ships are going to end up being; I'm very happy with both of them, as well. |
| jesus for a second there I thought Akito had killed Rin with the scissors, but she (probably) just cut her own hair |
   Skibbidy skib skib skaa say "NO" to fanservice |
| Damn hearing about Matchi's past really made me feel so sad for her, like she didnt deserve the hate she gets. ;-; That ending song tho made it feel like its been a journey seeing Tohru and them going through Highschool it was great. I wonder what's up with Akito and the Scissor she was holding on at the very end. |
