This ep has lots of Kagura service because it's the first time she appears!
Am I the only one who thinks Kagura looks a loooot like Tohru? In the preview last time I couldn't tell them apart until they announced her name or I saw them together or something. XD Must be the hair colour, bangs, and faces that throw me off...
So yeah, good episode. I actually couldn't figure out which animal from the Zodiac Kagura was until the end either. :P
holy boar, i loved that ep. how come more people haven't commented this show is really popular?
kagura reminded me of shion from higurashi, nice one minute, crazy phsycho lady the next. My kinda girl
You're not very clever, Toru :P
That one was pretty easy to guess.
It seem like Toru is more attracted to Yuki as of right now. She also seem closer to him and more comfortable around him. We'll see. Yuki is... weird. But he's probably not as manipulative as I thought he was at the beginning. He just show barely any emotions at all, which make it hard to figure what he's thinking.

Okay to be blunt, she is an abuser. She treats Kyo like Kyo treats his worst enemy. I would think would be necessary to ask what if the genders were reversed, but apparently it is.
been so long since I watched this, but I rewatched it since they are remaking this lovely anime. Honestly this episode I did like it when kagura wasn't being annoying. Sorry if people like her but she is one of my least favorite characters, not because she is underdeveloped I just can click with her. I'm more of a Kyo fan anyways. Tohru is a true sweetheart in this episode and if kagura wasn't as emotionally unstable as she was I would TOTALLY try to ship her with Kyo.
I like her, I've always thought she was funny but I get the feeling Kagura will be a wee bit controversial with new audiences like she was in this thread.
"Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job."
The Kagura character is very dated but let's not forget that this is a comedy. It wouldn't be funny if the roles were reversed - a boy roughing up a girl. Why? because it unfortunately happens too much in our world. However, it seems silly to me to call Kagura offensive. It's just parody an an unexpected role reversal. To add to the parody she showcases the other extreme too - having the stereotypical traits of the loving, caring wife-to-be. If this really goes against your morals than show some true integrity and drop the show.
Oh how fun this comment thread is. Learn what a character trope is and that this is fiction. Her character type is a staple in anime. It's not that deep. And if you think fruits basket doesn't portray several genuinely abusive women in a negative light boy are you in store for a surprise.
