Fruits Basket Collector's Edition
| I don't like her very much either, and the worst thing is that they will probably redeem her by contrasting with someone worse, that is Ren. I don't find that a good way to engage with a character. Besides that, her relationship with Shigure gave me yikes vibes. |
 |
| I hate Akito so much that I enjoy a normally terrible character like Ren just because she causes Akito grief. Seeing her in grief just makes me happy after what she did to Tohru and Kyou in S2. |

| I don't think I will like Akito by the end of the series...but I also don't think we're really supposed to. I don't exactly remember how the manga ends for the character....but meh. Totally agree that some characters are just irredeemable. Abusing other humans is a no-no. |
  |
| I really dislike her too and don't see any way of redeeming her, especially seeing how they are kinda going about it now, making it just poor girl being weak. We saw her do horrible stuff from gross emotional abuse to actual attempts to kill, the fact her mom hates her can explain stuff but doesn't redeem her, only she is responsible for things she did. And tbh I'm dreading the fact that there will most likely be no consequences for her actions, I don't get why horrible people always get away with stuff in shows just cause they had sad childhood, the rest of the cast had hard past too and everyone managed not to throw anyone out of a window, you just need some decency and Akito doesn't have that. |
| I completely despise her as a human being but she’s a very well-written character regarding of contributing the series interestingly. The romance between Shigure and her is absolutely disgusting and hella toxic. I still don’t like her parents tho that’s the thing. But still, it’s not her right to abuse the 12 members of the chinese zodiac in despair. |
VZLAluis said: Same for me. No matter what the circumstances of her growing up were, nothing justifies her past actions. Just because someone wasn't treated fairly during their childhood, doesn't mean you can harm and hurt everyone else, including Tohru. It is in no way an excuse.I just wanna leave this in writing off the rip. I know they are gonna try to redeem akito throughout this season, but there's nothing they can do to make me like her. Literally nothing. She might be top 10 hated characters of all time for me. |

Elyssse said: Yes, I was about to write something pretty much similar. Honestly I'm glad seeing that people aren't eager to change their opinion and switch sides just because suddenly we get to see that ooh, Akito is in pain too, of course she's angry now, it's just her defence. NO, PLEASE DON'T. Whatever bad happened to you it doesn't make you eligible to make those around you suffer too. Cause them traumas physical and emotional because you don't want them to leave you? Why not try to be loving to them and take care of them instead? Thqt usually works. But honestly, the way Akito was treated as a child has probably imprinted onto her as the only way to treat people around you to get what you want. In many ways that's how psychology works, it's like when you take over your parents manners because that's how you were raised and it might very likely be subconscious. But in the end there is always a way to work on yourself and choose your own path, there should be some sense of right a wrong for you. You can try to work on your problems. It depends on your will. And Akito never did that. I can't sympathize with a grown-up who knowingly and repeatedly abused children. And as for the romance with Shigure, that just really disgusts me. :/ Well said, I agree with everything you said here, even in the latest episode (2) they pointed out Akito is over 20 yo, probably so her relationship with Shigure doesn't look as bad lol, not that it helped btw, but she is a grown up adult abusing kids emotionally and physically. Bringing her mom into this like I said is a good way to develop her character but using a bad person to redeem another bad person is just disappointing. |
| Akito is my most favorite character in the series. I like her messing up everything and making an otherwise boring series interesting for me to watch. |

| It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime. Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others |
| It's hard not to hate her, lol. Just because you're in pain (because of your mom or whatever), it's NOT an excuse to inflicting pain to others either. She's so toxic but actually a good villain character tho... usually, the redeemable scene of Akito should be her death protecting zodiacs or smth, hope that happens. |
| She is a terrible person and a huge bitch. The way she treats everyone is deplorable and just cause she has a terrible past does not excuse her current and past actions. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I am very worried i may end up docking points for the series if they try to redeem her, its one thing to be unstable but she basically did attempted murder. It would be absurdly childish of this series to try and play it off like shes misunderstood cause of her past. If they are going to try and redeem her, they need to portray her as legitimately losing everything first, if its just a slap on the wrist thats a huge problem |

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 read the manga a couple times over since I grew up with it and I’ll tell you rn I can’t stand Akito. Some people fall for the redemption arc trap I see a lot of older manga set up to give a character some understanding but I find that more disturbing, especially in a psychological anime. |
| :) |
| I can see where there's a lot of hate toward Akito since she only values the cursed Sohma for her own self-gratification of feeling loved, while disregarding their personal feelings. Even with her back story revealed and how later events play out with her character's developments in the manga, I still found it hard personally to sympathize with Akito given the physical and emotional abuse and manipulation she inflicted on the other Sohmas. Still one of the better villains I seen out of anime and manga, but hard to care for given the issues she gave to the other cursed Sohma. |
| I do understand why Akito is irredeemable in the eyes of the majority of the people who post here but I can't feel anything but pity for her. She's clearly hurting herself. Then again I'm way more forgivable than most people. |

MercuryLamp_ said: I haven't watched the 2019 version of Fruits Basket but I've read all of the manga, so here are my thoughts. I don't know how much the first two episodes of the third season have covered, but I'm afraid I can't state my opinion in full without going into spoiler territory. So I suggest my opinion is read by fans who have finished the manga, too. I think I can understand her better now with this. In the end, I believe it will all come down to how they will handle her redemption. Even with all the explanation of why she is how she is - that, I emphasize, makes a lot of sense based on your analysis -, the important thing is if she will acknowledge her mistakes and try to make up for them. I don't want to see her be forgiven, by the Sohmas and us, the audience, just because of all those circumstances that you narrated. I want her to understand that she treated all of them badly, to apologize, and to try to fix, at least a little, the errors that she made. |
|
| I'm not up-to-date on this new anime and it's been a while since I last time reread the manga. But I remember last time I read it I really liked Akito, she was my favourite. |
| erm.. i don't hate akito since i recall her character arc to be sad but i don't exactly like her. she redeems herself pretty well in the end but her past actions are indeed unforgettable/unforgivable. |
 |
| I used really dislike her, until I read the manga, But now I can sympathize with her Also im not trying excuse her past actions at all, What she did was horrible, |

| I've been a Fruits Basket fan for nearly 10 years and lemme tell youuuuuuu, I always HATED Akito. I never felt like the manga wanted to redeem her but more so for us to understand her a bit better. She's an extremely well written antagonist and those scenes with Torhu in the summer house arc were PHENOMONAL. This season amps it up even further ahhh. |
| Oscar and Andre deserved better |
| Sucks that Akito's mother was a jerk but that doesn't excuse Akito's actions herself and there is nothing that can be done to redeem the character for me. No, you can't save spiteful bitches and you shouldn't feel sorry for them. I know it because it happened in my family. Don't waste decades of your life hoping they'll change because it won't happen. Cut the cancer out of your life and move on. They reap what they sow. Good on Hattori and Ayame for cutting Akito leaving and moving on with their lives. Kureno and Shigure have only themselves to blame for continuing to hang around Akito and suffering, and Akito has only herself to blame for everyone else leaving her. Ofcourse, the show is probably going to have a redemption arc where Akito magically becomes a nicer person and everyone hugs her and pats her on the head, but... bleh. How fanciful. |
| If she regrets her actions it’s enough for me. I just want redemption. And it’s not too late for her. On the other hand, Ren or Shigure regret nothing. I find it laughable how people hate Akito and still love Shigure or even accept Ren’s disgusting behavior. |
