2022-01-28 04:19:52 +0000 UTCYou mentioned in another post that your mother started watching FB. Have any interesting discussions spawned from her watch of the show? Has she brought up any insights that surprised you?

2022-01-27 17:23:41 +0000 UTCWhich episode did you find yourself relating to the most? For me personally watching the “Eat Somen with your friends” episode amidst college application season was sort of cathartic.

2022-01-26 19:26:25 +0000 UTCWhich character do you think had the most complete journey? Which one was your favourite? Looks like there's a prequel movie called Fruits Basket: Prelude slated to come out too if you haven't heard!

2022-01-26 18:59:13 +0000 UTCWhy do you think Kyo was the only one that got another animal form even when they all drank from the same sake cup?

2022-01-26 03:51:17 +0000 UTC1. Which main character arc was the most compelling for you (Tohru, Yuki, Kyo)? How about of the side characters (Zodiac, Akito, school friends)? 2. Which character introduction and/ or backstory did you like the most?

2022-01-26 03:15:39 +0000 UTCShort version: Thoughts comparing Akito with the other big villains that you have seen? Long Version: In watching your reaction, it occurred to me that Akito wants to be a commanding presence over the zodiac, wants the presence that King Bradley had in FMAB, but does not have that power. As outside observers we see how weak her hold was outside the bond. What are your thoughts contrasting Akito with Bradley, Firelord Ozai, or All For One, (Or any other villains you have seen?)
Joseph Phillips
2022-01-25 22:09:56 +0000 UTCDo you feel akito's redemption was rushed or forced? I've seen many reactors not like the angle that akito had only a few episodes dedicated to her redemption arc. Thoughts?

2022-01-25 18:01:31 +0000 UTCWould you consider reading the manga for the parts that were skipped over in the anime?
Vikki Nguyen
2022-01-25 13:19:25 +0000 UTCWhat were your favorite moments for each character of the main trio? (Tohru, Yuki, Kyo) (In case you have trouble picking, it can be more than one per character xD)
Ana
2022-01-25 07:30:06 +0000 UTCagreed, shigure is also my favorite character. i was pretty shocked to find out how many people actually hate him or dislike him on here.
benj
2022-01-25 05:25:35 +0000 UTChow has your opinion on shigure changed throughout the show? do you still like him as a character? I personally think hes probably my fav, a lot of people just take his character at face value imo and miss what makes him so complex and interesting
Amber
2022-01-25 03:58:33 +0000 UTCWhere was your favorite *major* fruits basket setting? Examples include but are not limited to... the Sohma estate (Akito scary scenes be scary, also glasslighting and backstory scenes), the Sohma beach vacation home (arguably the best "Arc" in the entire show), Shigure's house with the main 4 (Classic, always feels good in that house with the group), the School (so much happens here, mainly Yuki development and student council stuff tho), etc.
benj
2022-01-25 03:04:53 +0000 UTCInevitably in a show w as many characters as this, some characters and relationships may fall by the wayside or not get as satisfying a conclusion as others. Is there any aspect of the endgame and wrap-up montage that you wish would have been expanded upon? I kinda wanted Tohru's friends to find out about the curse for some reason idk.
CRS
2022-01-25 00:13:54 +0000 UTCIt seems like you're a big Evangelion fan, in what way do you think these two stories relate the most?
Inês Dias
2022-01-24 23:54:11 +0000 UTCWould you ever read the manga?( hehe) And what are your final thoughts about Shigure and his character arc? How do you feel about Kyo and Tohru? I know you sort of just accepted it but i feel like we didn't get your full thoughts on their relationship. 👀
Crystalrose
2022-01-24 21:48:31 +0000 UTCwhat are your thoughts of Rin Sohma's arc, learning how to accept the support she needs from Haru and Tohru and not shouldering everything on her own? also, do you think she was wrong in saying she'll never forgive Akito?
Francesca White
2022-01-24 21:38:19 +0000 UTCOne of the biggest issues with Fruits Basket (2019) anime adaptation i've witnessed often is that both anime-only fans and manga fans have disliked the fast pacing of the last season. Do you feel as though the 13 episodes of Season 3 was too quick of a climax and resolution? Contrariwise, others have said that the fast pacing made it more exciting. What are your thoughts? :D

2022-01-24 17:47:30 +0000 UTCtl;dr: Who, if any, of the zodiac (before OR after the curse broke) would eat of their respective animal?/Would Kagura eat bacon? And now the long version: Ok, at no point in the show (to my knowledge) does any member of the zodiac eat meat from their animal. BUT. We do see Kyo holding a rice ball shaped as a cat and he thinks along the lines of "This feels wrong" or "Is this cannabilism?". So, do the other zodiac members also hesitate? Yes, there's not much chance to eat tiger, seahorse, or snake, but what of the members who embody common food? Does Hatsuharu cringe everytime he passes a McDonald's? Is all of his leather fake? Is milk really, really weird to him? Would Kagura eat bacon? Did Hiro get phantom pains and/or cry upon learning of the existence of haggis? What does Momiji think of wild hare being exotic cuisine? Does Kureno like KFC? Is his view of eating his own animal diluted because his curse has been broken for so long? We know that the zodiac has no issue with eating meat from *other* animals. Yuki, Shigure, and Kyo all eat meat pretty regularly at the house. Kagura makes hamburg steak in her introduction episode. Hatsuharu orders chicken wings in season three. At one point, Momiji proposes barbeque (did Hatsuharu actually eat any? I don't remember). While standing in the sprinkler, Hatsuharu talks of the wonders of ginger pork. Are some members fine with eating their animal? Are others repulsed by it? Did anyone flip sides after the curse broke? From not eating to eating, or eating to not eating? Is this a known prank among the Somas? Rin lived at Kagura's for quite a while. If she pissed her off enough, would Rin sprinkle bacon bits into her food? Assuming that while the curse was still active, a zodiac member was, in fact, fine with the eating of the flesh of their animal, would they utilise this privilege? i.e. Would and could a character attract their animal for the express purpose of butchering and eating the animal? Such an ability would make food free and easy to acquire, not to mention extremely fresh and high-quality. Which characters, if any, do you think would do any of the above? Is this a touchy subject among the zodiac and Somas? Does Tohru know, or has she even considered it? I thank you for your consideration.

2022-01-24 17:46:11 +0000 UTC- Favorite intro and outro? - There was a lot of controversy on whether you should watch the sub or dub of fruits basket, are you happy you choose the dub? - What do you think the core messages and themes of fruits baskets are and how do you relate them to your own life? - This was the first shojo/romance anime you’ve reacted too, how have the theme of Fruits Basket been similar or different to the shonen/action anime you’ve reacted too. - What’s your opinion on Tohru and Kyo’s relationship as a whole? - Which characters would you get along with the most in real life? - Do you plan on rewatching Fruits Basket at some point?

Bhupinder brar
2022-01-24 15:05:08 +0000 UTCI’m genuinely interested in this as well! I have friends who still argue that not enough was done against Akito and yet they are fine with Endeavor’s atonement arc. I wonder what the main differences are and if Goodwin has a better way of explaining it to us.
Mattie Grandstaff
2022-01-24 14:55:42 +0000 UTCRomance! There are so many relationships in this show from Mayu and Hatori to Yuki and Machi. What were your thoughts on having so many kinds of relationships that all stemmed from completely different needs? What was your favorite ship, as well?

2022-01-24 13:23:08 +0000 UTCHow do you feel about FruBas themes of rehabilitive justice? Many readers viewers are not able to accept Akito is not punished or in jail. The police are never involved.

2022-01-24 12:34:19 +0000 UTCHow did you initially perceive Fruits Basket and how have your perceptions changed as you watched each season? What was the most shocking/surprising/intense moment or scene for you? Rather than learning something new, did any of the lessons/morals actually make you change your mind about any beliefs/ideologies/opinions you already had?
