2021-09-16 02:10:21 +0000 UTCUpdate: "Look at Shigure's face. Just having a great time... waiting for God's love." Well, Tohru is girl jesus. Shigure needs to redirect his attention and learn that instead of using Tohru as a pawn, he can learn from her Important thing I noticed is that some of the demons in the forest of Momiji's story look like animals of the zodiac. And the context of the story being about the traveler being taken advantage of out of her kindness reminds me of Shigure right now using her as a pawn. Even if the Somas used Tohru, I think she would honestly be grateful in some way. Which is unhealthy but also says a lot about her character.

2021-09-10 20:43:56 +0000 UTC@Nick This is a great idea and you should definitely do it lmao. Some of the quotes are just too good sometimes. Also yeah Yuki has been canonically shown already to be a crazy book worm and highly intelligent in terms of school stuff, so if Tohru is into that kinda thing romantically....although in this episode she was enjoying how Kyo was the one studying hard so, I guess its a plus for both of them in her mind.

2021-09-10 20:19:39 +0000 UTCYou might be onto something with your Tohru booksmarts theory... Yuki DOES read a lot of books... "Tohru is like girl jesus in a way" oh my god

2021-09-10 20:16:25 +0000 UTCI think the story collection that included "The Most Idiotic Traveller In The World" being called "Funny Stories" is some kind of commentary on how some people can't relate to others, and in fact, have no interest to. When you can't relate to someone or their story of woe, it's common to laugh it off as a "cautionary tale of an idiot" or a satire on someone - "there's no way anyone could be THAT gullible, to give away all their possessions and body parts for nothing in return." But when you *can* relate to it, you find the story horrific and sad. It's a "funny" story for people in Fruits Basket's world, because as you pointed out (perhaps accidentally, when referring to the story), the world outside of our core group of characters is cruel and has no interest in understanding or empathy. Things that are different get shunned. Or laughed at. Or both.

2021-09-10 05:04:09 +0000 UTCeverything is better in the sub, at this point it isnt even worth mentioning every episode, it just makes me sad lol

2021-09-10 04:37:10 +0000 UTCMomiji's original dub voice and sub voice (original and reboot) is so much better than this dubbed voice i get they are trying to get closer to the manga but it just doesn't have the same impact (also i guess this song is an anime original cuz it wasn't in the remake ;-; i miss it a lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_xzEq2NL88 ) Okami (owner of the hot springs) the outburst(s) are funnier in the sub and the original dub imo but i can't help but giggle cuz of how outrageous they are in this XD god fuck YUKI STOP BEING PRECIOUS...oh man this scene hit me harder on a rewatch oh my god the next ep is \that\ episode o.o

2021-09-10 02:49:52 +0000 UTCBest news of the show so far is Momiji and Haru going to there school next semester. Also yes, the revelation of Momiji's true age definitely changes the scene where he was trying to bathe and sleep with Tohru lmfao.
benj
2021-09-10 02:47:04 +0000 UTCYou are accidentally predicting endgame Fruits Basket lore, like Season Three stuff, without even knowing. Its too funny sometimes, obviously not gonna draw any attention to when you are doing it though. Also that Momiji story WTF I totally forgot about that, holy mother of darkness.

2021-09-10 02:29:31 +0000 UTCEven if it was I wouldn't mind to be honest. As long as I like the characters and they keep the good life stuff coming haha
Alex G
2021-09-10 02:04:49 +0000 UTCMakes sense especially on the heels of recent episodes with people like Shigure clearly plotting something for her
Alex G
2021-09-10 02:04:22 +0000 UTCAnd it really landed haha
Alex G
2021-09-10 02:03:48 +0000 UTCYeah I completely agree. I think season 2 and 3 aren’t as bad with that
Megan
2021-09-10 01:41:27 +0000 UTClol at this point in the series Tohru is 16 and Shigure is 26, i love Fruits Basket but i really wish they'd lay off the weird jokes about grown men being attracted to high schoolers. it's definitely a product of its time

2021-09-10 01:36:49 +0000 UTCThe fact that Yuki has never laughed in front of his own parents is really sad to me lol
Megan
2021-09-10 01:36:13 +0000 UTCalso about there being "new contenders" for her heart, i promise this isn't the type of story where all the guys just fall in love with her lol, in fact romance isn't even really the main point of the story, especially in the early episodes. i think especially now the story is just about human connections, with some cute romantic-esque moments sprinkled in if that makes sense
Francesca White
2021-09-10 01:35:27 +0000 UTCi think part of the importance of the foolish traveler story is it's kind of a cautionary tale for Tohru and people like her if not surrounded by people who care. for example, in the New Years episode, Tohru was almost left alone to cry, and the boys wouldn't have known because she masks her feelings so much with a smile. on top of that, think of the horrible things that could've happened to Tohru if the wrong people had found her in the woods. there's so much danger for people like Tohru in the world, so it's important for loved ones to take care of her. i think that's why Momiji took her to the hot springs, why all the boys gave her a gift and made her feel like a princess.
Francesca White
2021-09-10 01:31:56 +0000 UTCabout Yuki calling her Princess, earlier in the episode Tohru was talking about how going to the hot springs made her feel like a princess, so he was just playing off of that to try and make her feel like a princess more on the trip if that makes sense
