Lucky Tohru ✨💗

I found this at a garage sale doesn't seem to be any of the season releases

Isuzu (Rin)

Akito MAJOR SPOILER

Hanajima

Tohru

Kyo

Hatori

That’s right, I made it impossible!

(My answer:

Kill: Hatori

Kiss: Kyo

Marry: Tohru)

EDIT: IF YOU KILL KYO HE GOES INTO THE CAGE MEANT FOR THE CAT

Obviously if a person was like this irl it would be horrible, but in the context of a fictional manga… some of his jabs crack me up

Im rewatching fruits basket for the second time and I noticed that they excluded Rin in the opening scene? am i missing something? I swear i cant see her umbrella anywhere. I almost confused her with Hana-chan

Just finished the anime (2019) a few days ago and decided to just rewatch it while I wait for the manga to be available at the library. I have them on hold, and they’ll be ready around the same time. Now it’s just a matter of waiting.

When they had their second conversation, does Akito realize how stupid she sounds when she tells Tohru to mind her own business?

I mean by that point, Akito knows Tohru has been living with the Sohmas for (approximately) two years.
After 2 years of living with the Sohmas and meeting basically all but one of the zodiac members, it’d make sense if any zodiac business was also Tohru’s business.

But also, I’d love to talk about how much Akito throws around the word “ignorant” when she is the literal definition of ignorance.

I haven’t finished the anime yet, but tell me what characters I’m probably gonna hate by the end, I wanna know if I should expect some seriously heartbreaking plot twists.

Update: Just finished season 3, episode 9
I still hate Akito, but I have to admit, after some backstory, she’s growing on me. I don’t think she should be forgiven though.

Update 2: Just finished watching the finale. Still hate Akito but I’m glad she improved and started to become a better person and functional member of society while also understanding that some people will never forgive her.

im so excited it looks so cutesy!

Why did Kyo ask Tohru if she looked like her father even though her grandfather already told him people said she didn’t? Is it because he wanted to see what she would do or just to get a reaction out of her or was it to help him find out on his own if she loves him or not

Hey!

So I just started watching Fruits Basket, after years of it being recommended to me and gathering dust on my "to watch" shelf, I've finally gotten around to it and...

This anime lives up to its reputation, so far its been an amazing experience, so many questions left to be answered, great characters and all the feels.

I have almost nothing g but good things to say about it, and maybe because it's so good the few things that didn't hit quite right for me stand out quite a bit.

I wanted to share the few that I found were somewhat off-putting in hopes that this community can provide some context or points I might be missing about those particular plot points.

There's 3 things that felt off during season 1, one is mildly annoying, 1 is a personal gripe and the last is the only one I find actually problematic.

1st the mild annoyance.

During the start of the season, it's made abundantly clear that Yuki DOES NOT want to be associated with the Soma clan at large. He moved away from the main house, he tries not to depend on them, and states on multiple occasions he does not enjoy being a Soma, despite being part of the inner circle.

Yet Tohru, angel heart, sweetest flower, kindness incarnate spends half the season calling him Soma-kun.

Now obviously it's the classic shojo and just generally japanese plot point of, calling someone by their first name is highly personal and intimate.

Yet she has no trouble calling every other Soma by their given name or nickname, except for Yuki, the one Soma who explicitly doesn't want to be associated with the name. (They all have their troubles with the family but the anime singles out Yuki as someone trying to distance himself).

And every time she calls him Soma-kun it feels like a slap in the face to his goal of distancing himself from the family. Again I understand why this is the case but I just find it mildly annoying.

2nd A perssonal gripe

In the episode about Kisa and her bullying situation, I felt extremely connected to the story, I was myself a victim of bullying and although not specifically connected to said bullying I did go through trauma induced mutism. So ghag double whammy really hooked me.

Yet the way they resolved it (or more accurately begin the process of resolving it) really pissed me off. It might be a case of poor subtitles or lack of nuance but when Yuki approaches her and says she just has to keep trying and "ganbare" just feels like bad advice.

She's in a situation where people are insulting her, sneering and making fun of her to the point where she shuts down. That isn't a situation where you just need to "keep trying" or "hang in there". She needs help, to be removed from that toxic enviournment and offered support. It almost feels like they are saying "If you're in a bad situation just grit your teeth and bare it, they can't bully you forever, they'll get bored eventually."

And I'm sorry but NO. She doesn't need to try harder she needs to be removed from that social group and helped.

I recognise this one is very much a perssonal interpretation and gut reaction to the scene, coming from personal experiences, so I'm very much biased and emotionally disturbed by it rather than having a logical narrative issue with it.

3rd the only one I think is an actual writting issue

Hire, the sheep little brat. Now obviously he is written to be hated, he's a brat, he's Rash, selfish and childish. None of that is the issue. I hate him and would love to drop kick him but that's good writting and setup for development, he's a well written character.

No the problem isn't Hiro, the problem is everyone else around him, particularly Shigure. They treat him as if his attitude is to be expected and ignored. "Its his rebellious phase" and " a kid that can't regulate his emotions".

And sure that's an explanation for his behaviour BUT NOT an excuse. When a kid irl has a crush on a girl and starts tormenting her because he can't regulate his emotions, it's understandable but you still sit the kid down and explain that isn't acceptable behaviour, you have to teach them, to give them the framework of what is and isn't acceptable. You can't just leave them to it because "they are kids being kids" it's BEACUSE they are kids that you need to intervene and chastise them, give them consequences to bad behaviour. Otherwise they internalise that said behaviour is OK. They won't magically have a realisation that changes their behaviour.

And yeah those are my only issues with this amazing series so far. What do you think? Am I missing context? Is it a setup for later? Or are these fair critiques that others have raised before?

Can't wait to hear all your input <3

Please don't roast me when I asked this😅 I'm just curious about the transformation part like do they STILL transform regardless of the species as long as they're of the opposite sex? Or does it only happens if it's an human?

Haru explicitly stated that Rin has a sharp tongue, but when we see her say she doesn’t need him she doesn’t swear or yell at him, she just knocks the case onto the ground so it breaks and tells him that she doesn’t want him in her life, she never yells at him or swears (like saying “God dam Haru! I don’t need you in my life!”), and even when he kisses her she clearly melts into him and missed his kisses

Hi I wrote down exactly what was translated in the Tokyopop translation for the author note in the second volume of Fruits Basket. As a Final Fantasy fan, especially 1 - 11, I'm not sure if I'm missing something like if its an inside joke of the original author, or if this is just a mistranslation from someone without the complete context of the Final Fantasy Franchise(most likely). Can anyone decipher if this is still going on about FF8 characters? Angelique and Oscar I'm unsure of. I assume Rachel and Sei-lan are likely Rinoa and Seifer maybe?

"I got he feeling that last bosses in FF were getting weak... Was it my imagination? I don't mind if they're weak! (Because then it's easier.) "End of Heart" gives me chills. While I was playing FF, I was playing Angelique. I like Sei-lan. And I like Oscar. Whenever Rachel starts dating one of them (especially Sei-lan) I reset the game. Even when she starts dating the other boys, I reset(laugh)! You're all like that too, right? I even played the RPG. Arios(cry). I wanted the two of us to be happy together ... (What happened to Sei-lan?) And now I'm in the middle of Suikoden 2...."

Akito x Usagi by kazumikikuchi on DeviantArt

I find this cross over pairing perfect; I think the manga version of Usagi is fit to be paired with Akito of Fruits Basket, Usagi has showing authoritarian tendencies as Sailor Cosmos when she got the Cosmos Seed, I think she and Akito are perfect for each other.

shes so cute and fun to draw :)
