There is a lot going on in Fruits Basket now that Tohru and the Somas have returned to school. And while “Sure Thing” and “I Should Just Die” are focused mostly on Yuki, both episodes provide some great introspection on some of the side characters, including Haru, Rin, and the newly-reintroduced Kakeru. -Read our before commenting.

I love all the Somas (except Akito), but if forced to pick a favorite, I would find myself waffling between two – Kyo and Hatori. Isn’t it convenient that being a week behind in my reviews again means that I get to talk about both of them so much in one post? “All Mine” focuses […]

Tohru’s interaction with Akito in “Who Are You” is not the first time they’ve met, but it is seemingly the first time Tohru has put any kind of thought into Akito’s place in the Zodiac. The last time they met, it was unintentional, Tohru stepping in to protect Yuki. This time, Akito’s jealousy leads to […]

Reviewing “Well, It’s True” and “My Precious…” together is a bit of a challenge, because tonally they are very different – almost at opposite ends of the spectrum. “Well, It’s True” contains a lot of fun, flighty, light-heartedness while “My Precious…” heaps on the angst and drama. But they have a common thread that ties […]

“Let’s Start the Watermelon Splitting Contest” isn’t quite the upbeat fluff parade its title would suggest, but it instead hints at Shigure’s machinations, reveals just how twisted this family truly is, and gives us a little more insight into Akito’s relationship with the rest of the Somas. -Read our before commenting.

At last, it has arrived! The beach house arc! This is one of my favorite arcs in the series, and “Are you really this stupid?” proves that Fruits Basket is possibly the only anime (except for something like Free!) that will give you actual character development in a beach episode. -Read our before commenting.

“Wait for me, tororo soba!” is almost quintessential Fruits Basket. It has Yuki and Kyo bickering over Tohru while Momiji slips in there and steals her out from under them, Hatsuharu being… Hatsuharu, and the introduction of a new character with a tragic backstory that will break your heart – and I’m not talking about the […]

“I Got Dumped…” shines the character development spotlight on Hatsuharu, who so far has mostly been relegated to the background while everyone else got a focus. Haru has been instrumental in other characters having their moments (Kisa, Yuki), so it’s nice to see him getting his own episode. -Read our before commenting. Do not copy […]

We’re back at another Yuki episode after last week’s Kyo-centric one, and this time we get some Ayame as well! “Shall We Go and Get You Changed” has Yuki and Tohru visiting Ayame’s shop for the first time with sexy results. -Read our before commenting.

“Eat Somen with Your Friends” is an episode with a subject matter that would hit hard under normal circumstances. But considering the current situation, and the uncertainty we are facing on a global scale, this week’s Fruits Basket was just a little more anxiety-inducing than usual. -Read our before commenting.
