This episode was completely different compared to the original anime of this. I was surprised that Kagura knows how to cook. My memory's kinda hazy but didn't the original anime she didn't know how to do chores nor cook?

I prefer the original episode of this but this is still funny

love the delivery man hahaha

Man, I remember hating Kagura first time reading/watching Furuba, but I had so many laughs during this episode, I can't really be angry with her xD Her over the top tsundere personality works perfectly, even though I dislike seeing Kyou hurt, her basically juggling him made me almost cry from laughter.

So yeah, I guess Kagura may appear every now and then to push characters and their relationships further and make me lol a few times. Not to often though!

Kagura, the childhood friend of Kyou the cat. Just remove her weird habit of beating up people and she is perfect.

Kagura being the boar was rather unexpected. Nice episode. Didn't think that Kyo couldn't defend against Kagura tho

I’m probably the only one who likes and sympathizes with Kaguras character over Tohru. I think there’s quite a big difference between abuse and slapstick in anime. For those familiar with manga canon- Spoiler-

it’s *Akitos* character that is truly abusive- and in Kaguras defense, she never really understood her feelings and actions towards Kyo until closer to the end of the series.

Heh, I thought Kagura was pretty cool. Also a perfect role for Kugimiya Rie. While the small arc she goes through in this episode really isn't anything special or new, it was still entertaining and well-paced.

Kagura sure was an entertaining character but not a quite memorable one if I'm honest. And although her antics were enjoyable to some extent, I'm a bit glad her stay with Kyou and co. only lasted one day. Her zodiac form is beyond adorable tho.

Anyways, it was another nice episode.

Love Kyo-kun's fist bump to Tohru's head hehe C: it was cute back then and it's still cute now ^.^

I wish I didn't know all the spoilers, but oh wells. This ver is much longer running. I stopped the manga at volume 11 years ago. Hopefully the completed series is adapted C:

I liked that episode a lot. I am always impressed at how Toohru's intense emotions and thoughts get to me, and I admire her and look forward to seeing more aspects of her, not just what she can bring out in others.
I guess there is no helping comparing with the manga and former anime version, but every creative piece exists in its own right and I don't think it is fair to compare the different versions.
The violence in that episode...gosh it made me quite uneasy (I think I feel the same way as Toohru about it XD). Is it me or is Kyou just going to be the weakest one in the family even though he is super strong if you compare him to a more average person? He definitely has it tough XD
My chest tightened in the last moments, I cannot remember what happens afterwards! Looking forward to the next episode!

Finally started watching this for the first time after dabbling in the manga slightly as a kid.

Expected: Already am crushing on Kyo and living for the dynamic between him and Tohru.

Unexpected: Absolutely loving Tohru's character. She made me cry in the very first episode, when she was talking about her mom... her optimism could annoy some people after a while, but I find her so genuine and sweet. There isn't a bad bone in her body. She's just an angel, and somehow makes me want to be a better person.

Oh how fun some of the people this comment thread must be. Learn what a character trope is and that this is fiction. Her character type is a staple in anime. It's not that deep. And if you think fruits basket doesn't portray several genuinely abusive women in a negative light boy are you in store for a surprise.

Vibes the same as Kagura from Gintama. I guessed right in my mind that she was a boar, but I didn't expect her to be this smol and cute

The house being destroyed was fine, but the food; it was such a waste

Tohru and Kyou's moment on the rooftop was very touching. I can relate so much to Tohru's ideology with the pickled plum metaphor and about thinking that you have someone they are just far away. I may be wrong but I can already sense the love triangle forming between Yuki, Tohru, and Kyou coming and I hate it, I don't enjoy the love triangle trope at all. But, I am going to look past that and so far it is a very good series and something that I haven't seen before.

I just want to say I am glad that anime has moved on from abusive relationships being played as comedic, and that we are able to call it out now. Abusive relationships exists, but Tooru asking Kyou to appreciate Kagura because she loves him is really not a good message to send. You have the right to refuse and avoid toxic relationships.

from some reason, maybe because of the pace, the anime feels it's lack of "meat".

Well, we were introduced to a brand new zodiac character, which was cool. The boar is the cutest zodiac animal yet

Kagura is insane though. Absolutely bonkers. You can't help but feel sorry for her. She is obviously a bit lonely, while having a lot of anger in her, and all she wants to do is be with Kyo, even if he doesn't necessarily feel the same way.

But she also has a really sweet side. Always seeing the good in people, which is something that I can relate to, because it is something that I do, even when people have really hurt me. I guess we just both try to focus on the good memories rather than the bad. Maybe we should take off our rose tinted glasses more often.

No similarities between Tohru and I this episode. Maybe next episode.

I don't know if she'll change later in the series, but based only on this episode, Kagura may very well be one of my most disliked characters in a long while. I really don't understand how anyone can like someone whose only way of showing love is by being extremely violent with the person she's supposedly in love with. I really hope she isn't a major character in the story or that she changes a lot later, because I think I may drop the show just because of her.

Kagura. Kagura, Kagura, Kagura. Where to begin with you? She's evidently gotten mixed reactions from a lot of people here. Some people enjoyed her, some people hated her. Me? Well I enjoyed her antics with Kyo but I wouldn't say I enjoyed or hated her as a character so I'm kind of in the middle here. Not sure how many times she appeared in the original anime but I'm pretty sure the reactions were like that even then. But it was worth seeing this episode for the rooftop moment with Tohru and Kyo that was pretty sweet. Cuz now we get to see the latter's softer side here. While yeah it's quite iffy that her actions of beating Kyo up even though Kagura loves him is out of nowhere but I feel like she's confused maybe about her feelings? If that makes any sense. But at the same time I doubt she's like a main factor in the story if I've got my facts right. Otherwise I liked the episode, not the best but still liked it regardless.

The spotlight on the budding, complex relationship between Kyo and Kagura was both hilarious and touching. Kagura's whirlwind presence and her dynamic with Kyo added so much depth to what we know about the Zodiac members. Her intense, 'love hurricane' approach contrasted with Kyo's reactions had me laughing out loud, yet there's this sweet sincerity to their interactions that's just too adorable. ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ— Seeing how their relationship unfolds amidst the chaos and tenderness really highlights the show's unique charm. This series just keeps getting better, blending humor with heart in ways I didn't see coming. Can't wait to dive into the next episode!โค๏ธ

Kagura is probably my least favorite of all the Soumas. I've just never cared for her character at all. *sigh* I guess I'm going to be in the minority.


I'm anime only, but I'm willing to bet I'll feel the same after meeting them all. That character archetype gets old real fast. I only end up feeling bad for Kyou and hating Kagura. Thank god she's gone. And I serious question Tooru's character for saying she want's to be like Kagura.

Also "it's every girls dream to get married" or whatever Tooru said. Please. I can at least accept that as the type of person she is, but it doesn't stop me from rolling my eyes upon reading it.
@ProofByColor I can honestly understand why Tohru would admire some of her traits. Kagura wants something and declares it with her entire being. Such people can be overbearing at times, but as someone who represses their feelings (similar to Tohru), I can understand wanting to get a bit more outgoing.

I don't like Kagura very much. Shes kinda annoying her joke isn't that endearing and the running gag of Kyo getting beat up has worn down on me already. It's not that funny that he trained so hard in the mountains apparently and he just sucks. Not that i want this to be a shounen fight show. Absolutely not. This is a shoujo. I know what to expect from them and i do prefer character drama to action. I just figured it would be more evenhanded. Like one of those "they fought 100 times their record is 50:50" but nope.
