Damn, I felt bad for Machi this episode with the gossip about her.

It's nice that Yuki cares to come visit and support her though. Tbh, he's probably one of the most important person in her life now. Glad this season took time to develop their relationship further. It was tough seeing her fragile side but that's part of her character. This episode was quite a rollercoaster of emotions.

"What makes a guy attractive is his Bank account" TRUE FACTS... LMAO
And yes, Felt really bad for Machi there. A child must never suffer because of a parent's expectations. But, I'm glad at least Yuki is nice to her and being supportive to her even tho no one else likes her. Just a little compliment from a person could've made such a huge impact on her life. Well, Yuki has always been a caring character even for Minagawa there. She's been quite a funny character in the whole show but watching her cry like that made me sad.
Honestly, I'm glad Machi x Yuki's ship is sailing.

Machi, Yuki, and Minagawa were the MVPs this time for sure. Such a strong, emotional episode!

Minagawa is honestly such a great character.

That was such a nice episode, with machi finally having someone accept who she is and the senpia confessing her feelings without wanting an answer and the treasurer dude doing the same thing so she understood his feelings well but then that end tho, hit like a truck with akito coming out of a room with a pair of scissors after speaking about someone being missing

Back to the Student Council, and as always, Yuki is the centre of attention. What a girl must find in a guy is his bank account...and that's true (and this is added as an anime-original dialogue, which is also true). Playing tease with Nao is just fun.

As if Machi's staining record isn't done, Kakeru is still in his playful mode around Yuki, even going to her house for a surprise visit. The amount of terror and pain in her life cannot be understated, of perfectionist expectations from toxic parents, not to mention the social withdrawal symptoms we've seen her from Season 2. Yuki being able to support and complement her from time to time again despite of her flaws, it only shows that he is the right person for Machi.

Preparing for the graduation ceremony, and with tears overflowing from the parting, especially with Kimi and the rest of the Student Council.

The last scene which looked like Akito's mother locking up Isuzu...better have every reason to be worried.

This show never disappoints ever. Another great episode, loved how it focused on Machi this time around, also the ending was great and cleared some things up for the seniors.

I like this episode in the aspect that everyone has their own problems, every family has its own problem. This anime just focus on Soma family more than others, but it doesn't mean other people are in less severe situation than Soma family.

Machi making me emotional her backstory is depressing. They did a good job adapting her backstory also using a visual representation showing her on a thin line having to be perfect. Yuki helping her pour out her feelings they are both adorable together.
Minagawa finally got to say her feelings out to Yuki since its graduation day.
There are goodbyes but there also new meetings. Like how Hiro'sbaby sister, Hinata, is born he can't hug though since he'll transform but no worries since his mother we'll hug both of her children.
They cut out some parts but also added an anime-only scene too.

A very Yuki centric episode this week, aside from a fee brief scenes at the end of the episode. Yuki hearing that awful rumor about Machi at school leading to him and Kakeru giving her a visit. We got an explanation as to why Machi makes messes all the time. Which was hinted at back in season two when we heard her and Kakeru childhood backstory. Speaking of backstory, super messed up how Machi parents basically just casted her aside after her little brother was born. Getting into their heads she tried to kill him when she just worried he got too cold. Its really sad to see something like that, add some more to the list of horrible Fruits Basket parents. Yuki comforting her saying she's done a good job made my heart melt. Those words are all Machi has wanted to hear for years but no one ever did until Yuki. Him breaking the piece of chalk in the council meeting cast it even better, he knows something perfect like that upset her so him breaking that piece to set her at ease was too sweet.

The section of the episode about Motoko and Nao wasn't my favorite really since I have no attachment to Motoko and No is just sort of a funny punching bag of a character. But it was sweet so nothing awful. Hiro meeting his new baby sister was really sweet. Talked about terrible parents earlier thankfully Hiro has a great mom, saying she would just hug both of them after hes transformed. Kagura speaking with Shigure and Hatori setting up the next few episodes asking about where is Isuzu. With that tease of Akito leaving the cat prison with flows of long hair falling down.

All Machi ever wanted was to be accepted and cared for. She was never able to receive praise or comfort from her parents as they did not accept her for who she is despite Machi's attempts to fulfill their wishes. Glad Yuki was able to take some of that weight off her shoulders and comfort her. All it took were a couple of words.

Aaaaaah the Machi episode I was waiting for. And they really delivered it. Great episode again. Machi finally found the person who would understand her. Yuki being there to support her. I just love the moments between Yuki and Machi.

Next week Rin episode. Let's go.

Machi & Yuki got the spotlight this week and it was bootiful! They have such a tentative but tender bond with each other and I just love the way Yuki shows that to her through the smallest actions, like breaking the chalk. I wonder if he'll ever realise that he's doing for her just what Tohru did for him?

Honestly kind of forgot about the ringleader of Yuki's little fanclub, but it's good that she got a little closure before graduating. Takei as well.

An episode focused on Machi and Yuki’s developing relationship and the graduating seniors. It was nice to see some of the side characters get proper send-offs like the head girl of the Yuki fan club. Machi’s backstory with her mentally abusive parents explains her outbursts against perfect things and further shows how she is the perfect match for Yuki since they both had similar trauma.

Yuki x Machi's so sweet, their moment was really precious. Thou damn Kakeru ruined it with his ringtone lol. Also it was nice of Yuki to break the chalk for machi.

Motoko and Yuki moment was quite touching, she was a fun girl and I hope even after graduation we'll see her in future. Also I wonder if Nao x Motoko ship will ever sail.

That last scene was concerning, did that Akito bitch cut Rin's hair ffs?

Everyone is trying to come to terms with their feelings, Machi, and the other two that confessed for each others happiness.

Other than Machi's sad backstory, the last half of the episode was really wholesome.

So many times I wanted to go inside the screen and punch Machi's parents, Oh well most of the parents in this anime are trash they deserve to go to hell anyway I loved all Yuki x Machi moments, I'm glad Yuki is there for her, my girl deserves all the happiness in the world and Akito bitch no matter how much you have suffered it still doesn't justify the things you did to everyone

Yuki and Machi are soooo cute and Nao and Motoko are soooo cute xD he shoulda just confessed geeze. Don't worry, Nao, I LOVE SHORT BOYS...cause I am short too haha

Motoko's confession of "thank you and be happy" was super mature. She comes off as a shallow fangirl at the beginning but she's actually not. I love this kind of writing.

Yes, we will see what Rin is up to next week. And some Rin fanboys are gonna get mad...xD

ah yes another great fruits basket episode Machi's backstory was really heartbreaking. i swear it's always the parents in fruits basket. most of them are really fcked up, machi and yuki really deserves each other so i hope they end up together. Also motoko's character devolopment though. bfr i saw her as only crazy fan girl but she really liked yuki. I wish she would end up with that shorty who i forgot his name. anyway i'm really gonna miss her.

Another great episode. Focusing on Machi, we got the real idea to why she’s has this related psychological trauma in her. Yuki was there for Machi and that was definitely an adorable moment for them.

Minagawa was also great too. I’m starting to like her as a character in anime form. Ngl, I wasn’t expecting for a graduation scene because it didn’t happened in the manga.

Finally, good shortstack Nao has a crush for Minagawa. They’re just too funny and cute together.

Can’t wait for the next episode, I’m pretty sure it’s intense like ep1.

That's a line from chapter 106. So next episode will likely be three chapters in one episode. They've done this kind of thing before so I'm not too worried.....As long as we get more than 13 episodes for this season.

While they have done this before, if we are getting more than 13 episodes there is kind of no need to do 3 chapters in 1 episode. The remaining material left doesn't need a full 24 or 25 episodes to be adapted so if we have a second cour there would be plenty of room and no need for this.

I guess from a storytelling perspective I can see why they'd want to structure it like this. There was no need to do three chapters in one for the first episode in the beach arc and yet they did. Also, I've drawn this handy chart to estimate roughly where this season may end up in terms of episodes.

Episode 1: Chapter 98 to 99
Episode 2: Chapter 100 to 101
Episode 3: Chapter 102 to 103 (just confirmed it)
Episode 4: Chapter 104, 105, and 106 (practically confirmed)

(predictions from here on out)
Episode 5: Chapter 107 to 108 (Given what happens there, I can see why they'd want the two to happen in the same episode)
Episode 6: Chapter 90 to 91 (they have to cover Kyoko and Katsuya's story eventually, right?)
Episode 7: Chapter 92 to 93 (continuation of their story)
Episode 8: Chapter 109 and (I'm only guessing here) 110
Episode 9: Chapter 112 to 113 (They have to cover these two in the same episode. No question about it)
Episode 10: Chapter 111 (huge guess here) and 114
Episode 11: Chapter 115 and 116
Episode 12: Chapter 117 to 118
Episode 13: Chapter 119 to 120
Episode 14: Chapter 121 to 122 (I'd honestly prefer if they covered only chapter 121 in a single episode. The pacing for that one is crucial)

(From that point onward the show has roughly 14 to 15 chapters left to adapt. So this likely won't be 25 episodes given the pacing now but it doesn't seem possible to have this season end at 13 episodes)

Beautiful and a complete episode, we got bits and pieces of nearly every character. Such a rollercoaster of emotions though, how does this series keep making me feel this way? Machi x Yuki is like the perfect final piece of the puzzle, this is too good.

"They've already judged my feelings" - Now, that really struck a chord. Hating perfection, the presentation and execution of this was just pure heart, really. Yuki breaking the chalk nonchalantly like that will easily go down as one of my favourite scenes of the series and more! May the two step on some snow in the future. Not kidding.

Yuki and that Senpai's moment was really heart-warming. Didn't think I'd end up liking her in the end when we first got a look at her xD. Who would've thought that was the girl who Shorty had faller for though? I hope they meet again someday in the near future.

A-Akito-san?! Spells trouble, that final scene right before the ED. Heck'd you do now, for God's sake? I was starting to change my impression big time, y'know.

What a start this Season is off to! Can't wait for more!

I wouldn't say that 3 chapters for the next episode are practically confirmed. There's so much going on in those chapters, that it'd be pretty hard to fit them all into one episode in their entirety (and there's hardly anything that could be skipped/cut out in them). Maybe they'll be rearranging scenes again for a better flow or something. I mean, it happened in s2 that they split chapters in parts between episodes.




Who knows? Maybe some scenes in chapter 106 play out later in episode 5?

That would mean only about seven or eight episodes for the second cour, which is incredibly uncommon. When I did tentative episode outlines for a 13 episode season with extra long episodes for the final episode or two, it was right around Episode 4 that the pacing picked up and we saw 3 chapters or 2.5 chapters being adapted.

I think Episodes 5 and 6 will be the really telling episodes in this regard. If they also have more sped up pacing, then the 13 episode count is more likely.

I don't know. I did the math. If episode 4 does three chapters in one, that still leaves 30 chapters of the manga to adapt. In the span of nine episodes, they'd have to be moving at 3 to 4 chapters per episode which is insane. That just doesn't seem likely when you consider Natsuki Takaya, the original author, is supervising this project.

Once more, you have to feel sympathetic for Machi. Her parent's obsession with perfection and the misunderstanding with her younger brother has left a mental scar within her, but it was nice of Yuki to comfort her when she needed it the most. It wasn't all depressing, though, as Kakeru's antics did give me a good laugh when he and Yuki were cleaning up Machi's apartment. XD

I'm also happy for Motoko, too. She's might've caused many antics in the past, being a Yuki fanboy and all, but this mature side of her was really welcome of her. She showcased this again when Nao tried to confess to her. It was really sweet. ^_^

The drama might become more intense for the next episode, going by how Rin was shown with short hair at the end of this episode. Poor girl...

If we got something like a two hour final episode (TMS has done two hour specials before) then they would only have to cut down on some parts here and there and do a few three chapter episodes like this.

Just because Takaya-sensei is supervising this, doesn't mean that absolutely everything is going to be adapted, especially since things like episode counts are likely out of her control. It would just mean that this time she gave her approval and consent to the content that was added or cut, unlike with the 2001 adaptation.

Whether this season is going to be one cour or two is likely going to,be clearer in the next episode or two.

Anyway, bringing this back to this episode: The Motoko moments really got to me. I taught in Japan for six years, so seeing the graduation moments just really hit me, and the Yuki/Machi moments were so well done!

Another great episode. The emotions were strong once again.

An episode focused on Machi. Her parents are horrible. Where on earth did they get the idea that Machi wanted to kill her brother? I hope we don't ever get to see them.

Who would have thought that Minagawa would be a great character? It was so mature of her.

I'm worried about the ending.

I don't know. I did the math. If episode 4 does three chapters in one, that still leaves 30 chapters of the manga to adapt.

I find it hard to believe that they would go steadily with s1 and 2 but rush the most crucial part of the story. If you look at it it makes sense why they had 3 chapters in ep 4. It makes sense. We'll prolly have no ending song but rather have that line siad in the very last minute of the episode,maybe even no opening or maybe they're going to just brush through 104 and focus hard 105-106. for me at least,it would make no sense to pair ch 106 with 107 given what happens in ch 107. Not only it reduces the impact of the final scene in ch 106 but it would be very weird to jump from such high impact ending to like..that? Its better if ch 107 and 108 are paired together.

Those parents are fucking morons. All she did was put a blanket on him! I have problems with my parents, but at least they wouldn't slap me for doing something as inoffensive as that!

I really hope Yuki and Machi become a couple, they had excellent chemistry in this episode

True. I just can't see Natsuki Takaya allowing the studio to rush the most critical parts of her story when everything else has been so well-paced. Also, I analyzed the season 3 trailer pretty heavily and found one scene that was supposed to be in chapter 128. But in this version, Yuki and Machi are wearing their Winter uniforms while in the manga, all the events of chapter 125 an onwards take place in Spring and Summer so the students only wear their white uniforms. So that would have to mean that the one moment from chapter 128 that I saw in the trailer, has to be a restructured plot point. And the trailers never show anything past the last episode of the respective cour. So yeah, it's looking more likely that we'll have more than 13 episodes.

"What makes a guy attractive is his Bank account" That's a bold statement and it couldn't be more true in a sense.

The Yuki x Machi moment was freaking adorable. Honestly feel sorry for Machi, she got treated very poorly and wrongly accused of attempt murder... Those parents have a nice hot place in hell next to Akito.

The Minagawa confession was cute, she finally managed to be honest to Yuki. Too bad for her that Yuki has found someone he wants to be with.

Chapter 106 has more "action" and movement in it, so that is likely the chapter that will be sped through, in the sense that it likely won't take as much time (in the episode) to animate. They also already animated a small portion of Chapter 106, so that chapter is already slightly less content wise.

As for the episode count, there is still the fact that the DDVD listing indicates a 13 episode 1 cour with 3 DVDs instead of the 6 DVDs like for Seasons 1 and 2.

Many Japanese fans over on Twitter also assume it is going to be 1 cour because of this: https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=%E3%83%95%E3%83%AB%E3%83%901%E3%82%AF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB&src=typed_query&f=live

Edit: You can also search terms like フルーツバスケット1クール and final1クール, etc.

In the end though, we'll just have to wait and see.

Damn man back to crying during a Fruits Basket episode. Graduation episodes always get me, but I felt it more in the first half then the second half.

Yuki...god damn man when he Promised to walk with Machi in the snow...I lost it. What a legend.

And then when they placed the new chalk in front of her and Yuki Casually broke a Piece...I was smiling from ear to ear. What a great fucking episode.

Akito is trash...that was clearly Rin in that room.

While they have done this before, if we are getting more than 13 episodes there is kind of no need to do 3 chapters in 1 episode. The remaining material left doesn't need a full 24 or 25 episodes to be adapted so if we have a second cour there would be plenty of room and no need for this.


That's not necessarily true.. Maybe they felt that the next 3 chapters were not enough material for two whole episodes and that it would drag if that where the case
And if it's not gonna be a full season (depending on the remaining chapters) 22 EPs instead of 23 doesn't make much of a difference

When I first read Fruits Basket, Yuki and Machi were my favourites besides Tohru, mostly because I could relate to them a lot. Of course I still love them now.

Yuki breaking the chalk for Machi... :'C <3 I also now realize the wordplay on snow used.

Minagawa's confession was really respectful. I get it girl. I think it's super cool for crushes to be shown the way hers and Nao were. They didn't feel entitled to anything, and then just moved on with their life. I'd like to see more of that in media.

The preview... was that Rin? I think I have an idea of what the next episode is about then. I should go dig up my manga copies and read along as I'm watching...
