| Got to know more about Arisa's past with Tohru and her mom. Also, Tohru was so cute in this episode. |
 |
| Great story, made me feel sentimental asf. Bravo. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| This episode really got me. I could relate a great deal to Uo-chan's past and when Kyoko talked about rock bottom, it felt like her words were being directed right at me. I definitely needed this in my life right now. |
 |
| Pretty cool backstory. I never expected I would like Tohru's mom so much; it's very unfortunate that she suddenly died |
 |
| I would say the story of Arisa impressed me more than many of the other episodes as it touched two points that I find particularly important in life. 1) Kyoko and Tooru's kindness to take care of Arisa when Arisa was going through a difficult period, was a key element for Arisa to heal her inner wounds. I agree and can confirm at any time that it is only kindness and love that can heal such wounds! 2) It is impressing but so real that kindness and inner strength are contagious! It certainly requires a lot of patience and dedication from the persons that foster it so that they can pass it on to others, but it definitely worth the effort! In this case, Arisa changed thanks to the support and love she received from Tooru and Kyoko. This led to Arisa taking care of her own father as well and building an authentic bond with him. It moved me so deeply to see that man, who has suffered not only the loss of his wife but also the rejection of his own daughter, a little bit comforted and given some of the love every human being deserves! I can't tell why I cared so much about what was happening to him (maybe because he was trying to cope with the situation despite the difficulties while he was not such a strong person), but I felt so relieved that things became better for him as well! I couldn't help crying! A supplementary observation: It seems to me that Kyoko's kindness and attitude toward life somehow stemmed from her turbulent past. However, I feel that Tooru's kindness is something natural, like a powerful gift. Of course, I don't want to belittle Tooru's efforts, I'm very aware that a gift can be lost if not fostered. Yet it was so surprising for me how naturally it came to Tooru to think about making a cookie for Arisa too! I shamefully admit, it might not happened to me if I was in her place, or at least I would have had to reason a lot before coming with such an idea ๐ ! It's so heartwarming to see goodness so well rooted in a person's soul! |
| "The me today will not ever make the future me to regret!" (Emily Adachi from Air Gear: Kuro no Hane to Nemuri no Mori - Break on the Sky)  |
| Arisa Is so adorable!!<3 |
| This episode was really good. I was starting to lose interest but this brought me back. Also, the shot of Kyoko coming to the rescue of Uo-chan was really good. looking forward to seeing Hana's past now. |
| Seeing how Uotani change for the better thanks to Tohru and Kyoko was sad yet heartwarming |
 |
| felt this was more kyoko episode than uotani for some reason. the moment where kyoko died though could be more emotional though... hope to see more of uotani now, here backstory makes her more interesting. |
| Glad not only Uo but her father also recovered from that. They both seem to be doing fine now :) |
 |
| Arisa's history with Kyoko was more emotional than I thought it would be. Post credit scene was hilarious |
 |
 I love whenever their friendship is the main focus. This episode enhanced my love for Arisa. Alongside Kyo, my favorite characters. I hope we see more of her because she is a lovely character with a fantastic backstory. Showing us from her lowest point to where she is now. Thanks to the help of, as always wonderful, Tohru and Kyouko. I love their family dynamic. I can't wait to see Saki's backstory. I'm so excited ^.^ Another great episode! I've been enjoying this a lot. |

| I didn’t think the follow to Arisa talking about her past concerning with Tohru would almost bring me to tears but jeez it certainly knows how to tug at my heartstrings. This was such a beautiful episode, just goes to show that a delinquent like Arisa could be changed just because of Tohru and of course her mum, the latter which she looks up to. God Arisa had one hell of a beating from the gang she used to be with and it would’ve gotten a lot worse had Kyoko hadn’t intervened when she did. It just holds so much weight to Arisa’s relationship with Tohru altogether because again Kyoko is basically the mother that she never had and it just gives her more incentive to be friends with her daughter after the beatdown she endured. Kyoko was such a sweet mother and her words really mean a whole lot not only to Arisa in general but to me as well, this episode was just so emotional. The three delinquent girls were hilarious and did provide some comic relief to balance the dramatic stuff happening throughout the episode. And I think they’ve become fangirls to Arisa now. XD Absolutely marvellous episode for me. My personal favourite of this show so far. |
| We got more details about Uo-chan's story, and though it was really cute, I'm starving for more development in Yuki and Tohru's relationship. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ |
 |
| This mini Uo arc gave us hindsight to her scolding her dad for drinking. Such a great and emotional mini arc that shows how much the kindness of a person can change the lives of others. Kyoko changed Uo, and by extension her dad. Beautiful arc. People trying to sabotage Uo and Tohru's friendship, simply because they're "too different to get along". The three wannabe delinquents looking up to Uo! That was hilarious! And I wonder if their admiration for Uo will guide them on a better path. |
