Also for whomever has been putting my comparisons onto the Fruits Basket Wiki, I made an error on one of the episode differences spotted. It wasn't Hanajima questioning Kyo's ability to prep for the exam, it was Uotani. I updated my list to correct the error and that should be corrected on the wiki as well.

Another episode where the old adaptation did it better.

The fool's tale in the 2001 adaptation had a much better use of colors, with a washed out palette. It gave the sensation of old faery tales. The new one uses a very bright color palette that almost looks like it came out of Disney Studios. The music in the old one is much better by changing the tone once the traveler enters the woods infested by demons. The panning shots in Aquarell colors although quite simplistic it matches with the washed out colors from the story.

I did like the ribbon gift scene better in this new adaptation though. It makes better use of wider more detailed backgrounds than the old one and both have that special feeling of being in front of a prince.


The new one was better in every single way. Especially the dub.

Looking forward to the next episode! We’ll be through with the first cour then and hopefully confirmation for the season length will come!


I think ep. 13 might be the final one of the first cour, as the first full trailer featured a character that's going to be introduced in that episode. It would also fit with the DVD/BD vol. 3 having an additional, fifth episode and adding up to 13 episodes for the first three discs (out of six).

Anyway, we'll know for sure soon enough. I'm wondering whether we'll get an OP/ED change for the 2nd cour though..


So this won’t be an ongoing anime? I was hoping it would continue airing through the seasons.

Not gonna lie, I would have always assumed Kyo was a shitty student too. Sort of surprising that he would be the type to lock himself in his room to study. Of course Tohru spent all of her money on chocolate ingredients. That's just like her. I didn't realize chocolate was so expensive, though. Did she just buy so much it was expensive? I enjoyed the unique art style during the "funny story," but that was the polar opposite of humorous. Where exactly is the joke? Anyone mind directing me? Ritchan was funny. Her harassing Kyo for "wanting" to sleep in the same room as Tohru was great. It was bittersweet seeing Tohru bring her mom's picture to the hot springs with her. I almost expected Tohru to pull a Megumi Tadokoro and be a god at ping pong. Not gonna lie, I thought Momiji was way younger.

I seem to be the minority in this case, but team Yuki all the way. I can see why people like Kyo, and I'm not saying that he isn't great too, but my heart says Yuki. He's just too kind.

what a sweet episode. not much really happened but it was really cute.

kyou's subtle flirting with tooru at the beginning of the episode was PRECIOUS. yuki's return gift to tooru was super cute too. onsen lady was hilarious - can't wait to meet her son.

also, can we talk about the ending sequence changing a little? it's pretty obvious by now that yuki feels something for tooru, and that just verified it. as much as i love yuki tho i gotta say i like kyou a lot more. mostly i'm just a sucker for tsunderes lol.

I thought he was being self deprecating, as if he was embarrassed to have said what he really felt and then second guessed himself after he said it.

I don't understand tho, the traveler was generous and selfless allright, but what is the moral of the story? Kindness never returns? You'll be only taken advantage of if you're kind?
I believe being kind isn't just being capable of generosity. To make others recognize their wrongdoings and help them overcome mistakes is another way to spread kindness. The traveler didn't make villagers happier or better, all they learned is to deceive and be more greedy, she really was just stupid.


The "moral of the story" is Momiji's perspective on it, not the story itself. You've missed the point and are having the same reaction to it as the other kids in Momiji's class. You're focusing on the traveler - what the traveler, the kind person, the victim, did wrong. That they're stupid. They should have acted differently. They let themselves be taken advantage of. Why not shift the perspective? When you encounter someone who is that kind of person, what are you going to do? The only thing you can control is your own actions. Don't focus on what the traveler is "doing wrong". Focus on what you can do right.

Manga readers and the first anime viewers knows best why the woman made a scandal about her son. About "How is he?" But, first viewers will wait until this. I wont said more because spoilers.

The idiot traveler story always hurts my heart. Tohru really is so kind.

They took out Momijis' song, but I don't really mind. They also took out Tohru fainting.

I wonder what the next episode will be about. I can't remember what zodiac we will meet next.

You're welcome. :3 In the manga the school stuff has 2 chapters and the next zodiac has 2 chapters, so it'll probably be 2 episodes, like until now, 2 ch = 1 ep, most of the time (rarely it's 1 ch + filler stuff = 1 ep).

Gorgeous unfunny picture book, with stylized colors & unsettling. Feels like Phosphophyllite the idiot became hyakkimaru in reverse. Definitely some food for thought in context of Tohru (& Akito/Shigure).

Yuki went full prince mode on the bridge scene, beautiful lol.

Another episode that purifies my soul.
Hahaha, the most funny and surprising thing about this episode was Momiji. First, he cheated on me, I thought it was a girl ... and now, it turns out he's only a year younger than Yuki and Kyo. WHAT?!. Never judge a book by its cover. LOL 😂. And he slept with Tohru ... Pervert!

The hostess of the pass was a bit crazy. I think most of the Souma family is 😅. I'm curious to know what your son is like (the Zodiac monkey).

It seems that Yuki is falling in love with Tohru ❤. Also, there was a small difference at the end of "ending" song. Will it mean something ?.

PS: The story of "The Silly Traveler" was really sad. But Momiji gave it a touching approach.

Man, the traveller's story was definitely something... I really liked the sequence and the way how they animated it. Not to mention that Momiji's narration was perfect in making the story feel even more impactful.
