| This episode was very good. It showcased all the nice moments once again, but it did a solid job in building up the rising tension towards next week. Rin's introduction to Tohru almost ended before it could start, but Yuki was quick enough to bring Tohru out of harm's way from Rin's kick. She's not one to reason with right now and she showed that with her thinly-veiled threats to Tohru and Yuki, despite the conditions that she's in. As for Akito, it was rather rich to call out Kyo being a monster while not realising that Akito himself is a nastier monster that Kyo is. With this in mind, summoning Kyo to meet with Akito is certainly going to be the talking point for next week's episode. Shigure's comment about a storm approaching is spot on, so I hope the anime-only viewers are ready for what's to come... |
| An interesting idea to use the "quiet voice" as a metaphor for the characters' secret troubles in this episode. That aside, it still feels like a lot of set up is going on here, especially with Akito's desire to see Kyo - and presumably break his "delusions" - next episode. Also, did I misread the subs, or did Yuki refer to Akito as "her" at one point? |
dragynfaerie said: Valyrian1124 said: Seems like Kagura's mother is the only parent of the Zodiac who actually calls out Akito's violent tendencies. Rin is being a selfish, brooding ass, and a quite violent one at that. Nearly killed Torhu by kicking her in the head. "Ah finally, the voice of reason!" That's what I thought when Kagura's mom mentioned not wanting Kagura to be hurt by Akito. I also thought it when I read your comment about Rin. I was starting to think I imagined her trying to kick Tohru in the head in her horse form. She's a nasty piece of work. I had enough of her when she came on to Shigure. I wouldn't mind not seeing her again, but I know that won't happen. kater_tot said: I swear to God, if she does anything to Kyo I'm gonna scream! God, next week's ep is gonna be painful isn't it? I don't think I've ever hated a character so much in all my life; Akito appears on screen and I'm instantly fuming! Me, too! If something happens to Kyo, I'm gonna lose it. FB also puts me on an emotionally rollercoaster. I downloaded the manga back in 98 or '99 (whenever the original came out) and I still haven't read it. I need to be somewhere soft and away from sharp objects. I, too, have never hated a character as much as I hate Akito, henceforth known as It. I thought It was a woman with a man's name for awhile (including the original series), but at some point we're told It's a he...I think. I loathe It. I keep hoping it gets killed. I have fantasies of Hatori killing It or there being multiple murders. Thank god it's not just me! Every episode of this season so far has been emotionally exhausting for me haha I can't deal with the tension anymore so I'm reading the manga... I just need to know what happens NOW so I can deal with the bloody anime! I'm sure Akito is a woman... there must be some reason why she's portrayed as a man though. To be honest, the best way to get back at Akito and completely ruin her is if the Zodiacs just abandoned her but I've been told there's a reason they can't which I'm sure we'll find out in the future |
 |
| Is it just me or did the series just get significantly darker? The tension in this episode and the last one start reminding me of Monster. |
 |
| What's up with Rin's temper! It looks like she needed a friend. Tohru could help her with that. Although...I don't look forward to her character. I'm not quite pleased about how she snapped at Tohru and almost kicked her. ๐ There will be tension on the next episode! I wish Ayame was there, maybe he can cheer them up! I wonder how Akito and Kyo would treat each other? Can't wait to see it! And Shigure will be enjoying the scene of course. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
x-Nezumi-x said: Now that Tohru met Rin, all that's left is the rooster, Kureno. Speaking of which, he appears to be sad and sullen, excluding an aura of loneliness and acceptance. It is a bit unnatural, considering he is basically the male version of Tohru. I understand, though. It is quite sad. I somehow feel like Tohru and Kureno are related. Like could he be her dad? |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Idk wtf is wrong with Rin she's so edgy that it's annoying. Why tf has she come if she doesn't want to be seen by anyone? I hope she makes up her mind soon. Akito's once again horny af. This week's victim was Haru, and next week's is apparently Kyo. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| With Rin being the actual horse I don't understand what Hatori is supposed to be and nobody in the show is commenting on it. I thought he was supposed to be the horse last season. Or was he demoted from a full fledged member when he pissed Akito off? |
| Tooru meeting Rin. And about the next episode, things will be gerting worse, and Tooru will not be as fun the curse of the zodiacs. Remember first season, I dont remember who was, but Someone told Tooru that the curse isnt fun at all. |

It was revealed last season that he was the Dragon( he transformed into the seahorse ) |
| Akito wants Kyo at the next meeting, bad news coming. I still don't understand if Shigure is with or against Akito, in the first season he says that to reach his goal he is willing to trample everyone, but what is this purpose? Rin indecipherable at the moment, Kureno, according to what this episode said, is the Rooster, so Akito, as I thought, is not one of the 12, I expected it since he is the boss. |
axel360 said: The pace feels a bit slow to me, but I am interested in seeing how all this Sohma drama is about to unfold. Same here. I feel this arc has more uneventful sequences when weighed against the ones that truly count. Hope the next episode there's less fluff and comedy and focuses on Akito or the big grudge Rin has that has been teased since the end of 1st season. |
LOL, Kureno is 26 (he said it in episode 5 to Uotani). And Tooru is I think 16 (2nd year of high school). So no way. XD minimiau said: Remember first season, I dont remember who was, but Someone told Tooru that the curse isnt fun at all. Hatori told Tooru that when she went to meet him at the Souma estate (Momiji was there too when he talked about the curse). It was in episode 7. |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (เฒฅโฟเฒฅ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(โงโฝโฆ)o |
| The Yuki and Kyo scene about Akito-san, it got ruined because they wanted to be funny |
| I don't want Kyo to go meet with Akito!! Don't do any harm to my precious boy |
 |

| Seeing Yuki slowly overcoming his trauma is nice and all but him arrogantly "telling" Kyou to think about Tohru first if he sees Akito was kinda uncalled for. If he knew how much the guy cares for her... Overall, not of my most memorable episodes but I gotta say that the tension whenever Akito was on screen was handled perfectly. And regarding Rin... I still don't know what to think about her but surely, nearly killing Tohru with a horse kick won't give her much empathy points from my part. Anyways, it seems Kyou will finally see Akito next week... oh boy. People say it will be a rather emotional episode so I'm especially looking forward to it! "My precious...", uh? |
| Yuki Kyo I cant decided |

| Man this arc just has me feeling uneasy the entire time. |
| i wonder what's the deal with voluptuous Rin!? 4/5. |
 |
| Fruits Basket continues to thrive. They have my attention to an extent and every episode makes me scared of the fact that something horrible might happen. |
| Glad to see Kagura after a while. Tohru meets Rin the horse zodiac with her mysterious background and personality. |
 |
| Now that was an ugly horse |
 |
| I am tired of anime subs referring to every set of prayer beads as a, "Rosary." I will never get tired of Kyo threatening to fight the ocean. |

LOL I haven't watched the latest episode yet. I'm thinking about grabbing the rum just in case. A reason why they can't abandon her? Now, that's interesting. |

I'm gonna cling to the vodka bottle after this weeks episode (especially since I've been warned it's gonna be bad!). I'm guessing they can't just abandon her because of her position in the Zodic or something...? |

| yet another mental character, Rin.. tries to smash Tohru's skull... wtf -__- SouthRzVa said: Seeing Yuki slowly overcoming his trauma is nice and all but him arrogantly "telling" Kyou to think about Tohru first if he sees Akito was kinda uncalled for. yeah i thought it was nasty trying to build his self-esteem at expense of another person |

| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Episode felt solid and impact, enjoyed every part of it. Tohru x Yuki is going really strong these episodes and I dig it. Shigure is either a bad guy or the good one who tries to help in the wrong way and I like how he enjoys Akito toying with everyone. Tadaima Tadaima Tadaima Tadaima Tadaima Tadaima was so funny and cute. |
| Really wonder what's up with Rin. Hopefully she doesn't turn out to be that way for no reason and hopefully she doesn't stay like this. Will get annoying. Also what's with all the touching these episodes? Am I missing something? Last episode Honda touched Yuki and this episode Kyo without problems. |

Also what's with all the touching these episodes? Am I missing something? Last episode Honda touched Yuki and this episode Kyo without problems. Zodiac members can be touched, they can't be embraced or else the Curse gets activated. Full body contact, like torso to torso contact, is required. Simply holding hands or arms won't activate it. Tohru does get brought close to Yuki in the Rin scene, but a small space is kept between the two of them, so the Curse doesn't activate. Thanks for explanation. It seemed inconsistent to me but looks like it was because I didn't pay attention enough. |
| another good episode. Kyo is so lucky, he was able to spend so much time with Tohru. Date at the beach, they made some weird looking "sand castles". xD the other members of the zodiac are not so lucky, they spend time with Akito who is the real monster. Yuki falling in love even more with Tohru... |
| It's nice that Kagura's mom loves her so much C: It is insane how sexy Hatori is. Every time he's on screen, I just-- ASDFGHJKLLLLLLL; So cute when Momiji glomped Tohru ^.^ his bunny form was so happy hugging her :D On another note... *SIGHHHH* Why is Akito like this? /facepalm. I don't want Tohru to get isolated :'( sweet bby guh v__v |
| I don't understand it anymore!! What's wrong with Akito! She always act as all mighty.. so annoying !!!!! And what's the connection of Tohru to zodiac? |
| Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. |
| Animation was weird during Yuki and the rest beach scene. Besides that, it was a good episode. Tooru finally meets Rin and Akito wants to talk to Kyo. I'm scared of this. |

| season 2 has been very strong for me so far, i love how there's a great balance of everything from drama, comedy to romance. i cried when yuki apologised to tohru for what he said, he's so broken :'( kyo is so soft & sweet around tohru now :') akito is so manipulative and clearly abusing them in physical & emotional ways. she clearly has a hold over them. |
 ๊ค but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ๊ค |
| Step on my balls, Akito uwu |

| Yep. Akito still pisses me off. "Bring Kyo here". Hmm? |
 |
| The storm, more like the passing of winds, felt good seeing yuki being strong and not crying like a little bitch. |
