Ri is a strange character, but overall a nice addition to the Souma family. I knew from her/his voice it was a man!!! Towards the end with Ri and Tohru was a sweet part.

Ritsu has a nice smile... so it's a good thing that Tohru tried to cheer him up. Maybe he'll be happier...? And apologise less?

Next episode looks interesting, from the preview...

That episode was lame. Ri's story was useless, came too late in the series, and did not add anything relevant. Feels like a filler.

I'm gonna have to agree. Just a little, though. It felt like Ritsu's story was a little lacking. His problem didn't seem as serious as the other Souma children.

While I felt for Ritsu (and Torhu's speech certainly helped), it seems to me that he could use a good slap in the face from that drill segerant in the Geico commercial!

Things look really serious for the next episode...I hope nothing happens to any of the characters, I've grown to really like them.

Ritsu is nice and funny even when he's apologizing I already see the resembles of his mother from it xD
but a good talk to tohru is like a new life lesson that makes you feel better of yourself

I think that Ritsu became like that because his mom was overly apologetic. Can't he realize that his mom is being toobsensitive about it? That it's not as bad as she's making it appear?

Ri-chan was quite a surprise when she was actually a boy, still nice episode and it really seems the behaviour is genetic :p

One of the most annoying characters I've seen in anime. The last 2 Sohmas have been disappointing.

Awww Ritsu is really just like his mom LOL

But it was sad learning about how he feels in this world :( but I'm glad Tohru's always so kind and uplifting and loves to help everyone :)

Ritsu is a pretty annoying character. It's getting easier and easier to see through the formula for this type of episode; Tohru meets new guy, new guy transforms, new guy explains personal hardship for several minutes, Tohru delivers perfect speech that makes new guy reevaluate himself for the better, roll credits.

It's frustrating, because I love this show at its best, but it feels like a quarter of these episodes could have been cut without losing much of anything.

Ritsu was getting on my nerves but it seems they're going to have him work on that annoyingness

Forget Ritsu trying to kill himself, I am trying not to kill myself by how lame and stupid this series has gotten. Only 3 eps left thankfully.

Ritsu is so hilarious. His constant freaking out is just entertaining. Nice addition to the family. C:

the last two sohmas introduction episode felt really fast for me, ritsu could have 2 episodes so his story would be little more interesting, at the end they really rushed his "sad background"...

but i guess that they wanted to finish the anime already, so...
