EARLY ACCESS Fruits Basket Season 1 Episode 23 Reaction

Also next episode is something none of us am prepared for even having already seen it.

I’m actually going to leave a short comment this time. I feel like Tohru is more relatable than usual this episode with how stress affects us all. I think we can all agree stress is terrible. I also love how it has an emotional connection to her mother. It’s so great to get more development with Kyo with all his worry and caring for her. Also it’s distressing to see another example of Tohru not caring for herself enough but it’s so great that there are many people stopping that behavior. The conversation between the 2 of them is so heartwarming and so healthy because it gets her feelings and anxiety out there and it really means a lot with it happening because of someone who has a hard time expressing and understanding emotions. The foreshadowing here for stuff with Kyo is great and intense while still being vague. And now we meet a character I love so very much the Master. It has become more and more obvious for a while but the dub and sub for this show are both fantastic which just makes me happy. Finally I can never express how much I love your discussions but once again it was great and some of this discussion is closer to the mark than I would think it’s awesome. I loved this reaction please keep up the great work. :-) <3

I love this series and how fleshed out the characters are, especially since they're not stereotypical! Like many parts of this reaction, you two make guesses about different parts of the episode about the character that may fit a stereotype, but are incorrect with the characters. Like when tohru failed the test, you thought she would be the type to get depressed with getting less than perfect. But part of flaw as a character is that, even tho she's hard working, she's still clumsy and ditzy, she most likely failed cause she over worked herself to get this cold/fever. Another instance is Kyo, even though he's angry and a tsundere, hes not a delinquent. He actually gets very good grades. And its been hinted at that he was a good cook from the rice ball episode. It's Yuki and Shigure who are bad at cooking lol. Can't wait for the next episode!

A note on the timeline of the 01 series and this one. The 01 series focused on other arcs this season a lot longer [hence the lack of Hana and Uo] but this upcoming arc with Kyo, Kagura, Tohru, and Shishou was the end arc for the 01 series, so this arc has been adapted before. Honestly, as not the biggest Kyo stan I kind of appreciate this instance of the 2019 series condensing some of the story arcs into less episodes. It pissed me off with some of the other season 1 arcs, but I feel like this arc benefited from a more concise form of storytelling. [Even if, in general, I much preffered the artistic liberties that the 01 show took to draw things out and refocus on themes] Can't wait for the next episode [like everyone else], it legitimately might rock yall's worlds. Then, season 2 hype!!!

I love furuba so much, but Kagura is my least favorite character by far. I've been in a situation where someone would emotionally manipulate me into physical contact I wasn't comfortable with, so to see Kagura do it in such a practiced way with Kyo makes me feel sick to my stomach. I understand why others connect to her character, but I just can't get past that.

They really could upload the next one today too.. but the wait is worth it.
