EARLY ACCESS Fruits Basket Season 1 Episode 3 Reaction

"A lot of my preconceptions about sort of what to expect with regards to the zodiac and things like that and the characters that will be introduced in the show has now been kind of thrown out the window." Yeah, get used to that. When you think you've got it all figured out, it'll get all twisty on ya real fast. I'm loving your reactions so much! I can't wait to see more.

I think it being an anime adaption, they do have to worry about tone. The manga put comedy and sorrow together, the older anime adaption focused more on the comedy, and this one the sorrow. At least that’s my own opinion!

Your analysis over the characters is so good! This whole show runs on character progression and degression.

Feels like Sohma family should've been translated into Sohma clan. Family isn't wrong but it gives a very different impression when in actuality the Sohma characters are pretty distantly related.

Something about this remake is kinda bothering me and I can't put my finger on it. The production value is good, and it's an overall solid adaptation, but a lot of comedic and emotional beats that I remember being really strong in the manga and original anime are falling flat. I don't know if the direction is weaker, or if it's nostalgia, or just because I'm much older than when it originally released. Is anyone else feeling similar, or is it just me?

Man this episode has some really good messaging and discussion about kindness. Also I was really surprised at the sincerity and emotion behind the flashback with her mother and the idea that everyone has something good about them. I think some people might see this as Tohru being idealistic but to me it's more that she can past bad things about people because she realizes that anyone can be good given the opportunity. She's such a great protagonist and I love how much the bros love her. Also talking about shipping already is great/bad because of how complicated it gets in regards to romantic ships. I found the discussion about Kyo and Yuki very interesting and in some ways on point. Can't wait for them to see more of this story slowly unfold. I love the reaction keep up the great work. :-) <3

Some of the dicussion is really amazing and some are just wild speculation that are very amusing in retrospect once you've finished the show, can't wait to see more !

Listening to them talk about ships this early in the show hurts my soul lol. We just gotta trudge through it I guess.
