riddle

i know there's a reason for it and it'll be explained eventually (i am rewatching for the second time and didn't finish the show, but i forgot almost everything that i did watch so i dont remember the reason) but idk... yuki's interactions with kyo really bother me 😭 yuki seems like a kind person, but he is so unlikeable to me in all of his scenes with kyo. it feels like genuine dislike rather than just a rivalry idk lol. i know yuki wants out of the sohma's while kyo wants to be accepted by them, but even so i feel like there's such a lack of empathy for him. (ik im probably wrong, but dont correct me, i will see for myself).

Hi J&J It seems like you are a bit disappointed knowing you are born in pig year. 😅 It’s understandable because some people may refer pig as lazy and silly, but in fact we see people born in pig year as kind and with good fortune. I guess it’s like two sides of a coin that in this cruel world you need to be very fortunate to be able to be lazy and silly. Haha (It was just my own perception from my experience of born and raised under the Chinese zodiac culture, but I did look up and the Internet says people born in pig year are honest, optimistic, and generous. ❤️) Just like what you said wanting to be born in dragon year, many parents hope to have baby in dragon year, because dragon is the symbol of an emperor. However, the downside of being a dragon is the huge competition of getting into a good university or a good company because so many people are born in that year. lol I was born in tiger year and tiger might be the Chinese zodiac with most taboos. Traditionally, tigers are not allowed to get near to a bride because the tigers are too fierce and would bring bad luck to the marriage. So much so that some conservative parents would forbid a tiger girl to be the bridesmaid of their bride daughter. We have a saying to describe woman who is fierce and intimidating as “female tiger”. I used to hate being a tiger when I was a little girl because I can’t get close to the beautiful brides. haha But as an adult woman, I love the fierceness, the confidence, and the feline elegance of tigers and of women. It’s like what Tohru’s mom said, “just be you, and live life at your own pace”. Cheers!

Thanks, J&J! The alleyway convo tugging at my heartstrings already! All Yuki desires is to be free of the constraints that accompany bearing the Sohma surname and all Kyo wants is to be accepted and recognized as a worthy, official family member deserving of the Sohma surname. My favorite foils, Yuki and Kyo.💗

Greetings, fellow rat!🫶🏻🐭

Hey, j&j, PLEASE READ. I'll help explain a bit without spoiling! In fruba, being hugged by the opposite sex basically equates to torso/chest touching so there's no stress in helping with ties or simply being around each other aside from worrying about the accidental chest touching (as our girl has demonstrated can happen quite easily lol) Also, to touch on the "erasing memories" situation, like yuki said, it's not necessarily erasing, it's like selective suppression hypnotism so no it wouldn't erase her memory of her mother. Hope this helps a little bit! A cute detail to catch is to make sure you watch the ending after any animal is introduced in an episode as sometimes you get cute little animations added! So watch eventually not just listen and you'll catch some cute details! Additionally I'm so happy that you're doing this series. Like others have echoed, thank you so much for putting it on a poll! I suggest to keep tissues close by and I hope you are able to ride out the fires without damage! Stay safe!

There are also several people that love anime like my sister that has extreme adhd and audio processing disorders so I feel bad for them when the sub only community is so elitist and forceful. I prefer dub for fruba However it's a wonderful series in either

Thaya

That's cool👍🔥

Glad to see it as a password lol

Found out I'm year of the rat, also...WHY IS THIS ANIME SO GOOD, GAH! This is my first slice-of-life anime and I LOVE IT. I'm currently binging MHA right now to get ahead of yall in those reactions, but I may be binging Fruba any day now, on episode 7 already!

Jay18

It does but take solace in the fact that they watch it again off screen in the dub so they are seeing it 🙂

Year of the Ox here! The ox is the second animal in the order of the Chinese zodiac. People born in the year of the ox are leaders. They are hardworking people, independent and prefer peaceful and quiet places to work. Patience and honesty are the two characteristics that many people appreciate the ox for, but the ox is very stubborn. ( I'm not too sure about being a leader but everything else seems to describe me well, sadly that also includes the stubbornness 🫣) Year of the Pig: The pig is the last animal in the Chinese zodiac. People born in the year of the pig are innocent, and they enjoy happiness. They are laid-back, caring, considerate, and kind, which makes them the best friends to have. People born in this zodiac year can also be immature, simple- minded, and reckless. I also love how you guys pointed out the loneliness that was felt from these characters. When I first watched this show I was too young to truly comprehend how awful it must feel to not be able to come into contact with other people. It must be devastating not being able to be comforted with a hug. Everyone could use a hug every once in a while 😔

Thaya

Of course, you're right. But they're using english subtitles for the sub version, so that wouldn't make it easier i think? 🤔 I don't mean to offend anybody either, but it's frustrating sometimes. There ARE those people who don't want to watch anything in dub once, because they just prefer sub that much. That's what i ment

Kenken

I thought English dub would be nice but also please remember that there seems to be several people watching the reactions that aren't native English speakers.

Thaya

Agreed, i get if the majority prefers sub.. But some anime HAVE great dub, and FruBa is an example. It really does feel better. This case is just people who can't watch a single episode of anything in dub it seems.. Watching ONE show in dub could be allowed sometimes, or so you'd think

Jaycee

And the sub only community strikes again. I’m sorry but this anime hits better dubbed.

Thaya

I'm the year of the snake😁🐍 Thank you very much for the new Episode, i LOVE watching your reactions, you guys are doing such a good Job! 💜 About FruBa, you seemed to be confused when Tohru's friend mentioned Kyo's hair color being the same as "Kyoko-san's" - She was talking about Tohru's mother here. Her name is Kyoko, not Kyoto.🤗 Also the Sohmas CAN get touched by people of the opposite sex. Yuki for example would only turn, if Tohru hugs/embraces him. Have a good day and stay healthy!😊

hello! english is not my first language, so sorry for any grammar mistakes. first time commenting, but been watching you guys since your first bts video, and been a patreon since the beggining of aot! i wanted to comment this time because of how much fruits baskets means to me. i am an avid watcher of slice of life, romance, and all of the shoujo ever. but nothing has ever made me feel the way fb has. i've always related to kyo, saying things that hurt people without meaning to, or doing things without thinking them through, but watching this show has changed me as a person, to my core. tohru has become, simply put, my role model in life. the lessons this show has taught me, i can never thank the creator enough. i can't wait to see what kind of things you guys will get from it! hope you enjoy it as much as everyone else does! p.s: kyoko is the name of tohru's mother. tohru's friend, uotani, was saying that kyo's hair is orange like tohru's mom. also, im year of the dragon :)

Love Link Click💜

Shivo

Year of the rat here, explains why Yuki is my favorite character lol, even though I hate rats or any sort of rodent irl

WuXian Suibian

Absolutely. Link Click is intelligently written with a tightly written plot.

WuXian Suibian

Year of the Pig here too. Yuki Soma's Va is Nobunaga Shimazaki = Mahito from JJK and Suna Rintaro (Inarizaki) from Haikyu Season 4 Kyo Soma's VA is Yuma Uchida. = Megumi from JJK Shigure Soma's VA is Yuichi Nakamura = Gojo from JJK & Kuroo from Haikyu

Angélica Hernández

It's ironic that my birth year is the snake when I am terrified of snakes, any type 😭🫣😱

Lexie

You guys seem to be confused on when they transform into their animal forms. It only happens when they are either sick, or if they are embraced by someone of the OPPOSITE sex. Embraced meaning hugged. So like Tohru could put her hand on a male zodiac's arm, and they wouldn't transform. It has to be closer to a hug
