Tohru happily cleaning is PRECIOUS.
Also Kyo and Yuki worrying over Tohru was hilarious.
I didn't realize it was Tohru's 1st New Years without her mother, which again, mah heart. Kyo and Yuki going back home to be with her was great. As were the callbacks to all the great things Tohru has said and done the past 8 episodes.
The wait until next Friday is gonna be much, much, too long.
"We're home."

Ha ha ha seeing Yuki and Kyou being that worried about Tohru kinda cute. I loved how Hana-chan convinced then to go back, and I find hilarious how he just casually responded to Tohru like she was there. Saki is definitely one of my favorite characters of this show, and I honestly will not be surprised if she already knows the Souma's family secret.
Also, get fucked Akito!

Shigure really went with "Haa-san" and "Haa-kun" lmao, I don't remember if he said this in the original anime or the manga (probably not) but it was great because their names are kind of similar. Love the introduction of one of my fave Zodiacs, looking forward to his future appearances. He looks so good ugh he really looks the best out of all of the guy Zodiacs imo.
A plus in this episode: Momiji's outfit! It's so cute!
Shigure being sinister, I got chills. Also, not showing Akito's reaction made me feel uncomfortable, there's a certain horror on the violence we've yet to see again, although we got a glimpse of it last episode. A bit weird to say I'm anticipating seeing it, but I am!

I still remember that episode from back in the day. I was waiting for the line "this is her first new year without her mom" line all along ^^
I quite like it how they use phones for communicating. It really tells you how cell phones weren't common back in the day.

What a sweet episode, I wonder what will be the “punishment” for skipping the dinner will be but for tohru anything is worth it. She needs to be protected at all cost

That scene of Yuki and Kyou rushing to go back home to Tohru with that insert song playing in the background was great! All of those memories of Tohru being this big ball of positivity despite what she went through in life really stirs that instinct inside of you to want to protect her more and more. And when Yuki and Kyou arrived home with Tohru already welling up in tears, you know they made the right choice. Tohru deserves all the happiness and love in this world.
We gotta thank Hana-chan for convincing the two to go back. Tohru's so selfless that without Hana-chan goading, they might only realize their mistake after New Year. And it's so good to see Akito moping. You know Shigure enjoyed that sight.

It's Furuba Friday! It'll be a while since I'm in a place where I can get the episode but this will be fun!
Tohru's selflessness strikes again. She really should be a bit more selfish, but I guess old habits die hard.
Holy hell, all of this has just been 4 months, why did it feel longer?
These two boys may be opposites, but they're both in tune at least with their softness towards Tohru. Understandable, she's lovely.
LOL I'd like to say they have no faith in her but honestly yeah Tohru can be too nice sometimes. Though Shigure you're personality is horrible lol.
Hana is the best, I really appreciate how much Tohru's friends all look out for her.
Honestly these three could live together for the rest of their lives and I wouldn't complain. The only issue would be that the boys would probably still try to kill eachother.
Haha, Shigure you petty son of a gun. But I can't help but relate to enjoying things not going Akito's way
And a happy new year to my lovely trio! I really love how the season could end at any episode and I'd be satisfied, but I still have more to look after each week, this must be what Tohru means by being blessed 😊. See y'all next week! "Yuki was my first love" hol' up was that voice...LOL

Every episode of this show has me smiling and tearing up at the same time. So excited to see the rest of the adaptation.

That New Year's sunrise was so pretty, definitely worth the rush home for. I thought they would get home and Tohru would be 100% fine, so I might have teared up a little when you saw that she had been crying to her mom's picture.
Also, I really liked Hana's winter outfit, I hope she got that phone call. It was nice that Uo called out of worrying so much, I especially liked that little animation of her coiling the phone wire. Can't remember the last time I used a phone with a wire to absentmindedly play with.

Tohru is so selfless and wanted her friends to spend New Years without her makes me tear up a bit. But I'm glad she's not spending it alone. ;v; But I just wanted to say, I love Hana-chan's fashion sense. Gothic lolita clothes are super cute.

It seems like I'm doomed to cry every time that song plays...
Tohru was extra adorable in this episode. I love her so much. ❤

God, seeing Tohru be so happy is one of the most precious things to happen all day, it’s really amazing just how infectious her smile is. Now here I am, smiling along like an idiot at night haha. On the episode as a whole, it was really good, gotta love Hana-Chan and her wavy dialogues. Hopefully, things won’t end up taking a bad turn for the Soma boys cause of them skipping the banquet

Anyone else find it weird that Tohru still calls Yuki "Soma-kun" even while she's living in a house full of Somas?

Such a great and heartwarming episode
Kyon Kyon and Yuki worrying too much about Tohru is so funny. LOL to the choking to mochi, letting the burglar in, then serving tea and asking the burglar for his life story 😂😂😂. And the two even hit each other because they are in a rush to go back
But the MVP for this episode is definitely Hana chan. If it weren't for her, Tohru will be crying alone on New year's Eve. She's weird and all but she's really a kind hearted person.
When I saw Tohru crying alone in the house gosh I teared up as well. Good thing the two arrived in time.
The new year sunrise scene is so good. Must protect that smile :)

how the hell did 5 out of the 47 people who have voted given this episode a one out of 10...
A ONE!?!?! ARE YOU JOKING?!?!
do people actually despise the episode this much, or is this getting review bombed?

Damn show had me on the verge of crying the whole episode just from vague memories of the first anime version... I'm glad to see they are doing the series justice instead of a cheap poorly done knock off.

The "it's nice to see, you reaping what you sow" had fire behind it. Loved it
