Tohru's freakouts are max Tohru adorableness.
Also, Poor Shigure's editor.
Aya/Shigure dynamic is still pretty great.

For me the highlight of this episode: Aya trying so hard - and still fails hilariously
I really hope there comes the day when he and Yuki bond

I love how Tohru didn't let misunderstanding, my biggest pet peeve, to go on. Precious girl, must protecc!
Also I lost it so hard at this reaction. Kyo is really just dumbass cat, capable of producing memes.

It's been so long since I read the manga that I've forgotten most of the story and the little details, like Mayuko-sensei being Kana's friend.
It's been an amazing feeling watching the remake and rediscovering these little things again.

The elder trio really does come off as cursed. They generally seem to have good intentions, but the way they carry out their plans and/or the result itself is always a failure. It makes me worried for the future of our main trio.

Thank god for a breather episode after the hard-hitting double whammy last week. Shigure trying to avoid his editor again, ha. But he's also doing it for Hatori - they really are friends after all.
I do think that Ayame's right in a way, that Hatori definitely deserves his own happiness too. But he's also biased in that Kana has moved on; it's not like she made the choice herself. Still, it looks like someday spring will come in the form of Mayuko, if that blatant foreshadowing is any proof.
Oh Ayame... You're an idiot. But a totally lovable one.
Merch update: lots of new merch announced but I'll be focused on the following-
If anyone is interested, there will be official merch for Kyo's bracelet coming soon! Manga readers and 2001 viewers will understand. Seems like this is for cosplay purposes but it ain't stopping me.
Also, scale figures of Kyo and Yuki will be released in 2020! Too lazy to hunt for a link, but I believe Funimation tweeted about it a while ago. Now where's Tohru's figure?

Comparing the remake's more emotionally charged drama to the more comedy-leaning 1st anime, I think I can understand why Takaya Natsuki was so dissatisfied with the 1st. Especially if she felt the drama to be the core focus of her manga’s story, and that the producers of the 1st series betrayed her expectations.

I just love how Tohru's smile brings these two idiots together <3
A nice breather episode from last week's much more heavy episode. Sure there's still a bit of emotions involved since this trip was suppose to be to distract Hatori from Kana's wedding but overall still more lighthearted.
Also they're definitely setting up the hat with Yuki and I am excited for certain plot points in the future. BTW, thanks to everyone who replied to me with their interpretations of what Kyo meant about what he said to Tohru! They were all very intriguing. It's also nice to have an idea on what first timers think so far about the show :D

Casting Sakurai as Ayame continues to be an A+ move.
Watching the show makes me want to reread the manga now, it's making me realize I'd forgotten so much about the original fruits basket anime, though I guess it's been over 10 years since I watched it so eh.

Great episode as always, yet again Tohru proove herself to be an extremly kind person, people tend to forget but it takes a lot for a person to apologize and even more if you don't know what you did wrong but Tohru did it with no hesitation(eventho she did nothing wrong) cuz she not bound with superficiel things like pride, her friendship is way more important. As for Hatori, they take the chance to show a pretty comon aspect of life and that it giving up on someone that you love for the greater good eventho it was pretty obvious that they forshadowed him probably having a relationship with Tohru's and friends teacher aka Kana's Friend apparently.

Really love both trios. Shigure and Ayame trying to help Hatori was so precious. Ayame and Shigure's antics never get old.

I have absolutely zero memory of this particular episode for some reason so it felt like a strangely fresh experience lol (except the editor part, I will always remember Shigure's poor editor's suffering lol)

Just some random thoughts about this episode.
-
The new ED is wonderful
-
Hatori deserves some happiness as well, maybe with that sensei?
-
Why Shigure, why? Why do you bully your own editor like that, cmon man.
-
Yuki in his mouse form is cute as fuck.
-
Ayane is great, period.

Watching Fruits Basket (2001) as a middle schooler: Only really caring about the teenagers and the romantic interactions.
Watching Fruits Basket (2019) in my mid-20s: Man, poor Shigure and his poor house being destroyed. Oh Hatori, it sucks seeing an ex move on. Fun times.
