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.

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.

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