| Hell yeah!! Finally Machi x Yuki moment. This ship sailed finer than expected. Love this duo. So cute together for each other forever. And when Yuki embraced Machi by remembering the one person who would be there for him just melted my heart aflutter. Damn I want a Machi in my life too X= That end scene with Kyouko's POV was the final forgiving piece to Kyo's salvation. She entrusted her treasure to him. Aww With the series finale next episode, can we hope for a future story with all the ships from the ED or is it gonna be just partings? Anyway its gonna be missed. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| holy cow !!! tohru mom's backstory so fucking sad but beautiful at the end her story !!! that is why this anime score is so high !!! |
| The episode 11 looked like it's the last episode and this one as well. I thought I knew there are 13 epiodes, but during wathcing I was like "... is this really not a last episode?". Because how Kyo was talking about future and they showed it a bit, which is usually at the last episode. And how every couple got together, Akito (almost) apologized for her actions. When I was almost certain there is one episode left there were ending text (instead of usual ending song) during the scene. I had to check MAL for the number of episode. Do you know how it hurts when you think you have more episodes left, but it appears that you have just watched your last ep? :( Anyway I liked this episode. I am still not a fan of Akiro-Shigure relationship. It really is a toxic couple and they shouldn't get together. They might be happy now, because it looks like they are finally together and they can't really see what's underneath, but in a long way they will suffer. I think they would be much more happier if they found someone outside the Sohma's. About Yuki and Machi pairing - they wil sure have kids that will look like twins. Since their parents have similar traits - grey eyes, grey hair, lol. And they explained why Tohru's mother said she will never forgive him. I was wondering what she really meant, because I was 100% sure it wasn't like Kyo thought. I don't know what to expect in next episode, since everything is already explained. If I would put my lucky guess I would say they will show "the future" - like couples being marrier and kids. Since that is what is usually going on in that kinds of anime when everything is already clear. I have question to people who read manga - was this final season looked like that in manga as well? I know I have read it, but looong time ago and I don't recognize most of the scenes - is it my memory or they changed some things? (I will check if I even read it untill the end). |

| I just flooded my PC with my tears, but it's okay 👍. I am simply so damn glad I could experience Fruits Basket over the course of these last 2 and half years, without any spoilers or prejudices about it being a shoujo or anything like that...there had been some moments during season 1 where I thought bullying was a little bit overused, but looking it back now, I am so happy I had my personal journey with this wonderful anime: I cried, I laughed and I developed a very powerful bond with every character, so I am very grateful that everyone is getting their happy ending. A big thanks to TMS Entertainment and Natsuki Takaya sensei for making this possible<3 |
 |
| Excellent everything going smooth hopefully. |
| Machi X Yuki is obviously rushed. There's just that lack of bond between them in the perspective of the viewers, probably due to the lack of their "together moments". I was actually surprised when out of nowhere Machi went as far as asking to call Yuki by his first name. When they kissed, I was not surprised anymore and thought "yeah this is definitely rushed". A very sweet relationship still. I really like them and they're extremely cute together. That's really all I have to point out, the rest of the episode was just utterly brilliant. Nothing more to say. |

| Until that final few minutes of flashback, this episode was one of a sense of catharsis, seeing all the Zodiac freed from the chains that bond them and able to truly enjoy it and look to the future: Kyo and Tohru on one side, and Yuki and Machi on the other, as well as everyone else in between, it's so good to see them filled with hope like this. And then we got the flashback with Kyoko's dying thoughts, and that was absolutely heart-wrenching to watch her die. But then there was that catharsis once again, as we got confirmation that she didn't despise Kyo and that he doesn't have to feel all of the guilt that he does about it. Beautiful, beautiful episode. |
Everything worked out in the end. Really hard to believe the last episode is next week |
| Kyoko's scene was brutal, although now we know Kyo heard correctly. This felt like a final episode ngl. |
| Amazing how incredibly well adapted this episode was, such a fitting and well organized lead to the finale. That's definitely a solid 5/5, one of the best eps in this entire season. |
 |
| Definitely the best episode of the series. Haven't cried like that in a while. |
 |
| Ngl I didn't really care for the Yuki x Machi scene. The moments they had prior to this episode were definitely cute and I could see the chemistry, but the kiss and everything still felt pretty rushed. The bystanders' reactions were funny though. Don't really care for the Shigure x Akito ship either, although it's probably not meant to be seen as anything like Yuki and Machi's relationship. Didn't expect Akito to talk about Shigure like that - or any shoujo really lol. Damn they're really obsessed with one another. But otherwise, I loved the last half of the episode. Tohru being stubborn about going with Kyo was cute, and it was so heartwarming seeing him talk about his future so happily with his master. Kyoko's POV at the end was absolutely heartbreaking, I was barely able to hold back my tears. Loved her monologue. One episode left! Definitely gonna miss this show. |

It goes and basically shows you what happened and how all their kids look like. The story is about all their kids and I love it. Its only 13 chapters long though. I mean the anime took about a big chunk in the middle but it only took out that akito scene and it doesn't really matter as much as the other scenes that took out cuz its still the same result she not accepted in the zodiac which is good cuz it would be messed up if she was after all she did. oh cool okay! i wasn't too sure what fb another was about but that sounds really interesting so i think i will give it a read. if it's only 13 chapters long then i wonder if they would adapt that as a movie or ova or something hopefully??? and yes that totally makes sense and its great that the end result stays the same. the flashback of god shows him being quite caring and gentle with all the zodiac members and then you have akito who basically looks down on everyone and treats them like dirt - which is a HUGE difference from the original zodiac. thanks for the suggestion about fb another! |

| Damn, that was actually a really good episode. 5/5 |
| I lost interest in kyo x tohru, yuuki x machi is where its at. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| It was a big relief finding out that it was actually just a misunderstanding. |
 |
| that was so romantic of Yuki and Machi! oh nice! Tohru will go wherever Kyou would go... so Shigure is stuck with Akito huh... 5/5. oh man Fruba's gonna end! can't believe it! |

| It's actually unreal how good these few last episodes have been. Can't wait to see how they end the series. |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| So much happened in this one episode but it was one that perfectly concluded the story of the three Sohma boys who have been with Tohru since the beginning. In their own individual ways, they finally got what they deserved and it's been a beautiful, painful and striking journey that I'm glad I could be along for. The Yuki x Machi scene is one of my absolute favorites from the manga because I have a special place in my heart for Yuki and it was so emotional seeing them come together with mutual love and trust. This scene really highlights just how much they were made for each other too, just like the miracle that Yuki mentions. |
 |
| cried like a baby when kyo talked to tohru´s mum and when they showed her passing through the waves to her husband such a good episode. so sad that the next one is already the last episode :( |
| Here I thought that the episode would end on a light note when Yuki x Machi and the other ships sailed. They just had to break our hearts with the post credits scene with Kyoko's death. Man, was I not prepared for this. :( To think that tomorrow will be the final episode. I will miss this for sure. |
 |
| Yukia and Machi finally sailed~ The last scene with Kyouko hits |
| Yuki x Machi made my day, and that ending messed me up. Plan to watch the last episode tomorrow, this has been an outstanding season that is for sure. Just love all the development so much! |
 |
| Yuki and Machi! Finally! The ship has finally sailed! It was a long time coming and expected, but it's finally here. Can't believe in the past we used to think Yuki x Tohru or Kyo x Tohru. But now, I really love this ship. Machi and Yuki were made for each other, and they are so cute! What a kiss. Yuki went full prince charming mode on the overwhelmed Machi lol Why were people staring though? Is it that odd to see people kissing in public? I thought it wasn't that odd in Japan. Maybe because Yuki's so handsome or something? Nevermind, Yuki x Machi ^^ Glad to see the entire Soma family moving on with their lives, and even Akito too. At first, it was weird seeing her in women's clothing. But slowly I got used to it. Glad that even she's trying to find happiness, and she knows that she can't just say sorry and that'll be enough. It didn't occur to me that if she said sorry, it would've felt like she thought she was off the hook. But I did feel a simple apology wasn't enough, and I'm happy she realised that too, so she can live and atone, live as herself. Kyo and Tohru are so cute. It's so great seeing Kyo so full of life and hope. And bright, fulfilled Tohru is even more charming, something I didn't think was possible! That yellow dress looks really great on her. And we get the flashback to when Kyoko died. I had flashbacks to the flashback episodes in Season 2 when Tohru received news that her mother had been in an accident... That was so sad. And as I expected, somebody like Kyoko would never curse Kyo like that. She wouldn't forgive him if he didn't keep their promise and protect Tohru in her stead. So all those years, Kyo misunderstood. I hope Kyo too can slowly believe what Tohru believes already over time as they live their lives together. It was great that we didn't leave off with just Kyoko dying, but a glimpse into the afterlife where she can finally meet with the man she loves, the father of Tohru, once again. I can't believe this is ending I'm so sad T_T |
 |
| I can't even cry anymore... there's just so much beauty. |
 |
| Yuki x Machi has to be one of my favorite ships ever. Top three are Rin x Haru, Kyo x Tohru and Machi x Yuki. The other ships in the series are fun and nice but honestly, I don't care about them. Ngl, as much as Akito has grown on me, I still don't care for her and Shigure being a couple, I still think they're toxic as fuck. The end of this episode just broke my heart. |
| 臭い- |
| Fantastic episode. One of my favorites for sure. The last two or three minutes where we get to know what Tohru's mom was thinking in her last moments deeply touched me. 5/5 |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| Okay, and that's now officially the hardest that FB has made me cry. All of this time, Kyoko's dying wish was being granted. That moment when she saw Kyo in the crowd hit it all home and conjured up feelings reminiscent of when I first saw a certain scene in Clannad. |
 |
| Nice to see the Yuki and Machi ship officially set sail. Even if it felt slightly rushed. Shigure and Akito's relationship feels too twisted to feel happy about. Even with the explanation of why Kyouko said what she said it all feels to convenient... |
 |
| This anime really had to put a masterclass of a tearjerker scene at the end of Kyoko o(╥﹏╥)o Lots of happy and beautiful moments happening recently which we as viewers definitely needed after all these tragedies and sadness. |
 |
| This character development is so great that I want to give Shigure a divine punishment of playing with Akito's feelings and body when she was still living as a man. Though I'm glad to finally see Machi and Yuuki having a kissing scene and what's more, outside. What bold move! I finally get to see what will happen after their "bond" is severed. The things about Tohru's mom finally came to light. So that's what Kyou's talking about being "not forgiven". That ending was superbly created! I'm crying just watching this episode. >.< |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
