| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, school is back in session with a new semster. Yuki's fan club is back again too lol.. Naohito and Toudou also makes appearances. I find it slightly amusing that Toudou kinda represents the anti-Yuki Club with her personality. Yuki better get used to the both of them at school. Both of these characters should spice up drama a bit this season. |
 |
| Oh yes, the rest of the student council is here, Kimi and Naohito. The op slightly changes this episode including Kureno side by side with Rin. Yuki - student council episode full of chaos this episode, also the Yuki Fanclub will have a hard time dealing with Kimi. Kakeru mentioning 'just like her' can't wait to see her too. Machi being quiet the entire time, I want to see more of her. oh, Haru said that at the end. |
 |
| It's so good for Yuki to finally gain an "equal" in school that's unrelated to his family. |

| I was hoping for the new OP, oh well... Very good. |
 |
| That episode took a turn, for the better. Every episode this season has been top quality. Yuki’s fan club tho! |
| I absolutely loved this episode! It was great to finally meet Kimi and Naho, and to get a good look at what exactly the student council dynamic is going to be like. Particularly with Yuki and Kakeru. I’m excited to see their friendship grow. The picking color scene was fantastic, I was laughing so much. & Machi’s face when Yuki asked her what color she likes!!! My only disappointment was that there wasn’t a new opening and ending. I was really hopeful there would be, since this seemed like a perfect episode for one, with school starting back. However, with the addition of Kureno to the opening scene with Rin, I’m wondering if we’ll get a second opening at all... |
| So, they are back in school. It was good to see Arisa and Saki. The Yuki fan club never fail to amuse me lol. |
 |
| I never really liked the council in the manga.. and neither do I do now sigh |

| After everything I seen up until now this weeks episode was a little anticlimactic. |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| my favorite part of the manga, finally. i could watch a whole anime about the student council. the 5 personalities are just so well balanced it's insane |
 |
| And we are back at school. Where is my new opening and ending? It's weird to have the Beach arc opening when summer vacation is over... Well, at least we got to see Kureno and his bird form, so we now have all 13 zodiacs in the Beach arc opening. But gimme a new opening, seriously! Anyway, this episode combined chapters 66 and 73. Well, most of chapter 66. The rest was covered in episode 11. We get to meet 2 new council members, Kimi and Naohito. Together with Machi and Kakeru now we have met everyone. Poor Yuki has to deal with 4 weird people in the student council. Hang in there Yuki. There were 2 misstranslations in Horriblesubs version. At 00:57 Kyou should be saying about Uotani: "I didn't think she was the type for that sort of thing." Which is why Hanajima says to him: "Oh my, that's strange for YOU to say." And then she laughs. (BTW, they are talking about falling in love.) 2nd misstranslation was at 06:27 when Naohito tries to say to Yuki that he is his rival and Kakeru butts in and says:"He's your 1st love? Do your best, shorty! I definitely WON'T be cheering for you!" Next episode we get more of Rin! <3 It will be chapters 69-70. |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| I still stand by the fact Yuki is the best-written, most "human" character in the series. The other members of the student council aren't the most interesting to me, but I can tolerate them because those episodes inevitably shine a spotlight on Yuki-kun Yun-Yun. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| the student council seems like a bunch of obnoxious toxic bastards that kick to the tray with seedlings.... a total psycho move, like, you need some help boi! must be sohma too. and if not... damn, what a dumb, scary character without even the poorest excuse such as being 'just another crazy sohma'. a good match for Rin with her 'imma smash your head now' psychohorse kick |

| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| I thought this was going to be a nice fun episode, a break from the heavy eps but no! The scene at the end made my heartthrob. I just want Yuki to be happy and I'm hoping that Kakeru can be someone he can open up to and rely on, a friend who is separate from the Zodiac secret because that's what Yuki really needs. I'm instantly not a fan of Kimi... she is really annoying. I like Nao though! |
 |
| Man, what a pain in the ass the Student Council is. It's nice to hear Rumi Okubo though, and I like the quiet girl. |
| Ah yes another part of the manga I was excited for to get adapted! I've always loved that there are 5 different personalities in the student council! I also loved how they did the final scene so perfectly!! definitely 5/5 for me! |
 |
| Poor Yun-Yun, sorry, Yuki has a lot on his plate now school is back in session. The council has gotten a lot more hectic with the new additions of the scheming Kimi and the angry short brat Naohito, so things will be pretty amusing at the council from here on out. Kakeru is already proving to be an interesting character. Although it was a dick move of him to kick the flower tray out of Yuki's hands during their heated argument, but it did give the both of them a chance to vent their anger at each other, as well as being honest about their faults and apologising, too. At least the both of the are back on good terms with each other now. Yuki needed someone like Kakeru to help him, even if it meant that they came close to decking each other. I do look forward to seeing how their friendship evolves in the future. Nice episode. =) |
| oh yikes, we get to see the student council again and what a damn mess it is XD |
 |
| I found this episode rather annoying! The student council seem to be filled by a bunch of annoying people. Hope we don't see a lot of them because I really don't care for any of them. Yuki and Machi seem to be the only normal ones right now. |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| The remainder of Chapter 66's content and Chapter 73 was adapted for this episode. This episode had a few scenes and bits of dialogue removed at points from what was adapted and a noticeable change in time depicted with combining Chapter 66 and 73's events together. In addition, this episode marks the anime debut of the two remaining new student council members with Kimi and Naohito. Here were changes I noticed in this episode: -Following Saki and Kyo’s exchange, there is a removed scene where a male student was asking for anyone interested in participating in a bowling tournament after school. Tohru turned the request down because she has to work after school. But the classmate and Arisa start teasing Tohru, assuming she is going on a date. This gets Tohru flustered and Kyo then asks what is going on, before asking the others to quit teasing Tohru. -Throughout the scenes adapted from Chapter 73, all the students were shown in their winter uniforms in the manga instead of their summer ones. -Some details to comment on with the scene during Yuki’s monologue about Kakeru…
-When Kimi brought the whiteboard to the student council room, there was a small bit removed from the scene for the anime that showed Kimi charming a teacher into letting her have it. -The argument with Kimi, Kakeru, and Naohito was extended a bit for the anime. -When Kakeru was observing Tohru, she was shown talking with Yuki near the Horticulture Club’s flowers in the manga instead of walking home with Kyo. -During Yuki and Kakeru’s argument, there was some inner dialogue from Yuki regarding his thoughts on his happiness that got removed from the anime. -Kakeru’s response to the Horticulture Club member was extended a bit for the anime. In addition, some lines from Yuki’s inner monologue in the scene were removed for the anime. -During Kakeru’s apology to Kyo, only one other male student was with Kyo in the manga instead of two. |
| Hmmm...the student council members definitely are not my cup of tea, three of them are pretty annoying. The fight between Yuki and that vice-president was interesting and I could see where it was going, but all I could think about while they were fighting was WOW, did that idiot really have to do that to the plants? Talk about overreaction, what did the poor plants ever do to you?! |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| This episode just made me hate Yuki even more... I just can't stand him at all. Like watching him infuriates me. He is almost victimizing himself at this point, he literally has a victim complex. |

| Pity the subs didn't show that Kimi refers to herself in the third person. It brought out the annoyingly cutesy aspects of her character more when used in the manga. |
| Butterflies don't belong in nets. |
| Toudou and Manabe need to diaf. |
| You know? I almost felt bad for Yuki here. Having to deal with such... eccentric people must be so frustrating, especially when Kakeru decides to go full retarded. His goofy/stupid side kinda irritates me, not gonna lie. Overall, it was a weak episode if I'm honest. I mean, I really like the idea of Yuki opening up to other people outside of his usual social circle but I only wish the personalities of the student council's members weren't so "extreme". Especially in Kakeru's case, whose drastic changes between emotions looked more jarring than anything else. So, Haru-focused episode next time? Guess we will know more about Rin as well so I'm particularly looking forward to it. |
| I do like how this season has been balancing both Kyo and Yuki developments quite well, almost back and forth with the recent eps. This time around Yuki starting to be more accepting with others, and even bonding with someone apart from Honda, which is honestly a big step for him tbh I'm actually glad there wasn't a new one. This one is just too good lmao |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| I kinda disliked him Kakeru at first glance but in a few chapters I got used to him, he's a cool guy. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| I honestly can not stand Kakeru. He is garbage! I am curious about Yuki calling Kuragi and her reaction to that. She seems like a very interesting character I am looking forward to learning more about her. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Summer 2025 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Kimi seems interesting. She's cute too! I honestly thought she was like a double of Tohru in the beginning lol |
 |
| Machi seems kind of mysterious. She reminds me of Rin with her cold eyes. Not much has been revealed on either yet. |
| Some find the student council parts annoying some find it boring.... I must admit I didn't care a lot about these parts in my first reading of the manga either. But coming back to the story after some rereads I've come to appreciate them more... Especially for Yuki's growth and development! So yeah I was looking forward to this episode. It was a nice break from the usual furuba. Kimi I think I actually like more than before Machi... I can't wait for more machi ... She didn't even say a word this episode! Nao is eeh to me And kakeru although he can be too much sometimes I still find him to be entertaining and I like his dynamic with yuki |

| Back to school for Tohru and the rest, now that summer break is a done deal. Speaking of school...the Yuki Fan Club is back once again to draw more ire as their endless antics parade around the always-beautiful bishounen. Always a happy and funny time for the Fan Club in distress being at buttheads with the Student Council "seductress" of a secretary. And then the draw to the Student Council from the few episodes prior...what a low-brow tactic, but now being heralded as the president, Yuki has to stand strong. One thing's for sure: with a band of troublemakers, his getting along is in for a path written in rough patch: a chuunibyou-esque double-faced vice president, a rowdy shorty secretary, a seducting secretary, and a cold and aloof but bullied treasurer. Anything but full of hilarity. But when things that are Tohru-related to Yuki comes up, his comparison with Kyou is simply unmatched, but to the outsider, it's as much as a mere shrug of concern. His trauma of being inferior isn't as much over as his experiences with Akito, that's for sure. For the vice president Kakeru Manabe, he might have just been Yuki's MVP this episode in character development. At first, I'd thought like his dynamic with Yuki was worlds apart, but his temperament with wanting to think like Yuki just about changes his persepective to be in his shoes. Another great episode, Fruits Basket has always been very consistent so far. |
 |
| Back to school after the beach arc. The op changes slightly and overall a good ep. |
 |
| Back to this show's obnoxious, unfunny comedic worst, with yet more annoying characters thrown into the mix. I don't know how this show can continue to create new characters who are this annoying when the existing cast already have plenty of obnoxious members to go around. And I know we've already seen Kakeru, but he's infuriating: how in the world did he manage to get onto any student council? How did any of them, for that matter? Yep, Kakeru is even worse than Kagura. I didn't know that was possible, yet here we are. |

He is almost victimizing himself at this point, he literally has a victim complex. he literally admits he's not the victim and that he has to solve the problem within himself... what a way to misunderstand a character |

| Love a good lighthearted and comedic episode of Fruits Basket every now and then. Of course it wouldn't be Fruba without a little bit of drama at the end. |
