This anime is fun to watch. Nothing too special but it's just good for kicking back and letting loose once in a while.

Nice episode, but the screaming and yelling between Yuki and Kyo is going to wear real thin real fast.

I agree with other posters... This series is just good for kicking back and relaxing while watching. It's not something you get REALLY into, or really awed by, but it's still quite enjoyable. :)

Yes... I'm definitely liking Kyo more. He does have an aura that draws people in, but Yuki seems like he genuinely doesn't like being around people... Plus I just don't like rats. ._.''

I loved it when the workers couldn't tell if Yuki was a "he or she" either, made me feel much better xD

It's really weird. You want something other people have yet they want what you have too. I guess humans are like that. But I really like Tohru. As what's been said, she prefers to trust rather than suspecting other people. I think this is the most wonderful thing about her. And of course her kindness too.

So Kyo want to enter the family and Yuki want to leave the family. Yeeeah, when you're deep into traditions, that won't work out.

Toru look like she had a good mom. To be this lively when you have lost your mother not long ago... She must either be insane or very strong.

Ugh the reboot got me all in my feels so I'm going back into this for a rewatch. I've already seen this so many times, each time is still just as refreshing and hilarious as the last - wait actually, it gets more funny with each rewatch I think, as I age I realize new things and appreciate it more.

For example I care for Yuki way more now. What a sweet boy! This indifference to being naked in public tho lmaoo

I only read a few volumes of the manga, but watching the anime, it reminds me of how much I liked Kyo. I think he might be the only tsundere that I really love lol but honestly. I must have been that type of girl back then haha I dont know how much of a fan I am of male tsunderes nowadays...

This episode was actually pretty good, kinda like Ranma in a way (not the fighting just the atmosphere and storytelling).

Tohru is really emphatic girl afterall, right? She may be airhead but with things of heart she sees everything clearly. And she is also pretty bold when needed. Must be tough on her that both of her parents are dead. Wonder how she gets friendly around Kagura the next time.

the last scene was wrong with many ways ><

really start to like tohru character, and from some reason it seems to me she's more wants to be friend of sohma than lover.

This is one of the episodes where I was introduced to Rich Man, Poor Man. But, anyway, going back to this episode: Yuki is envious of Kyo, and Kyo is envious of Yuki. I like how Tohru is acting as a therapist for the Sohma family starting with these two boys. That scene where Tohru accidentally hit Kyo with her school bag --- that was my favourite scene when I was a child. Hilarious! I was repeatedly rewinding that gloriously hilarious scene in DVD. The secret base episode where Tohru and Kyo are bonding in the rainstorm while protecting the garden --- glorious! I love the candle analogy. The author is really putting her mark in as a manga artist especiaizing in emotional therapy as she puts in lovely words in her characters!
