I have the feeling that we won’t get a really clear picture of things until we’re given a more detailed explanation of the zodiac curse & it’s connection to the legend. One thing we learned this week is that Soma members who don’t correspond to a zodiac animal at least have a chance at a normal childhood, while the cursed children all suffer some degree of neglect from their parents & seem to be regarded as Akito’s “pets”. Her approach seems to be convincing them that they are useless/worthless so they should love her unconditionally for any attention she shows them even if it’s abusive, because it’s all they can hope for. She seems to have particularly targeted Yuki. His helping Tohru as a child appears to be the defining moment in realizing he can have value apart from Akito. I also think Akito’s particular dislike of Momiji is because he continues to act cheerful inspite of his family situation

Shigure is very difficult to read. He seems to relish the role of a scoundrel/troublemaker. I don’t think he’s actually malicious but seems to accept people getting hurt as a necessity. Seems like he thinks Tohru can maybe “break the curse” as an outsider who can touch & change the hearts of others. 
As much as I dread seeing what Akito will wind up doing, I think the real heartache will be a result of the changing  relationship between Tohru, Yuki & Kyo. For the record, as much as I have come to sympathize for Yuki the past couple weeks, I’m still rooting for Kyo.

 

 

Agree 100% with everything you said. Kyo is my guy until the very end but I absolutely hope that Yuki gets his moment as well. 

Just started Noragami & it's pretty good so far. Only 12 episodes so it won't take long. 

Very nice to meet you. Hope you have a great time here  

Welcome in! Hope you have a good time here

After watching episode 7.  As if we needed more reason to dislike Akito. Dang, she’s twisted.
 

*SIGHS* Something about this episode just made me sick to my stomach. Like when they were walking to go see Akito it was like they were walking to a damn funeral or being led into a den of monsters to be eaten alive. Such a sense of deep dread & despair hung over the entire interaction. Akito seems keen to isolate certain victims that she finds the most vulnerable & it is just so damn unnerving & infuriating at the same time!

And I think I got a better sense of what Shigure's angle is in all this but I still don't agree. He's trying to force certain members of the clan to fight back against Akito & while I get that, I simply do not agree with how he's going about it at all. 

WANT!

Just finished Elfen Lied & Another, now watching When They Cry 

I've just started watching When They Cry but I'm already in love with the OST

Just found out that today is Vanessa's birthday 

An apple & a bowl of diced mango chunks.

1. Never kick me when I'm down, because when I get back up you're screwed!

2. Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision. 

Welcome in & looking forward to getting to know you. As far as classics go, I'm afraid Sailor Moon is the only one I can name since I am a much newer anime fan. 

Nice to meet you. Hope you enjoy your time here & looking forward to getting to know you.

I just watched the latest episode & good grief, I can see why Shigure's animal is the dog. Sheesh. 

And Hiro needs to cool it on what he says to Tohru. I get it that he's young but he is well aware that he is being rude & he just need to knock it off!

My heart cried out in joy for Yuki and what he said at the end about no longer being in the dark. I even clapped. I just couldn't help myself because he clearly suffers from some degree of PTSD due to the torture that Akito put him through so what a powerful moment for him. 

And Rin....SMH! Her part made me so damn angry I just wanted to scream because poor Haru...

Welcome in. There is always room for another extraordinary My Hero Academia fan

My thoughts on Akito is that on one hand she was raised believing that she was essentially a god as far as the Soma family was concerned anyway. But at the same time with no regard as to her individuality, just the role she was expected to play. The result is an arrogant, self centered but miserable person (if “god” is unhappy, what right does anyone else have to be happy?) The impression I get is that Shigure is actually trying to use Tohru to teach Akito a lesson. That kindness can be stronger than hate & hope can be stronger than despair. It’s a risky gamble considering just how unstable Akito is & even though Tohru puts on a cheerful face, there’s a lot trauma beneath the surface. His comment in one earlier episode about being willing to be hated suggests he fully expects Tohru, Kyo and/or Yuki to get hurt (physically or emotionally) in the process.

I completely agree with you & what makes me so nervous is that I think that Shigure's plan will ultimately succeed but at what cost, you know? Like who's gonna get leveled by Akito while in the midst of one of her narcissistic rages & will there be any hope of repairing whatever damage gets done? 

Can I just say that I wish we could do like a virtual brunch or coffee hour or something to discuss this in real time because I'm having the best time discussing Fruits Basket with you guys 

Your art is so awesome @Kity
