Fruits Basket 2019 Season 2 Episode 14
Fruits Basket: Unpopular Opinions on "That's Right"
Okay, let's talk about Fruits Basket 2019 Season 2, Episode 14. "That's Right." It's a big one, right? But am I the only one who feels… certain things?
I'm bracing myself. This might get controversial. But let's dive in!
Yuki's Angst: Relatable, but...
We get a heavy dose of Yuki's internal turmoil. He's struggling with his identity. He compares himself to Kyo. Fair enough.
Must Read
Honestly, his angst is understandable. Who hasn't felt inadequate sometimes? But did anyone else find it a little... much?
I mean, Kyo is right there! You are both so cute and have your own charm!
Mach-chi: The Adorable Powerhouse
On the flip side, we have Mach-chi. She's trying to get her groove back. It can be tough being Student Council president!
Seriously, I love her. She is so stoic, yet a total sweetheart deep down. Her interactions with Yuki are pure gold.
Unpopular opinion: I was more invested in her storyline in this episode. Sorry, Yuki!
The Curse's Grip: It's Depressing, Okay?
The episode reminds us about the zodiac curse. It's a heavy theme, obviously. And we see how it affects everyone.
I get it. It's tragic. It makes me sad for Tohru. But sometimes, it feels like we're just spinning our wheels.
Can we get some curse-breaking already? My tear ducts are getting tired!
Shigure: Still a Creep, Still Entertaining
Oh, Shigure. The ever-enigmatic, perpetually scheming dog. He's always up to something.
He drops hints about Akito. He stirs the pot. He's… Shigure. I find him strangely entertaining.
Yes, he's manipulative. Yes, he's probably a terrible person. But I can't help but enjoy his antics, a little. Don't judge me!
Akito's Shadow: Looming Large
Akito is ever-present, even when they aren't physically there. Their control is suffocating. You can feel it.
The fear they instill in the zodiac members is palpable. It's unsettling and effective storytelling. I will give them that.
But honestly, I am so ready for Akito to get their comeuppance. Anyone else with me?
The Episode's Pace: A Slow Burn?
This episode felt a little slow. It sets the stage for future events. But it lacked a certain punch.
Maybe it's because I'm impatient. Maybe I just want more plot development. Is that too much to ask?
Perhaps I just wanted a bit of levity, or fun. A touch of Hana-chan's aura would have been wonderful.
Final Verdict: Good, Not Great
Overall, "That's Right" is a good episode. It has important character development. It reinforces the central themes.
But it didn't blow me away. It felt a little… predictable. Is it just me?
I still adore Fruits Basket. But this episode? Just a solid B+ in my book. Now, bring on the next one!
So, what do you guys think? Am I totally off-base? Let me know your thoughts! I am ready for your comments!
