Your feelings about comparison between Furuba manga and anime are justified and valid don’t feel bad about expressing your opinions and criticism.

We manga readers are beyond happy to finally have it all animated but (some of us at least) don’t put anime on pedestal and are truthful about it’s flaws.

And it pisses me off when anime only people or anybody else really attack us for it and just want us to shut up like season 3 isn’t disappointing.... but we have every right to say we are sad because they gave us hope about EVERYTHING being animated now they are cutting it short and skipping important scenes. I just don’t get it. If this were the plan all along, 13 ep - why not hurry up in season 1 or 2 already and not dragging it. Season 3 is the most emotional and important yet it is just done in a horrible way.

Why Motoko, random people and some scenes that make no sense can make it to the anime, yet not Tohru (she was done so dirty, her whole growth in just one ep???? ), skipping Kyoru scenes from the start, but we were mostly quiet. Now Yuki and Machi make no sense because they just cut their slow development off. Probably Kakeru and his gif won’t make it too. And rip Kyoko, while some dont want Katsuya animated because it disturbes them, well its a part of the story and well its who Kyoko was. Life too is not all right but we don’t cancel people even if they are morally grey, do bad things.... love who they love. Im sorry to hear people are disturbed by their relationship but oh how do they deal with life then... stories are supposed to show characters like this lmao.

Hope u have a great day and just so u know, your blog is awesome :)

Okay this is really sweet. Thank you so much for the ask.

I agree that people shoud be able to say or write whatever they want (as long as we don't cross the line of attacking other people for a work of fiction).

If you are the tagging type, maybe just tag it because other people visit the tags and if they want to block it, it's easier that way, To be fair, I didn't do that and that's on me. I didn't think the occasional posts about some adaptation choices would be enough to make people think I'm hate-watching the show.

I agree with you when you said that if they knew how many episodes they had from the begining, there were things they could have cut like the Mokoto stuff (I really hate the Mokoto stuff, I HATE it, they adapted that instead of sexual tension and I'm forever bitter) or the horror house in season 2 (although I really loved to see it animated), I also think it's completely valid to be disapointed when we were promised a full adaptation and then we don't get it.

Plus, the adaptation just said Fuck off Yuchi and kinda took away a lot of Kyoru moments from the begining that I wish was there (the sexual tension and Kyo's apology after true form are two scenes that comes to mind)

Also Tohru's arc really got screwed over and I really have an issue with the main female character getting shafted (especially considering Tohru is my favorite character) and instead of getting the Tohru season we were supposed to get, we get the Tohru episode.

I do want to defend the anime though,

Again your disapointment is entirely valid, and I'm really not trying to dismiss that but for me, the anime is still a good adaptation (I might be biased because I lived through the disapointment that was the promised Neverland season 2 and fruits basket 2019 will never reach that level of just BAD *shudder*)

We are still in the middle of a pandemic and we have no idea how that impacted fruits basket and we don't know if we were supposed to get 13 episodes of season 3 from the begining (I think we were personally but we don't know).

Plus the episodes we did get animated have been mostly bangers this season. I never cried before while watching the anime before (the manga made me cry several time before) but I cried twice this season already. It means they are maybe doing some things right at least ? I think they might be doing theirs best with what they have and personally I'm still happy to see some of the scenes I want to see animated and done well (except for the whole Yeeting people everywhere).

For Kakeru's gf arc, I do like it in the manga and I do like how it ties to Tohru's grief but I don't mind it that much because that felt more planned than the other cuts since they reduced the hints that Kakeru knew Tohru from somewhere since season 2 so I guess, I was prepared (also I'm just gonna continue shipping Yukeru in the anime even more).

On the Kyoko front, I think it's complicated. I genuinely don't like Kazuya and I absolutely understand why people didn't want to see it and to be honest, avoiding The teacher/middle schooler relationship in a series where there are a lot of inapropriate age difference was a good idea, but I do think he and her backstory brought something more to Tohru's story and added so much to the advice Kyoko gave to Uo and Kyo and just characterise Kyoko even more. Also Baby!Tohru. Just Baby Tohru.

Again thank you for the ask. That was so sweet !! made my day.

Reylo / Star Wars Quiz

A huge thanks to @dyadinthefxrce and @supremeprince-bensolo for tagging me! It feels nice to know that other people know that I exist

I feel terrible that this took so long for me to reply!

Also, like most of the other participants, my answers are either very close or exactly theirs.

1. When did you start shipping Reylo?

After I first saw The Force Awakens in theaters, I did not ship this. About a week later, I was casually browsing on AO3 when a fic for this ship popped up. I read the whole thing in one sitting and started shipping it from that day on.

2. Favourite Reylo moment?

While I have several (when I saw several, it means all of them), my favorite is the handing of the lightsaber through the Force Dyad. Don’t get me wrong, I live for the Reylo kiss and the throne room scene, but when they passed the saber behind their backs, it had an impact like no other. I can assure you that there was screaming in the theater when this happened.

3. Three words to describe Reylo?

Conflicted, sympathetic, and balanced.

4. Favourite thing about Reylo?

I’m a sucker for conflicted characters. I am in complete love with how Rey was able to break through to Ben and how they just WORK TOGETHER.

Also everything else. Don’t fight me.

5. Favourite character?

I am torn between Ben Solo and Anakin Skywalker. (Like I mentioned before, I love conflicted characters) Anakin was fighting to be good, and the darkness eventually overtook him, but Ben is fighting to be bad, but the light eventually overtook him.

I like them for who they are- NOT THAT THEY ARE CUTE OR HOT.

6. Favourite droid?

From the moment I saw him on screen, BB8 was my child. I love him, and his little droid sass. R2

7. Favourite planet?

It’s between Tatooine and Mustafar. I’m always in for nostalgia and throwbacks to Tatooine, but Mustafar has always fascinated me. Also, I’m obsessed with the Anakin and Obi-Wan fight.

8. Favourite spaceship?

Millennium Falcon. Once I first laid eyes on it, I was completely obsessed with it. It will always be my favorite!

9. Favourite alien species?

While I love literally any alien species that Star Wars can throw at me, the Vultpex caught my eye. I am in love with foxes and crystals, and for them to show a species that literally combined those two things, I was sold immediately!

10. Favourite actor/actress?

While I have several in and out of Star Wars, Adam Driver is my personal favorite. His delivery of how conflicted Kylo was with his father and wanting to be just like Vader was stunning! Also, his little smile broke my heart 🥺

11. How did you get into Star Wars?

As a young girl, my dad was watching TPM on the couch in our living room. Having nothing better to do, I sat with him and watched it. Keep in mind that I asked questions about every five minutes, which pissed him off. From there, I loved the movie. When I got older, I asked him if we could marathon all the movies before TFA came out. Since I was older, a new appreciation and love for them grew from there.

12. Most memorable Star Wars moment?

Around the time when TFA came out when my dad and I marathoned all the Star Wars movies in one sitting. My mom and brother were away for the weekend, so I was able to spend the whole time with my dad as we made inside jokes and asked each other questions.

13. Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader?

Anakin Skywalker. Again, this is getting repetitive, but I love conflicted characters. The way that he outwardly fights against the darkness and his inward conflict with Padme and Obi-Wan honestly touches my heart.

14. Ben Solo or Kylo Ren?

Ben Solo. Kylo Ren is a mask, just another person that Ben strives to be. Ben is not Kylo, he never was, but he tries to hard to be him. He is fighting against the light, but eventually succumbs to it.

15. OT, PT or ST?

There is no real answer for this. I love them all and it honestly depends on my mood.

16. TLJ or ESB?

While I have a strong passion for both and cannot really say I like one more than the other, TLJ has a very slight overtake. Mostly because of Reylo.

17. ROTS or ANH?

How am I expected to choose? If I was forced to, I would end up saying ROTS. I love ANH, but the struggle and conflict in Anakin, along with the battle on Mustafar just slightly pulls ROTS ahead for me.

18. ROTJ or TFA?

TFA. While I still love ROTJ, the new characters and overall story line of TFA have grown a special place in my cold, dead heart.

19. TPM or TROS?

Despite all the problems about it, I like TROS more than TPM. Don’t get me wrong, they’re both okay movies, but my Reylo side is screaming at me in my head and if I don’t listen to it, it will probably slit my throat.

20. Rogue One or Solo?

I don’t understand all the hate that these two movies get! I loved them both, btu Rogue One pulls ahead just slightly for me.

21. Favourite quote?

All of them. Like seriously all of them. I cannot choose. Don’t expect an answer.

22. Favourite meme?

I do not have one. All Star Wars memes are beautiful content that should be protected at all costs.

23. Favourite gif?

24. If you could change one thing about the Skywalker Saga what would it be?

By popular response, it’s Ben surviving. HE HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL. Even if he had just showed up as a Force Ghost with no lines, it would have been better. Also, Rey should have said “Just Rey” INSTEAD OF “Rey Skywalker”

While I am trying to avoid going on a rant, I think that her saying that destroyed her character arc a bit.

25. Top 3 Star Wars movies?

TFA, ROTS, and TLJ. I love Ben and Anakin, so that was mostly what shoved these to the top. I have a special different love for each one, but with all the amazing performances and beautiful visuals, these three are my favorite.

Thanks again for tagging me!

I will tag these humans: @matt-the-reylo-supporter, @pocketshenanigans

idk anyone else that likes star wars ;-;
