I cry with this

2025-04-07 22:13:00 +0000 UTCMan, this show is a breath of fresh air and a punch in the gut all at once. I know I'm gonna cry typing this, but here we go. I've always been very close to my mom. She's rough around the edges, and she didn't always have the answers I needed growing up, but she's given me so much. She fed my hunger for learning, gave me the colors I needed to paint my inner world, and accepted every part of me, even the parts I had trouble accepting myself. She's the moral compass in my head, and the deep compassion in my heart, and I love her with everything I am. My anxiety makes me think about the inevitable day that she'll be taken from me. I don't know when, or where, or how, but it will happen to her as it will to us all. I try not to let it dwell, but I'm scared to live in a world where she's not there, a world without my guiding light. I can only hope that when it does, I'll have friends as great as Tohru to help me get through it. I appreciate that not only do Tohru's friends love her deeply, but Hanajime and Uo have a solid relationship with each other as well. Thank you for sharing your memories of your mom. I know she's proud of both of you, the good you put into the world, and the community of people you've brought together. Sending love to you both, and to your entire family this week.

2025-02-26 03:08:47 +0000 UTCHi J&J! Sorry in advance for the long comment 🙈. You've reached my favorite episode of Furuba! Momiji is my favorite side character with Hanajima (Tohru's friend in black) and this episode breaks my heart every time. I think his character is the closest to Tohru's, as they are both selfless and always smiling. The fact that the author chose to make him the rabbit zodiac sign is beautiful to me as it reminds me of the folktale of the Moon rabbit (though I'm not sure if it's intentional or not). It's a tale that has many variations in Asian culture. The story goes like this: The Old Man of the Moon came down to Earth one day to test the kindness of three animal friends (a monkey, a rabbit, and a fox). Transformed as a beggar, the Old Man of the Moon wanted to know who was the kindest out of the three. He approached the friends, who were sitting around a fire, and asked if they had any food to spare. The monkey gathered an abundance of fruit for the beggar. The fox brought the man a fish. But the rabbit did not have anything to give and offered to give himself as a sacrifice to the man by throwing himself into the fire and allowing the beggar to eat him. Before the rabbit could do so, the Old Man of the Moon transformed back into his original form. He said that the rabbit was a very kind soul and took the rabbit to live with him on the moon. That's supposed to be why you can see a rabbit on the moon pounding mochi (rice cake) or medicine (depending on the culture). It's a reminder that hope for a better tomorrow is possible through generosity and selflessness. A perfect description of Momiji if you ask me 🥰.

2025-02-25 13:16:18 +0000 UTCJared and Jordan thank you so much for always sharing with us about your constant struggles and demonstrating such emotional strength through dealing with grief it honestly helps way more than you think it might...also I wanted to remind you guy's (specifically Jrodan) that both Momiji and Akito are male.

2025-02-23 06:04:23 +0000 UTCThe 2001’s version of fruits basket was my very first anime. I watched it for the first time when I was around 11 or 12, at the very same time I was going through something that, was very painful emotionally. The words that Momiji said gave me hope that it wouldn’t hurt someday, and that no matter how long I had to wait, I would be okay.

2025-02-22 07:33:13 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say thank you for being so open about your experience and for sharing it with us. Your reaction and comments really made me tear up, your honesty is truly inspiring and admirable. I didn’t relate to this episode as much when I first watched it, but this time, it reminded me of my grandpa, who recently started showing noticeable memory issues. We’re still not sure about the diagnosis, but when he stared at me for a couple of minutes, trying to recognize me, and then asked how school was going, even though I graduated almost six years ago, it hit me in a way I’d never felt before. That emptiness and pain were completely new to me. It’s incredible how this show can bring out emotions like that. Thank you again for this wonderful reaction. Wishing all the best to you and your family! (I recently saw your video with your sister on YouTube Shorts and was amazed by how beautiful your family is😁)

This genuineness only makes your reactions more endearing. Love going on the Fruba journey with you. Momiji is so very intuitive. His ability to recognize needs in others is his super power. I’m so glad he has Tohru to confide in. He deserves a soft place to fall.

2025-02-21 06:19:00 +0000 UTCHi again, J&J! I've commented a long comment in the last episode so I'll try to keep this one short. You won't know how much I've cried reading this episode in the manga for the first time in my teens.(They didn't have anime of FRUBA yet then) In fact, I think this was the very first episode I've cried in any manga. I didn't know why it hit me so bad then, but when I grew up and think about it, I think I had so many memories I wanted to erase unconsciously back then. I didn't lose any of my family members, but still, I really had a hard time. (My parents had divorced when I was young child, and I lived alone with my grandparents even though I had six siblings. and so on...) But as a reality, we can't let go any of our memories even if we wanted and let us suffer for a long time. Nevertheless, as I commented last episode, I remembered all of those sad memories, and now those became the key how to not let my children feel the same way as I did. Nothing is meaningless, everything is my sustenance for my life... and FRUBA taught me this. :) I knew you'd love this episode too. It makes me really happy when you take your time and see what's in yourselves so no need to apologize stopping in the episode. :) Thank you for sharing your feelings. Have fun and take care!

2025-02-21 02:41:36 +0000 UTCHey Jared and Jordan! I loved watching yalls reaction to this episode, and have been eagerly waiting for it for awhile. Momiji's backstory is easily one of the most devastating of them all, and I literally can't stop myself from crying every time I rewatch this episode. I can't imagine my mom saying that her biggest regret in life was giving birth to me, and as I am a mother myself, I can't imagine saying that about my daughter. This episode in itself shows you how deep the scars of the Soma family truly are, and it indeed feels all too real. I too want to believe that, that not a single memory is okay to forget. I wanna be as strong and Momiji and Tohru, despite all the heartache of life. As for what was happening with Kyo, I can't wait for yall to learn more! A great story for another day. I just wanna say thanks again for going on this journey of Fruits Basket with me, and everyone else. I am absolutely loving it so far, and I'm glad I can share one of the things I love with yall! Glad you are both doing well! Until next week 💜❤️

2025-02-20 21:17:51 +0000 UTCMomiji's backstory is extremely sad, it makes me tear up every time I hear his story...he went through so much, but just like Tohru he is always so cheerful, he looks carefree and happy but is hurting so much...

2025-02-20 20:44:36 +0000 UTCYou both have come so far in these past 3 years in how you’re coping during this painful time. It’s wonderful that your memories of your mom are more joyful, less painful and that she’s still close to your hearts. FRUBA is going to bring you many moments that make you reflect, question and reminisce. Thinking of you both with love. You know I keep you in my heart 🫂💜🫂💜
