Long before I sat down to write these 12 Days of Anime posts, I knew that I’d be writing about Attack on Titan Season 3’s basement reveal. How could I not? It was, arguably, one of the biggest anime-related events of 2019. I would be remiss, as an aniblogger, not to write about it!
I’d like to apologise for the brevity of today’s post. This week my husband and I closed on our first home! Since then, all of our free time has been spent resisting the urge to strangle each other as we attempt to put together an entire home’s worth of flatpack furniture. So, yeah, my brain is completely fried! It also doesn’t help that this week’s episode was probably the weakest so far. It wasn’t bad, per se, it just failed to bring anything new to the table… We didn’t meet any new characters, we didn’t learn anything new about the ones who we’ve already met, and there were no new developments in the story. That being said, it did endear me to poor, sweet Hatori…
In keeping with Fruits Basket’s tendency to follow happy, joyous parts of the story up with more sad and somber ones, following last week’s upbeat, energetic episode, this week we’re treated to a much more subdued and bittersweet one. During this, we learn more about Momiji, that he was rejected by his mother who, subsequently, had all her memories of him wiped. We also got to watch Tohru mark the anniversary of her mother’s death by visiting her grave. So, what about this episode stood out to me? Well…
Watashi Wa Bucho!!
