Fruits Basket (2019) – 05 [I’ve Been Fooling Myself]
For me, watching Fruits Basket is like watching a classic play. It’s the show where despite its familiar story beats, it still pulls out a satisfying emotional core because its heart is in the right...

Sarazanmai – 05-07

Sarazanmai – 08 [I Want to Connect, but We’ll Never Meet Again]
In a way, this is an episode where Sarazanmai breaks many of its formula: it’s the first episode where it doesn’t feature any dance routine, it’s the episode when finally the cops meet our leads for...

Carole & Tuesday – 08 [All the Young Dudes]

Fruits Basket (2019) – 09 [Yuki Was My First Love]
I think I’m not alone when saying that these last two episodes of Fruits Basket aren’t their best material. With the announcement that Fruits Basket is going to have 3 seasons, I can understand why....

Sarazanmai – 09 [I Want to Connect, But I Can’t Express It]
Well, I definitely didn’t see all this coming. Sarazanmai comes back in a big way, at least for me, now that every plot thread starts to go in the same direction. We have Kazuki, Toi and Leo are all...

Carole & Tuesday – 09 [Dancing Queen]
Episode 09 of Carole & Tuesday is essentially Brightest Mars part 2, as we spend an entire episode to the bottom half of the bracket. This is where I wish the staff spends that much attention to...

Carole & Tuesday – 10 [River Deep, Mountain High]
“Do the gravity bounce?” Once again it’s GGK’s performance becomes my favorite of this week, and Angela’s style still is too mainstream for my taste. With the pacing of this episode I am more certain...

Fruits Basket (2019) – 11 [A Really Wonderful Hot Spring]
Fruits Basket gets a bit better this week, though not by a wide margin. This week is a return of Momiji, the most childish character we’ve seen so far in this show (until we learn that he’ll reach...

Sarazanmai – 11 [I Want to Connect, so Sarazanmai]
I must admit that days after watching this finale I still can’t wrap my head around all the events happened in this episode. Sarazanmai ends in a happy tone, something I didn’t expect from Ikuhara to...

Carole & Tuesday – 11 [With or Without You]
Even with Carole & Tuesday standard, this episode is a letdown with many forced developments to move this predictable story forward. These include 1) Tuesday injures her hand but still manage to...

Fruits Basket (2019) – 12 [You Look Like You’re Having Fun]
More than any other episode, this week is where Fruits Basket embraces its two opposing spectrums the clearest: it’s reverse-harem hijinks of highschool life and romance and its dark drama about the...
