FRUITS BASKET- A RICE BALL IN A FRUITS BASKET-EPISODE 5-2 1/2 STARS

29. May 2008 by Ria.

This episode is a bit lame, ’cause we spend way too much time with Tohru’s psychologically disturbed relatives. Yes folks, she still has some blood hangin’ around, only it’s bad blood, a witch aunt and two cousins. Now that the remodeling on the house was finished, Tohru’s grandad called her to tell her it was okay for her to come home. Tohru eventually told the guys, who were kind of stunned at the news.

Of course they’re disappointed. Who else is gonna do the shopping, scrub the floors, slave over a hot stove, and wash their dirty underwear? So the next day Shigure, who’s home all day long, hasn’t lifted a finger to cook a damn thing. See, if I would have come home from a hard day at work or school, and I found Shigure sittin’ on his ass lookin’ stupid, I would have to do a Kagura wrestling move on him and break all his limbs.

Well, the guys won’t starve, ’cause they found a pot of Tohru’s beef stew, but…….now get ready for this……. Yuki nor Shigure know how to heat it up. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? But guess who’s got the warm-up-the-pot skills? Shockingly, its Kyo who heats it up.

Next day at school, Tohru runs into Kyo, and he pretty much blows her off. She also runs into Yuki who has enough manners and common courtesy to at least say Hi. When Tohru gets home, she finds out that Witch Aunt had a detective agency reveal the she was shackin’ up with Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure, as if it’s any of her business.

Okay, so now we have Witch Aunt, and the two bad ass kids talkin’ crap about Tohru, until grandad steps in and slaps one of the kids across the face. The only thing is, it wasn’t hard enough, ’cause he called Tohru a tramp right before she left to go back with Yuki and Kyo.

Yep, that’s right, Yuki and Kyo came back to get her, and Tohru was more than happy to leave with them. The guys find out that she never wanted to leave in the first place, so Kyo tells her that it’s okay to speak up and tell people what you want. “Yeah Kyo, and it’s okay for you to shut your face and stop copping an attitude every-time something happens that you don’t like!”

So the three of them walk home holding hands. Awwwwww, how cute. HEY! SOMEONE GET KAGURA ON THE PHONE AND TELL HER TO GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW! I’m sure she’d love to see this!
