FRUITS BASKET-EPISODE 7-A PLUM ON THE BACK-2 1/2 STARS

Yuki is standing in front of his classmates trying to decide what flavor rice balls to sell at the cultural festival. Now Kyo starts talkin’ about dumb stuff, like having a riceball battle, and of course, nobody is listening. But when Yuki starts rambling off ideas, he gets the classroom’s complete attention, as usual.

Kyo gets all pissed off (his natural state), and all the sudden, a herd of cats hover around him, with smiles on their faces. Gee, I didn’t know cats knew how to smile. Now I guess since Kyo is a cat too, I can understand the attraction, but since he’s got anger issues, who in the hell would want to hang around him?

Well I’m personally not scared, ’cause I know I can drop kick him into oblivion, but if I was a cat, I’d be a little concerned about where I choose to hang out. Now Kyo says that Shigure attracts dogs (cause he is one, remember), and Yuki attracts mice. WHAT?

Now who in the hell would want to hang around Yuki, if all he’s gonna do is attract a bunch of rats? Think about it, you’re sitting down, eating in a restaurant with him, then, out of nowhere, a whole bunch of rats come to join you. EW! No way Jose!

After coping an attitude, Kyo escapes to the school rooftop (wonder how he got up there), and Tohru follows. Once again Kyo starts talking about how he hates Yuki ’cause he’s so cool, and blah, blah, blah. But remember, Yuki does care for Kyo either, in part because he has no problem being himself when he’s around other people. Yeah, a big ass jerk.

Now Kyo has a good reason not to like Yuki, after all Yuki is a pretty classy guy, until he put that dress on! That’s right, you heard it folks, some of the senior girls put their money together to buy Yuki a dress, and asked him to wear it to the festival. Okay, there’s something wrong here, why in the hell would you buy a dress for a guy to wear?

But Yuki wears it anyway, and he can’t stand it, but no one seems to mind, even the guys. Momiji pops up from out of nowhere, and jumps on Yuki’s neck. Hey, it’s anime, anything is possible, remember? One of the first things out of his mouth is that Yuki looks like a girl.

“Momiji, you got a lot of nerve, have you looked in the mirror lately?” I’m telling you, if that kid didn’t hug Tohru, and change into a rabbit, I would have thought he was a girl. Remember, if a member of the zodiac hugs someone of the opposite sex, they transform.

Wait a minute, who’s this good looking guy that came with Momiji? It’s Hatori (like I know who that is). He’s a doctor, and a member of the Sohma family which means he’s a member of the zodiac. Which animal is he, well, you’ll find out in the next episode.

Hatori came to check up on Yuki, who used to be an asthma sufferer, but he also wants to have a private conversation with Tohru at the Sohma estate. Uh oh, what does he want to see her for? Is he gonna ask her out on a date? Is he gonna try to cut her head off? Is he gonna have a surprise birthday party for her?

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the next episode!
