Emotional Abuse & Post Traumatic Growth: A Fruits Basket Character Study 

Great analysis, thank you! This is def one of my comfort shows. One of the biggest effects of abuse that stood out to me in FB was the loss of future that the characters feel--they are trapped in a kind of stasis, until they are able to let go of the cycle of abuse

fruits baskets are so amazing when it shows these kinds of topics that anyone can relate to. it helps me when I realized I had trauma from my family and seeing Yuki and machi's story hits me so close to home.

Awesome analysis! Fruits Basket is truly special, I don't think I've ever experienced a story quite like this one

What a wonderful analysis! I was shocked when I saw that your channel is so small and "new" to content creation. Your research, editing and nuanced takes are so good. I hope you'll get more and more recognition because you really deserve it! Looking forward to your future videos.

I ended up loving this show. I came across it one day while I was bored, and wanting something just for noise in the background while I cleaned. No cleaning was done that day, but I've watched the 3 seasons now at least 3 times

Yuri and his mom really got me i never finished it and i mean that like i only watched various scenes of different seasons and the ending scene so idk the full thing about Yuki and his mom but there's something just off more rather than "Oh Yuki's mom is bad" i know it's dark but i never really watched the full anime episode by episode so idk and the anime is so unique the plot is simple and maybe even clitche with Tohru but it was able to show how it could do different things especially with Akito, Yuki, Kyo, Tohru's mom and Tohru's family, abuse, trauma and more

this analysis was wonderful, I can see you put a lot of work into it and it reminded me of how truly special Fruits Basket is and why it means so much to me. I wish this had more views but just hope you know that I thoroughly enjoyed this. And thank you for citing all your sources too! 💗

This was absolutely beautiful! ❤ in your analysis of fruits basket is absolutely amazing I'm very happy of all the hard work you put into this video💝

What a great analysis!

Amazing channel❤ hope you get more success!

Great video! I've also watched the other 3 you've posted so far! Good luck with becoming a great anituber! Regarding stories like Fruits Basket, if you haven't already, watch all of Bakemonogatari (start with the 3 movies and go from there) - you will find one of the most complex fictional characters in that story, and also, the one that becomes the absolute most tragic. Try to look past the fanservice, the pantyshots and other somewhat disturbing stuff and I guarantee you will discover one of the best stories/experiences ever.

Great Video for One of My Favourite Animes so far.

Excellent analysis

Great analysis thank you

so i wached all 3 of your videos, and i think its weird that you only have 667 subscribers ,thees videos are very good.

Great study loved it

Furuba is one of my most favourite anime and it's very special. I've rewatched many times but I still enjoy it so much. The storyline is pretty dark and emotional, the characters portrayed so well. Shigure being one of the most fascinating, grey character. It's him playing chess the entire story . Kyo and Tohru being the best protagonist. Kyo's character has depth and the character development he has is ❤❤

last 2 weeks ago.. ive done watchign this but can't moved on❤❤❤

Fascinating

Great video 👍

Okay but the more i get older the more i relate to ritsu, the man is just a ball of anxiety. Though its kind of sad, he learned this behavior from his mother, who was always apologizing for him because he liked to wear girls clothing. Oh and akito is the worst.

Watching all your vids so you get more exposure.

Damn. Didn't know this manga was hilariously dark.

Great analysis but one nitpick is that the Sohma family curse is based on the Japanese zodiac, not the Chinese zodiac. [The zodiac animals differ in various Asian cultures.]

Kindness and compassion are cringe.
