@thatKodochagirl Nobody could ever make me hate the flawed character who has a hard time expressing himself. The way people need a perfect character is so concerning because they can’t even handle the journey of change
I had said this once before but fruits basket ending with a vulnerable, platonic confession of two of the most important characters of the show is a genuinely incredible, soulful writing decision. A payoff with such thematic catharsis of the whole series. Perfect final minutes.

I think an important thing to think about with age gap is that they are not all the same. Not all of them focus on “grooming” young people, some of them serve as inspiration or motivation. The boldness of being young and the capability to feel young when you’re not.
