  4. Fruits Basket S2E08: The Calm Before The Storm

    Tune in as we talk about videogames and pedophiles for far too long before actually watching any Fruits Basket! This episode is truly the eye of the hurricane; we had to recover and have a moment of calm after Yuki's confession to learn more about our favorite horse girl Rin!
