I believe there's like 3(?) other episodes, not all of which are on YT. One of them is about global warming? But the worst is the one that tries to give the backstory for the werewolf, in that he's actually a regular wolf who falls in love with a girl after she frees him from a trap, so he howls at the moon a bunch and the moon turns him into a wolf-man so he can go meet the girl - but when he does it turns out she wears a crescent moon pendant which turns him back into a wolf and scares her off again. So he goes back to the wolf pack and forgets all about it and is happy again, and meets a female wolf, and then in the last five seconds of the animation it turns out he can't be with the female wolf either because he turns back into a wolfman when he's with her. I'm not sure what the moral there is other than that the moon is an rear end in a top hat and/or that you shouldn't wish for your position to be any different than it actually is and who knows why they'd want to teach that to Japanese kids oh wait

Lots of poetry traditions don't use end rhymes or just use them very occasionally for effect. Modern day Westerners are just so used to them many people think rhyming is what defines something as a poem.

It's weird to me an adult would really care about this. Like sure your gut instinct might be "why would you eat that" but it's not like dogs or cats or whatever are somehow more sacred than cows, pigs, or chickens. Heck I've known people with pet chickens and they can be fun to hold and pet, I've hung out with cows at local fairs and such and seen them with their heads in the lap of the farmer's kid, behaving exactly like a giant dog. You'd think somewhere in the process of wondering why another culture/country would eat this or that animal you'd consider the animals you yourself eat and either go vegetarian or accept meat is meat.

A lot of people have never actually thought through the implications of the things they do, and when something forces the matter they'd rather get defensive/Weird about it(which is safe, if you're already doing what's culturally acceptable) than actually do the thinking(which may involve them turning into Tohru as they spend 20 comics mulling it over having an uncomfortable realization or two).

Food kicks this into overdrive because it's something everyone has to deal with, it has a lot of cultural & emotional baggage attached, and a lot of modern people are pretty disconnected from where their food actually comes from. There's a reason some people take it weirdly personally when someone makes different dietary choices than them, even when it's something mundane like simply not liking beef or chocolate.


Just be thankful he's not eating dad's salami again, NEETmom.

I love how the criminal arc has become the equivalent of one of those kids' write-in shows:

"Tohru, go hire a psychic for my manga."
"Tohru, go join a cult for my manga."
"Tohru, go eat dog meat for my manga."

I'm glad someone else noticed how.. off.. that is. I assumed it was a parody of some actual snack packaging but I have no idea what it might be (other than that it's "Sa-chan's Salami" in the original)

Maybe he was pissed off because the guy who invited him to dinner at the secret-dog-menu-item restaurant was too cheap to shout Oda seconds, after Oda discovered he loved the taste.
