something that'll always make me happy is the fact that there's never a love rival in fruits basket. there's never a moment where either tohru or kyo ever find they have feelings for someone other than each other, and i love how well the most recent episode dealt with momiji's feelings.
he knows he's in love with tohru. he doesn't bother hiding it from kyo, and he certainly doesn't bother hiding it from akito. but he's also completely aware that she's in love with kyo, and rather than try to steal her away from him, he tells kyo to go for her because he knows he loves her too.
he loves tohru so much that he puts his own feelings aside because he knows he can't compete, and he doesn't want to. but he also loves kyo because he's actively rooting for someone to get the girl they're both in love with, conceding immediately before even giving it a proper chance.
and he knows he doesn't need her to find happiness, and that's so important as well. he's sad and confused and lonely for a variety of reasons, but he doesn't let that hold him back from being hopeful. he doesn't let it consume him. he's growing up, he's falling in love and having his heart broken in a million pieces from things completely out of his control, and he's picking them up and letting them heal naturally instead of falling apart. he's probably the strongest member of the zodiac.
This is a strong contender for my favorite exchange I’ve ever seen on the internet

So I looked this up and the whole story is wild.
Basically, market research for japanese bakeries determined that a) they sell more breads and pastries the more different varieties they have, and b) japanese bakery customers prefer items which are not wrapped, because individually wrapped things give the impression of being like, preserved or something instead of fresh and good I guess? So the obvious solution is to sell as many different kinds of unwrapped breads and pastries as you can.
But! In actual practice, that’s a nightmare. No packaging means no barcodes to scan, so the cashier needs to know all like 200 different (often very similar) items by heart and add them up manually, which means training new employees is a slow and painful process and customer service in general suffers badly. And having a person handle all those un-packaged foodstuffs to count them or examine them, in addition to being slow and clumsy, is unsanitary as fuck.
So one bakery chain owner approached this computer guy in 2007 asking for a system to automate the checkout process. It took five years and the company barely survived a financial crisis in the middle, but long story short they developed a highly specialized AI that will look at the pile of bread a customer picked out and automatically identify everything, tally it up, and charge them correctly, while the live cashier is free to make small talk or help people out or whatever. The whole process is simple, fast, sanitary, and pleasant for customers and employees alike, and to an outsider it looks like fucking magical bullshit.
But then in 2017 a doctor saw an ad for this bakery scanning system and it occurred to him that cells under a microscope don’t look all that different from weird loaves of bread. And it turns out that yeah, you can use almost all of the same code to analyze a tissue sample and pick out any potentially cancerous cells in it. Other people have started buying the same program for everything from analyzing the readout from big physics experiments to labeling charms and amulets for sale at shrines to detecting problems in the wiring on jet engines.
