Fruits Basket

An incredibly wholesome Anime about life, loss, and being kind. A worthwhile show.

**Edit:** The third season started slow but wow was it incredible. It really made for a phenomenal story and a beautifully orchestrated closure.

One of the best third seasons of ANY show I’ve watched ever.

The writers and producers are to be commended for such a satisfying end to such a beautiful show.

Many don’t understand why this show gets the hype it does, but honestly, you have no heart if you can watch even Season 1 without feeling ‘something’!

It was a pleasure to see Kyo find his feet, and Toru find her world.

Also, I loved so many of the artful moments, quiet and unassuming, but conveying sooooo much story in just a few frames.

Truly... this is a show worth watching and rewatching, and is destined to become a classic for the ages.

This is really exceptional story telling. You laugh, you cry, you pine... it’s a beautiful tale.

If you’re just starting this, the first few episodes may seem like run-of-the-mill stuff, but as the mystery deepens, so do the yarns binding the tale together beautifully.

Really 10/10

It was one of the best shows of this year. Animation was impressive and each episode has its own charm and a warm feeling attached to it. Those not too hard laughable scenes adds an extra charm to those warm feelings. In some places it felt like a laid-back show while in some it was dramatic, which kept the show in balance.
Every character has their own uniqueness and a dark side by being a part of Souma family, not much was cleared about the clan in the first season though. I am looking forward to the next season.
I'll definitely recommend everyone to watch this show.

**Edit:** Second season was mostly about Side-Character Development so compared to first season it was less impactful.

**Edit 2:** Third season was the best of all. They finally gave a closure to all the aspects. But honestly I'd love to see more from this show. Now I'll be waiting for _The Story of Kyoko and Katsuya_.

thanks i love sobbing constantly

Wow! This is such a great anime! I‘ll give it a 9/10 even though my favorite ship didn‘t come together because it was so great!!!

Everyone had their personal Happy End ([spoiler]maybe besides Kagura[/spoiler]) and I don’t know what else to say :D ❤

I watched the original Fruits Basket anime and read the entire manga over a decade ago and remembered 50% of what happened in the story but damn, while watching this reboot, the storyline _still_ punched me in the gut and gave me the same emotions (suspense, heartbreak, hope, etc.) I had during my first watch 😭 Especially because they were able to animate the entire story from the manga (iirc, the og anime only went up to the end of season 1). Seriously such a great series with interesting and likable characters who all have so much growth and development. My only issue is that I would have liked more [spoiler] Kyo/Tohru episodes and storylines (especially throughout the second and third seasons) but I think that's just me being a hardcore (god I haven't used this word in a while :nauseated_face:) shipper. The other issue I have is that literally **everyone** in the series is straight (also a handful of relationships with questionable age gaps...) but I guess that's the trade-off to being faithful to the source material 🙄 [/spoiler] Anyways, I think this anime is a must-watch!

Season 1 was kinda meh for me but oh boy the season 2 was good! Its been while since the last time I felt the way I did during season 2.

Fruits Basket is one of the most widely recommended animes for a reason. While not my favorite, there are some fantastic characters, secrets, and best of all, it's a completed story with a solid ending. Side characters and overarching plots (Shigure, Akito, and friends) were a clear highlight for me, while the love triangle aspects seemed frivolous and unnecessary. Oh, and Haru is the best character in the show.
