Who was your favorite character in Fruits Basket if you've seen it? If not then what's a favorite drama or shojo of yours?
My favourite is Kyo. He’s been through so much and deserves to be loved!
That…and I simp for him.
I feel like Kyo is the simp lord of this show.....but then we got tons of other simpable characters to xD
Tohru Honda is my favorite and I don't consider her as a bland character. She felt real to me growing up and is a character I relate with the most. I know how it is to be the most empathetic person in my circle of friends and family. Sometimes I feel I care for others more than I care for myself. Just like me, Tohru had her own childhood trauma behind her behaviors and perspective in life. And like most people, Tohru likes to feel she belongs whether it's with her mother, her friends, or the Sohma family. Although I saw the people in my circle everyday it took years for me to realize how important I was in their lives. So before I felt my own sense of belonging into adulthood, my connection with Tohru convinced my adolescent self that I may not be so different and alone after all.
I loveee kyo. He is my fav character. I simp for him sooooo hard 😍
@@btsarmyredeta482 We all do.
I love Tohru Honda so much. I know some people out there think she's a pretty bland protagonist, ok that's their opinion I guess. But honestly she was a role model for me as a kid and shaped who I wanted to be as a person. ♥️🍙
I honestly can imagine girls growing up felt like Tohru was who they hope to be for sure. She is such a inspirational figure for sure and I feel like you legit just quoted Emerichu but the two of you are completely not alone I'm sure. I think the folks that think she's bland is more since it takes a long while to see her have as much damage as others, almost as if she's already done her healing while everyone else around her has not yet.
Same here. Such a great role model *_*. So wholesole and wise.
Yeeesssss all the love to our beautiful kind hearted riceball!❤️
@@westsideotaku1555 i have to disagree with you there. from the beginning we see that she is hurting, that she is forcing these dark feelings down because she feels she's not privileged enough to feel them. she doesn't want to so she pushes them away and smiles so no one else sees them. and it's through helping her friends and the sohmas that she is able to start looking at those feelings, thinking those thoughts, even though she isn't ready to fully process them.
she is only able to fully process after kyo is fully able to listen, after she fully trusts him to understand what she means.
im rambling now, but my point is that tohru is only boring if you take her smiles at face value instead of trying to get in her headspace and understand her.
Fruits Basket literally transformed me from an internal to external person.
I often never thought about how other people's lives could be drastically different form me when I was in middle school.
Like obv ophrans and extremely poor people were different from me. But it made me see even a small kindness can mean so much to people you might view as mean or cold or angry. It doesn't cost anyone anything to just be kind, and some people are not in a place to be that way so if you can you should.
Well for whatever it is worth... Fruits Basket has left an everlasting impression on me. From its inception in 2001 to its reboot in 2019; it remains nostalgic to me. And after 20 years you finally found a way to break the Soma curse. Well Done FUNImation, Studio DEEN, and TMS Entertainment. Your show gave us inspiration in times when they were rough-- STILL ROUGH. It gave us joy in our times of sorrow even amidst a global pandemic still claiming lives. And the whole romance genre of the series put me at peace in times of uncertainty. I have NO regrets of ever watching the show... Thank You...
You couldn`t have said it better. The influence of Fruits Basket will never fade away in my life.
Some people might have thought that Tohru Honda was just a bland and such a doormat BUT OH MY GOSH SHE IS WAY MORE AND SUCH A ROLEMODEL…
Bro the way you reviewed the series was heart touching because of the way you expressed your words
Thank you so much
@@westsideotaku1555 You are really appreciatable
Absolutely amazing and beautiful review. I came here because I've been told this anime is good, and I wanted to see a review before I started watching it. The way you described the anime throughout the video, and the way you told your conclusion with so much emotion actually made me cry. You've sold me. Bravo. 👏❤
Thank you so much :') I really put my heart into this one and am so honored many got to watch it.
The way you passionately talk about Fruits Basket makes me cry dude
Feel it. It's a part of being human
I love this show so much. It is right up there next to attack on Titan as one of my favorite animes of all time. The way it can relate to life is truly beautiful. I’ve re-watched the series several times since it ended. I’ve gotten a lot of my family members to watch it as well.
Same
Fruits Basket is truly a masterpice. I completely understand the connection u feel with the anime.
(Also AOT is awesome, can't wait for the finale)
@Westside Otaku
You made me cry! I have watched this series, then again rewatched so many times. The last episode brings tears to everyone's eyes not because of sadness, but because of nostalgia and the fact that we will not get any more episodes. I mean, Fruba is a legend! As you said, there are so many anime that have made me cry like Anohana, Plastic Memories, Clannad, Violet Evergarden, YLIA, etc but Fruba was the mixed up version of all of these. I would say that no other anime can evoke so many emotions like Fruba.
Oh yes....Fruits Basket is chalk full of a wide spectrum of feels. Never made me cry as hard as those shows listed did, but I felt a lot more consistently with this one.
@@westsideotaku1555 YUP :)
Beautifully made and narrated video about an incredible show! Thank you🎉
Wow, thank you!
When I was collecting DVD's from Funimation they gave a demo DVD either with my Yu Yu Hakusho or DBZ order of Fruits Basket and it was all over for me. I loved it from the first episode and kept collectioning it when it officially got released. My mother died back in 2009 and when Momiji gave that speech to Tohru during the first year of the anniversary of her mother's death and it got me good. I then went on to collect the manga when I found out manga existed and Fruits Basket became my first manga collection I completed. I own the original series, origianal English mnaga volumes from Tokoyo Pop, The collector editions from Yen, the current seasons as they came out, etc..
It's a digital mini arc called the Three Musketeers featuring Hatori, Shigure, and Ayame. Then a Sequel called Fruits Basket Another that is 3 volumes , but the original cast are only mentioned and not shown nonetheless I still enjoyed it.
As a long time fan, how'd you feel about this newer adaptation Candice?
@@westsideotaku1555 I loved it. It was amazing to see things that I wish were animated finally being animated. I do wish season 3 could’ve got around the same number of episodes like season 1 and 2 but season 3 was still able to keep the parts that matter most.
Akito's bg music theme goes SO FUCKING HARD
It does tho
Ohh man ... You really made me cry ... I am really happy to know that there are some ppl who treats fruits basket more than an anime like me
I'm glad the vid touched you that much Shawn. It was a tough one to put together and yeah...Fruits Basket just did too much for it not to leave a impact on my in the long term.
god hearing you tear up about how you dont leave these characters really got to me. i never did either since i read and experienced it when i was younger. i used to be embarrassed this was my first proper anime bc it does seem silly to put so much emotional connection and heart into it but it really did shape me into the person i am. experiencing everything again with the new anime just showed its filled with people with flaws trying desperately to live and its fucking really hard to do it even without a curse. because at the core its real struggles of people having to deal with cruelty, pain, and grief and trying to understand why. everyone proved they were capable of change even at their cruelest lowest scariest points and just you can live, you can do it. its so scary but yeah. thank you so much for this video i love people discovering this show and realizing how lovable this characters are.
:') Thank you so much for the comment Tardis. It moved me
ALSO THE BIT ABOUT YUKI IM- YUKI STANS UNITE
The Yuki Fan Club in this show exists for more reasons than fictional XD
@@westsideotaku1555 plsssss
5 episodes in. Never have seen any of it. This is gonna be great.
Hope you enjoy it
most of akito´s personality is due to being possesed by the god spirit. if this was the wizard of oz akito would be the evil witch while tohru would be glenda the good witch. 2 sides of the same coin.
Its a show that is warm and makes me want to better myself
I had stopped crying for this show.. but damn dude. 🥺
You're welcome ;)
I liked the show but I found some of its lessons very dangerous.
I wish Tohru would have matured, developed some kind of emotional barriers. Everyone says that if she continues taking everything upon herself like that she will get hurt. That she's allowed this and this.
But she doesn't change, she keeps being abused (sorry, but being constantly shouted at by Kyô IS verbal abuse) and thinks she deserves it and keeps on constantly apologizing. The simple fact that she really takes care of everything in the house on top of being the emotional support for everyone irks me, because it's very dangerous to be that selfless, and so many people IRL get trapped in abusive relationships because of how they think they deserve it in some ways, because they haven't tried hard enough; the "dumbest traveller" tale really just is your next-door beaten wife. In a way the show reminded me of The Idiot by Dostoyevsky and it doesn't end well.
I wish for instance, that instead of following Kyô in his life, again being submissive, sacrificing her friendships and her own future as an individual, he would have been the one following HER dreams; I understand that it's not ideal considering his own freedom was also a big topic in the show, but it would have been a nice twist to the whole "protect and support Tohru" thing. To allow her to develop her own agency and desires, and show that it's also ok for her to expect things from others. More meaningful acts and less peep talks.
I also didn't like that safe-blame was often confused with taking responsibility or courage.
Especially in the case of the tiger, Haru says reading the teacher's letter who is basically victim-blaming the kid "What a load of crap" and I was like "ah finally someone saying it", but then Yuki kind of goes against this by saying to Kisa that she needs to be brave and basically toughen up. Sure, you're the only one who can get past your trauma at some point but before that happens, you first need to get out of the toxic situation. Enduring it is NOT overcoming trauma.
Not to mention that after that, we see that Kisa also never gets out of her self-blaming patterns.
(Haru best boi)
I agree with many of your points but Fruits Basket IS a shoujo. Shoujo manga isn't "bland" or "Flowery" or whatever, it can have drama and heavy topics. Shoujo is just the demographic, in this case, the demographic is teenage/younger girls (anyone can watch it though). Many people downplay Shoujo because of toxic masculinity or because of lack of action like shounen but shoujo is actually a great demographic full of amazing stories like Fruits Basket.
Agreed. My experience of shojo's has a romance at the center of the story that's pretty clear and for front, and I didn't feel like that was the case for this story at all which is one of the things I respect about it.
@@westsideotaku1555 I mean, romance being the clear center of the story isn't unrespectable.
Tohru is definitely my fav female protagonist.
Fav shoujou - your lie in April and Fruba .
I know I can’t exactly be like tohru, but I will strive to be like her 🤧
This anime is just great. No more words needed!
What's the name of that song in the end tho?
Here ya go: ruclips.net/video/6CNXPCpifWg/видео.html
is this the 2019 version?
Yes
fruits basket is so cathartic... i need to rewatch :')
So I know this video came out a little while ago, so I prob won’t get an answer, but can anyone link the songs that were used in this video? I love all of the songs used and would love to make my own playlist! Thanks in advance 👾
They should be in the description, but honestly I just jam to playlists already made when I search Fruits Basket OST on youtube.
What’s the name of the Song at the end of the Video?
ruclips.net/video/NNmHlWaKmz4/видео.html
You should feel bad
This show was not about picking fruits in a basket at all. 0/10
Ikr I was so upset….
I have never seen trauma done better. This show makes you FEEL. I remember when I saw it getting a remake I damn near screamed, as a 30 year old man. This show about an eternally empathetic girl who meets some strange boys has captured my heart.
Fruit Baskets for me is a work of art, Just watching the entire series was nothing but inspiration for me. Before watching this anime I had a one side view on life but after watching fruit baskets I have a different perspective about the meaning of life. Just watching tohru be that bright light shows how that one person in your life whether friend or family, can have an influence on you. It shows that everyone here in this world have an important role to play. It wasn't just the characters growing up, we grew up alongside them too.
Thank you so much for sharing ablue...that's beautiful. I am literally doing a terrifying exercise (for me) today to make myself better in part thanks to me working on this vid talking about these characters doing the same, especially Prince Yuki. It's honestly the closest thing to a self help anime to me.
Bro ima be ready with u this was corny asf
if everyone had a Tooru in their lifes, my goodness, the world would be filled with so much love and care. Felt so much love from this show.
we fruits basket fans should try and be more like tohru so we can influence people for the better 🍙😊
@@alisjamorina3884 Im more like Akito's mother...
Fruits Basket is definitely an anime I will force my future child to watch in hopes of them learning from it
YESSSSSSS PLZ!!!!
THIS
I just watched this with my 4 year old and they didn’t really find it interesting yet however the opening and the outros they perk up and sing along:) it’s definitely going to be a series that I will watch at the very minimum of once a year!
I watched the 2001 version back when I found it (via my other brother sharing it with me) in 2005, I fell in love with the whole fruits basket world and had wished I could be teleported into! So when I found that they had made a full series of it, I am filled with joy!
As mentioned In this video that it’s like a piece of life, I wish that it was a bigger piece:’)
This video couldn’t have illustrated this complex narrative better. “Fruits Basket” is a tale. A tale that entails the sheer intricacies that reside within an individual's sentiment and choices that inquire, “What can I do to grow? Move forward?” It conveys the stories of characters that sought light, which was later embodied by one of the most precious protagonists through my perspective, Tohru. FRUITS BASKET allows its audience to comprehend strains and the gradual progression of not forgetting, but acknowledging what has occurred. It is a work of art that baffles rationale and portrays the lovely essence of inexplicable love.
Thanks Bella ^_^
Lately, when I’ve found myself in a difficult situation, or dealing with difficult people, I have tried to be like Tohru and to reach out and understand. And when life gets me down, I try to be like Momiji, and remember that I deserve happiness and I can find it
We are all worthy of our purpose and vision for our life
We should all strive to be like Tohru. Even with all of her flaws, she’s a better person than I’ve ever met
Wow, your final line got me to sob.
Fruits Basket is honestly not my fav shoujo, but is one I remember the most. It also may have influenced me more than I realized after finally watching its completion 13 years later.
Tohru's rice ball and plum metaphor depicts how we don't realize who we really are until we connect with other people and its message is perfectly intertwined throughout the series. Some people like Akito want to say you're rotten inside and deserve to stay that way while others like Tohru just see you and accept you for who you are deep down. Tohru tries to get to know you and all aspects of you.
The characterization is what I loved most about this series. We got to know and connect with all the characters' faults and traumas, even Akito's.
This anime has an art and music composition more expressive than the manga. It heightens the emotion the manga couldn't portray enough.
While the anime couldn't show every funny and wholesome moment of the original story, it did knock it out of the park in conveying the principal moments, characterization, and themes that inspired many of its readers.
I'm so happy that this story got to shine again with a new audience and new generation. I hope it will continue to connect with people and help them move forward from their own traumas in life.
Beautiful thoughts Stephy. In terms of the anime production, they really did flush out the emotions/moods of scenes so well which was so important for a show that's really all about FEELINGS! I'm glad that last line hit you cuz I was worried it'd be too cheesy for some or they wouldn't get it (which is still probs gonna happen haha). Gonna miss this show dearly.
What's your favourite shoujo then?
Yona of the dawn manga obliterates fruits basket manga by a slight margin. However, if the remaining chapters of yotd get animated for a season 2 or above, I won’t be surprised if it surpasses the fruits basket reboot.
Don’t get me wrong, fruits basket is my favourite anime of all time.
@@ic3747 above
@@nenbladeworks2985 Oh ok I haven't watched or read yona of the ddawn so I can't say anything
I have been OBSESSED with Fruits Basket since I was a kid, and I never really understood why until the remake came out. I grew up in a family full of emotional abuse, trauma, and mental health disorders. This series was like watching a weird comedic version of my life, and it subconsciously gave me hope that I can move forward past these things and change for the better. I still have a long way to go when it comes to coping and becoming my own person, but as Yuki said, “It's not that I've suddenly become stronger or that something has changed. I'm still shaking. But... We don't have to let those fears stop us. What's most important is that we try to rise above our weakness.”
To whomever may read this, may you rise above and push forward. Change is on its way, all you need to do is embrace it. I believe in you :)
“You're trying to find it. You're probably trying to find- the reason that you live- all by yourself. Because...because, in reality, there aren't any people who are born with reasons to live. I think that...that everyone has to find their reason to live. A reason to live. A reason to say that it's okay to be here. A reason for being. Everyone must find out and then decide. Maybe in a dream, or in a job, or in a person. "The reason" you find might be unclear, uncertain, and unstable. Even though you may lose it, I want to have a reason for as long as I live. I also want one. And then, if it's possible, I want to find it in somebody's heart. I want to be able to live for someone. I hope that someday, someone would tell me, 'You can think of it that way.' At times I want to give up, but I try my best. That's why...that's why it's okay, for sure, to be shameless. Because if you lead a bold life, someday you might meet someone with whom you'll want to eat takoyaki together.”
this perfectly summons why fruits basket is so important to me wow
Thank you very much Rebecca
@@westsideotaku1555 and you totally nailed it!!
My older sister used to read the manga and watch the original anime. She loved the series, but hasn't seen the newer one yet. Now, I want to watch it and this video convinced me even more. I watched a couple of episodes of the original, but didn't continue. I wasn't very much into anime at that point, but now I love the anime I've seen and want to see Fruits Basket.
Well I'm glad this video did it's part in enticing you a bit more. Take my word that it's gonna feel a bit slow for awhile until you start to realize the point of the show being the internal battles going on.
I first discovered Fruits Basket eight years ago right as my grandfather died and my family moved to a new place. Now I’m a young adult who is going to finish school this year and has to figure out what I’ll do with my life afterwards.
Fruits Basket is such a raw, beautiful story that handles such hard topics so well. I love it for many reasons, but the most important one is this. It shows that sometimes, all you need to help people out of a bad situation, is just show them that you care about them. That you accept them for who they are, and that you’re there for them.
If I ever meet someone who has or is going through something like the Somas had to go through, I hope that I can help them like Tohru did. I think the world would be a much better place if we had more Tohrus in it.
Thank you Fruits Basket. Thank you to the original mangaka. Thank you to the team that made the anime. Thank you.
You actually got me to slightly tear up with this one....Thanks Koko
"I think the world would be a much better place if we had more tohrus in it" truth has been spoken.
@@cepahreinholt8710 I agree with this wholeheartedly.
I discovered Fruits Basket during probably the darkest time in my life...I have severe PTSD and at the time I was dealing with a LOT of trauma and confronting those memories was so hard I didn't think I could make it through and was thinking some REALLY dark thoughts...you can probably guess what kind of thoughts...but watching these characters go through such similar emotions and learn to move forward in their lives gave me the hope I so desperately needed at the time...I may still be a hot mess even now but I still say to myself, "If the Sohmas and Tohru could do it, then so can I!" Fruits Basket saved my life and I will forever love this series and these characters.
I'm not crying.....but I mine as well be. Beautiful share.
I've said this before, but I don't think there will ever be an anime quite like Fruits Basket. I've watched other anime that are labeled as shoujo, and while they have been very enjoyable and fun, most of them haven't stuck with me emotionally like Fruits Basket has. Some have come close, like Kamisama Kiss, but even those few shoujos can't hold a candle to Fruits Basket. I dare say Fruits Basket has even outdone a lot of shonen anime I've seen.
But that's just my opinion.
Totes can understand that Shadow
Can’t believe I’m here again after completing it. I always used to believe that books and shows can’t teach you anything good other than entertain you for a little while . I was so wrong . Fruits basket literally changed by life . I want to be like Tohru , I want be optimistic no matter how much hardships I face at the end everything will workout and I should be grateful for even the smallest things . Life’s to short to be sad about the things we can’t have , let’s just appreciate what we have got and be grateful always . Strive to become a better person. Fruits basket will always stay close to my heart .
Alright...I just got into Anime and I've seen a few...FMA Brotherhood...Attack On Titan...Demon Slayer....Steins Gate....Persona 4 Animation...but I don't know what it is with this anime called Fruits Basket....but damn I can't stop watching it...and for some reason I keep coming back and it's hella hard to not. I understand and agree with your sentiments in this video. I'm not done yet but I am on the 2nd season. Lol Torhu.....must protect! 🤣
Tohru is to be protected at all costs....
For me Furuba was a turning point of my life. I've read it when it was being published (so many years ago) and I was a teenager.
You dont know how many phrases of this masterpiece helped me along the way. When I felt sad, when I was unsure.... I just needed to re-read the manga to feel myself better (Shigure's analogy about washing the clothes you have near first as a way to confront your life problems... 100% gold)
About favourite characters... among the 3 I would say Tohru. I love Kyo and Yuki (to the point that a part of my nickname comes from them Kyu-> KYo+YUki) but there's not other character in all the manga/anime I know like her. We all need someone like Tohru in our lives.
Among the zodiac Momiji hands down. He's the most mature, with one of the cruelest past, and he keeps going on. You talk about Yuki, but Momiji never lost his smile. He was rejected, abandoned, left alone (x2), and he kept smiling. The way he deals with Akito (before and after THAT moment), his feelings for Tohru, towards Kyo (in the manga it's even better because the focus more on how all despise the cat, and even then Momiji wants Kyo to no give up) is inspiring.
Momiji is so dang mature and it's crazy what he was willing to do for his family and keep on going as he does.
God. The way you put it all made it hit so hard. I've loved Fruits Basket since I was in middle school 13-14 years ago. When I was introduced to it by my friends. I'll never truly leave these characters behind. Not when they are such an important part of the person I've become today. Of the person I still aspire to be. There's never been another series, in any type of media, where I've come out the other side feeling like I was a better person for experiencing it. And, so long as I was willing to try, that there was so much more room for me to grow.
I'm so happy that so many new people have been able to do the same with this remake.
I'm gonna try and revisit it ever year or two cuz of it's importance.
there is no way that a human can not cry to this anime
the only way that you won't cry is if you mute the volume or if you are emotionless
Thats the thing! Shojo is so underrated!! Most people thing is just for woman with romance and blah blah blah but there are such great gems that u dont get in other anime genres. Furuba is seriously S tier!! Its about all kinds of relationship and touches reality. Many characters that many people.can relate too. A beautiful drama people must watch!☆☆♡♡
A beautiful drama indeed! Thanks for sharing your thoughts Yugiboy
This anime has had a special place in my heart for so long. Fruits Basket is the best Shoujo out there. (Don't hate me but I feel like this anime is perfect)
Actually, Yuki is my favourite character of all time. I just relate to him in so many ways growing up and he had some of the best lines that I remember by. Sadly, the anime did cut some of the lines that really resonated with me, but hopefully they could have some kind of Yuki OVA, just like how they're having Kyoko and Katsuya's story next year (which is actually my second favourite part in Fruits Basket just after Yuki's backstory)
Sign me up for a Yuki OVA
@toshio For me, always. Tho because I bought the books when I was younger, the translations were much better and hit harder than the fan online translation in my opinion
@toshio late reply lol but manga is better for me. The final season was rushed so I recommend the manga a lot.
Bro this analysis got me to like comment and sub lol! This video is soooo good. One of your last lines about not wanting to go because you miss these characters too much is the exact reason why I scrolled RUclips for someone to talk and explain this anime and characters the way you did so I can feel like I'm part of it for a little while longer. It's ironic, because the last main theme of the show is that all the people you love might move on, and it's important to accept that and just cherish it for what it is. You deserve way more credit for this video and I just wanna let you know I appreciate it so much. Thank you.
You just sent chills in my baywest. Thank you so much :') So glad you enjoyed the vid cuz it had a lot more put into than most of my other content.
Such well written non-spoiler review of Fruits basket! You said pretty much everything I felt about the anime that I was unable to put them into words. Thank you for creating such an amazing video
:') you're very welcome. So happy folks enjoyed this
The plot? Here it is: Tohru Honda discovers a mysterious family and tries her hardest to uncover their secrets in order to help them break free of what troubles them.
Pretty much
@@westsideotaku1555 nice to know you're still replying after 2 years
Fruit basket is really good I love it it's my fav anime I wish I find someoe like a Tohru cause I wanna change like Yuki Kyo n Akito lol I'm saur selfish
loved this video, but one little thing! Fruits Basket IS a shoujo, and that's not a bad thing. Shoujo is just a demographic, that demographic being teen girls. and whether you mean it this way or not, when you say "Fruits Basket isn't a shoujo" that's basically saying that it being a shoujo is a bad thing, that shoujo isn't just as worthy of a demographic as, say, shounen, or seinen. i'm sure you didn't mean it that way at all, but yes Fruits Basket is a shoujo, even if you had a shounen that got really deep, i'm sure you wouldn't say it wasn't a shounen lol
You are correct. The phrasing I was getting at here is "I don't feel like it's a typical so called 'shoujo' ". I said the same thing about My Hero Academia for it's first 2 season where it didn't feel like a Shonen to me. Sometimes I come across things that I will absolutely in strictly a technical sense call them what they are, but just express how it feels like something else entirely "to me".
Glad you loved the vid Francesca ^_^ Seriously had lots of trouble expressing how I feel about this show and still do.
@@westsideotaku1555 ah ok thank you for letting me know! i think i'm just a bit defensive because a lot of people see shoujo as a "lesser" genre, so when they enjoy one they'll say "well it's not REALLY a shoujo" lol. i see that's not what you were doing haha
I can’t express how much I love this show. From watching the original show as a child, to watching the compilation of the story as a young adult. I honestly can’t put it into words how much this show as done for me.
All I can say is thank you. Thank you for raising me to the young man I am today. Thank you Fruits Basket.
OMG PLS MORE YUKI APPRECIATION!!!! I would have to say one of the most overlooked characters in the whole series especially when it comes to the fandom.
Thanks for putting into words what I felt about this anime. It's truly a master piece.
Aw I'm so glad I accomplished that for you Dushime. THanks for the words
The plot is improving and evolving the characters... And that is the beauty of this show
To live with change, even if they are goodbyes.
This is the best review I've ever seen of my favourite anime , I'm glad I saw someone feel something same as I did. 🙏🏼 Fruits basket is lub
Wow, thank you! That means a lot
The only thing I disagree with is that Fruits Basket is very much a shoujo and part of its greatness is also tied to that. Despite shoujo's usual bad rep of being the same old cliche romance retold a billion times, I feel like most people miss what makes the genre (if one could call a demographic a "genre") special: the way emotions, conflict and relationships are written. Another shoujo that always makes me feel strong emotions is Nana and I can't help but think that shoujo has this very special way of toying with my feelings lmaoo
Even in the show everyone says at least once how Thoru is nothing really special, but she is somewehre around Jesus' second coming domminating with kindness. I felt Akito's character was a bit inconsistent, and the real antagonistic force was the curse/legacy, which was mirrored with social segregation on Thoru's backstory side.
I agree the strength of the show was the therapeutic nature akin with Mob Psycho 100, where inatead of the anguish and struggle of the characters the focus is on the grown up resolution.
I can't understand how people like this anime, I went on 17 episodes and I couldn't take it anymore. And I love Sakura card captor and Clannad
I gotta be honest Yuki e wasn’t really my favorite because I didn’t really care for his prosona I thought he was a good character, but I really started to like him a lot for his decisions. He still not my favorite character of all but one of my favorites
But honestly I needed more Kyo moments than Yuki. Tohru ended up with Kyo so its clear that he was the male lead. But Yuki had more screen time
I love that the new adaptation took out some of the less believable gags from the original, things that weren't in the Manga. They stayed truer to the source and gave the story the love it deserved and I swear I'm not crying, YOU'RE CRYING.
Honestly this was just a beautiful review This show inspired me to be a better person
Thanks Chat. Probably the most heartfelt review I've done
I loved the manga and when I sold off most of my Manga collection I kept my Fruits Basked collection (I had no space to keep them anymore), and this remake made me fall harder in love with fruits basket even more because like everyone I fell on hard times with no reason in life just sadness and no will to live, that why I fell in love with this remakes. the reason to overcome and to be able to live life again hits harder when yourself went through it. that has put this remake in my top 3 favorite animes.
The part starting at 5:39 hit hard. I would have liked it several times if I could.
That part in particular got me emotional when putting it together man...glad it hit
Okay; Fruits Basket is one of the best, if not THE best shows I’ve ever watched, including western shows. It is so insightful and amazing it does such an amazing job contrasting sad, happy, sweet, and funny, the characters are all so well done, and the way everything is so well linked together *chefs kiss*
I could write paragraphs on this show honestly 😂
Well look up because there a manga about their children and there is a new movie that just came out last month about tohur mom and dad
Fruba is nothing but nostalgia. Everything so charming..... it can never be explained in words
Fruits Basket is one of my favourite but the most realistic anime to me is undoubtedly Hibike! Euphonium
I went in to it last yr thinking cute,funny, wholesome anime where ppl TURN IN TO ANIMALS YES YES YES...then the darker issues were hinted at while watching and i got really curious. AND WHEN THE DARK STUFF HIT AND THE BEUTIFUL MESSAGES WERE MADE I WAS SO SHOCKED. SO FREAKING SHOCKED. IT'S LITERALLY THE PERFECT ANIME TO RECOMMEND TO SOMEONE LIKE ME. THE THEMES INTRODUCED WERE EXACTLY EXACTLY WHAT I LOVED IN OTHER SHOWS BUT PUT IN ONE SERIES. I was so scared it was gonna be cringey but it WAS REALISTIC. IT WAS ACTUALLY SO HUMAN. The trauma was realistic,believable...that's so rare.
And as someone with childhood trauma it makes complete sense that my favourite character is yuki.u have no idea how hard my mental state was triggered when Yuki's story was finally fully told, i was sobbing the hardest I had in so long and that's cuz he is such good representation.the psychological torture was done so well.their personalities actually made sense.
U worded things so beautifully...I miss the characters so much.i wish I had found show while going through high school
:') Thank you so much for this. Touched me heart
Believe it or not.. Shigure is the best character throughout the whole series
Bro, Amazing Overview. I feel the same way about this show. I am going to share your video on hopes that my friends will watch this too. :)
Thanks Peter! I really appreciate it
It's such a beautiful and life changing anime! It teaches you to appreciate every moment you have with loved one, for it can be your last, and wish them well so they may be safe. I was first introduced to this series with the original as a child by a friend. Now as an adult I've finally seen the remake, or glow up and animated version of the manga. I have to say I see this in a completely different way. For 4 years I worked for a man who was so psychologically messed up, all I can say is I think he is a narcissist, and I think this shows how you can heal from narcissist abuse and trauma. ❤ It's so beautiful, and pretty God sent, past the horoscope stuff.. 😊
Exactly. Emotions and Inner Selves are complicated and rely on us making the hardest of choices to breakthrough and grow.
One of the best review's I have ever heard and watched and that truly makes justice to what fruits basket is.
You are right, I also didn't want to go and wanted to see in comfort how they lived their lives they way they deserved to, but all I can do is leave with hope I will be able to do the same.
We'll take the steps to make it happen, as uncomfortable as it may seem. If these characters can, why not us?
Fruits basket is timeless, its deceptively deep for sure.
I started reading this series back when it first started (I was a college student living in Japan). Then I was lucky enough to be able to watch the first anime as it came out. It was so sad they never continued it, and was surprised when they announced a reboot 2 years ago. I'm so glad that it introduced new fans to this wonderful series, which was deeper than the first few episodes suggested.
It's so cool for those long time fans like yourself to be able to see a full adaptation of the story after so long...that is honestly wonderful.
yall i watch this during New year for about 12 hours
Easily my favourite anime of all time!!
I really love how respectfull all the characters are. :)
My friend has been telling me to watch fruits basket since 2005. It wasnt until today in 2022 that i did. Bcz i thought it was a reverse harem and as a kid who only enjoyed shonen anime thought this was gunna be some lame anime.
Dude. Regrets. I wish i watched this sooner.
Same
honestly my friends ask me why I'm obsessed with fruits basket, and I just send them this video and a few days or weeks later, they start watching the show and tell me they love it XD.
Heck yeah!
“Fruit basket doesn’t have a plot” but it’s the beauty of the twist in this plot that doesn’t exits that made it one of my favorite shows of all time
Fruits basket was the first manga I've ever read and I was super young when I read it. There was parts I didn't understand fully but I felt. The scene where kyo's dad holds him up in the air and says "From now on, you'll have to breathe the air of higher places." I grew up with a single parent household and reading that made something click in my brain. A deep feeling of understanding of my mom and why she worked so hard for my brother and I. This manga has shaped me as a person and my understanding of love. It taught me that love is complex but beautiful. It comes in all shapes and sizes. All colors and ways. It taught me that change is ok. Change is natural and scary. But good. Even when you have bad change. Even if you lose something or someone you love, even when it feels like there is no hope and that nothing will get better. Even in our darkest moments its ok. You'll be ok. It taught me that everything ends eventually. And that's such a scary thought but that's what makes it beautiful. If everything was forever then we wouldn't understand how beautiful and precious life is. We wouldn't understand the space and magnitude that the people we love hold in our hearts and mind. I have a space on my shelf of this story, the whole collection, and it'll remain there until it gets passed on. I hope everyone gets a chance to read this manga and learn the lesson of life and love and changing that it holds.
It's interesting to hear a review of Fruits Basket and all, but this video itself is very beautifully done. It almost feels like an anime scene itself and is actually more interesting than a plain review. Based off of this alone, I will probably watch the show, just because this painted a very vivid picture and made me interested. Great video.
Thank you so much...that means a lot :') I'd like to approach reviews like this in the future where there is a core theme to go over rather than simply talking about what's good and bad about the thing. Makes more of a impact.
Fruits Basket was the first anime I've seen back in like 2010, haven't really watched outside 2 or 3 episodes, wasn't really into anime back then but now I'm interested in giving it a chance
When I was growing up, I was the “rice ball” too. I was the girl who was left out because people thought I was weird. As I grew older, it manifested into me constantly trying to be nice to anyone and everyone to hopefully make people happy. My friend group has told me so many times before, “you’re so sweet and nice” or sometimes “you’re too nice!” (when I let this girl run off with my phone because i didn’t want to be mean and confront her.) I’m happy that I can make others happy, but the part about always feeling selfish is true. You never feel like you can go back. The kindness feels fake even if it isn’t anymore. I relate to Tohru so much that as I was watching the anime, I was learning all these important things along with her. What hit me the hardest is when Kyo said “It’s okay to be selfish sometimes.” Tohru and me were quite literally the same person. I’m rewatching the anime right now and I really recommend doing this. There are a lot of things I missed the first time!
tenchi muyo is the same in terms of you dont watch it for the plot but because you geniunely love the characters and want to see more of them.
Great example
Wow
Fruits Basket: How to overcome drama and trauma stemmed from your momma 😟
Fruits basket was therapeutic for me
It taught me the most important lessons of my life
To be kind
To be grateful
Stop complaining and strive to change myself
I don't want to sound cringey
But...
Fruits Basket kinda saved me.
There are a lot of things I have done for which I won't be able to forgive myself. The deeply engraved guilt haunts me, even today.
Fruits Basket was a warm hug... A shoulder where I could keep my head and cry
A voice that told me... It's okay, Daijobudayo
Thank you Fruits Basket
Thank you so much
This is so heartfelt. Thank you for this.
Hands down the most impactful work of fiction I ever read growing up, it still gets me to this day. I’ve never found another quite like it ❤️
I'm 6 episodes into the original fruits basket and not really feeling it so before I just gave up on it I wanted to check youtube to see what other people thought, now with all these comments I'm reading I've got to finish it along with the newer series. Thanks guys.
Check out the newer series first. Though I suppose I am already too late
