Fruits basket is truly an amazing series. It’s one of those stories that stays with you and one that you’ll never forget.
I totally agree
Kyo and Touro’s relationship is one of the most developed in any anime, especially because it didn’t seem possible at the start
"The stronger the love, the lonelier the goodbye."
I really miss this series, the characters and their relationships.
This is the exact phrase that made me cry for the first time. It's an emotional series, and I laughed a lot with funny moments, but it's hard for me to cry with these things. But THAT sentence... I started crying and I didn't stop until after the episode credits. What a beautiful anime.
The ending makes me emotional just by thinking about it. It's so good, and I was also angry that Tohru forgave Kyo because of how much of a coward he was, even at the most pivotal of moments.
I didn't understand why she forgave him, until I realized it was because he wasn't that person anymore, and Tohru saw that while Kyo didn't. And when they did get together, after Kyo finally overcame his fears and self-loathing, he just shined. He wasn't restricted, and flowed beautifully without any worries left, becoming exactly the man he promised Kyoko he would be.
I'm not someone that understands love at all. Tohru does, far better than I, but seeing how she did help Kyo realize how amazing he is, love has a beautiful effect.
The ending really was emotional and just so good! It didn’t really make me angry that she forgave him because Tohru is the type of person to forgive even if someone did something bad
Agree with you 100%
I'm a little peeved. The thing that you missed was that Tohru didn't forgive Kyo. It's that there was nothing to forgive kyo for. Kyo didn't let her mom die, he thought he did. He had a moment of hesitation due because of the way he was raised, and by then it was to late to reach Kyoko. When tohru responds to kyo, she strictly says "Are those the only TWO choices I have, to forgive or not forgive" cuz he blamed himself so much for something that was out of his control.
@@user-us6vl8cx9g Ok, you're completely right, I was mistaken in thinking Tohru was forgiving Kyo to begin with.
I have to say, given what you've said, I'm not exactly sure why I ever thought what he did was terrible. The only reason I can find is that Kyo managed to convince me it was his fault, as he told Tohru how he believed he let her mom die.
fruits basket is like a layer of onions! on the surface it looks typical and shojo style but as u go more and more deeper u find out that these characters are so full of flaws and dealing with different types of trauma and darkness they have to overcome! wonderful anime and mange. there should be at least one character a person can connect with~^^ thank you for making this video!! i feel like its underappreciated
I totally agree, Fruits Basket is such an amazing series! Also I’m glad you liked the video!
Fruit basket is originally such an amazing ,lovable manga, and for this story to have such an amazing adaptation is the best. I enjoyed everything about FB , beautiful story, beautiful characters, beautiful plot and art style, emotional moments, happy moments, sad moments, it gives it all , it was such an incredible journey, waiting every week for new episodes , I knew FB for quite a while, and I will always remember the beautiful enjoyable days watching this masterpiece. Thanks for the vedio, I really appreciate it 👑
No problem I’m glad you enjoyed the video! And I totally agree that this adaptation was truly incredible
This series has a special place in my heart, and its really shaped the life I want to live and the person I aspire to be everyday, a little piece of Tohru for the people in my life
I feel the same, this is a series that will always have a special place in my heart as well
Fruits Basket gave me hope as a child from a troubled home. Words can't explain how the manga brought me light as a child when I watched these characters shaped by trauma and abuse find happiness and lead hopeful lives. The fact that they found beautiful lives after living sad childhoods? It was such a novel concept to me. It taught me so much about love and kindness, it wouldn't be a lie to say it raised me.
Fruits basket is my favorite anime of all time. The characters emotions are explained so well. It doesn’t focus on Tohru entirely despite her being the main protagonist. The series going into other characters backstories, trauma, and feelings about the Soma family makes it easier to have a favorite character, because they actually go into depth about the side characters, even if they don’t contribute too much to the plot. This is truly a wonderful anime that does great on commenting on trauma and general human psychology, as well as relationships and traditions.
Yuki realizes that the love he feels for Tohru is different. It was Motherly love. Machi calls him as he rushes out to see her because she wanted to see him. It's a little bit nip picking, but I love this story and I've always been a huge fan of the manga. Realizing the kind of love he feels for Tohru is very different from realizing he can't be there for her the way Kyo can.
Great analysis :) It is sad how much Kyo blames himself for every negative event. I think it's because he was so used to being treated as an 'other' and the 'bad one' within the Souma family as a sort of scapegoat.
Also Tohru and Kyo are the cutest!
Thank you! I agree that Kyo was always blaming himself because of how he was treated by the Souma’s and also his father blaming him for his mother’s death is most likely what led Kyo to think like that
I didn't mind season 3. But as a manga reader I was so upset that some of my favorite chapters didn't become episodes but kyoko's backstory is getting a special so that makes me happy.
That sucks that they cut some chapters out but I think they did a pretty good job even if they left some stuff out
Also, we're apparently getting an epilogue story of Kyo and Tohru later on. Hopefully, they decide to add in an after story of Manabe later on because his backstory deserves to be told.
Fruits Basket: Prelude movie is here! It’s a movie about Kyoko and Katsuya’s love story if you haven’t realised yet!
@@JCsReviews I dislike that they cut out the VP's girlfriend and the story behind her father being the driver of the car that hit Tohru's mom and the hardship she was going through. To the VP it seemed like no one was there for his girlfriend, while everyone supported Tohru. Would have been nice if they did give an episode or 2 to touch upon that.
@@user-wu7uk1np2dwait WHATTTTT?! Manabe’s girlfriend’s dad hit Kyoko?!?!?!
Yuki easily had the best scenes and development
Yeah he definitely had some of the best character development in this series
@@JCsReviews it was so fitting for him to be the one to talk about tohrus motherhood to the zodiacs at the end
I totally agree, it was such a beautiful scene and I’m glad it was Yuki that told her that
I don't think so. It was really well balanced and we all got to know Kyo more and fall in love with him too.
I am really glad that a series that was considered old got the brotherhood treatment, granted I found it funny that out of all the older anime to get it, it was this. I remember how good it was back in my day, and to see a future generation not only appreciate it, but get a good adaptation this time around makes me very happy.
I like the characters' development. Lots of insight about human psychology; trauma, abuses, parenting, rejection, love... ! e.g Yuki, in Season 1 has needs, and is a "taker", in season 3.. he has grown.. because Honda was a good enough mother figure for him.. then he learns to give and care for others.
i watched the og anime in 2004 ( i was 10) and while growing up in a screwed up family, Fruits Basket was the anime that kept me sane, comforts me. i rewatched 26 episodes anually . i really mean it, anually. Up until i was 14 years old, had my own laptop and i found out about the manga with 136 chapters, it became my holy grail. I learned a lot from all char's backstories, even Tohru. Everything made sense. I guess Fruits Basket is like a therapy for us the broken ones. Fruits Basket 2019 finally gave me the satisfaction that i longed from since 10. Fruits basket change how i view people around me and the way i live my life. I have no shame of saying Honda Tohru is my role model. Fruits Basket trully inspired me. I will always go back to Fruits Basket, anytime , anywhere
I’m on season 1 and this is amazing, wasn’t expecting this anime to be so deep and sad . Ariasa’s life story and the blonde cute boy’s backstory made me cry so much. Tohuru is an amazing positive character I want to be more like and although this anime made me laugh , it also made me cry
I know it’s so good and sad 😭
@@JCsReviews yeahhh
This is such a lovely recap and review of Fruits Basket. Thank you for this video🙏🏼
It was so beautiful and so happy this adaptation got what it deserves. It's such a good story.
I didn't want it to end but it was so fulfilling at the same time. Everything that needed to happen and be said was done. This is 100% my favourite anime I've ever watched
After that amazing review I feel obligated to watch it 😂 keep it bro 💯
Thanks man!
Hey, I've just finished FB season 3 and your video is the first review I see... Because I desperatly need to share somehow this beautiful experience this show allowed me to have.
I was like you at the beginning ! I thought it was a more than okay show to watch as I progressed in season 1 and I was glad to watch it but I also felt like I was missing something because I heard a lot about this show before starting it, how it was praised.
I entered the show with too much expectations, this was my mistake because it prevented me to really appreciate it from the start.
Fortunately, Tohru opened my eyes (who else ?) at the very end of season 1, the moment she turned back to Kyo after he first rejected her in his true form... The look she had instantly reached deeply into me and awoke me because I felt I was not able to fully understand her look. I remember the shock and the growing revelation in the following secondes of what I had truly just watched during that first season.
From this point on, the rest was an exceptional and unforgettable journey.
It pains me to say that Fruits Basket is NOT perfect because I want to respect the definition of perfection which is that it can never be reached...
But at the very least, FB is an all-time masterpiece. Beautifully balanced and an extremely valuable lesson of life. Straight up in my personal Hall of Fame :)
I would want all this characters to be real so that I could talk to them !
Only very very few shows have produced such an impression on me before.
Thank you for your review and all hail to the power of anime !
I’m glad you enjoyed the review! And I’m glad you enjoyed Fruits Basket that much as well!
This anime got me in tears at the end.
This anime had so much emotions in it, and the ending was so happy, they all became adults and lived a happy life in the end. The songs and soundtracks are also emotional. Somehow, it bought me to tears at the end, my heart was melting.
I never wanted this anime to end, it’s the best anime I’ve ever watched.
Even now, I’m still tearing up (I’m writing this after 2 minutes of finishing the last episode).
I feel like Tohru now, whenever she heard Kyo’s name, it feels like a knife stabbing her chest. When I hear ‘Fruits Basket’, or even think about it in my head, it gives a strong feeling to my chest.
I’m definitely going to rewatch this anime for the 4th time on New Year.
You did great with this video dude! I hope you keep chasing your goal and growing the community that loves you and that you make happy just existing ;w;
Thank you! I really appreciate you saying that :D
Fruits basket was everything and more! It touches you in ways that are hard to explain but we all go through at one point or another in our lives
Been watching a few videos on your channel and I really enjoy your commentary, I think I was your 1000th subscriber, I hope there are many more to come, great work :))
I think you were my 1000th subscriber, thank you!
I love🥰😍😘 Fruit Basket
Season 1,2&,3 and i am so glad everyone had a happy ending😍😍
Great take!
I’m so happy more people are aware of this beautiful series. Fruits Basket was my first manga ever and I’ve never read or seen anything that tops it. I was so happy the anime had a reboot but I must suggest everyone read the manga! It’s so fantastic and the art is beautiful! If possible, read the Tokyopop editions! They’re the ones I grew up with hehe ❤
I think Fruits Basket is one of the most perfect anime’s I have ever watched. I thought it was just going to be a cute slice of life, but in season two and three, I was crying in every episode. It made me feel things I didn’t know I needed to experience at some point. Kyo, Yuki, Tohru, Shigure and Hatori are my favorite characters, and I’m so happy about how their stories ended. My only issue was with the age gap relationships, those were brushed over and a little uncomfortable for me, like Kureno and Arisa were cute, but nine years? With a 17 and 26 year old? Umm, okay. Similarly with Akito and Shigure, it was a little weird, but they made sense. Kyoko and Katsuya also with an 8 year age gap with her in MIDDLE SCHOOL? The relationships were cute and well written, but I think they overlooked the age gap, but I know in Japan it’s different with the age of consent, but for me, it was hard to not notice considering Akito was still a child at the time. Other than that, I love Fruits Basket and all the relationships, but at least they address the age gaps, so I’m mostly fine with it.
I'm not caught up on Fruits Basket, but I wanted to show some support!
Thanks dude I really appreciate it!
Just finished the show... leave me feeling warm and fuzzy.... My one-line summary is LOVE trumps all!
Just finished watching for the first time !!!! I really liked it !!!!
Agree with your comments - I loved it...
Fruit basket make me cry a lot too. I can't help it.
The ending was sad for me idk why I cried so much at the end-
this show morphed my childhood and i can not complain
100%. I binged Season 1 and 2 within two days on a long weekend. ( it had me that hooked).... when season 3 started airing it was painful waiting every week
i feel sorry for those people who think this anime is just a reverse harem plot sht they missing out this master piece thats why im pushing my friends to watch this anime
watch fruits baskets last night along with the movie. and I was a train wreak but so satisfying to watch.
Thinking about tohru makes me warm and emotional again. best anime ever !!!
Growing up watching the 2001 version is very nostalgic and I agree that having this as your first engagement with the series does make it seem “just okay” from mostly flow of the story really, though I love this remake for its devotion to stay true to the manga!
The only thing I wish from Fruits Basket is an episode that showes how the others are doing. I’m so curious, but I guess I have to interpret it to my imagination
There’s a sequel but it focuses on the new generation of kids aka the children of all the couples- you don’t see Tohru, Kyo, Yuki and everyone else we know but we do hear about them sometimes- like how Akito is doing
I love this show so much!
The ending had me bawling like I was mess.😭
I love a good spoiler. I just started watching the series today . I just wanted to know what I was getting myself into as I have 2 more seasons to go . It is a great series so far .
I'm a year late to watching the final season. I'm glad I watched it.
I sobbed so much but I fill fulfilled by the ending of this anime 😭
No! It was unfair,it was just so so so unfair to Yuki💔
While I haven’t seen the 2019 anime,I did read the manga and from what I’ve seen the 2019 pretty much follows the manga.
Pretty much. It greatly changes some stuff like Ritsu's introduction which has been completely reworked (He no longer gets into guy clothes after 5 mins, all the jokes about him dressing in girls clothes are gone and he sparks up a romance with Mitsuru, something that was only briefly hinted in the manga). Also the final season condenses a lot of the later chapters. Season 1 and 2 were pretty accurate with a few cuts here and there but season 3 is really rushed. It's still good, but I would have preferred it had more episodes to tell the story.
I haven't read the manga but I've heard it follows it pretty closely, although some things may not be exactly the same
@@JCsReviews The third season cuts out a lot of material. For example season 1 and adapt at a speed of 1-2 chapters a episode, and very rarely 3 chapters...with only about half a chapter of material cut. From season 3. There is several episodes that adapt 3-4 chapters a episode with sometimes entire chapters skipped. Season 3 skims through about 30 chapters of material with over half that on the cutting room floor.
@@drakenfist Oh ok
@@drakenfist Yeah personally I found it heartwrenching to see everything they cut.
This shows a masterpiece, the only thing I would change is maybe having less “high school girl” obsession from shigure
I have a question for thought: what were your opinions on Momiji's character?
I thought Momiji was a great character and I really liked his character arc throughout the series
@@JCsReviews upcoming spoiler, sort of: Do you think he might have genuinely loved Tohru and that he may have been a little cold towards Kyo due to some kind of jealousy in the last few eps?
@@okanko962 yeah I do think he probably loved Tohru and I think he was jealous but he also understood that he couldn’t make Thoru happy the same way Kyo could
@@JCsReviews I guess I just found it quite interesting, seeing how most of the Sohma characters who had a descriptive sad backstory received something nice at the end; whereas Momiji didn't. I was hoping Momiji and his mum, or better yet, himself and his sister, had spoken more in the anime, I thought they were hinting towards it but nothing came about it sadly.
@@okanko962in the sequel, he got a happy ending- I won’t say much cuz it’d be spoilers but yeah
Everything great about the first two seasons was cranked up to the max in the third season.
I wanted to spoil it for me because my heart couldn't handle it
The only thing id argue is that akito did not end up with a happy ending, as shigure kind of groomed her
The way he says akito 💀
Lol am I not saying it correctly?
@@JCsReviewsnah your ok
Man I keep hearing about how great Fruits Basket is and I tried watching the anime but I got bored on like ep 10. I mean Torhu’s great but Kyo and Yuki are straight up irritating like everytime they’re on screen I instinctively roll my eyes like my god they piss me off.
Wait till s2
I didn’t like yuki s2 plotline
