Fruits Basket

I remember watching Fruit basket (2001), it only aired 26 episode. I'm glad they brought back some of the same voice actor who were in the 2001 version. I really hope that the reboot of Fruit Basket will go more than 26 episodes and trying to stay true to the Manga Series.

I've only watched the first episode, but not only is the show more beautiful than the original anime, it's so true to the manga that you can follow the what the characters said in the show line for line in the manga. I'm really excited to see this show get the ending it deserved - the first anime was great but it did leave you hanging.

I have read the Entirety of the Fruits Basket manga a multitude of times. It is beautiful, dark, captivating. When I watched the 2001 anime I also fell in love with the new, brief, sugarcoated way of telling the story. However I have always desired the original story be told as it is and seen through till the very end. Oh the end. This 2019 remake is dead on and I couldn't be more excited To see it all unfold onscreen. Finally. The real story. And I love that most of the original voices from the 2001 anime are in it because I was already attached to the sound of those characters. I couldn't be more happy about this revamped Fruits Basket with the original tale. It's one of those things I never thought would happen and yet here it is Dreams do come true

I read all the Fruits Basket manga as it was coming out years ago, and honestly only watched the original anime because it gave me quick nostalgia of the books but it definitely never really felt like a true animation of the manga. It lacked the depth and thoughtfulness the actual manga exudes in between periods of goofyness and absurdity. I am so glad they have remade the animation of Fruits Basket, I love the music, and it is much more accurate to what I read and fell in love with years ago. Finally an animation that gives the manga justice. I cannot wait to see more.

No one can deny Takaya's original manga series, is absolutely marvelous. A timeless masterpiece, with dark undertones that get progressively darker as the series goes on. This is something that the 2001 anime completely failed to portray in every almost every aspect. 2001 was a bubbly, over the top, tiny portion of the actual story. I noticed someone in the reviews before stated that the 2019 version should have just picked up where 2001 left off. Well, if that person was a true fan then they would know that the 2001 version left out KEY ELEMENTS to the story that are VITAL later on in the series. So in conclusion, JUST NO. A reboot was absolutely necessary if you want the whole TRUE story to be told. And Takaya is doing just that, she is overseeing all of production and 20 episodes in, I AM AMAZED, not only with the animation, but with the subtle updates to this 20 year old story, and not to mention the way that they are switching story arcs around slightly to better express the on screen telling of this story. The music also is a lot better in the reboot- You can actually hear Yuki talking, something that didn't happen often in the 2001 version because the music was not only obnoxious, but way too loud. I am so excited to eagerly keep watching every week as Tohru helps people with her kind heart and words, not only in the series, but in real life too. I have always looked back on this series throughout my life and it has influenced a lot of decisions. I whole-heartedly recommend this to ANYONE, no matter your age or gender.
