| I really really loved this remake, wow. I think I like the arrangement of the episodes much better than the original anime, and the additions to the story made it work out well for a longer series. In the last ep or so, there was the scene with Shigure and a man, can't remember if it was Kyo's master or Hatori, but they discussed the reveal as their "last chance". This is dark, and as someone who hasn't read the manga, only watching the 2001 series, I'm PUMPED to figure out the mystery to the zodiac family. The next season will be completely new and original to me and I'm so freaking excited. |
  |
| this ending leaves the impression that kyo is gonna get together with bloody kagura eventually..... ew |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Really good first season. This worked really well as a end point as well. I'm guessing the dinner where like every character ever shows up was partly anime original but it worked well for the ending. They also threw in some new characters at the end there. I'm looking forward to the new season in 2020 |
| Machi and Rin! T_T // Glad this remake somehow relay the same feeling i had when i first watch the original run anime and also the manga. // Also Machi and Rin ! <3 // gonna be more serious drama plot now // 10/10 easily for me since im biased but im happy that they even make a remake of this T_T |

| Great finale. Kyou is my favorite boy so I’m glad he had a great arc and great resolution. Overall I loved this show. It’s a great shoujo for sure and is unique with the underlying plot. I’d give it a 8/10 for this season. I’m really curious to see how the romance will develop because I feel like there will be tension with Kyou once Yuki and Tohru finally get together. Not to mention what’s going on with the curse and the black haired fuck boi? And why is he such a fucking asshole? Why does everyone listen to him? What is Shigure planning? Is he in a relationship with black haired fuck boi? Isn’t he underage? He’s so young yet he’s the master of the family? I’m sure all those questions will be answered eventually, but I have so many questions! |
| So much teasing towards the end for the next season! Ups and down but still an enjoyable show. I’m looking forward to the next season. |
 |
| What a ride this was. Very nice seeing Kyo and Shiso with the father-son love :) Can't wait for 2020 tho! The tease is real in during the ending, new characters and talking more about the curse. |
 |
| Excited for next season. They already leaked some of the new characters which is pretty interesting |
 |
| Such an emotional rollercoaster. Episode 24 and 25 were definitely my favs. I'm so happy Fruits Basket got reanimated. Honestly, so many things have improved and I'm still equally emotional. The timing throughout the season was a little weird, but overall loved this adaption. (Rip to the dramatic decrease in art aft 9:40 tho). Feeling some dread for the second season with that ending, but SO EXCITED. ALSO SHISHO MAKES MY HEART HURT. Voice actor and him are just so warm. |
| Sorry to be a downer among all the positive comments, but I struggled to keep an open mind these last few episodes. Even if they hit the beats, I don't feel like they actually brought out the emotions or had the impact that Kyo's form needed. Much like a slideshow, it's "here's sad thing, be sad" without making the most of the development. I don't quite know what it is, but it's awkward. And I have the strangest feeling whoever's behind this is Yuki biased. Best thing about the season was seeing a glimpse of Rin tbh. |

Akito's exact age was never outright stated in the manga, but he's supposed to be older than Kagura (who's 18 in the beginning of the series), but younger than Ritsu (who's around 21-22), so he's most likely 19-20 years old at the current point in the story. As for your other questions, you're right - they'll all be answered eventually. Awesome, thank you for the info. |
| thank you Furuba for these tear jerking arcs and sountracks, I can’t wait for the next episode <3 |
| Yaayyyy animated vers of RIN! 8D but uh yeah...I don't remember if the original anime ever explained it either....but Kyo's rosary is such a plot hole....especially in an earlier episode when he transformed into a cat the rosary had plain fallen off and cat spirit did not happen.... ah well....I can either try to reread the manga or wait for season 2 to cover it....but since I'm so la-- ER I mean busy.... |
:3 |
| The feels. Fruits basket holds a special place in my heart. The first series was decent but left things unfinished and so it is one of the few anime I actually read the anime of. I can happily say that this adaptation doe's a better job and looks to actually be concluded. I have watched a fair few emotional anime but there are no others that explores the characters in such depth to me. I understand all of them bit by bit and love them all. 10/10 for me~ |
"When everyone else is about to give up, the fighter who becomes the role model, is the true Leader."  |
| What a wonderful season finale. I normally don't like romances but honestly fruits's basket is an exception here. Despite it being a romance, I feel like they don't want to shove it in our faces every opportunity they get. Instead they throw in tidbits of romance here and there and it feels all kinda natural as a result imo. I also really really liked how the side characters aren't just „there“. No, they are actual characters with well thought-out story arc's dedicated to them (sometimes even spanning multiple episodes) and the screentime isn't just Thoru-Kyo-Yuki. Like legit imo. both of Thoru's best friends are among the best written characters in this series- this season even. Sure there where some tropes here and there, mainly Kagura but even she had her moments. Really can't complain much about this anime. I am really looking forward to the 2nd season! 9/10 |
| greatly looking forward to season two. it's displayed as mostly a simple slice of life, but there's a lot of hidden themes you can dig up from it. and every character had a meaning to the storyline in some way, i thoroughly enjoy that type of story. |
| These last few eps have been some powerful shit... best eps in the series along with the Uo backstory episodes. I dunno what to rate this show. I found the melodrama a bit too... heavy-handed sometimes, but many of the tragedies and struggles a lot of the characters went through resonated with me. It's a story about empathy, and I respect that. I think I'd like it more if it didn't feel a little tonally off sometimes, like transitioning between heavy-handed drama to quirky slapstick anime-bullshit comedy. Sometimes the comedy was amusing enough to get a chuckle out of me; other times it made me cringe. It was a good show, but I still prefer Clannad. |

| Oh, new characters for s2. Nice. It was good to see more about Kyo's backstory. Fruits Basket s1 really surprised me several times despite that I find some episodes (2 or 3) a bit annoying. The drama was pretty good except for Momiji's forced backstory and that annoying kid that I forgot his name. Kyou and Haru best boys ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 7/10 for the anime. |

| I never would have imagined when randomly picking up this series(the old one) around two and a half years ago that a remake would be made!! I loved the old one and I loved the manga I red after as well but the series was old and not talked about so I kind of gloss over it a bit after I am forever grateful to this remake for reintroducing me and so many other people to the story and making me more invested than ever before!! I truly do love this series and I can't wait to see this beautiful story animated to its entirety for the first time For me definitely a 10/10 PS season 2 is gonna be INSANE!!! |

| Masterpiece....10/10. Another show that makes me realise what's important in life. Kindness is the medicine everyone needs. Tohru is the definition of kindness. |
 |
| Glad to hear that Season 2 has been confirmed for 2020, so the wait is not going to be too long. Will it adapt the full manga? |
 |
kagura-pb said: Yes, it was confirmed long before s1 even started that it would be adapting the whole thing. Good is it also for fruit basket another? https://myanimelist.net/manga/91484/Fruits_Basket__Another |
|
| Looks like there's definitely more to come in the second season, can't wait! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Original Fruits Basket was better. More touching. Better songs. |
 |
| Really nice ending for S1. Once you grow fond of the series, it just keeps you in, despite the slow pacing, you just start to enjoy the hell of it, warms you inside~~ Yuuki won some points in the latter part of this episode, not bad, but Kyo is the best boy IMO. Kagura annoys me to no end at times tbh, like bitch, just let it go, no one wants a clingy girl like that, Tohru is gonna steal Kyo from under your clutches and leave you wrecked for sure! Shotttooo00_0000 said: Another show that makes me realize what's important in life. Kindness is the medicine everyone needs. Tohru is the definition of kindness. Right, that also applies to the viewer, Tohru is to be treasured~~ 8.7/10 = 9 |

fiza_imran said: kuraharah said: I'm finally free from this nightmare of a series. The premise sounded honestly great, a bunch of flawed people coming in terms with whatever burdens them in their life. Except a whole two cour season managed to offer nothing aside from a bunch of cardboard cutouts with bad sob stories instead of actual character writing. Idk who are all those random people and why should I sympathise with them, when the show doesn't do anything at all to make them interesting enough to care. 2/10. I seriously don't get why people like you sit through a show you hate then call it names and ask for a medal of appreciation for watching it. Nobody cares,show your fake elitism somewhere else. Yeah it’s pretty weird, if someone hates a show so much why would they keep watching it? Anyway 10/10 for me can’t wait for season 2, do we know how many seasons this will be to finish the story? |

| seems like I stopped breathing and hear my heart racing like crazy...Perfect 1st season! |
 |
| Just rewatched this episode again and I can't wait for the next season!! Totally had forgotten the appearance of three new characters too o: |
 |
| Overall decent show tho I'm not sure if I will be following it in the future. Most of the cast was quite likeable but the ones that were annoying were really annoying (i.e Kagura). Comedy was mostly unfunny but it had its moments. The show was too melodramatic for my tastes, I often found drama heavy-handed and overbearing that by the second cour I became almost completely desensitized to it and would often roll my eyes while watching it. I did care about Kyo's and Kisa situation in the second cour tho. |
| I do not get at all how this show is so popular.... It is above mediocre to me. I hated the main characters horrid overly nice personality. The last few episodes were boring and I skipped 2 because they were shit fillers. At 23 I had to force myself through and 24/25 FINALLY some exciting stuff happened.. The "heartwrenching" moments were ok but nothing special. I have no idea how this show was so popular and liked so much. |
 |
I'm kinda ashamed to admit that I passed this one up last season since it turned out to actually be really good, but I really enjoyed myself when watching this and am really glad that I decided to watch it! And we're getting a second season soon which makes me very excited! |
 |
| Honestly, what a great way to end the episode by exploring Kyo's relationship with his master, Kazuma. Ngl, their relationship is so perfect, it almost brought me to tears. ;-; In overall, I really did enjoy this season of fruits basket. I really like how they mixed a bit of the comedic factor into the story (I'm a sucker for comedy bruhhh). And the flow of the story was majestic, just on point. Although some parts of the anime were really repetitive though. I also enjoyed the wide variety of characters and their following personalities. Nevertheless, I can't wait for season 2. :D |
 |
| A great ending to a great series. Can't believe I skipped over this when I first heard over it, because I thought the premise seemed weird. Now it's one of my favourites. This series has been such a ride. Full of emotions ranging all the way from laughter to sadness. It was very emotional and I think I enjoyed every second of it. Tohru in particular has become quite an inspiration for me. The way she deals with everything she's gone through in life, and is still smiling and bright and cheerful and happy, and especially grateful for everything has really shown me how I could be better. Life seems so much better to go through when you can be grateful for the things you have, and not regretful over the things you've lost or the things you want or can't have. I also love Hatori and how selfless he is. Now that's true love. I'm glad I got to finish this before season 2 started airing, and I'm really glad I didn't decide to just skip this over and watch it later and then season 2 after so now I can follow season 2 as it airs every week! Truth be told, there wasn't much this episode, except for more background on Kazuma and Kyou and some mysterious thing going on with Yuki which I think are going to be important in the coming season. But I loved it nonetheless, seeing all the characters come together and celebrate, and still with some foreboding as to what is coming in season 2. Easily a 10/10. I would say I'm gonna miss them, but then again, season 2 is coming! So excited and can't wait! |
 |
| 2 days left for s2 here we go! |
 |
| I just got caught up after starting this a week ago, just in time for season 2 haha! :D |
FreshIngredient said: Yeah, so excited for tomorrow!I just got caught up after starting this a week ago, just in time for season 2 haha! :D |
|
| I wouldn't blame Kazuma about treating his grandpa that way. He was still a kid back then. He grew up and raised Kyo very well. That's commendable. Awwwweee at Haru, he really cares for other people too. And Tohru's reaction at Yuki was really funny lol! There will be new characters in Season 2? I can't wait to watch the available episodes. |

| Wow! That was so great to see remade, I felt like I was 15 again! The 2001 has had a special place in my heart all these years, and seeing it in this new light was a cool experience. It's so weird to comprehend I'm going to be seeing a second season of Fruits Basket (I know it's not the same), this is something I never thought I would be doing. Well, Onwards! |
