Fruits Basket dazzles with uniquely varied characters, a clever Zodiac-transformation twist, and a seamless story that redefines trust and friendship through everyday Sohma life. No real flaws dampen the experience. It’s an easy, wholehearted recommendation, with the magical hug-triggered animal ...

Fruits Basket impresses with its varied animation styles, distinct character designs, and clean background art that keeps the focus on the cast. However, Tohru Honda ruins the experience—an unbearably perfect, hollow Mary Sue whose saccharine monologues and plot-central role feel emotionally shal...

Fruits Basket is awesome! No two characters are the same and their personalities differ greatly. There is rivalry hidden in here, which makes it quite funny at times. I would have to say Hatsuharu Sohmais my personal favorite because of his black and white personality. I think it's pretty cool, t...

My Fruits Basket review (I watched Fruits Basket dubbed, not subbed) Story: The story is brilliant. It's pretty much about a yong girl named Tohru, who lives in the woods in a tent after her mother's death. One day while walking to school, she finds a house and she decides to check it out. Appare...

The idea of people turning into zodiac animals is really interesting and was a great way to hook my attention. I can also relate to Tohru in that her family is her friends. However, everything else was pure garbage—from the romanticism of homelessness to the emotional abuse. They try to pack in a...

The only faint nod I’ll give is that the background art isn’t completely ugly. Everything else—story, characters, sound—drowns in a nauseating loop where a new zodiac member shows up, Touru babbles hollow acceptance, and the same saccharine cue drags on until you feel sick. By episode 20 it’s cle...

Fruits Basket is an anime that sets a mood at the start and follows that mood til the end. Story - 7 Definately dialogue driven rather then plot driven, Fruits Basket doesn't start you in one place and end in another, it simply delivers a message. With a mildly unrealistic female main character, ...

The zodiac-curse premise hooked me and Tohru’s “my friends are my family” vibe felt relatable, but everything else collapses into romanticized homelessness, cyclical angst, and regressive gender politics where women exist solely to heal emotionally stunted, often abusive men. The anime only impro...

Fruits Basket succeeds in creating a heartwarming atmosphere with its emotionally resonant sound design and pleasant environmental artwork that harmoniously guides viewer emotions. However, the series suffers from slow pacing that makes binge-watching tedious, redundant storytelling that feels to...

Fruits Basket is a brilliant, colorful favorite whose heartfelt story and delightful cast never miss. Aside from finding Akito bossy and a slight dub-level mismatch, every episode left me smiling. Highly recommended; the moment Tohru first triggers the Sohma zodiac transformations still shines br...

Fruit basket is about a girl Honda Touru who gets involved with the Souma family and starts living with them. But the Souma family is not as it seems. Some of them are cursed: They turn into Jyuunishi animals when they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex. Okay this part is fine, but it bri...

I enjoyed the story all the way through and found the zodiac-curse premise engaging, but the final episode delivered zero resolution—the curse remains, the leads still can’t touch, and I didn’t even realize it was over until the credits rolled. If you can tolerate an outright anticlimax, the rest...

I watch this back in the days i was just a naiv young and new anime lover and better did i know to watch fruits basket. (this all happend little over a year ago but who cares) It's like when you first start the whole "i love anime" - train there are some anime there are just handed to you and jus...

The series shines through its psychologically grounded cast who wrestle with emotions they can’t simply will away, and through Tohru’s rare gift for perceiving the true pain beneath surface behavior. While the animation is ordinary, a handful of filler episodes drag, and the core zodiac curse que...

I have never read the manga so I don't know if it has the same story but the ending in the anime ruined the whole series for me. I pretty much enjoyed the whole story until I got to the ending and there was no resolution at all. The main problem as I saw it in the story is that this family has a ...

The genius of this anime is not a complex story full of irony and plot twists; in fact the story is somewhat predictable. However, unlike much anime, this one does not depend on the characters emphatic exclamations of ‘I will do my best’ and willful hearts to solve everything. The characters expe...

Fruits Basket dazzles with 13-year-old visuals that still crack my top-10 list, a lovable, diverse cast led by the sweetest heroine alive, and an OP so soothing it’s unforgettable. The plot isn’t groundbreaking and Yuki can feel like the usual prince archetype, but the story grows into a genuine ...

So, this will be my first review of an anime, so please bear with my newbie-ish review. This review will be talking about my first ever anime series: FRUITS BASKET! Because I thought it would be appropriate for a first review. I haven't watched it in some time so i might get some facts wrong, als...

The name Fruits Basket put me off from this thing and anyone thinking the same should listen to this review because you probably won't enjoy this show. This story is Anime Twilight and I didnt know this. There's no good action or story here. Still there is something here for the typical anime fan...
