Review of Fruits Basket
I'll preface by saying I've seen all 4 seasons of Fruits Basket from 2001 to 2019. Fruits Basket is the greatest shoujo anime show ever made. I will warn you that the 2001 show is not perfect and is incomplete, so I'd suggest focusing your viewing efforts on the 2019 version. While I enjoyed the 2001 piece, the ending is very poorly done, and the 2001 show is more light-hearted than dramatic. That being said, it's still very good, because character development is fantastic. Childish characters begin to grow into truly profound individuals, in part thanks to a girl named Tohru Honda, who while subjectto a running joke as a plain girl a "dummy," is the most pure and emotionally intelligent character of them all. Finally, the 2001 anime has an absolutely iconic opening song. It's a shame the song wasn't used in the 2019 version. If you skip the 2001 version, at least hear the opening song.
