The official website of the Fruit Basket television anime announced a compilation film subtitled Prelude on Friday, revealing a key visual (pictured). The film will open in Japan on February 18, 2022.

The film will serve as an omnibus to the three-season anime series, including the Kyouko to Katsuya no Monogatari (The Story of Kyouko and Katsuya) prequel, as well as new scenes written by the original creator Natsuki Takaya taking place after the television anime. The staff and cast from the television anime are returning at TMS Entertainment.

The Kyouko to Katsuya no Monogatari side story anime will adapt chapters from volume 16 of the original manga, centering on Kyouko and Katsuya—parents of the female protagonist Tohru Honda. Miyuki Sawashiro (Noragami) and Yoshimasa Hosoya (Bungou Stray Dogs) are reprising their roles as Kyouko and Katsuya, respectively.

The supernatural shoujo manga ran in Hana to Yume magazine from 1998 to 2006. Takaya drew the Fruits Basket: Another sequel manga between September 2015 and December 2018.

The first two seasons aired in 25 episodes in Spring 2019 and 2020. The third and final season premiered in 13 episodes in Spring 2021. Crunchyroll and Funimation simulcast all three seasons with subtitles and in English dub, respectively. Funimation also licensed the anime's home video rights and released the first two seasons on home video between November 2019 and March 23.

Why is there so much pedophilia in shojo manga?

Another case of wait long long before we can watch the movie complication of the arc that never got transitioned to the anime.

Okay, that's a lot of timeframe that the movie might be setting itself up for but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless. I was convinced we'd be seeing the end of the series in animated form after the 3rd season so I'll take whatever I get.

February 2022 doesn't sound too bad honestly, hopefully the movie will be available outside Japan though.

@lemonsorbet It is not clear at this point,

I'm sure that all three will be in the movie.

Well thanks! I will look forward for the movie and I hope it will be atleast 2 hrs long. Not like what happened in Orange Mirai.

More fruba content :) although I hope we get good kyo x tohru scenes

Oct 30, 2021 3:24 AM by oxholliexo

Looking forward to listen to tohru's parents story and oo another new scene after fruba final season? I hope they add tohru and kyo after story because I cried too many times I don't want them to leave me empty #bestship2021 ;). I hope the movie compiles their scene together after telling tohru's parents story, it would made my day tbh. Plus I wish the author could make another manga talking about tohru, kyo and the rest of the characters during their adulthood time with a slice to life take on it for sure with some comedy I'm truly missing ;(

Tohru parents story + 3 seasons in one (or recap / omnibus / compilation, which is basically the same thing) + Tohru x Kyo after story in one movie.

How on earth are they going to compile all of that into a single movie?

Oct 30, 2021 3:15 AM by lemonsorbet

So Kyoko and Katsuya Monogatari and Fruits Basket Prelude is the same or not? Those two are separated or the main title of Kyoko and Katsuya Monogatari is Fruits Basket Prelude?

I am confused by the wording in this. The article is saying that it is a "compilation movie" and that it will act as an "omnibus to the tree-season anime series", and then immediately after talks about the movie featuring new content that wasn't included in the TV series (i.e. the story about Tohru's parents, as well as those new scenes written by Natsuki Takaya)? Which is it? I mean, I'm sure it can't be both... The TV series had like 60+ episodes, after all. Unless there is a plan for several movies to be released.

movie is omnibus of 1. Tohru parents story + 2. 3 seasons in one (or recap / compilation, which is basically the same thing) + 3. Tohru x Kyo after story in one movie.

I kind of wish we have Fruit basket another adaptation at some point. I am not sure fruit basket need a compilation movie. Hope there is some substance in the extra content

Oct 30, 2021 2:24 AM by Adampk

I'm glad we'll get to see more of Kyo and Tohru.
