Fruits Basket: The Final

Hundreds of years ago, the Chinese zodiac spirits and their god swore to stay together eternally. United by this promise, the possessed members of the Souma family shall always return to each other under any circumstances. Yet, when these bonds shackle them from freedom, it becomes an undesirable burden—a curse. As head of the clan, Akito is convinced that he shares a special connection with the other Soumas. While he desperately clings to this fantasy, the rest of the family remains isolated and suppressed by the fear of punishment.

Tooru Honda, who has grown attached to the Soumas, is determined to break the chains that bind them. Her companionship with the family and her friends encourages her to move forward with lifting the curse. However, due to confounding revelations, she struggles to find the tenacity to continue her endeavors. With time slowly withering away, Tooru contends with an uncertain future in hopes of reaching the tranquility that may lie beyond all this commotion.

What an amazing anime.

I loved it so much the only complaint I have is that I finished it far too quickly.

I related a lot to a few characters in this series it's a bittersweet anime.

It's definitely going to get a few tears out of you but oh it's Definitely worth a watch.

I usually look up trailers for animes before I watch them and I wasn't that interested from the trailer but wow just wow.

I feel like the story was good it had some sad difficult moments but it also had moments where you got to know the characters it didn't feel like the anime had ... forced filler episodes as I've seen in a lot of other animes you have a few boring episodes here and there.
But I really feel like throughout the whole anime I did not get bored even if it was a backstory a flashback or a somewhat of a filler episodes you were always learning something new and relevant to the story which was nice to see.

This anime was so well written and so well produced and I loved the scenery and style.

Mixed Feelings

By far the best season of Fruit Baskets and was good but deserving of an 8.9+ rating is a joke. Before I get hate for this I want to say this anime is not bad but is not amazing either and all the expectations you might have, this won't live up to it.

This season really focused a lot on the characters and bonds with their loved ones and was very good compared to the others however many things are so forced into the characters nature, personality and making a lot of them to not act their age or act insanely edgy which gets justified by ... "ThE SoMa FAmiLy GaVE AlOT Of Trauma" just stfu. The thing that pisses me off the most is that everyone just is insanely selfish except Tohru because she has to be the heroine to save everyone for the happy ending yay except no because the author just throws logic out the window and while most people ignore this looking at this season objectively you notice many flaws.

I could go on and on about how many mistakes, inconsistencies and problems there are in the writing of the characters, their actions and ideologies but I really don't care enough about this anime to waste my time.

The point I'm trying to make is Fruit Baskets is good but that's it, it isn't some amazing anime with great development, plot twists and characters at best it's mediocre at most things. At least it's good in the romance genre but it's not even close to the peak of romance. Watch it if you want and you might find it fun but writing wise it's a disaster.

This show should not be listed as a shoujo anime, this is a trauma dump at its worst.
The story is trying to humanize a character that is literally the worst human being ever. Akito is abusive and is basically keeping a human sex slave. Not to mention the adult men who are sleeping with or are in love with underage girls. I know that adult men with high school girls are very common in shoujo anime but all the other stuff is not. I hate it!
And just add all the characters are one dimensional And Tohru has not changed for 3 seasons.
