It is an enjoyable ride. The whole series solely focused on the introduction of characters. The developments are there btw. The last 3 eps are pretty shocking. Never know that it got dark suddenly. And still need more closure from all the cursed things. Gonna look up for the manga soon. But, this is a pretty good series nonetheless.

The power words have on us is amazing.

After all these years, this series is still so important to me. These last 3 episodes are really just a taste of what the manga has in store, & wow do they elevate the rest of the series here. The music in these is also so good... well now I'm just emotional lol. When I was younger I didn't really understand why it had to be now to show Kyo's other form or why it had to be Tohru, why Uo or Hana couldn't comfort her. Definitely makes sense after all these re-watches. Sometimes you just need to say the hard truth and do things you find difficult. Sometimes comforting someone the wrong way hurts them more. They did so good in showcasing that.

Now I'm just glad the story is continued, after all these years, reaching new audiences and bringing back the old. I'm so excited for the sadness and beauty the reboot will bring <3

hmm, i will just say what came to my head watching this ep -tohru is fixing everyone "pasts" and feeling, so it will be good to finish the series while trohru trying to fix akito, and the everything will be alright, even if he doesn't quite "fixed". oh and the reason they have to listen to him is because he bear the "core" of the curse or something, because he have to, for some hidden reason, and then there's some unexplained talking about nothingness since the series is ending anyway.

but in fact - there's a lot for the series, a lot of plotholes and unclear things, and they still finished it because daichi (the director) wanted to do what he wants.

----

so the series was nice, 'till ep17 there was general good quality, from these episodes it's big downhill 'till ep24, last three episodes were really nice and directed well, but have their own problems. i'm glad there's the remake, so i can watch the story properly, i watched the original only to compare and to know more or less what to except.
7/10

This was a disappontment. No real answers were given, rather more quesrions remained. And the few last eps were so odd and unfitting to the rest of the story.
Also we never knew who the rooster and dragon were... unless Kyo was meant to be the dragon? That would leave Akito to get the rooster. But that thing didn't really look like a dragon, apart from the head.

I absolutely didn't believe Tohru when Akito was holding her hair and she told him she was happy she met him. There was not a single good encounter of those two so why?? It's right away stupid! Argh, I'm so frustrated! I hoped the story would come to a nice conclusion but instead it was kind of left open as it was... :/ Why bother presenting us all this zodiac and curse mystery when you're not even going to explain it? A very disappointing ending, after a largely nice and feel-good, slow paced show. This dramatic end stuff should have started way sooner and unravel more slowly and be better explained to the viewer.

Tbh i couldn't care less who Tohru ends up with. I first liked Kyo more but he is often kind of rude to her and treating her like his slave. Yuki is ok but a bit bland.

Looks like I will have to read the manga now. :/

Yup, I expected it to end unresolved. Still sad everytime this happens with an anime adaptations. This was still a fun ride and at least the remake exists so I can throw myself into the world of Fruits Baskets once more without having to wait 10+ years ^^; (sorry to the predecessors in this thread)

I started the remake when it was first airing and was glued to the series until they finished it, I have all of it very highly rated and so I decided to watch the original, andddddddddd it was pretty good. I'm genuinely surprised that most of the English VAs were the same with the big exception of momiji (the remakes VA is so much better) and overall I'm surprised I liked the original as much as I did. It had dated animation and the last 3 episodes were quite different than the remakes but they were still good. In the end I think the original fruits basket is a solid 7/10. Also the OP and ED were both very nice
