| I can't stop crying rn - that was so beautiful but it makes me sad to say goodbye to these characters. It was an honor to walk with them on their journey, feeling every moment of sadness, happiness, and hope that they felt and at times it pulled me through my dark times too. The finale was a perfect letter goodbye to all these characters that we've taken into our hearts. I thought this season was just as fantastic as the two that came before it. It saw each character gain the freedom and happiness that they so longed for and deserved in a satisfying and definite way. I thought it did a really great job of giving us Akito's side of the story and while I still can't forgive everything she did, it succeeded in making me pity her and hope for something better for her too. I felt like a proud mother watching our two boys, Kyo & Yuki, find the love and acceptance that they've always wanted and most importantly, finally forgive themselves for and accept their pasts. I loved that both boys told Tohru about how much she's loved and just how much of an impact she's made on the Sohmas' lives because she needs to realise what a beautiful soul she is! |
 |
so many happy endings |
| What will I do now without fruit basket mondays? T-T |

| 63 episodes over 3 seasons in over 27 months of airing combined, Fruits Basket has finally come to an end. I feel hugely satisfied, but also sad that this juggernaut of a series is now over, although the announcement of on OVA for next year is great news, though. =) 13 episodes for the final season did get some people worried, but I must give credit to the production team for their splendid work for the entire adaptation. Same goes for both the Japanese and English dubs for being top quality and making the emotions of their characters stand out so well. 10/10 will be my final score for what will most likely be my anime of the year. See you again soon, Fruits Basket! ^_^ |
| What a rollercoaster of emotions this show was.. 10/10 Is it just me or does Akito look like Mayuri in that pic lol |
| I'm going to miss Fruits Basket. All the way from the beginning, I never knew what to expect. But each season just kept getting better and better than the last. Tohru was a breath of fresh air every week. I aspire to be like her, even just a little bit on her kindness scale. Great ending to this wonderful series! I really like how they showed them still happy in the end as grandparents. |
| This final season elevated the series from a great one to one of my favorites, sad to see it go but happy it ended so strong. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
MenchiK1 said: Dukino said: well then you havent been paying attention. yuki saw tohru as a mother, he himself said that. if you cant accept it then you cant accepy yuki as a character Yeah I know, which is why I didn't like it, it seemed out of character. You need to re-watch Episode 21 from the Second Season if you think that is "out of character" you probably missed this episode somehow. |
| it is nice to see everyone got their happy endings, well from the characters shown in this episode; honestly didn’t expect to feel a bit sad seeing this story end because that’s usually reserved for anime I really loved so even though I didn’t hold this show in a high regard this show is still lingering in my mind |

newchaotic said: Criticiza said: WHAT AN ENDING! Sad to see it go, hope they animate another! That little snippet at the end was not enough man, where's the rest! The zoo date is ironically quite fitting, the animals brought them together in the first place and them celebrating the animals - by visiting them - is an intersting nod towards that. The cats not going to kyo is once again reaffirming that the curse has been broken, and that bittersweet smile kyo had says it all. Arisa and Saki are jokes as usual, especially the latter, with her mystique and her espers powers, and arisa really reminding me a lot of kyoko. Their message to kyo was sweet, take her and make her happy but don't upset her or you're dead lol. They're obviously sad to see her go but we all move to better things in life. Yuki and machi's interactions are still funny, him teasing her insecurities in a loving way, and her violent tendencies haven't seemed to slow down either xD. Their convo was nice, getting across that they'll miss each other and tohru but move on to better things and still keep in touch with one another, with machi presumably following yuki's footsteps into uni. I'm still on the rin's side of the fence, how are the rest of the cast going to act like akito is all fine and dandy when they're all dealing with emotional scars and physical scars, it's mad how they glossed over that. I've heard that another solves this, but just because someone's changed in the future with how they raise their children doesn't really excuse their abusive behaviour they had, it just shows they reflected upon it. Like you wouldn't excuse an abuser just because they changed, that feeling of enmity and fear will still remain no matter how long you act differently. Forgiveness is okay, but forgetting about what they did, which is basically what the other cast are doing, seems incredibly stupid to me, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. Yuki telling tohru everything was beautifully sweet, calling her his mother and putting the forth the idea that tohru was the mother of god in the zodiac signs, characterised by her saving each and everyone of her 'children'. And tohru crying realising she's actually loved and living life how her mother intended was dramatically nice, the loner girl worked her way through plenty of hardships to get what she wanted surrounded by those who she loves. Brilliant narrative. That end scene was a bait and switch, I'm not mad I JUST WANT MORE. User @tsubasalover seems to have found a confirmation of a new season and I can't not be hyped for it! Thanks for dropping that knowledge! Overall, this season suffered horrifical from pacing issues near the latter part, imagine a 24 episode series! But I loved most of it, and my only gripe is akito but forget that, the climax makes it a straight 10/10. Will miss it! I don't think they made everyone forgive Akito or glossed over it. They spent a lot of this season (and even last season) dealing with the cast's emotional scars from her and I think the point is supposed to be that just because you have been scarred or suffered in the past doesn't mean you can't move on and find happiness in the future. When Yuki said last season that he wanted to forgive Akito, it wasn't because he thought she "deserved" forgiveness or because he felt bad for her, it was because holding onto his trauma instead of moving past it was hurting HIM - his happiness, his ability to form healthy relationships. So he chose to put it behind him and move on. It doesn't mean he'll ever want to be her best friend; he simply chose not to fixate on the scars of his past anymore. As for the others, the only ones who seem like they will remain on any kind of actual good terms/ be friends with Akito are Shigure, who has been in love with her since childhood and is in a relationship with her, Hatori, who sees her as almost like his own child (and many parents will forgive their children anything), Tohru, who is a saint, and Saki, who was never abused by Akito and has no reason to hate her. The other zodiacs are unlikely to ever spend much time around her ever again. That is what some people seem to be forgetting - that in the past, they HAD to be around her frequently because of the curse. They couldn't help themselves. Now that they are all free to live their lives and find love, etc, why would they waste their time and energy holding on to a grudge? I've dealt with abusive people and toxic friends in the past, sure I don't have happy feelings towards them but I am not sitting around all day stewing in my hatred of them either. Life is about moving on from the bad things and embracing the good, making time for the true joy of living. That is Furuba in a nutshell: the story of how joy and love triumph over darkness and suffering, if you let them. And some characters like Ren and Kyo's dad are meant as examples of what happens if you let hatred and blame of others triumph over everything else in your life. The results are pretty ugly. But aren't they just ignoring the problem and facing it by themselves without talking it out? Seems counterintuitive to me honestly, as restorative justice is a thing that's ridiculously effective. It honestly just feels like they excused akitos behaviour but resolved to not be close to her. She did illegal things but they're not making her know what she did bad nor are they seeking retribution or justice for it. She physically tried to kill run by pushing her off the house, sure she might not have died but the facts do point to attempted murder or at least manslaughter at the least, but that gets glossed over. She physically slashed at tohru and nearly killed her in a crazed fit, but that's okay because their friends? Doesn't that seem just like enabling her crazy behaviour? None of them actually tell her what she's done wrong and make her understand that her behaviour was out of order, they either ignore her or tell her to never talk to someone else (if memory serves). Sure she can understand her behaviour was bad in retrospect, but can you truly say that just knowing what she did was bad would change her as much as knowing the consequences? You might say they don't want to meet with her and resolve things but that's half-assing things right? Like I personally don't see all 13 members and by extension the family members not speaking out at all. That's what annoys me. Akito is magically forgiven, at least she doesn't have to deal with problems, whilst the others are permanently scarred, hell she even attempted to kill kureno, like she fully stabbed him? Where's the punishment for that. That's undeniably attempted murder. Do you get my point? It just makes no sense to me for her to be able to live a life without justice being served, people can change sure but if they go unpunished the motivation to change is significantly less. Bastard!! for example solved this by . She gets away with 3 different counts of attempted murder, multiple instances of physical and emotional abuse that borderlines on torture - rin for example and kyo- which makes the message of everyone can be redeemed seem hella murky. If you can explain that in a way I can understand that would be much appreciated. I don't believe the message itself is wrong, akito can change but she needs to be punished at least according to the law or this anime seems to promote that akito's behaviour was fine because they were rich and had some supernatural problems in the background - might be a stretch but you get what I mean lol. |

| I'll keep this anime close to my heart forever. This anime taught me so much about hardships and to not run away from them but face them head on and sometimes not by yourself but with others. The scene at the end got me so emotional, I'm so happy Tohru got to live a happy life ever after with Kyo and had their own family. Perfect ending. Didn't get to see the send-off but the ending was still perfect regardless. |
| I posted this comment on GoGoAnime, so I think I will copy and paste it here: "What an emotional journey right from the start to the end. I cried, I laughed, I got angry and I was confused, but in good ways. Fruits Basket has become one of my favorite anime I have ever seen, thank you so much, Natsuki Takaya, for the ride. I can't wait to see Furuba: Another animated, until then, bye bye ^w^" I have learned so many life-lessons from this anime and I am so glad I chose to watch it. No one can ever change my mind. |

| *cue waterworks* Surprised they included that time skip at end when Tohru & Kyo became "grandparents".....I mean...I don't remember if that was included in the original manga or not but them including it here almost seems like they're not interested in animating Fruits Basket: Another at all? (bummer since I only recently found out it exists and haven't read it yet myself....) |
:3 |
| Aw man even if it was a lighthearted finale i was still not ready (ಥ﹏ಥ) |
| All ships successfuly sailed while blasting a hole in my heart! The whole show and this season in particular was an emotional rollercoaster and i loved every second of it! It 100% deserves to be called a Masterpiece and a Modern Classic! 10/10! |
| well that's just my opinion..... |
| First Fumetsu no Anata and now Fruits Basket, they really wanted me to cry today. Tohru calling the pony "Mini Isuzu" was hilarious. Uo and Hanajima's words towards Kyo while showing that image of them, Tohru and her mom was already starting to hit me. And then Tohru starts to remember how it all started and how she loved living there... :'( I loved how they all had their moment to appear even if it was short. Seeing how important Tohru was to all of them is just touching. I liked it and I think it was necessary to have Isuzu's point of view about Akito. I feel like for someone who did a lot of damage, the aftermath she left behind had been a bit sidelined, so seeing someone say outright that she will never forgive her was powerful and well done. Akito with long hair and that dress... she is so pretty. Of course my favorites were Yuki and Machi, I love them so much. She was my best girl and I wish they had more screen time. Tohru the mom lol. And then the ending. To be honest I've never been a fan of big time-skip endings so I would have preferred to see the aforementioned sendoff as the final scene but it was still a good way to end the series. Now that it's over, I have to say that there were some things I wasn't a fan of: -I know the show likes to be melodramatic but I feel like in this season they were way too melodramatic in certain parts. -Akito's change of heart. This is not about whether I can forgive her or not, but how they did it. Of course Tohru was going to be the key but I feel like they could have done more than just that melodramatic scene at the cliff. -Kureno as a character and his ship with Uotani. This is probably just me but yeah.... Other than that, I loved this series and am sad to see my Furuba Mondays come to an end. Furuba Mondays that started with the second season because I didn't watch the first one while it aired. I don't know, I was never a fan of shoujo series and only saw it as a reverse harem but over time it gained my interest until with the start of the second season (which was the best in my opinion) I decided to watch it and I'm glad I did because it ended up being wonderful. I'm going to miss it. |
| It was an emotional rollercoaster. I've followed this show since it started airing in 2019 and I'm gald that a friend of mine suggested it to me. It was an amazing journey. Thanks to all the staff members and the author herself for such a wonderful story. The final season had pacing issues sure but it managed to wrap itself up nicely. Satisfied with the ending. Really love this show. |

| fucking masterpiece of an anime - it deserves the #1 spot My favorite all time anime Episode 11 was the best, but the ending was great and Yuki's speech wrecked me |
| An excellent episode just like the remake which is perfect! |
| A Katsuya and Kyoko adaption coming next year? Oh dear god the absolute state of MAL when that comes out is going to be glorious. Assuming they don't change stuff, which they might. Good final episode though. Season was pretty damn good overall. |
acppotato said: What is the name of the song at the end of this episode? Which starts right before showing the older Tohru and Kyo. Pls, help me was on the first season ost, though dont recall when it played before but it did a few times. |

| That's a solid 9/10. What a great (for the most part) adaptation. Literally the only reason i can't give it a 10/10 in good faith is because of the stuffed they skipped/cut out. But it was still amazing. |
| Who's cutting unions at the end. I swear to god, this ending couldn't be more beautiful. I love that we've gotten such a solid conclusion, that I can't remember on the spot when the last time was when I experienced such a magnificent conclusion. The episode took it's time to give a conclusion to every couple that happened. I especially loved the part of Yuki and Machi. So glad for Yuki to finally be able to express to Tohru what she meant to him. That was fantastic. And I just lost it when we saw the children and grand-children of Tohru and Kyo. I lost it there, truly beautiful and to me an unexpected BIG time skip. Probably one of the biggest I have seen. I am not sure what else I can say to this beautiful piece of art other than I am going to miss you, Fruits Basket. What a truly spectacular experience it has been this past two years. 10/10, truly a masterpiece |
 |
| It felt a bit anticlimactic but the whole anime was one giant climax, but yea I didn't feel sad, moreso I felt as if time has left me behind at the end there... At the same time getting old sucks. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Wow, I loved every moment about this episode. It was a great ending to the story, I'm sad it has to end though, I love Fruits Basket so much and now it's ranked #1, probably not for long, but wow. It's great to see that it's so well loved. The moment with Machi and Yuki where Yuki gave Machi the key was the best, made me laugh. It'll be upsetting next week not expecting a new episode. This series has been a rollercoaster of emotions and it's just a masterpiece. 10/10. |
 |
| Wow. There's a whole time skip in towards the end? So Kyou and Toh grew old and had kids. Wow. What a surprise that was. This series is one the best I've seen that gets better over the course and had a satisfying ending. Everything was wrapped up nicely. |

| It is so depressing to see Fruits Basket finally come to an end, but oh Lord it was a perfect ending. We get to see Tohru and Kyo on their first date, with Uotani and Saya third wheeling ofc, Yuuki and Machi's scene with the key was hilarious too. I wish I got to see more of Uotani and Kureno because Uotani is literally my favourite character but that's fine I guess. Akito and Shigure are made for eachother because of how toxic they are I've been telling you all this timeeee, I liked seeing Hatori and Mayuko's moment as well, Hatori deserved some happiness after all that he went through with Kaya. Ayame and Mine's scene was perfect aswell oml and Momiji, I kinda feel bad that he doesn't have anyone yet, but he hasn't given up. I never really liked Kagura, she was kind of annoying. Haru and Isuzu are such a good couple as well, Isuzu not forgiving Akito, I'm with her there. What Akito did to the zodiacs was awful. Kise and Hiro's scene was amazing too omgggg I love all the characters too much!!. I'm really sad and annoyed that it's over, it's going to be so depressing next week expecting a new episode but remembering that there is no new episode. I cried so much that episode, they were tears of sadness, frustration and happiness, honestly, Fruits Basket is just tonnes and tonnes of different waves of emotions being thrown at you. Anyway, the episode was really great, 10/10 series. And omg, ranked #1 on mal? Jesus Christ way to go, for a romance anime that's impressive. But it is a masterpiece so who can blame the people rating it Amiright? Alright, well I'm going to head to sleep so goodnight. |
