| It's been the longest while since I felt this emotional while watching anime, missed this feeling! Honestly, so far it's just what I could only dream of - voice acting is on point, so far I love VA choices for everyone, animation is simple, but artstyle is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE, and I love it with my whole heart! They improved Yuki a lot compared to first adaptation, by changing his design quite a bit, and giving him male seiyuu.  Gosh, there's no one as pure as my girl Tohru in the whole world! Also, this scene forshadowed: HNNNNG ...I'm just gonna fangirl for the next week till next ep comes out, aren't I. |

| Loved it! It brings back memories from when I watched the original for the first time in 2005. 💙 I watched it dubbed and it's like the VA's only did the previous series 5 minutes ago, they took back to the show like a duck to water which I thought was fantastic. Loved the ED credits and song, I want more! |
| I missed this so much. Tohru is such an angel. I teared up quite a few times when she remembered her mom. Also, the wave report is back. xD |
| I see potential but I also see a sloppy artstyle and brightness up to 11. |
| Oh my Gosh, I'm so happy about this adaptation. Finally, Fruits Basket gets the love it deserves. The visuals are lovely, I loved the V.A., I mean, I literally screamed when hearing Yuki and Kyo. So this is first season, good. I hope the second season will air in winter. The ED was really nice. Overall, a good start. |
| The transformation scene with the weird fog was really randomly low budget looking but other than that looked great! Can't wait to see this classic rebooted. |
 |
| As someone who's entirely new to the series, I'll say that the first episode seems really promising. I'm not an avid shoujo watcher by any means, but dear lord, the art is stunning! The soundtrack, too. This show has lots of things going for it.. I really hope it can deliver :D |

| This is already shaping up to be pure greatness and I loved every bit of this and everyone too Also, Honda needs to be loved and protected ASAP TwT |
| The old one was the first anime I watched from beginning to end- and I'm already loving this! I dragged out my old DVDs and binged watched the old one before watching this. It's.. not as good as I remembered. Though, the characters are great. So, it's nice to see it with a fresh coat of paint. Excited to see the next episodes ~ |
ロード中です...  |
 I might cry from nostalgia before the show ends. I was grinning from ear to ear from start to finish and started rewatching the original. Tohru always made me feel like improving back in the day. Lol. I'm probably gonna have to watch the dub as well just to multiply the nostalgic feel. Gotta hear my boy Kyo call Yuki a rat bastard a million times. |

| Slow start but interesting anime. Very emotional not-dragon Tohru's backstory. So basically she gonna interact with animal spirits disguised as humans. Reminds me to Kokkuri-san but serious edition. |
| First time watcher here, this reeks of old 90's anime and this is not a bad thing!! |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| First experience with Fruits Basket but good start. I'm liking Tohru already. |
| Such a likable series so far, but the visuals are not that special though. In fact they look early 2000s mixed a bit with a modern atmosphere (a bit though).'But I'm loving the plot so far, great opening episode. Hate rats though, can't stand those vile creatures. |

| I watched the 2001 version, Wow! This new one gives me nostalgic vibes. I'm glad they change the blue girl's uniform into white one. Tohru is probably one of the nicest anime character I've ever seen. Can't wait to see more tsundere cat boy in next episodes. |
 |
| I'm sold already. I will stick until the end. |
| Heard a lot about Fruits Basket but I've never actually seen the original so I'm definitely looking forward to this. So far it kinda seems like your standard stuff with the fantasy twist with all the major male characters being zodiac spirits but it seems quite interesting. Already liking Tohru. :) |
 |
| Oh, lots of comedy. |
 |
| A nice start , OST was really good , probably gonna be one of the better anime this season . |
| In all versions and translations, Tohru is such a good girl. I'm so glad we get to experience this story again. Welcome back my dear nostalgia! It's hard not to compare this early on, but this is definitely a more dramatic interpretation. I miss the comedy of the original, the timing was more hilarious + nothing can top kyo's original guitar solo intro lol. I'm loving Yuki's new voice. I hope they get rid of Tohru's/the girls' permanent blush. It should only be used when needed cos it's a little distracting for me. Was NOT expecting that flashback with the... hidden face. I'm actually really surprised they would include that this early. The ost & ED was gorgeous! I loved those cameo appearances, hiding some of their faces is a smart move to get us more hyped. Ugh I'm so READY for the feels train. Edit: went back and watched the dub. It definitely fixed the comedic timing for me, so it's probably just a language/voice inflection thing. Yuki was much sassier too. Glad they kept the original voices :*) |

| Kyaaaaaa I’m so excited!!! I waited 18 years for this! The flashback with her mom had me in tears. God I love this story. But why the OP so Yuki centric? Gimme more Kyo! Can’t wait for Ayame and Haru’s entrance >.< |
| Tohru so cute. New waifu confirmed. |
 |
| Pure delight watching this! I love it so much, and I can’t wait to see th rest of the seasons. |
| Nice first episode and amusing ending. It amazes me that there is older people who exist in Japan in anime. Seeing as though every MC parents are always dead or half way around the world. |

uninstallthegame said: also, to any manga readers. did this episode have any changes? At a glance, a few minor changes. Nothing that greatly impacts the story, but would only be noticeable to anyone with a deep eye for comparing things to the manga. -The brief scene where Tohru's admiring the city scenery before noticing Shigure's house is anime-only. -When Yuki and Tohru start to walk together after school in the manga, Tohru's briefly intimidated by the Yuki Fan Club girls watching from some trees. This was cut from the anime. -Tohru having a different set of clothes she wore while resting from her fever (had a kimono in the manga, anime has her dressed in the clothes she later wore when Yuki and Shigure offered her temporary stay at their house). |
| Fruits Basket is my all time favorite manga... really happy with this new anime so far... the passing is good (basically, the first episode cover exactly the same as the old version) looking foward to see some parts animated =D |
landofthekwt said: They put in a lot of things like her mother's death and the hat that were not revealed until later in the manga actually, is exactly like the manga... there's the same scene with the boy giving the hat to her right before she wake up... and her narration tells about her mother's death in the same part too I think the only difference is the first scene, reffering to the "promise" |
WhyCare said: Swagernator said: Pretty standard shoujo first episode, i like it so far .. its all new and shiny lol, it is as weird as i thought it would be. Oh and ... And aww... that Momiji look so adorable in the ending... I wish to skip the scene he grew up later T__T |
| Okay I got ready for this show by rewatching all of fruits baskets so I could compare and contrast. I know this adaptation is supposed to be more fleshed out so I’m very excited for this. Fruits Basket was one of the first anime shows i ever watched! I originally watched it in Dub so I can’t really watch the old version with the Japanese VA and for some reason it’s a little awkward for me but not really (I’m sure I’ll get use to very quickly) and the Voice Acting was good! The only thing I’m disappointed in is the PRINCE YUKI FAN CLUB DANCE ughhhh those queens were so powerful ... I want that back. And I sorta miss that roundish “noodle arm” design from the old show. I think that added a lot to the comedy but this is new animation, new staff so I’m expecting something new! I also feel like this show moved quicker. It’s not bad or good it just has a different flow. Overall this looks great! Everything looks clean the characters are as great as always and I’m excited for the next episode! I still hate yuki tho..... f*ck that rat |

uninstallthegame said: ah, even though it looks so polished and new, it still feels kinda old, but not in a bad sense. i'm getting almost some kind of nostalgia vibe from it, even though never read the source material before looks like a really heartwarming title. the comedy is nice and the drama isn't force tear jerking. looking forward to see what it has to offer  also, to any manga readers. did this episode have any changes? I believe they intend to change nothing in this adaptation. In the older version they skipped a few story lines and mainly focused on Tohru but this one should be extremely faithful |

| I just watched the first episode in English Dub and I can understand why some people feel somewhat disappointed with the performances of the original VAs, especially Yuki's who sounds as though he's has a cold(maybe the VA actually had one at the time of recording). However, it should be noted that it's been over a decade since they last voiced these characters so naturally they're going to sound a bit different since they're older now. I imagine we'll get used to it over time. Other than that, it's good to hear the old voices again after watching the 2001 version years ago. Very good opening episode. I've been really looking forward to this remake since it was first announced and so far it looks pretty promising. Let's hope it delivers! |

| God what a nostalgia trip. I loved the little easter eggs in it too, for those of us old fans. The animation was crisp (for the most part) and I can't wait to fall in love with this series all over again. The Japanese seiyuu really fit their roles and I enjoyed hearing the old English VAs reprising their roles as well. I can't wait to see how closely this follows the manga! I almost started crying lmao |
 |
| I watched the funimation dub and loved it waiting for episode 2. |
 |
| Holy moly ravioli,that was beautiful. I never finished the old anime nor the manga and don't remember much of it, but if it keeps like this it's certainly going to be amazing. Anyone knows how many episodes will be? |
