...could you please explain...when Fruits Basket 2001 is only one fifth of the whole story?

They also totally changed 2001's Tooru's character into a weak, helpless girl during Kyou's arc which I freaking hated.

A. Why would it matter that the 2001 series didn't cover the whole story? They only had 26 episodes to work with, they had to make up their own ending, and I think they did an incredibly good job. Also the 2001 series had better pacing and sharper comedic timing.

B. The 2001 series made it a point to show that Tohru had not even begun to cope with her mother's death in any meaningful way--instead pretending that she was still around out there, waiting to help her out if she ever found herself in real trouble. Those final episodes finally unleashed such a situation, and when Tohru sought guidance from her mom, there was none to be found. It was paying off that long-established setup, that her mom is gone and that she can only find guidance from her friends and from herself. I had actually forgotten that the graveyard scene was exclusive to the 2001 anime, so I was disappointed in how quick and easy and painless the resolution in 2019 was.

I like how people are saying that the monogatari series is a better version of bunny girl senpai despite bakemonogatari airing 10 years before bunny girl senpai.
or to put it another way, bunny girl is the worse version of monogatari because it aired ten years later and seems to be somewhat imitating it

Yeah exactly. I don't think that bunny girl senpai is bad, but it is inferior to the monogatari series though.

Depends. Does Bunny Girl Senpai have open support for pedophilia like the Monogatari series does? If not, then it's already a massive improvement.

Black Clover is the God of rip offs. Which means that it copied bnha too.

Hot take, Owari no Seraph is a much more likeable version of AoT, just with vampires and demons.
But I dunno... I don't like the majority of the cast and how AoT developed.


I watched with a friend the first Pokemon movie and he was like: That's like if Elfen Lied had been actually good and not so edgy ... and I just can't forget about that. It makes so much sense lol


nah the characters in aot are only the side dishes, everyone watches it for the world building

Because you don't like the cast doesn't mean they aren't well written.
I personally love all of them, but that's subjective.
I think everyone can agree that majority of AOT characters are well written, but not as likable as in many other anime since they're serious and depressed most of the time.

Sukitte Ii na yo. >>> Horimiya (just talking about the anime)

Horimiya is not the only show where the main couple gets together at the beginning of the anime, even tho many of its fans would like you to believe that.
Only comparing the anime tho, cause the Horimiya manga is a romcom while the anime adaption is more drama heavy.
There's no possible way you can steal my heart

na

Chuunin exams were way better than hunter exams.
I prefer kurapika but sasuke was more fleshed out.
Kurapika didn't even have a backstory...it was just said...not even touched Further
Akatsuki > phantom troupe in terms backstory and motivation... although phantom troupe are equally as fun to watch..and I love how they're like family.

Orochimaru is a freak so hisoka is better although not by much...his motivation is cliche

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is better than Fullmetal Alchemist (In my opinion, both shows were good - FMA got me into the fandom then I caught up with the manga).

Sailor Moon Crystal is better than Sailor Moon. SMC actually made me like Rini, which is saying something since I didn't like her in the original.

Don't get me wrong, all of the above shows are good ;).
