Sksks, this is my first review so apologies if its wordy and stupid sounding lol!
*CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS FROM THE MANGA*
Fruits Basket S2 is a perfect continuation of the first season, even though they're removing some of the scenes every fan has been waiting for, at least we got a sequel so we should feel thankful imo.
Story: 9/10
The story is probably the best thing about it, the constant wanting to know who Tohru likes, while also bearing with the hilarious comedy and characters. Even though the series might dodge a few important matters (tohru's parents, etc), it doesn't mean we wont get it
...
in the next adaption- if they do decide to make it. Even though some may say the story line is very predictable, but I reassure you it isn't. The reason why I didn't give it a 10 is because the storyline of fruits basket constantly switches back and forth between characters and scenes which can be annoying if you've seen a specific scene multiple/countless amounts of times. The ending was definitely promising, im disappointed we didn't get any word on season 3 but hopefully we'll be getting one next year.
Art: 8/10
The artwork is pretty good, doesn't seem to have many issues. Even though there aren't many issues, I have noticed some of the artwork in some of the scenes looks really weird, like they're animated wrong. I don't know if i'm noticing minor details but it bugs me sometimes. Might not be much of a issue for others though. In my opinion, I think the animation has definitely improved for the better in season two.
Sound: 8/10
Okay, the sound is just perfect for Fruits Basket. The nostalgic OST's, Openings, and Endings are what keeps me hooked onto the shows melody. The voice acting is also very good, as well as the loudness of the background music/ost's. No real issues here, except sometimes the voice acting is very low which makes it hard to hear the voice acting.
Characters: 8/10
Some might say the characters are very generic but they all have important plot. Although having a good plot isn't always good. I do find in the storyline, the characters seem like copies of each other just so that another has a match. Take Momiji for example, his past is very emotional and sad, his mother went crazy after having Momiji and Hatori eventually wipes her memories, which leaves him with no real mother. His past is very unique, but when it comes to some of the other characters pasts, it seems to be copies of other pasts except they're changed in little ways that are still noticeable. I loved the episodes with Machi, even though they skipped the mother and fathers past, it was still an enjoyable sequel. & Even so, the characters development is what runs fruits basket, the anime did a very great job at animating from the manga.
Enjoyment: 8/10
Despite Furubasa's flaws, its a very great show, and the enjoyment makes it so much more fun to watch. Especially the Cinderella Play and the tad bits of comedy that are thrown here and there. The faces are also something that shouldn't be sneered at! would definitely recommend if you like pretty much pointless comedy here and there.
Overall: 9/10
Looking forward for the third (and final?) furubasa season! <3
