Natsuki Takaya hated the old Fruits Basket anime was because the characterization, the character's appearance, the mannerism, tone (it's actually a serious manga and it does have good comedic timing), Akito's true gender, and the main plot points that Takaya did tried to point out before the manga ended, but Studio Deen didn't listen to her.

I believe she also said something about not liking her old art style. And the first series really reminds her of it. That's why she's happy about the new-well, everything. (Don't quote me on that. I may be wrong).

BeThomsen for one thing, it’s all over the place, especially re. There’re so many characters who are made to look important but aren’t actually. I can’t begin to count the number of times where I thought to myself during a fight: “I have no idea who any of these are, or why I’m supposed to care.” Also, the clowns were apparently behind everything, but are barely mentioned again. To be fair, I haven’t touched the series for at least a year, but I know there’s a reason I stopped keeping up with it. There’s too much going on, with too many people, and not enough time devoted to making sure they stick with us. FMA did that superbly imo, with a fairly large cast of supporting characters who were memorable in their own ways. When watching it, I never once asked myself things like “Wait, who’s this Marco guy again” or “When are they gonna talk again about the fact that this Father guy controls everything”

[@yurikuki]

Glad production companies revived classics like Dororo, Parasyte, etc. Even though they already ended years ago.

[@ADTillion]

Urikuki Agreed, but, you have to see the other side too. Why would they not invest into a newer IP instead? It says something about society when the biggest trend is to revive old concepts and characters that are GUARANTEED to get fans to watch and spend. It’s kind of a safe bet, versus nurturing new content. Hollywood actually has a set model to use and a timeline to remake old concepts, because they know that audiences will consume the same thing yet again once their minds become nostalgic. It’s business as usual, but whether it is “artistic integrity” is something that’s up to your interpretation. Again, I love it when they remake good stories in ways that surpass the original (even though there are cases where the original is better) but WHY they do it, should be evaluated, especially if one is hoping to go into the entertainment industry in order to make “unique” content.

[@Medachod]

@@ADTillion There can be great revivals like Samurai Jack and horrible ones like Teen Titans Go. Rule of Thumb should be to never revive a property unless the original team, at the very least the creator, is involved. Otherwise, you're better off making something new since a different crew will butcher the integrity of the original.

@@ADTillion Agreed. Although I think the Anime imdustry and Hollywood industry have different perspectives and markets. Hollywood loves remakes

@@yurikuki No, it's just strange to have someone else revive a series. New people have new ideas. It will never truly be the same. Just because you love something doesn't mean you know what's best for it. Revivals should always have the same people. It's only for rare cases such as worldwide popular franchises that they kind of need to continue on with new people or else they lose their cash cow.

[@Medachod]

I agree with you there. I rewatched certain scenes in the original after watching them in the reboot and, well not bad, the atmosphere is far heavier in the original due to the art style and soundtrack.

[@nissairving397]

Medachod that has to do with the newer adaptation matching the tone of the manga. The manga itself definitely has the comic relief that is emphasized in the first anime adaptation. However, the manga definitely a tone much somber to what is seen in the first anime. I have nothing harsh against the first adaptation. It captures the lighter moments, which had in turn captured it's audience, in an a way that was perfect for an anime that didn't keep necessarily keep true to the manga.

[@XxAbraxasmeadowxX]

Nissa Irving I’ve read the manga too and I absolutely loved it. The best manga I’ve ever read. But when I watched the new adaptation, I did get a little bummed out about there not being some hilarious parts that were in the original anime. Like when Hana and uo visit their house for the first time oh my god! So funny!! And i know that that part wasn’t in the manga but it just made the anime so funny. But getting further into the episodes, I’m really enjoying it and getting back into the manga mindset. And I’m so excited to watch it through to the end! 🙂

[@nissairving397]

XxAbraxasmeadowxX this past Tuesday I got to watch the first three episodes of the first adaptation during Anime Night at the Alamo Drafthouse. I'm happy it was only three episodes. Especially because it further cemented my thoughts on how garbage the first adaptation was. I'm a tiny bit understanding to why you were bummed out. You grew to enjoy it and the slapstick comedy, that had been purposely filled in to draw more of an audience, and that I happen to not be a huge fan of the way my boyfriend is. The comedy is still there in this new adaptation, however, it just isn't in your face most of the time. I think this is great because it is now grounded with the other moods happening throughout the story. Before I start to rant, I hope you enjoy this new version that is staying closer to the manga.

[@MM-TheEnd]

Thank you for this review. My whole life, I actually never had much respect for anime, finding the expressions to be over done and silly. So I never watched any anime series, expecting them to be all the same. But my niece recommended Fruits Basket to me and for some reason, I decided to indulge her. I started with the 2001 version and the intro and outro songs had me latched. They were sweet, simple but also deep and melancholic. Then I discovered the new version and I was completely caught up! The characterizations, the music and the art - all wow! This my very first anime series I've ever watched (an re-watched) and it took me 50 years to get here. Now I'm in love with this story about teenagers, trauma, the compelling, unshakeable bond with "god" and the realization that all of us carry our own curse, which we have to work through our whole life.

[@joshualewis95707]

I will admit, I prefer the older anime's look better, even if the newer anime has a better flow to the animation. The angular look is more familiar to me than the modern "moe" look of today's anime.

The :look" is apparently one of the things the Manga Author hated the most so eh, chalk that on her.

[@theVOCALOI]

The creator really asked for them to go with the style they're doing because she didn't want them trying to replicate her style.

[@Medachod]

@@theVOCALOI That's garbage. The point of an anime is you're seeing the manga come to life. If it deviates from the original style, that's really dumb. I love Fruits Basket, but the creator sounds very mean. The only thing I agree with them on is that it was disrespectful they made the original anime mostly comical, which is rewriting the material. But otherwise, nothing else was wrong with it.

[@theVOCALOI]

Ok, then you're just not respecting her wishes then. The creator was treated horribly from the 2001 anime, the director disrespected what she wanted them to do and went with what he wanted himself and made the mess that is the original anime. She wants nothing to do with it anymore and if that means telling them to do a bit of a different style then so be it. She isn't mean at all.It's HER creation, SHE's the executive producer. It took us this long to get a reboot because she has trust issues due to studio deen. And if she wants it this way so be it. What you said is just garbage.

[@ctvuniverse4414]

In case you didn't know already.., the author for such original opening passed away a long time ago.

[@everfire45]

I remember reading/hearing somewhere that part of the reason why Natsuki Takaya (the mangaka) didn't like the original series is because the director wanted to turn the series into a full-on comedy (examples being a good chunk of episode 6, the Yuki Fan Club dance, ect.). Additionally, because the director wanted to make the series more comedic, there was a lot of character/story/relationship development that got removed or changed. It ranged from small things being removed like: Momiji being half German and talking in German a lot; to bigger things being changed and removed like: the hat or the valentines day/white day episode where not only was Kagura's reason for coming over different (as well as Kyo's reason for why he eventually gave in to her demands), but major character development was removed for both Kyo and Shigure. I'm actually really excited to see those episodes in the 2019 series and seeing the reaction of the people who only ever saw the original.

[@processesofbecoming2516]

Something that has been great about watching the new show is all the reactions of people who have no previous experience with the material. I, got to watch the anime as a kid, but never read the manga. It’s been so much fun seeing all the different stuff that hasn’t been animated before, or has been told in a slightly different way which I really enjoy. I feel like the show is getting so much love and attention and it’s really really good. I hope that at some point you are able to do a reaction video to how you feel the series is going after it’s done airing in the next few months.

Soul eater need some of dat brotherhood treatment

[@Toucanbird]

Three episodes into the spring season, I will admit that Fruits Basket has been my favorite so far. While I wasn’t as big of a fan of the original as Arkada, it was an alright show...but I REALLY love the creative direction they are taking with the new adaptation. It’s actually an inspiring anime to watch because I love the relationship dynamics between all of them and how they all pick each other up...even though from a personality standpoint, they couldn’t be more polar opposites. One of my favorite parts came in episode three when Tohru said that everyone has their own form of kindness and even though everyone rags on Kyou, she sees the good in him even when no one else does. I think if this anime is successful, I believe other anime studios will have faith in the source material to sell the anime. For the longest time, anime has been used to sell the manga/LN, but in this particular instance, the opposite is happening. I really hope this becomes a new trend because I love anime more than manga as well and I get tired of incomplete anime stories (like Spice + Wolf).

[@YuuKamijo]

From someone who's done a light reading on Furuba over a decade ago, especially on chapters that had alluded to Tohru's mom, I'm quite hopeful that this version is better. Her relationship with Tohru and her surprise influence on the friends of her daughter's lives is one of the charms of the manga. At least for me.

So the brother hood treatment is in reference to fma? Cuz the og was better..

[@CrownedCryptid]

This series has always been in the back of my mind since people compare it to clannad and other similar shows, so I’m glad I finally have a reason to check it out!

[@zorinaii446]

I've been looking forward to this video! When the new adaption was announced, your impression was actually one of the things I was most anticipating to come out of it. I hope you'll give us a review, too! (Also, congratulations on the fiancee! I wish you both happiness.)

[@sandracaraballo9830]

Omg Congrats on your engagement!!

[@mickymcbryan4814]

Fruits Basket was the First Anime I watched and second Manga I read. It's a darling! I love it! Even revisiting the show now it's still good. Most of the shows I like back then I now can't stand but Fruit's Basket and Ouran are the ones that hold up (especially their Eng Dubs.)

[@silverbro13]

A lot of anime need the Brotherhood treatment. Soul Eater, for example.

[@nikeco9820]

Been waiting 11 years on that one my man

[@sweetsherbet13]

Congrats man! Happy for you! 😊

[@lanatherana157]

Aww congrats on your engagement!!

[@horrorkesh]

I do miss the old dubbed intro and outro though otherwise I have really enjoyed the new Fruits Basket

[@asma24]

Me too

[@MM-TheEnd]

Me three! Although there's a scene in 2019 season 1 (I forget which episode) where Tohru and Yuki are washing dishes and Tohru is humming the outro tune from the 2001 Fruits Basket anime.

[@Mehmi888]

you definitely need to read the manga to understand the true differences between the old and new anime. They start of quite similar, but the original anime derailed from the plot of the manga quite quickly. so be prepared to start seeing different scenes in the anime which either seem arranged differently to the old anime or even completely brand new. In the original manga you actually get to see all of the 13 zodiac curses, and Kyo's "cure" isn't nearly as spontaneous and... oddly sequenced as in the original anime.

[@imani7979]

That was my main problem with the original adaptation, the sequence and tone was just....off for me, it didn't feel like the Furuba I'd grown to love through the manga, the score, op and ed were beautiful not gonna lie.

[@anaisoro]

i love that you're going to experience the rest of the story! i hated where the 01 anime ended, there is so much more to the story and i hope you like it!

[@Freddieugo1]

I always like Glass Reflection videos before they even start, and I have never once regretted it!

[@Richard.J.-yq7qe]

Fruit Basket is my #1 Anime to watch this Spring

[@christinetirimon4232]

The reason they adapted it was because it was nothing like the manga. So they wanted to keep this version true to the source. It’s also the reason why the author didn’t really like the old anime adaptation. She couldn’t really help out to much because she became very sick and unable to draw it so it was left up to other people.

[@alyssabertoch8379]

Oh my gosh I love that they added the hat in the reboot. It was such a pivotal part in the manga and I'm so happy that they're giving us hints about it so early in the anime. This is going to be awsome!

[@tirecs04]

Furuba was THE manga that got me to the bookstore whenever TokyoPop released a new volume. I'm so excited for you and all the other anime-only viewers out there! This story will rip your heart out and sew it back together better than ever ✨

[@zhaoyun255]

DMC5: 11 years waiting and fans almost became DEADWEIGHT!!!!! Fruit Basket: "Hold my 18 years fruit basket."

[@JoJoTalksTooMuch]

Hoping this one goes well, I'm loving this show so far!

[@hannahreis8914]

I am so happy that they are redoing this anime!! The manga is REALLY good, but I only know that because the anime inspired me to go personally buy it, special edition, from Barnes and Nobles, when the show ended. I don’t read a lot of manga. Fruits Basket is the only one I’ve ever purchased, and I don’t regret it at all! But this new adaptation feels very true to the original, just because the dub voices - which I didn’t realize were original until you pointed it out - they sounded so used to their role, so comfortable in it, to me, and Now I appreciate the work the old cast is putting back into it now. Can’t wait to see the actual end animated!!

[@killereria9945]

The voice actors got better! i'm looking forward to this! i'm waiting for my kiddo to be born so i can binge watch this in the hospital!

[@nicolebeardsley2215]

They're going towards a more realistic approach. Which kinda saddens me when I think of Ayame's introduction. I loved that it was kind of crazy/goofy and all over the the place. He was one of the main reasons why I loved this show 🤣❤ But I still LOVE this new version. GOSH I CANT WAIT FOR THE SCHOOL PLAY❣

[@imani7979]

I hope that the new adaptation keeps a balance between its comedic and somber moments because Furuba has ALOT of funny moments and characters but I don't want those moments to be overshadowed by the somber elements.

[@Ellygator57]

If you've never read the manga, prepare to be floored! The original story takes some crazy turns and has some specific details that I can tell from the first episode are finally going to get addressed. The story itself is actually very complex and gets really dark, which was totally glossed over in the original adaptation. I dont have a direct translation, but from what I gathered was that the mangaka had very little control over the first anime and has gone on record multiple times expressing how much she HATED it and that she desperately wanted to remake it. I don't blame her. The casting was terrible and the story was just a wash of the original. They completely ignored a major plot line (as well as several smaller ones) for the sake of shortening the series. I am so glad that it is finally getting the reboot it deserves and I am excited to see your reaction to this season since you have no idea what is coming.

[@HeyitsVicc]

I just discovered this anime and discovered and binged the old episodes. I’m excited for what’s to come!

[@imwatchingyouppl1016]

You're the Anime MC GOAT, bruh!!! AWESOME reboot intro, thanks!

Tohru is best girl of 2019

[@blankooy2485]

Since 2001*

[@imani7979]

Ahem too that

[@jochrismax]

Speaking of endings... How about KareKano. Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou or His and Her Circumstances. The ending was kinda meh but I really want it to also get a re-adaptation.

[@yotsubafanfan]

That anime just needs to be redone in general. I'm reading the manga and it breaks my heart to know how much better it would be been if they just listened to the Author. It could be been among the legeondaries like Ouran and Fruits Basket!

[@susanpost.9398]

I watched the old version of the FB anime twice (I forgot I watched it once already) and it made me feel all those feels, those sad feels. The opening and the ending song still have a special place in my heart. I'm so glad that they'll cover the entire story!

[@sophiem6044]

I totally relate with the feelings of nostalgia. Fruits Basket was the first manga I ever read and the first anime I ever watched. It’s what got me into the medium as a whole and it means so much to me! I’m so excited to watch the adaptation and I’m looking forward to seeing the later events of the manga played out on screen, because it gets so good!

[@CupofJoe_93]

You've been a fan for over a decade yet you never bothered picked up the manga??? *how???*

[@ctvuniverse4414]

In his original review for the first anime he didn't seem to like it that much, my guess is that he grew to love it throughout the years and by that point we reached 2019, so.., no time to read the manga. P.S, I'm actually kind of surprised I read it all, given how lazy I tend to be while reading (and manga has freaking pictures):

[@JokeRmakesPie]

I hope they will finish the anime and stay true to the manga. I love Fruits Basket too and hope for the best.

[@cui2260]

SAME !!! I wasn’t expecting that fruits basket was gonna get the “Brotherhood Treatment”. But honestly I’m so happy we get to do it to the end this time.

[@okimura690]

Really hope to see a full review now that the series is done.

[@mechajay3358]

Praise the _"Brotherhood Treatment"_ also _"Read the Dang Manga"_

[@raininess]

Yes to both of that.

[@albertomassa971]

When the KZbin tags are still praising Sarazanmai lol

[@melphina98]

I adore fruits basket so much! I personally am not much of a shoien watcher or manga reader. I stumbled on this by accident because I ran out of things to read and went to Walden book store *RIP Walden's* yea I know am old and they had a small man ga section where I would go and read/buy manga.And the store had a staff suggest table and surprise it actually had a manga on the table. Gasp! Someone actually reads manga beside me? So I picked up a copie and loved it.I shared it with all my friends and family. They got hooked too! My family who didn't understand my "japanimation /comic book craze" .Where now wanting to know when the next book was coming out and made me happy to share what I love with them.this is a classic among all man ga and anime.yes ,the original anime is ruff and less serious then the man ga. But no more or less good in its self.All and all this is a must show or read for all manga or and fans.

[@Dogomatic]

“Fruits Basket is amazing..” thank you. The words from a trusted reviewer of anime like yourself I wanted to hear to commit myself to watching it.

Fruits Basket the manga was so, sooo good. I watched the anime first, and came into the manga not expecting much, but was blown away. Fruits Basket became one of my favorite manga pretty quickly, I'd say top 10... I am so, so, SO glad, that the anime is getting the "Brotherhood" treatment.

Oh fuck, i am going to watch this now, watched this almost 10 years ago and loved it

Like your comment?

[@emmad.8815]

You said it perfectly. I don't know what prompted the producers to make this sort of readaptation from beginning to end when it was so unlikely, but I do know that it's making a lot of people very very happy :) including me

[@girlfoxproduction]

I love how you have Momiji theme in the background
