I had intentionally wanted to combine the review for these episodes with my previous article but, in the end, I chose to separate them to reduce it from being too lengthy. Besides, I wanted to give enough time to analyze these two particular episodes because there is so much to unpack from them! Episode 16: Talking to the Moon Tohru: [in tearful thoughts after telling … Continue reading Fruits Basket (2019) S2, Ep. 16-17

Oh man, the buildup to this moment of the story was spectacular. It was really smart how these episodes were a smooth transition to each other compared to the 2001 anime. I like it 🙂 There’s so much for me to talk about in these two episodes so let’s get started shall we? 🙂 Episode 23: What Matters the Most Okay, there are multiple elements … Continue reading Fruits Basket (2019) Ep. 23-24 Review
Hello everyone! I’m going to make this blog short and simple for the first two episode reviews? Why, you might ask? Well, I would say that the contents featured in Ep. 20 and 21 were very much similar to that of the 2001 anime version, with only a minor few changes to improve the flow of the story and the character designs. The episode that … Continue reading Fruits Basket (2019) Ep. 20-22 Review
LOL this episode was such a joyride! Gotta hand it to Mike McFarland for returning and excelling in his role as Ritsu in this anime reboot.

I love the added depth in this episode compared to the 2001 series 🙂 It makes the lesson learned from this episode even more special! Let’s have a conversation, shall we? 🙂 Viewers are now introduced to another member of the Sohma family–the adorable, timid Tiger Kisa. I honestly thought that Natsuki Takaya-sensei choosing to have Kisa face this problem of feeling weak, compared to … Continue reading Fruits Basket (2019) Ep. 18: Eye of the Tiger
Hello everyone! I intentionally combined my review for Episodes 16 and 17 together since they both cover the same topic: Uo! This particular moment in the manga was never animated before so it’s really refreshing to see these episodes play out! 🙂 Besides, I felt like Uo never got this much attention in the 2001 anime series compared to Hana. But times are changing and … Continue reading Fruits Basket (2019) Ep. 16-17: Uo’s Spotlight
Okay, this was more of a Hatori episode and I loved it ♥ But before I delve into his moment throughout this episode, I at least have to cover the content between Yuki, Kyo, and Tohru!

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW ADORABLE TOHRU’S OUTFIT IS??? … Continue reading Fruits Basket (2019) Ep. 15: Looking Towards the Future
Two years ago, when I started rereading the manga for the third time, I remembered when I read the scene featured above, I was like “Man, I wished the 2001 anime had this scene just because it has such deep foreshadowing.” And this thought came across my mind without knowing that Fruits Basket would have a reboot series. And two years later, my wish came … Continue reading Fruits Basket (2019) Ep. 14: The Plot Thickens
