Fruits Basket (2019): Season One Part One [Blu-ray]

There isnt much to say, it is a popular shoujo anime/manga that was well animated and completed. I have all the collectors edition except this one the part one season one so I missed out on it and this was the only missing blue ray from my collection its ok now I have the full anime set

This anime is a true gem. If you’ve read the manga and loved it, this series is a must-watch. And hey, even if you prefer to skip the manga, that’s alright, because this anime adaption is a great substitute.This updated, remake version of the Fruits Basket anime is a huge improvement from the original 2001 adaption. Beautiful animation, lovely music, a charming and compelling story that is both heartwarming and heartbreaking in equal measures. There is a huge cast of lovable, believable, truly complex characters.This anime, like the manga, can tackle deep and dark subject matter, like familial abuse and growing up an outcast, in a way that very few shows can pull off. It handles these mature topics with grace, in my opinion, in a way that really impacts you. But at the same time, there is something very healing and cathartic about this series that has stuck with me since I first read the manga as a wee middle schooler in 2005.It’s truly the gold standard in the shojo genre. I can sing this show’s praises to kingdom come.The Blu-ray Discs are nicely packaged. I love the colorful, yet simplistic design. It’s simply cute. And I will treasure this show for as long as I can breathe.My one minor criticism comes from a purely logistical standpoint. I want to be blunt: I really dislike this practice in localizing/distributing anime, where one season is split up into two packages that you need to buy separately. I know there is probably a profitable marketing reason for this, but it’s always been irritating to me.I would prefer if they didn’t split up a single season into multiple parts. But I digress. I love this series and it deserves support, so I will be patient and eagerly wait for season two’s Blu-ray releases!

I didn't see this in the reviews or description, but it's important to know. The "Original Japanese Version" Prime Video has Japanese audio and embedded English subtitles. So you cannot control how the subtitles appear on screen but they are there. The item description does not specify this. This is an important note for those that prefer watching with the original Japanese audio and English subtitles (like me).Love this re-make of the series. I watched the original version back when it came out but always felt something was lacking. This new 2019 release is an excellent telling of the manga.

It's really good I've really enjoyed this new version, and the fact that the complete the whole series not just the first arc. Though I will say I did like the original opening song better. And how they did Momiji on the original. Not that this version is all that bad, but the original version of him was better.

I love the box! Except that it came super battered, which really saddened me as I am quite the collector of Fruits basket merch. I hope the second one comes in a much better shape :(I am quite the fan of the old one, but i love the 2019 version nonetheless! Definitely a must have!

I was so excited to hear this shojo anime was available on DVD/Bluray. I was always frustrated with the early 2000's anime because it didn't follow the manga. This version is far more faithful to the manga. The artwork is stunning and beautiful, the music lovely. Looking forward to Season 2.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter, she is a Fruits Basket fan! I was not able to find all the volumes for the books but found the movies instead and made her lifetime!

In English dub and funny characters!

Love this series! Can't wait to get the rest!

Excelente por todo el contenido que tiene la versión más los extras.

This series has been a great part of my high school years and I never thought we would never get a reboot!the new animation is just so beautiful and colorful and I'm so happy that most of the cast from the dub came back for this, as for the product itself the only problem I have was the box for the limited edition getting a little dented in the packaging but other than that everything else is fine ^^Anyways, I'm looking forward to getting the second half of season one and season 2 when it comes out next year

I own the original Fruits Basket anime but what I really enjoy about this updated version is it's fleshing out the story so it's more in line with the manga. Highly recommend this. Makes a great introduction to anime for those new to the genre. The English dub is quite good for those who do not like subtitles.

I like how the story line was told about the misfortunes of Tohru Honda.How she struggles with hers misfortunes of her owe and she tries helps out people with there misfortunes aswell.The stories can relate to us in a many ways in our life as well.
