came back here because i'm rewatching the 2019 remake and wow, how much i love this series. also here to re-bookmark as my old bookmarks are from previous sites that no longer exist lol
man i love this series. i hate that people who don't watch this assume that it's just a normal romance. man watching the anime, 7 ep in and they're already retelling to you the horrible cycle of abuse they go through.
this has been one of my all time favorite animanga series because while you can tell it's dated from the art style and the jokes, one of the most timeless parts of the series is the message. it's a story about perseverance, hope, and truly unconditional love.
one of my favorite moments is still the day we found out about momiji's mom. i'm a little blurry on the manga [because honestly i just love to keep revisiting to see my fav moments later on in the series], but in the original dub of the 2001 anime adaption, i love the way they phrased the words. Momiji tells us that carrying all of these memories, good or painful, they're really heavy. But one day, if we keep carrying them, someday we'll be strong enough to continue like they weigh nothing. He doesn't want to forget any of his memories even when they're painful.
it's moments like that, that make me love fruits basket even despite the flaws [aka the pedos]. it's a series that is full to brim about what it means to be human, what it means to love others, and above all, be kind to yourself.
fruits basket is one of the most painful series that I love and it holds such a dear place in my heart. when nonreaders or nonwatchers ask me what it is about, I find myself struggling to put it into words because fruits basket can't be dumbed down. i can only explain it when talking about specific characters and their stories. they are all trapped in a cycle of generational abuse that they can't seem to escape from, until Tohru, an outsider, forces them to look at their reality and how unsustainable it is. How fucked up their lives are.
