Spoiler Time Sunday: The Thing About Furuba is

The thing about Furuba is that you still watch/read it despite all these plots twists and pains…

Hi, dearies!

Welcome back to a Spoiler Time Sunday, which already has multiple entries, in case you want to spoil your fun or just know more about a favourite book, anime, show.

This Sunday will be for Furuba or Fruits Basket, which became a favourite of mine after watching about three episodes of the 2019 Anime Version of the manga, I was hooked, I was sold after the first episode even. The intro, I was there, in it.

Now, you see I am a fan of it, I like it. But I am a realistic person, and I know that if you look to close into things (shows, stories, character’s background) then you really get like: wow, seriously? Is that truly how it is?

So, today, I am doing that with Furuba because I enjoy rambling about these random things.

First off, this is my warning, there are spoilers as per the whole point of this blog post, spoilers ahead, this is my warning.

2023: What Did I watch this Year?

Hello, dearies!💙

The year is coming to an end. 2024 is around the corner.

What did I watch this year? Surprisingly, I feel like I watched more things this year than the last.

I’ll dive right into it… this one will be short.

What I Watched in 2023

Bubble (Anime Movie)

My year started good with this one.

Wednesday (TV Show)

Alright, I caved and watched Wednesday. And yes, it was good.

THG: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snake (Movie)

I think my expectations were high, even when I knew they shouldn’t be.

Memories of the Alhambra

Always nice to see Park Shin-Hye, she’s pretty.

Fruits Basket (2019)

The amount of time I spent and will spent in the future re-watching Fruits Basket, it’s not normal. I loved the story even when it’s so dramatic and traumatic. And the characters are awesome, too.

Fruits Basket (2001)

I just wanted it to be over. It was a complete disaster, and so different from the Manga, specially how they wrapped it up.

Jujutsu Kaisen

It’s been a ride to watch and continue to watch every week.

Love Again (Movie)

Sigh.

Disenchanted

Yes, I’m aware this movie is from last year but I hadn’t watched it.

Hocus Pocus 2

Very aware that it took me a year to watch, yes.

Shingeki No Kyojin

I almost forgot AOT the final episodes, or however it is styled. The final chapters of Attack on Titan. It was very hard to watch, and at the same time very moving.

  • Buddy Daddies (Anime)

Friday Flashback: Fruits Basket (2001)

Prepare for some serious ranting.

Fruits Basket (Anime 2001)

Where can I watch it? On Crunchyroll.

Hello, dearies! 🐾

I recently, barely, finished watching Fruits Basket’s original anime (or I would say the crazy 2001 version).

This anime makes no sense.

I’ll jump right into this one. Expect some rambling ahead, and some spoilers if you don’t know about Fruits Basket.

Fruits Basket – Manga Review… sort of

The anime sent me on this path… and it was worth it. 😍

Title: Fruits Basket

 (フルーツバスケット, Furūtsu Basuketto) also abbreviated as Furuba or Fruba (フルバ)

Author: Natsuki Takaya

Genres: Fantasy, romantic comedy, slice of life

Original date: July 1998 – November 2006

In 2015, it began the Fruits Basket: Collector’s Edition (愛蔵版 フルーツバスケット) where 2 volumes were compiled into one. Same story. But there are now 12 volumes.

Hello, dearies! 🎆🎐

Welcome to a new rambling about a Manga. I finished Fruits Basket this month, and found it quite interesting.

What shocked me the most about reading and finishing the Manga was that I knew where it was going because I’d watched the anime (2019 version), but I was still into it, it didn’t feel like a repeat, but at the same, it was a sort of comfort read, I don’t know if you know what I mean, but it was nice. And I liked it of course.

Fruits Basket – Anime

This new adaptation of Fruits Basket was announced in November, and aired on April 6th, 2019.

Title: Fruits Basket (フルーツバスケット, Furūtsu Basuketto)

Where to watch? Crunchyroll

Original run: April 6th, 2019 – June 28th, 2021

Hello, dearies! 🐱🍙

Let’s talk Fruits Basket! If you haven’t heard of this anime or manga before, I recommend it. Also known as フルーツバスケット, Furūtsu Basuketto. You can watch it on Crunchyroll and FunimationNow.

Before starting on this one, I’d like to clarify that this is about the anime of 2019 (essentially a reboot). I haven’t watched the original anime (I didn’t know there was one) from 2001, though that one has fewer episodes, and I think they changed the story from the Manga.
