Fruits Basket is one of those offerings that is pink on the outside and black on the inside. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Danae Stahlnecker Common Sense Media 09/26/2023

There are some very of-its-era issues, but overall, I really found myself emotionally moved by it. Definitely worth your time. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kyle T Mar 8 Best anime I've seen! Love the mangas too but, this is an absolute must see! See more 03/23/2020 I love everything about this show, and can hardly wait for season two! One of many reasons I love it so much is that it is pretty unpredictable. (For me, anyway) it's nearly impossible to figure out what will happen next, or how something will end. AHH I love it so much!! Also, if you're into shipping characters, than this show will pose a bit of a challenge for you. It took me awhile to pick which I loved more: either Yuki or Kyo with Tohru. I definitely picked by the end of season one, though. :) See more Read all reviews
