This is why, instead of a second season, the petition asks for an entire reboot of the anime series. In order to give the season some air of finality where there wasn't in the manga, the anime's storyline veered off course from the manga's in a way that made it very difficult to actually finish the anime the way the manga intended to end. This would have been alright, had the series continued after the first season.Ĭlearly, this is not the case.

At the time the anime aired in Japan, only 8 (out of the 23) volumes were released. Some of the intricate characterization is changed in the anime, partly due to purposeful change and also because the manga was incomplete at the time of animation. The anime adaptation loosely follows the manga, and only covers about a third of the manga. However, most can contend to the notion that the anime feels incomplete. Similarly a classic, the anime adaptation was a major success and still touches the hearts of people to this day. The 2001 anime ran for one season, a total of 26 episodes, and was released in English from 2002-2003. Praised for its intellectual story, incredible character development, and beautiful artwork, the Fruits Basket manga holds up to this day, recently celebrating a 20 year anniversary with the release of collector's editions of the manga. The original manga, which ran from 1998 to 2006, is considered a shoujo classic and was received with critical acclaim. In 2001, an anime adaptation of Natsuki Takaya's manga series Fruits Basket was aired.
