Reader’s Question:
I need help! I’ve watched the first two seasons of the anime “Fruits Basket,” but I started watching it on a whim and have been watching it casually. Should I continue to the third season? I’m not very familiar with the series, so I’m not sure if there are
only three seasons or if there’s more.
Should You Continue Watching “Fruits Basket”? My Thoughts
Hey there! I saw your question about whether to dive into the third season of “Fruits Basket,” and I just had to share my perspective. First off, let me just say that I completely understand the dilemma. I recently found myself in a similar situation with a different anime, and it definitely sparked some introspection about how we choose what to watch. Now, to address your concern: Yes, there is indeed a third season, but it also sounds like you’re getting mixed up with “Fruits Basket -prelude-,” which follows the first two seasons. This is a crucial piece of the narrative puzzle if you’ve enjoyed the emotional rollercoaster that the first two seasons have given you. I remember when I first started watching “Fruits Basket.” It was during a particularly stressful week at school, and I was looking for a distraction. I didn’t think much of it at first, but boy, was I in for a surprise! The character dynamics, especially between Tohru and the Sohma family, made me laugh, cry, and reflect on my own relationships. The humor is so relatable—like that time Kyo accidentally landed himself in a hilarious situation, and I found myself laughing out loud in the middle of a quiet café. Everyone stared, but it was worth it! As for “Fruits Basket -prelude-,” I found it to be a beautiful bridge that enhances the emotional depth of the series. It’s like that perfect dessert after a delightful meal; it wraps everything up nicely and leaves you with a sense of fulfillment. Even if it’s just three episodes long, it holds significant value and will likely resonate with you if you’re invested in the characters. In my opinion, if you enjoyed the first two seasons, the third season and the prelude are absolutely worth your time. They bring closure to the arcs you’ve come to care about and allow you to witness the characters’ growth in a profound way. Plus, who doesn’t love a good character development moment? So, if you find yourself with a bit of time and a snack (I always grab too many chips when I binge-watch), I say go for it! You won’t regret it. And hey, if you do start watching the third season or the prelude, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it! What moments stood out to you? Did you have any funny reactions, or did it touch you in unexpected ways? Feel free to share your experiences or any other anime recommendations you might have in the comments! Happy watching!
