Fruits Basket: Prelude

The prequel movie about the Honda couple was emotional, romantic and leaves a lasting impression along with the flashback scenes of Tohru and Kyoko.

The story of Katsuya and Ryoko was heartfelt, and quite romantic. The animation was solid and on par with the prior season's quality.

Fruits Basket - Prelude - did get me to tear up twice. It hit all the emotional notes as the original, and Kyoko's story in retrospect to nearly all other characters is truly one where you can't help but root for her. It also made me reflect on my own ways of expressing grief, and when a film can get you to do that I think that's something special.

Overall, the film is an excellent way to preserve the story of Kyoko and Katsuya. For long term fans of Fruits Basket, this is just a cherry on the cake.

My Rating : 10/10.
