1. Fruits Basket 2019
Aired: Apr 6, 2019Genres: Slice of Life, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Fantasy, Shoujo
A full 18 years after it originally aired, Fruits Basket is finally getting a much-needed reboot. It tells the story of teenage Tohru Honda, who moves into a house owned by the Sohma family, who seem normal at first, only to reveal that they can transform into the animals of the Zodiac. And when they’re hugged by the opposite sex, they’re most likely to become those animals. With Tohru, as the only woman in the house, hijinks ensued. But what made Fruits Basket truly great was how it balanced that comedy with some seriously dark tragedy.
The story of Tohru Honda's encounter with the enigmatic Sohma family was never fully adopted - the original anime only covered the first few volumes of Natsuki Takaya's original manga, making some significant changes to the end. The reboot will follow the dramatic shojo manga more closely, introduce new characters, and provide further insight into the existing characters' backstories.
