The original anime series that tells the same story aired from July 5, 2001 to December 27, 2001 and has 26 episodes in total. Akitaro Daichi served as the director and Higuchi Tachibana performed scripting duties. Funimation has the North American license and Studio Deen is behind the animation. This new anime series is retelling the original story because the author was not thrilled about the changes the original anime series did.
After a family tragedy turns her life upside down, 16-year-old high schooler Tooru Honda takes matters into her own hands and moves out...into a tent! Unfortunately for her, she pitches her new home on private land belonging to the mysterious Souma clan, and it isn't long before the owners discover her secret. But, as Tooru quickly finds out when the family offers to take her in, the Soumas have a secret of their own--when hugged by the opposite sex, they turn into the animals of the Chinese Zodiac!
Fruits Basket is out on April 2019
