The details of character's emotions—the disparity between Tohru's private emotions and her public front, the punishing intensity of Kyo's feelings for Tohru—are not only discernable but tangible, all without a word being spoken. — Carl Kimlinger, Anime News Network[112] In Manga: The Complete Guide, Jason Thompson gave the manga three and a half out of four stars. While finding the series to be "surprisingly sad" and
praising the well-defined characters, he felt the series was "neither particularly well drawn nor incredibly witty". As a whole, he considered it "a fascinating manga, like a sweet, melancholy dream. "[115] A factor in the success of
Fruits Basket in English-speaking countries was that the books were being sold in bookstores, rather than comic book shops, which are considered to be a predominantly male domain. [116] Anime[edit] The first Fruits Basket
anime adaptation has also been well received, ranking third in Anihabara's list of top televised anime series in Japan for February 2002. [117] In the June 2002 issue of Animage magazine, the series was first in a list of the best twenty anime series in Japan. [118] In 2001, the Fruits Basket anime won an Animage's Anime Grand Prix award. [citation needed] In 2006, five years after the series finished airing in Japan, it was 93rd in TV Asahi's list of Japan's 100 favorite animated TV series. [119] Animerica reviewers felt the anime adaptation was similar to Ranma 1⁄2 in terms of premise and its
using a similar musical score. Julie Davis found the characters to be "superficially pretty" and "so-clean-they-look-almost-like-paper-cutouts" with "really, really gigantic eyes", though she notes that the animal alter forms of the zodiac members were "cute and cuddly".
