Fruit Basket Prelude

Genre: Drama, Romance, Shojo

Studio: TMS Entertainment

Date: Winter 2022

Heads up, this movie starts out with scenes from the last fruit basket season and then goes back to the prelude of the movie. I recommend only watching it if you have finished the Fruit Baskets (2019) season 3. 

Movie Trailer:

Summary:

Despite Kyouko Honda's tragic death, her vivid memory lives on, providing guidance through times of hardship to her close ones. However, Kyouko was not always the wise and radiant person she is fondly remembered as in the present day.

Feeling deserted by her own family and rejected by society, a young Kyouko abandons stability for a life of delinquency, jeopardizing her education and future. Fortunately, her descent into despair is interrupted by a fateful encounter with her husband-to-be, Katsuya, who has recently started his teaching internship at her school.

With a composure surprisingly unaffected by Kyouko's tantrums, Katsuya quickly wins her over through his gentleness and attention toward her—sincere gestures she has never received. As the two grow closer, Kyouko opens her tormented heart to him and, along with it, a door to new horizons.

My Opinion:

I loved this movie. I finally was able to find the time to watch it. The prelude I thought was well executed. The character's development as you watch was great. At times, it felt a little fast-paced, but then I would remind myself that it was a movie. I watched the movie dubbed because I heard there was an amazing voice actor in it. When you watch it or if you have watched the dubbed, you will understand. To  Omg, the voice and how the character looks were spot on. I'm glad it worked out the way it did.  When you watch the movie, make sure to have tissues just in case.  It's such a great movie can't express it enough. I highly recommend watching in dubbed as well.
