I went to see this a couple days ago, and I loved it. It took me on an emotional roller coaster ride that I don't regret. The story felt real and alive, with the insights by Kyoto and Katsuya, and their blooming relationship. Kyoko's words dig into me like a knife, but it felt real and true. This movie is emotional, but worth the time and emotions spent to watch it.

A must watch movie after watching the anime series. The actual movies starts at around 25 minutes until then it is a recap of the series. A really beautiful movie explaining the relationship between Katsuya Honda and Kyoko Honda.

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.
