Despite its beautiful animation and excellent voice acting, it did a disservice to many of its well-rounded characters, most notably Tohru Honda.In the original, Tohru was reduced to an airhead: clumsy, endlessly people-pleasing, and constantly talking about her mother. But the 2019 remake finally gives her the depth she deserves. We see her trauma. We see her grow. We see her learn to stand up for herself and build a life of her own — and that same depth extends to other characters across the series.</p><p><br></p><p>Join us as we explore Tohru Honda's growth, what we can learn from her, and why Fruits Basket is peak anime rooted in mental health lessons.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Trigger Warnings: There are talks of parental neglect, grooming, abuse of a variety of kinds, and trauma. If these are things that are sensitive to you, then please check out our other episodes for a lighter tone.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>►CHECK OUT OUR PARTNER!&nbsp;</p><p>@scopeproductions</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8KjLvvlwzGCVgwXN1JuZMQ&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>►BECOME A PATRON</p><p>https://www.patreon.com/cw/MelaninMusesPodcast&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>►BUY US COFFEE</p><p>https://ko-fi.com/melaninmusespodcast</p><p><br></p><p>►SOCIAL MEDIA</p><p>▸Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melaninmusespodcast</p><p>▸Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melaninmusespodcast/&nbsp;</p><p>▸Facebook:&nbsp;https://www.facebook.com/melaninmusespodcast&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>►CONTACT US</p><p>melaninmusespodcast@gmail.com&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>►OTHER FUN THINGS</p><p>https://linktr.ee/melaninmusespodcast</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>This video falls under the Copyright Act of Canada to create the fair dealing exception to copyright.
