Akitaro Daichi and Natsuki Takaya

[edit]

Has there been other sources about their creative differences (including interviews where Takaya has explicitly stated she did not want a second season)? The only one I found was this post by the founder of Anime News Network, Justin Sevakis: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2//viewtopic.php?p=993823#993823 However, I was hoping a better source would be supplied. lullabying (talk) 00:25, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In regard to my edit in which I removed this from the article, here is an image of Animage USA April 2006 that confirms what I was saying (this person is a friend of my friend). Whether Sevakis' story is true or not is not confirmable, as I mentioned in the edit. Sarcataclysmal (talk) 04:46, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sohma, not Soma

[edit]

Per recent edits, I'm gonna go ahead and place a hidden comment in the lead specifying that the last name here is Sohma, not Soma. Not only is that the romanisation in the actual English-language editions of the manga, but a brief look at the sources used throughout this article show them using Sohma, not Soma.--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 14:19, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of reverse harem category

[edit]

I really don't think this series fits within the "Category:Male harem anime and manga" category, and am planning to remove it. I understand that the page has sources for the category, but they only contain a brief one-sentence mention of Fruits Basket being a harem, without any elaboration. I believe this misunderstanding is summed up well in this article:

https://www.slashfilm.com/573302/the-quarantine-stream-fruits-basket/ "The idea of several hot men who transform into cute animals living under the same roof of a naive girl has led many to miscategorize Fruits Basket as a reverse harem anime — a trope that describes a fluffy romance between one girl and her many varied suitors."

Labeling it as a harem is drawn more from the synopsis of the series than its actual content. The series' cast is actually very gender-balanced, not comprised of a majority male cast, and the large cast of characters (both male and female) are not presented as romantic interests for the main character (unlike the anime series Clannad for example where the main character has at least 4 romantic interests). There doesn't seem to be much reasoning for why Fruits Basket should be considered a reverse-harem. Wiki-o-media (talk) 02:51, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
