We all know that "Fruit Basket" is a cartoon created by Natsuki Takaya, which mainly tells that high school student Honda Tou lived a tent life alone after losing his only relative's mother. However, the place where Touanza pitched his tent happened to be within the territory of the historical family "Soma Family"! At the invitation of Cao Mo Zi Wu, Tou, who became a servant in Soma, had to live with Souma Yuki, who was like a prince in school, and Souma Kyo, who regarded Yuxi as a thorn in his side. However, Tou is still unknown. The fact that the Soma family has been bound by taboo curses since hundreds of years ago ...
Such cartoons should have achieved good results, so why is there no complete animation?
First, the value of "Fruit Basket"
What is the most indispensable thing in the Japanese cartoon industry is cartoonists and various cartoons. Although it can't be said that the theme of Fruit Basket is not novel and doesn't attract people's attention, in Japan, a country where comics originated, it is really difficult to have a certain position and the opportunity for comics to be adapted into animation if your works have no certain value.
Second, the audience of Fruit Basket
Judging from the contents and types of Fruit Basket, it belongs to campus romance. From its name, it gives people the feeling that it is a child's enlightenment film, which completely lowers people's desire for it. If it is adapted into animation, its audience may be ordinary students, not the masses, which is a reason to be measured.
Third, funds
As the saying goes, soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. "Fruit Basket" certainly wants to be made into a complete animation, but it also needs a lot of investment in the early stage and the filling of funds in the later stage. If there is no financial support, how can we make a lovely animation?
