posted on by Andrew Osmond
The English dub of the Fruits Basket -prelude- anime film will be screened at UK cinemas on Wednesday July 20 and Thursday July 21. Venues and tickets are available at https://www.fruitsbasketthemovie.co.uk/.
The film's returning English dub cast members include Lydia Mackay as Kyoko Honda, J. Michael Tatum as Katsuya Honda, Laura Bailey as Tohru Honda, and Jerry Jewell as Kyo Soma.
Aside from a digest compilation of the series, the film includes the Kyо̄ko to Katsuya no Monogatari (Kyо̄ko and Katsuya's Story) anime that centers on the backstory of Tohru's parents Kyoko and Katsuya, which the 2019-2021 series did not adapt. The film also includes new scenes — written specifically for the film by original manga creator Takaya — depicting events from after the television anime's story. Additionally, filmgoers from February 18 to March 4 received a 20-page booklet with a 16-page epilogue manga story newly created by Takaya.
Ōhashi Trio performed the film's theme song "Niji to Kaito" (Rainbow and Kite).
