* Tohru confronting Kyo's true form. While this scene is also in the anime, the manga version of it is more awesome in the fact that Tohru never went into a depressed state before Arisa and Uotani got her out of the funk and she never had Yuki's aid in confronting him. At the point where Tohru has to put up with the wretched stench coming from Kyo's form, which has made her vomit and all, she still pressed on and eventually caught up with him on her own. She also was able to calm him down despite the fear she had of confronting his true form and withstanding the pain of getting slashed in her shoulder when a distraught Kyo attempted to drive her away. A notable case of BadassPacifist.

Added DiffLines:

** Then, when Akito starts punching him, Tohru herself intervenes, demanding that she stop and interposing herself between Akito and Momiji. Usually she's almost constitutionally incapable of asserting herself, but when it comes to a situation like this she doesn't so much as hesitate.

* In the backstory, we have Katsuya [[BigDamnHeroes saving Kyouko]] when [[IHaveNoSon she's thrown out of her home]] by her AbusiveParents. He had come to ask the Katsunumas for permission to marry her, walks on them kicking their BrokenBird daughter out as corollary for all of their abuse -- and [[TranquilFury he calmly gives them]] [[WhatTheHellHero a very well-placed verbal lashing]] before he offers Kyouko a place to call "home".

* The ''Fruits Basket Radio Drama'' by WebVideo/JesuOtaku. His "Summer Project" of 2011, it's a wonderfully voiced, expressive piece that Jacob should be proud of forever.
* The fact that a brand new anime is happening at all. After the CreativeDifferences problems haunted the original anime, most people assumed the series would never be touched in anime form again. Now it will be readapted to follow the manga.
* Creator/FUNimation was able to have Creator/LauraBailey reprise her role as Tohru for the new series.[[note]]The reason this is special is because she's now a union voice actress, who rarely, if ever does anime work. She did post a tweet of her in the booth to commemorate it.[[/note]]

* What this troper always thought was a subtly awesome thing was that Hiro's parents ''genuinely'' love him very much. We have seen the Sohma family suffer so much from their parents that it's so refreshing to see at least one example that Sohmas don't make terrible parents!

** Not to put down Meshou's awesomeness, but what I always found amazing was that Hiro's parents did not get traumatized at all. She did not shun her son nor did she become overly protective. Satsuki is still very happy despite all the problems that inherently come from having a child possessed by the zodiacs (let alone Hiro's...[[BrattyHalfPint unyielding personality]]). The crazy thing? ''She never hesitated.'' She didn't care that Hiro was a sheep at all. Even the other zodiacs couldn't help but call her an amazing mother.

* Similarly, Kisa standing up to Hiro after he was InnocentlyInsensitive to Tohru and stood by what he said. Only then does he feel remorse about once again letting Kisa down. For someone who was BulliedIntoDepression not too long ago, the young Tiger can unsheathe her claws verbally when she needs to.

Only then does he feel remorse about once again letting Kisa down and realizing despite being kind, Tohru has some feelings deep down.

* When the Prince Yuki Fan Club went to Saki’s house hoping to find her weakness so they can use it against her. Saki admit she knew the true reason they came. The Prince Yuki tried to justified their hatred toward Tohru and claiming how she’s acting like Yuki belongs to her instead of them. Saki’s brother Megumi give them a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech saying how love isn’t a an excuse for their behavior. They can’t just force their feelings onto Yuki and take away his friends because he will come to hate them. Saying how love can be a blessing and curse at the same time and how love is putting someone else’s feelings before their own. For a young kid, those are wise words.
