	Author	Review
United States	Petrana Radulovic Polygon	"'Prelude' still has some traces of what makes Fruits Basket so compelling. But stripped of the magic — both literally and figuratively — it loses what makes it special."	NEU
United Kingdom	Phuong Le The Guardian	"A laboured recap and unsettling romance frustrates a potentially engrossing plot in a coda that might be offputting to newcomers and the fanbase alike (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Hoai-Tran Bui SlashFilm	"Props to Ibata and Kishimoto: they make a loyal adaptation of the story, which is basically ripped from the manga pages — but then again, it's hard to improve upon it. If only the rest of the film lived up to it."	NEU
Canada	Caitlin Chappell CBR	"'Fruits Basket: Prelude' fails to live up to high expectations as the film weighs itself down with too much exposition and lacks a clear focus."	NEU
United States	Caitlin Moore The Daily Dot	"Fruits Basket' has always been a series with some major flaws that were fortunately outshone by its strengths. However, -prelude- focuses on what I have always considered its weakest elements"	NEU
