Does anyone know exactly why the anime for Fruits Basket ended?

To only go up to manga 6 when there are 23 makes me sad, even if the ended the show on a good note. I have always asšumed it was because they made Akito too manly for the gender twist towards the end of the middle of the manga series.

Answer #1

I used to watch them in middle school, I’d sit there and cry over it haha. Ummm I’m not sure why they ended. Maybe they didn’t sell as good as the manga and they didn’t have funds to make more? Or maybe they wanted the manga to be more popular than the anime…

Answer #2

So many possible reasons! To make an anime, you need sponsors. It’s not always easy to get sponsors. That or the series was too long. The singer for the opening and ending died of food poisoning.
