Tears flowed vigorously during the final episode of Fruits Basket The Final Season, happy tears, but tears nonetheless. The creator of the Fruits Basket manga, alongside the TV anime staff, celebrated the ending of the series by thanking fans and releasing some heartwarming illustrations, with the staff of the anime series creating a video showcasing their shikishi and the time we spent with the Somas.
First up, creator Natsuki Takaya drew an image of Tohru and Kyo before the episode began, then drawing an illustration of God afterward.

Then, just as the final episode finished, the staff released a 6-minute video looking back at the series with their illustrations on shikishi boards spread out through the video.
Right after the final episode aired, it was revealed that the Fruits Basket universe will expand in the prequel TV anime series Kyoko to Katsuya no Monogatari (which translates literally to Kyoko and Katsuya's Story), as well as the original story getting a stage play. Both new projects are set to premiere in 2022.
The entire three seasons of Fruits Basket are streaming right now on Crunchyroll, which describes the series as such:
Tohru Honda thought her life was headed for misfortune when a family tragedy left her living in a tent. When her small home is discovered by the mysterious Soma clan, she suddenly finds herself living with Yuki, Kyo, and Shigure Soma. But she quickly learns their family has a bizarre secret of their own: when hugged by the opposite sex, they turn into the animals of the Zodiac!
