Any negative comments for the sake of being negative towards the voice actors rather than actual critique of their performances will be deleted. Period.

I love how Laura came back to voice Tohru, 18 years later after abandoning so many other roles. She lost her Lucina, Rise, and her Kid Trunks, but she came back for Tohru It shows how much she does love this series

Honestly the current dub works so well for the more emotional theme

Glad to see dub gets better overtime because I love watching dub

What did Jerry Jewell sacrifice for his voice to have eternal youth?

I was very glad to see they got the original cast back to reprise their roles.

The only voice for me that took me time to adjust to was momiji . The rest of the voices I pretty much liked right away.

Underrated improvement: Hatori sounds so much better in the reboot, and a good deal less unsettling.

I didn't realize that they had so many of the original voice actors. I knew that Tohru, Kyo, Yuki and Shigure were the same but the others were a pleasent surprise. Kisa's VA was a huge transformation. XD

I didn't notice how well and improved the new dub is compared to the 2001 version. The VA's have improved yes but i also think its the advancement in audio recording technology. Before its just sounded a bit muffled.

HOW DOES KISA'S VOICE ACTOR SOUND YOUNGER!!?😂

3:10 - 3:24 had me laughing, because it looks like Ayame is talking to himself. XD

I feel like the one who improved them most was Eric. He was great before but I like that this time he didn't go as soft with Yuki's voice. And he's doing an amazing job at the time when sassy Yuki comes out to play.

I think that Kisa definitely sounds like a real 11 year old in the 2001 version. She sounds more like an anime child in the 2019 versions. :)

I always found Laura's voice with a charm to Tohru, but I can admit that it sounded off back in 2001, but she really improved greatly for 2019.

WAIT. HOLD ON A FREAKING SECOND. AYAME WAS VOICED BY THE SAME GUY WHO DID VEGETA?!!! WTF WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE THIS BEFORE

Love how almost all of the cast reprised their roles for the remake, just shows they really care about the anime and want to do justice towards the original and even improve it.

I like Tohrus voice in the original more now it sounds like they try to make her sound “cute”

the pronunciation of the characters names definitely improved, and you can tell how much the voice actors improved over time

I haven't seen the original anime in so long but they have all improved SO much and I am extremely happy with the DUB! I know a lot of people don't like DUB or the original Furuba DUB but besides growing up with these voices, I also feel in general most of them truly suit them and it's so wonderful that they have gotten better too! It's funny because most of the voices sound very 90's along with of course the quality in the recordings of the voices sounding old in the original. But I feel a lot of them got better and in general the voices work better now since it's rebooted and closer to the manga story. As Malyutka said "the current dub works so well for the more emotional theme".

I love how much better the pronunciations of the names have gotten with the reboot. 2001 be like "TOW-ROO"

I love the original dub 😭 the way Tohru's voice cracks, Kyo's tone and Yuki's coldness was so perfect in itself 😭❤ As a part of my childhood that was never really completed (as in they didnt animate as far as they did w the new ver) I feel really happy to see the original VA's come back 💖

4:39 LMAO WHY ARENT WE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE NO TURNED INTO A YES-

I swear with every moment with yuki in the 2001 version I had to put the volume up because the music would be louder than him

Everyone in the original series all seemed to have monotone voice acting. It's amazing to see how much they all have improved over time.

This was amazing! Thanks for comparing the dub voices. When you hear them side by side you can really tell how much the voice actors have improved. FruBa has one of the best dubs ever, and the fact they brought so many of the original cast shows just how unique and special this series really is to everyone involved 😊💕

Haru breaking fourth wall. Its awesome in both versions

"Uhh, no" "Uhhhh.... yes" *lmao* aaah I was wondering if Mitsu was the same actress!! and omg Makoto's the same too?? and I'm yelling that Ritsu's, Kyo's, and Momiji's moms are the same too adsdfgdfgdfg I knew Tohru and the Zodiacs were but not them

Theres so much more inflections and feeling in their words in the new series. I noticed it immediately when I started the reboot. The old one was so monotone and Yuki especiallyyyyyy was so quiet and breathy and annoying. The new take on his voice is so much more natural feeling, though it's still noticeable when he yells.

I feel like the dub just expresses the emotions better now that the voice actors are more experienced

I can’t believe they got almost every single voice back. I was expecting one or two when the show was announced, but they outdid themselves. When they put that much effort into it before the show even starts that’s how you know the dub’s quality.

Honestly, I think Eric Vale had the biggest improvement! His voice for Yuki sounds much more natural/relaxed, while still fitting the image of the character Yuki so well! As for the cast overall, they've all done a greta job! Absolutely thrilled with all their work for this reboot!

I love Chris Sabat as Ayame especially the newer version. Everytime I hear his voice I giggle😆

istg I normally dont watch dubs but OHSHC and Fruits Basket breaks that rule. Kisa's voice got cuter.

.... the original dub voice of Kisa was 11!?!?

Fruits Basket 2019 cast changes from 2001: Akito Soma- Colleen Clinkenbeard(Erza Scarlet, Monkey D. Luffy, Riza Hawkeye) Momiji Soma- Mikaela Krantz(Misaki Shokuho, Clementine, Chio Miyamo) Hiro Soma- Luci Christian(Nami, Nagisa Furukawa, Ochaco Uraraka) Kagura Soma- Tia Ballard(Happy, Zero Two, Mizore Shirayuki) Arisa Uotani- Elizabeth Maxwell(Albedo, Midnight, Caulifla) Saki Hanajima- Jad Saxton(Koneko Tojo, Carla, Akatsuki)

I love how they gave Momiji's mom a German accent, considering that she is German.

The timing of the lines are so much better too. In addition to the actors, the ADR and dub script team did a great job of making the lines feel more natural.

I think all of the voice actors have grown so much! For Kisa's voice actress quite a lot! Actually, I think they should have given that part to a little girl like that did in the original. But it's also sweet they asked Kisa's voice actress to come back too :)

No highschool girls scene? Aw man, missing out on my boi Shigure's greatest scene lol

Sound quality has also changed over time

I looks tohrus old voice better, she sounded more mature and nurturing. I know its the same VA but it still sounds different

Wow so much better now! I love sub and dub. It is not only the intonation, pronunciation and emotion, even the dialogue is so much better. And how Kisa voice looks even younger now that she's older!?!?

I like the fact that a majority of the original voice cast returned for the remake. You can see how much better they've gotten over the years. Not that the 2000's version is bad, a lot of anime in the 90's and early 2000's were all about the same when it came to dub VA quality.

Omg I forgot how much Julia went off in the 2001 version 😂.

I know this is a dub comparison but the animation has also improved so much! Not only is there much more movement, but there's also much more detail. It makes sense, as animation has moved forward since the original was made, but it's still cool to see when directly comparing them

Arron Dismuke was 9 years old for the 2002 one, how crazy and he actually appears in the 2019 one

i think i have a big bias towards the 2001 because it’s so nostalgic for me, but i can definitely hear the improvement in a lot of their performances

Fun Fact: The author of Fruits Basket hated the 1st adaptation of the anime.

All I hear is Kirishima when Hatsuharu is on screen

I'm so happy that the V/As are the same ;;;;---;;;; i grew up on the dubs and they're the only dub i tolerate now. Modern dubs ain't it for me usually.

I love the old version so much more, voicewise. Like, how they expressed their characters! They brought so much life to them, at least going by this comparison. But, it's great that they've expanded and revised it! So I'm excited!

I love the original anime because it was so monumental for me. That being said, it was serious at the wrong times and funny at the wrong time. I could see why it would have been difficult to continue the series because it left out so many important aspects of the characters and what they contribute to the plot

I know some people say that Yuki's voice sounds too old but I personally love it. I think it adds more character to him, especially his snarky and sassy moments. His calm and quiet demeanor acts as a nice foil to contrast Kyo's loud, brash voice. Speaking of Kyo, I think Jerry really upgraded the tonality of his character. He manages to sound kind of angry with every line, even when Kyo is trying to be nice. I think it shows Kyo's "awkward kindness" a bit better.

This shows the drastic difference and improvement so well! I knew there was a difference but this made it all the more clear. I love them all!

It makes me happy to hear how many actors actually reprised their roles and it’s amazing to see the growth 🥰

Honestly this was definitely one of the things I loved about the remaster. Was that they brought back all their original voice actors. That’s why I still kept continuing to watch them in English dub. I did watch some in Japanese cuz the English takes forever. Then I got patient and the season 2 dub finally finished LOL. I wanna keep watching in English it’s great.

Omg Kate's improvement had me shook--! I mean everyone did but i think Kisa'a Va is wow

I like tohru’s voice then, right know it sounds like they’re trying to make her sound cute

This came out before I was born. Funny story I discovered this anime by finding it on the ground of a thrift shop! It was being crushed :( I don’t regret picking up a dirty movie box

There's something about the 2001 series that I enjoy more than the 2019 and I can't quite put my finger on it.

im so glad they brought back the original cast, i was so worried i was gonna have to get used to new voices

Am I the only one that thinks Motoko’s voice was by FAR the best improvement ??

Justin Cook as Haru went from sounding like yusuke in the 2001 anime to sounding like raditz in the 2019 anime

5:24 kisa sounded alot older in first version and then got younger as an adult. That's amazing

Just hearing Laura Bailey alone improving so much from her original performance, when it was already decent, shows how talented she is

Yo the sound quality has come along way since 2001. So glad the original cast is in both the original and remake.

i don’t know whether the change in hatori’s voice was just a side effect of time passing and the actor aging or if it was a conscious decision on his part but i really really love hatori’s lower, rougher voice in the update!!!

Wow... massive improvement from age 11 to 29 (like, obviously yes, but like its sooo much better dang)

They have improved so much since the old version. ^\\^ The new one sounds like it has much more emotion in their performances

They sound more energetic and more dramatic in the 2019 dub and I like it

I like that so many of the actors came back, I loved to see their improvement!

when i started watching the 2019 one i couldn’t tell the difference between them both but now oh my god 😳

You can really hear the differences, while it is the same cast (and I love that they managed to get the same cast) there are differences. I think the remake is better because it’s a remake. A lot as happened in 18 years, technology got better for voice acting, and the voice actors grew and were able to better their skills, either the voices matured or they gained experience. I think this is why the remake is a better dub

"Uh... no." "Uhh......... yes."

The way Shigure pronounce Ayame's name in the old version was a bit annoying to me 😅 But the reboot was quite amazing.. 😉 All ot them sound better ✨✨

with how things are going since 2019 im not surprised of Jamie Marchi's role XD

I’ve always loved Laura, Eric, and Jerry’s voices. I still do in the reboot. However, the original just feels different, and I prefer the old voice acting since it had a cute naïveté, BUT, I understand that the original was made almost two full decades ago, so I completely understand how everyone who was recast sounds different. Even so, their voice acting has aged phenomenally. While I liked their old voices better since they sound younger and “sweeter” like actual teens, the new voice acting has WAY more emotion since the actors are older and have more experience. Both versions of the dub are wonderful.

Listen to Kate Bristol flex

One of my favorite improvements from the original is their consideration for correct Japanese pronunciation, particularly for names!! Every single time I hear one of them say the Japanese "r" sound for names, I get so happy ☺

I still love it that Vegeta/Piccolo/Yamcha are Ayame xD

Holy crap. It amazes me how much the voice actors have improved ksuxbhdj they're so amazing wtf

In my opinion, the best glow-up was in Kisa's VA.

Considering how many strong, tough, masculine characters that Christopher Sabat has played over the last 20 years, voicing such a flamboyant character as Ayame must have been a true treat! You can hear the joy oozing from every syllable! It is rare that an actor gets the chance to play such an over-the-top character!

It still makes me very happy that they brought back so many of the original cast members. Fruits Basket 2001 actually had one of my favorite dubs, and it's hard for me to imagine any other English actors in a lot of these roles --- especially the main four. As someone who discovered the series back in around 2012 and read the manga soon after, the new series fulfilled a long-standing dream of mine to see them get to finish the story as it was intended.

When I look at the two, this is how I feel. The new version has does its story telling better, the animation is much more polished and the voice acting is top notch. However, when it comes to the emotional aspect, I feel like the OG anime did it a little better. What I mean to say is that when it came to the big emotional scenes like the lesson about the rice ball and the plum, or about the importance of memories, the OG delivered it better because it had the perfect music that helped sell the point home and made the lessons stick with you while the new one doesn't have that. Aside from that, the new one is very good, however when it came to showing emotion and wisdom, I usually show the older version to others so they understand what the anime is about.

I wasn't expecting to hear the same people in the different dubs!!!

The newer Tohru voice is the best voice in existence.

I've noticed this in a lot of other dubs, but I think it's great how much more effort is being put into correct name pronunciation these days.

Interesting how in Wendy Powell's first performance as Kyo's mother, you can really hear the doubt and fear in her voice

long 18 years many actors have changed.....they went ahead too far.....they become better.....and now they have returned once again on the same stage.....thank you @Huhsuabee for making this video.....its truly a lovely video....I really love this series....Thank You!

I'm watching the sub version (cause i cant find it in dub with good quality) But after i finish will watch the dub version Cant wait

I love both series' for different reasons. From what I've seen, the first one was a bit more lighthearted and had a more funny aura while the new one is very beautiful, serious and almost melancholy

KISA & MOTOKO IMPROVED SO MUCH

This isn't about the voice acting, but I can't help but be impressed at how nice the translation is for the 2019 version! I feel like the wordflow is often more creative and smooth in the new one. I especially noticed it during Motoko's scenes. XD

This is a great video!!!

The voice actors improvements are so impressive. After 18 years is amazing.

What sticks out almost immediately in all of these is how much more confident everyone sounds with the reboot. It should go without saying (almost everyone here’s been voice acting for two decades), but it clearly shows how far they’ve come in balancing how broad and subtle you have to be with anime dubbing.

I really thought that Yuki got a new voiceactor! Wow! I love his new voice. Not as feminine.

I can't tell you how happy I was when they announced almost all of the original dub cast returning for the reboot, especially because I grew up with the dub, so I personally prefer it purely because of the sentimental value it holds for me. 🥺 But seeing this comparison makes me so proud in how far these actors & actresses have come in their vocal talents since 2001! I am so grateful to them for reprising their roles in a series I hold very near and dear to my heart. Thank you for making this video! ☺
