Watch the First Episode of FRUITS BASKET's Final Season This Weekend and Enjoy Some Bubble Tea Next Month
Fruits Basket is an incredible anime and the third and final season will be airing in April. Well, if you have Funimation, you’ll be able to get an early peek at the season premiere. On March 19, fans will be able to watch a special premiere event via Funimation at 9 AM PT and will feature the English dub. In addition, Eric Vale (Yuki Soma), Jerry Jewell (Kyo Soma), Ian Sinclair (Kureno Soma), Colleen Clinkenbeard (Akito Soma), and Brina Palencia (Isuzu Soma) will be making special appearances. An official date has not been set for the SimulDub of Fruits Basket yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the news was announced during the premiere event.
In addition, Funimation recently teamed up with the biggest bubble tea company in the U.S. Kung Fu Tea. Their collaboration is bringing new limited edition drinks on April 1: Yuki’s Noble Taro Slush, Tohru’s Strawberry Blush Slush, and Kyo's Mango Madness. When you purchase one of the above drinks, you’ll also get a Fruits Basket sticker. Also, between now and May 9, when you purchase any Kung Fu Tea drink, you’ll be able to get a free one-month subscription to Funimation. Talking about the deal, Rahul Purini of Funimation said:
The promotional partnership between Funimation and Kung Fu Tea is a great way to celebrate the final season of Fruits Basket and is an excellent way for fans to celebrate these beloved characters. It’s also a great way to usher in spring and a whole new season of amazing anime content.
