Love TedLasso? Then you should watch FruitsBasket. Yes, really. Here's AndalusianDoge on why you shouldn't be afraid of a little anime:
The anime’s main character is Tohru Honda, an orphan high school girl who finds herself living with the wealthy Sohma clan. Thirteen of the Sohmas face an unusual curse: when hugged by a member of the opposite sex, they transform into the different animals of the Chinese Zodiac . While this scenario allows for plenty of silly comedy, the story takes the ramifications of this curse seriously: each character has their own form of trauma relating to their isolating condition.
Tohru Honda and Ted Lasso have a lot in common psychologically. Both are outsiders entering into an extended family of sorts , invited in by characters whose ulterior motives involve messing with a former partner. Some members of their new family are immediately charmed by their kindness, while others are defensive and take time to warm up to them. Nonetheless, Tohru and Ted both try their best to improve the lives of everyone around them.
The similarities extend beyond their situations and strengths into their deepest weaknesses. While both Tohru and Ted excel when it comes to helping others, they struggle when it comes to accepting help. Their hyper-optimism is a coping mechanism for grief, and their extreme selflessness can be a stumbling block when it comes to facing their own issues.
