The Fruits Basket watch order is straightforward: three consecutive seasons totaling 67 episodes, with no movies or OVAs to slot in. Start with the 26-episode first season, continue into the 25-episode second season, and finish with the third season's Episodes 1-16. Because the story runs in a single unbroken line, the correct order is simply season one through three in release order — there are no side stories or specials to interrupt the sequence. That makes this one of the easier franchises to watch in chronological order: begin at Episode 1 and follow Tohru and the Sohma family straight through toward the finale. If you're wondering where to start, the first 26-episode season is the only entry point, and each following season picks up directly where the last left off, so you never have to hunt for something to watch in between.
