LOL you used that picture I gave you as your siggy? It looks nice ^ .

Anyway Fruits Basket just felt like it was all done before. Like "seen that, seen that, already been done, blah blah". Not that it was bad, just felt like a mass-produced series. Made fast, generic and just ok, not great or amazing. It does have one of my favorite voice actors, Jerry Jewel in it as one of the main characters, so if anything I got a cool voice cast. Plus I gata see all of Akitaro Daichi work, just to make sure he's the genuis I think he is ;). Or complain that he went downhill.

I've probably expressed my opinions on this in earlier posts, but I believe I've changed some opinions anyhow.


Fruits Basket, was a cute series. Granted. Was it an interesting idea? Yes. It was different than the old 'guy surrounded by girls' thing, and switched it. To a point. There were still female members of the zodiac and to me, bleh. That got in the way, but it was more realistic. (I love men ^<<^)

The things that make me smile in this Anime is the music, and the realizations (that are quick, mind you!) Because that's one thing I like about Tohru. She realizes her shortcomings quicker than usual female characters so the whole issue doesn't drag on in a retardant manner.

Yuki....Ah! *starry eyes* be still my beating heart, what a little sweetie! I adore Yuki. And Shigure, so adorable! Their personalities are wonderful to me, and so very well spoken and intelligent.
Kyo, UGH. Don't get me started. Period. I tense up so terribly when he comes on-screen. It just emanates this horrid hostility that even I (as violent as I am) get tired of. He screams and shouts when its not necessary; its just nerve-grating.

Manga Spoiler:
[spoiler]The fact that in the Manga Akito was a woman?! A damn woman?! TCH. How annoying! Not to mention it didn't FIT. Sure maybe the pre-menstrual #¤!%&, but even in the Manga, he/she was DRAWN Male. You can't just randomly decide that its gonna be female when you clearly draw a male chest with male attributes. I mean you CAN, but it makes no sense! I as an artist find that aesthetically aggravating![/spoiler]

And the females....suck. Sorry, they suck. Aggravating, emotionless, overemotional or just damn scary, these characters need work in some sort of mental facility. Kagura's the worst. I can ignore all the others, but that one....oh that one I just want to beat to death. ^<<^;

I still have to see this entire anime. I'm a big fan of Daichi's and I think this may be better then i first thought. Or at least I hope so. Maybe it gets better after where I stopped? I do have plans to check this out one day. I plan to see if Funimation is streaming Welcome to the NHK on their site/youtube (legally). I'm buying that series, but I gata see what happens next in that soon haha. Maybe I'll see if Funimation is streaming this legally too. I could watch it that way ^^ . If I like it maybe I'll buy it. it would look nice next to NTHT, his true masterpeice. I gata get Animation Runner Kuromi 1 and 2 to put next to it as well, that way I can feel like I got the best from this guy.

Gah! Rumiko! Please use spoiler tags! I didn't even get that far in the Manga. >_<

BTW, Kyo is the best! Theres a reason he is the way he is. When him and Yuki go at it, it's hilarious. This cute little Anime series is much more funnier than those Anime series that are supposed to be funnier. Anyways, the only characters that I hate are Kagura, Akito and the Yuki fanclub. :hmf:

FuRuBa is awesome!!! I simply love it!!! Everything about it are great!!! I haven't finished it yet but as far as I have read it's great! My favourite character is Momiji! He is sooooooo cute!!! The one thing I didn't like in FuRuBa was Akito's attitude... But in the end he becomes as good as he can be... So now there is nothing that I dislike about it! Takaya did her best!!! :love: :love: :love: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

I don't know if I have commented on this and I am too lazy to go back through...

Fruits Basket is okay, but could have been better. It has its moments and is charming at times (Tohru is such a sweety!) and it had a relatively interesting premise, cute music & presentation, but the slapstick is really excessive at times (a major contrast to some of the drama this anime has) and there are way too many males. :P It's like a relentless onslaught! Generally, I thought it could have been executed much better as I have read that the manga is deeper, more serious and less wacky.

Being an animal lover though, it was hard not to like this rather cute anime, so it got a "Good" vote from me. Less screwball antics though and it could have been a great drama/romance series. Instead, it's a decent anime with a lot of loud, kooky absurdity.

Yuki is my favorite Charactor. The bickering and squabbling between Yuki and kyo are funny. Also with yuki and his brother, Ayame.

I like the episode when Kisa was introduced. So is so adorible. The way she follows Tohru around. Also the one when Tohru's friends came to visit,

(when Tohru bumps into Yuki and jellbuns fly everywhere)
Yuki: miss Honda, over here!
Tohru: jellybun, jellybun, oh Yuki! (reaches)
Yuki: No wait! that's a...a
Tohru: (grabs a jellybun)
Yuki:TT_TT a jellybun! (boof) TT_TT I gets it's a good thing she didn't catch me. She squeesed that bun so hard all the filling came out!

Fruits Basket is kind of a meh show so far. It panders to the girls way too much. It's really just some fluff, but it's praised like a groundbraking masterpeice. I have a problem with that. This is my second time watching the first few episodes, and I cans ee I was right the first time. So far it's pretty weak a 5 or 6 out of 10. Daichi may be a great director, but that won't make the show good if the original concept is crap. I have only seen the first few episodes Funimation has up on the official site (legally), but I doubt it gets better. If you want some good Daichi comedies, check out Kodacha, or Animation Runner Kuromi. Those are really good! If you want something that will leave an impact on you check out Now and Then, Here and There. Those anime series, put this one to shame, and they are all by the same man. He's good at what he does...

I don't understand fangirls sometimes. I mean I don't go around claiming the anime series that have lots of panty shots and fanservice aimed at guys as a masterpeice. It's just fluff, and I make sure people understand that (now it can still be good fluff, don't get me wrong ;) ) . Crazy fangirls on the other hand treat eye candy like it's a groundbraking, masterpeice that never will be reproduced. This is a very generic show that I might have enjoyed it more without the hype. I still plan on buying this is the price is right (waaaay down the road), and give it a third chance, maybe this time I'll get passed the first few episodes.

I watched the anime a long time ago. maybe a few years ago and I only recently read through the manga (meaning i finished reading it today). I read many different types and in my own opinion. I enjoyed Fruits Basket I love the manga.

I may read it over again but that may be later.
