Summary: wow
Review: I thought this series looked like a dorky, lame series. I was blown away when I began to watch and was instantly addicted. Not only does Fruits basket give you a warm fuzzy feeling, but the ending is spectacular. (I won't ruin it for you though!) I recommend this to any anime fan, it has the comical aspect right alongside the incredible cuteness. go get it..hurry!!

Summary: AWESOME!!!
Review: In this, the second DVD of the brilliant Fruits Basket series, Tohru gets her first indication that the Sohma curse is not all as cute and cuddly as she finds it. At a school festival, she meets the affectionate and enthusiastic child, Momiji Sohma, and his attendant, the cold family doctor, Hatori. Hatori speaks to her privately and orders her to meet him secretly at the main house of the Sohmas...a large mansion, far removed from Shigure's cosy, fragile little house in the woods. There, Hatori warns her to flee the Sohma house while she still can. Momiji tells Tohru later of Hatori's own private tragedy at the hands of the Sohmas. On her departure, Tohru catches her first glance at Akito, the dreaded head of the family.
Any fear that Hatori instilled is short-lived, though, and soon Tohru is her happy self again, planning New Years festivities and taking part in a trip to a hot spring...she meets two of the more psychotic members of the enormous Sohma family, outspends her budget, and takes part in a school endurance run. Some very funny stuff on this disc, including Shigure's evading his editor, and Hana's participation in the school run.

Summary: Childhood Fantasy Comes to Life
Review: Personally, when I was young, I always dreamed of meeting a group of either animals who could talk, or people that could turn into animals. Fruits Basket is like taking a step back in time, and watching those fantasies come to life.
I also love the reversal of what seems to be a general theme in anime of the horde of girls going after a guy to a horde of guys going after a girl. I wish I was Toru! Yuki, Kyo, and Haku are yummy!
Seriously, though, Fruits Basket is about more than that. It's about valuing real friendship, and learning to love both yourself and other people. This dvd is great for any children old enough to shake off the few sexual connotations scattered throughout the series, as well as for adolescents and adults of all ages.

Summary: Irresistibly moving
Review: The magic of Fruits Basket continues with this second volume. If you liked the first one, you absolutely have to get this DVD (although I probably don't need to tell you). It's just got as many moments of laughter and tears, if not more!Life at Shigure's house is far from dull, what with the upcoming school cultural festival and New Year's coming up. Tohru is happy as ever living with the Sohma family, but her worries aren't over yet. She is soon introduced to two new Sohmas: adorable, childish, but surprisingly insightful Momiji and tall, dark, mysterious and handsome Hatori, whose cold behaviour has Tohru somewhat disturbed. Meanwhile, her relationship with Yuki and Kyo continues to deepen, as she grows to understand them more and more and is able to help them bit by bit. New Year's comes and goes, and it's soon time for the school marathon, where Hatsuharu Sohma (yup, another cousin) makes his first appearance. He is by far the most eccentric Zodiac member we have met so far. I'll tell you nothing more!
Before you know it, it's Valentine's Day, and you just know it'll be a day to be remembered! The final episode is all about Momiji's surprise White Day gift to Tohru (White Day is the day the boys who received Valentine gifts have to give something back): a trip to the hot springs! This volume is very much in step with the first one, it still has that delicate balance of humour, tenderness and grief. There are absolutely hilarious moments, my personal favourite being Shigure's reckless behaviour towards his quasi-suicidal editor. There are also those moments of warm fuzziness we've come to know and love, that just make you feel like everything will be all right, no matter what (and that's the whole point of this anime, isn't it?). And there are absolutely heartbreaking scenes as well... I wept when I first witnessed Hatori's tragic tale, even though I already knew about it from reading the manga: it's just extremely well done. I still get teary whenever I watch it. Also, in this volume, you get another glimpse of the ominous Akito... Just what does he have in store for Tohru?

Summary: Sweet
Review: The second Fruits Basket disc is probably the sweetest one of the three that are out so far. More of the Soma's history is shown, and more of the family's intricacies as well. The bonds between the characters are all strengthened and characterization is reinforced. Just more fun cuteness from Fruits Basket!

Summary: Not what it looks like at first glance
Review: This is, as mentioned before, I very sweet anime. Beyond that though, there is a very sincere and engaging core of seriousness that lurks behind the constant benevolence of Honda Tohru. I won't offer any spoilers, but as the series progresses, the characters develop well beyond the statics they seem at first. NOBODY has had a happy or easy childhood, and the vinettes on each character emphasize the ways that each one of them deals with their curse. A genuinely engaging look at a marvelously magical concept, that explores the meaning of perseverance and what the defination of 'love' truly is. (ack, and now I sound like an info-mercial.) This is a GREAT series! Buy it!

Summary: Fruits Basket Rocks!
Review: To read the title you'd think this was just another boring anime. WRONG! This wacky series about the Sohma family that are all cursed as one animal of the chinese zodiac and get turned into them whenever someone of the opposite sex hugs them. Ranma, move over! The Sohma family is a zany bunch of misfit personalities from Momiji, too cute for words and older than he looks, to Kyo and Kagura who when approached the right way are sweet but have vicious tempers. And lets not forget Hatsuharu and Black Haru (eep!). This is a must see for any true anime fan. The characters alone will keep you in stiches so much you'll have to watch it again to see what all you've missed laughing. This anime definetly rates 5 stars. I'd give it 10 if I could. Although waiting a month for it to come out with the next one is hard. Oh well, just rewatch this one!
