Summary: Lovely series
Review: When I first started watching this series I expected to dislike it. I tend to go for fantasy/fighting anime (berserk/s-cry-ed/mirage of blaze/etc). Fruits Basket, on the other hand, seemed to be one of those carbon-copy stories about a Japanese high school girl with random bits of fantasy thrown in. Not to mention, Tohru's eyes were freakishly large enough to frighten me. Fruits Basket turned out to be a lovely story. All of the characters are fleshed out and seem like real people. The various circumstances they find themselves in are often humorous, but are sometimes tragic. Fruits Basket gently shows the best humanity has to offer no matter what the circumstances. I'd recommend it for anyone who'd like a change of pace from more action-oriented animes, but don't want to gag on the constant fluffyness and lack of depth of most shojo animes. Tohru's eyes are still really, really big though.

Summary: My New Favorite Anime Series!?!?!
Review: I've just rented this series from a local video store, I was expecting to see an average anime series with lots of not so original gimmicks. I was suprised however when I found out how original this series really is! I was addicted to this great series after watching about 5 minutes, its hillarious and you'll probably find yourself rolling around laughing. My friend & I laughed through the whole six episodes on disc one. The series is so cute and Prince Yuki & Kiyu (sp) are so hott!! Summary~ Tohru lives in a forest under the shelter of only a tent after her mother death. She refuses to be any kind of a burden to her grandfather or freinds by asking for a place to stay inside their home. One day while walking to school Tohru runs into Yuki (a classmate) who invites her to stay at his & his older brothers home. Their shocked to find how much Tohru has suffered these last few months after her mothers death. The problem is that Yuki, Yuki's brother, and Kiyu (Yuki's quick tempered cousin) all carry a family curse of being able to transform into their animal zodiac. (Year of the Dog... the Cat) Tohru discovers this curse when she accidently hugs Kiyu & he turns into a cat. They turn into their zodiac when hugged by the opposite sex or by their own will. So now the question stands whether Tohru can be trusted to live in their house as a house maid? Will she be able to not spill their family secret? Will they have to erase her memory? Does Yuki or Kiyu like Tohru more then a friend? ~Summary I would suggest this series to both girls & guys since the series doesnt seem to be more of a girl series then a guys. Also I think this series is a good series in the since that a wide variety of people w/ all very different interests in anime series could fall in love with Fruits Basket. I havent met anyone who has not liked this series so give it a chance & see what ya think! (sorry about my spelling & there was a few character names I couldn't think of.)

Summary: Deeper than it looks at first glance
Review: This series is a sweet, tender, introspective story. While each episode can probably be watched individually, they all build gradually toward the dark and suspenseful ending. I have laughed and cried watching Fruits Basket, watched the entire series through about six times, and still enjoy it. There is not a lot of action, but there's lots of verbal comedy and plot development.
This particular video serves as an introduction to the characters. Tohru Honda is a girl orphaned recently by the death of her mother. She is also temporarily homeless, as her grandfather's house is being renovated. After attempting to live in a tent, so as not to be a burden to anyone, she is taken in by the Sohma family as a live-in housekeeper. Soon she discovers the Sohma family curse. (They transform into animals when stressed-out or hugged) Gradually, over the first four episodes, she gets to know the denizens of Shigure's house, the popular, reserved Yuki, the hostile extrovert Kyo, and the relentless tease (but the closest thing to a responsible adult) Shigure. Tohru herself, not the brightest bulb in the drawer, but hardworking, kind, and always striving to understand people, soon endears herself to the Sohmas, and begins to help them heal from the emotional wounds their curse--and their somewhat nasty family--have inflicted. In the fifth episode, when Tohru is able to move out, they all finally realize what they have begin to mean to one another. (First tear-jerker episode, but hardly the last.) In Episode 6, Tohru brings her friends to meet the Sohmas, resulting in a rather slapstick episode of accidental transformation and coverup.
The series only goes on to get better after this: it doesn't fall into any predictable pattern of slapstick or compete-for-the-girl romance.

Summary: Definately worth the investment.
Review: Fruits Basket, to put it bluntly, is GREAT. The series is about a girl named Tohru Honda who ends up living with a family called the Sohmas after her mother dies. Tohru uses her caring attitude to help the family cope with their past scars, as well as deal with their "secret." A simple enough core plot, but it manages to incredibly hit the spectrum of emotions, from laugh-out-loud moments to tear-jerking emotional sequences, and almost all of the characters are quite lovable. The series instantly became my favorite, which is a title that is pretty hard to get, and has not let me down at all yet. To top things off, the DVDs have big episode counts, and piles of extra features, which are usually exclusive to the Japanese releases. I definately reccomend that anyone who likes or is interested in trying anime give this series a shot. Who knows, it may become your new favorite, too. ^_^

Summary: Disappointed
Review: It is soo not fair that this does not have a second season! Although if it has a second season it would somewhat ruin the story. I think that if they were going to do an anime on the manga they should have at least done the whole thing, not stop right in the middle of the series. I mean, come on. And hey! who does Tohru even go with, ending up with no one? Kyo or Yuki? The rat or the cat? This is really not fair. I am really disappointed that they only made the anime up till the eigth volume. Some reviews say that they dont like tohru because of her personality. Without her goody-goody, naive personality, how can the sohma family get through their sorrow and pains? It is not like anyone else can do so. Although, Akito is not an actual evil person (if you can count abusing Yuki as evil)almost all the characters have a complex personality. This is a wonderful anime, even if it does end up at a somewhat kind of cliffhanger.

Summary: Very entertaining^_^
Review: A little bit about Fruits basket: Did you know that the creator was from CLAMP Cluster? Who's that you ask? CLAMP Cluster was a doujishi circle of 11 women. When they slpit up, 4 of them stayed togeather & formed CLAMP. Perhaps you can see Appapa Mokona's artistic influence on the creators design? About the relationships: The girl, you've gotta like her, but you gotta feel sorry for Cat & Rat, since they turn into animals is a girl's chest comes anywhere close. Also, Rat-kun is the object of desire of 2 men, so the series has BL. (for those of you who are STILL calling BL "shounenai", you REALLY need to stop. No one in Japan says it anymore) I reccomend watching it in Japanese with English Subtitles, as the dubers didn't exactly do the best job & making the voices fit the characters.

Summary: Horrid.
Review: Ah, the Fruits Basket that everone loves. The FB that everyone adores.What to say on the subject? I mean, it had potential. Young girl gets thowrn together with a bunch of hot guys, woo, we've got the next cheap shoujo replacement for FY/Hama Yori Dango. Instead: They had to load it with so much cheesy melodramtic unrealistic BS that if anime were food, we'd be looking a giant tower of rotting suger right now. They made the main character so sickly-sweet and brain dead I could feel IQ points flaking off my head like dandruff just looking at her ( what kind of freak is PERFECTLY fine 2 weeks after her mother dies?!). The main supporting cast either bland and boring ( Kagura, Sigure, Hatori) , vomit-inducingly annoying like Torhu ( Yuki, Momiji) and sterotypical beyond beleif ( Akito, Kyo). In short, if you's like to see some air-headed robot-girl act 5 years old and spew endless pathetic Cutesy BS while a sniveling embryonic gir-erm, boy with white hair fights the embodiment of the angsty-catboy cliche over her, then by all means, watch this anime. But please. Spare me the suggestion of watching it myself, I still haven't recovered from a year and a half ago when I stopped at eps. 16 ( I STILL can't beleive I watched that far....what the hell was I thinking?.....just thank god I didn't waste my MONEY on it, of all the things.)

Summary: Fruits Basket
Review: This is seriously the best anime I have ever seen. It might seem like a weird cartoon at first,(and I admit the name was a little off-putting) but it isn't. The animation is excellent, and the storyline is superb.(I love the love-triangle) It even has morals! (You have to watch to see what I mean)If you don't see Fruits Basket, you are seriously missing out on something great. If it had been an option, I would have given it about seven million stars. Fruits Basket is a MUST SEE.
(ps. Shigure, Kyo, and Hana rule!)

Summary: My favorite Anime
Review: I love this series, and I find something new to love about it every time I watch it (which is a lot). All the characters are very well thought out, and there are numerous memorable lines. This series has a little bit of everything- humor, romance, action, and mystery. Everyone I know, young, old, girl, boy enjoys this series. I reccomend this series for any anime fan. The dubbed version is as well done as any anime I've seen and is fantastic and so is the subbed. This series has four discs and 26 episodes. The last disc sort of changes the "tone" of the series, but is still terrific! I love it!
