Summary: Feel good anime!!!
Review: This last dvd of the fruits basket anime!! it leaves you feeling happy, sad and...wondering. Tohru and Yuki go visit Ayame's "shop," and He and ayame have a brother to brother conv.
Tohru must come to a realization about kyo...and help him forget his TRUE form of the cat. Because Tohru will not give up, Akito wants her to come see him...and the question is will he erase her memory?? The ending leaves you wondering...what happened??
You don't really know whether she ends up loving Kyo or Yuki, which is a little annoying!!
Overall you should definately purchase this video..and hopefully there will be a second season to the Zodiac!!

Summary: warm.
Review: This may spoil it for you, and if it does, i'm terribly sorrie! ><
A beautiful but in some ways an incomplete ending. Yet... i'm thankful that it's 'incomplete'. Fruits Basket is a lot more meaningful than one may expect. Sure it's goofy, and silly, but there are those moments where some of life's greatest lessons, and the better sides of humanity shine through. Ofcourse, where there's a display of positive human qualities, there is also a display of the not so pretty ones...
I got a lot more out of Fruits Baskets than I would have expected. Tohru is definitely one of the most self-less characters ever created, I don't believe there's been one more noble than her. It's beautiful how her existence means so much to so many people, and all the positive influence she has over the people around her. I truly look up to Tohru and I promise I'll try to see the fruit on my back more :).
For those who are interested, I do believe the manga is 11 volumes long? or was it 13... you can always check Tokyopop out :). I'm pretty pleased with the conclusion though... had they made Tohru choose... it would have upsetted me. Through the series I've grown attached to both Yuki and Kyo, to have Tohru choose one over the other would make me sad either way :). Still... it's one of the greatest things I've ever seen and I treasure all the things it's taught me.

Summary: Addicted To Fruits Basket
Review: This the best show I have ever seen. I brrowed the frist three discs from friends and I am now hooked. I am addicted. I recommend renting the videos b/c they are expensive... unless you have the money. Be careful... once you watch, you can't stop.

Summary: My Fave Anime Ever
Review: This was the one anime that made me want to cry laugh and beg for more. When I got the first DVD I was hooked. Wonderful series that it was, the ending sucked. If you excuse my language of course. I did not expect it and it was odd not knowing the end of the story, though that enabled me to imagine a suitable ending. It really is a great DVD and I recomend it to anybody. The only thing kids should really worry about is the language.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: PEOPLE TURNING INTO ANIMALS
Review: Tohru Honda's adventures with Shigure, Kyou(my name too), Yuki and the rest of the Sohma family are very emotional. As you get to meet each member of the Sohma family, you begin to see that the curse goes deeper than just becoming an animal when hugged. they each have their own personal problems that they have to deal with and Tohru pretty much mends all their hearts, or tries at least. For the female veiwers, in addition to crying, you will also be laughing I promise. Yuki and Kyou's ongoing feud supplies me with my daily comedic relief. As you watch more and more of Fruits realize that its not all about romance, but is about love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A different kind of anime
Review: Well, I have watched a variety of anime on Cartoon Network and stuff I buy or rent. FLCL to me is a high water mark of modern anime, and Fruits Basket meets that level.

Fruits has theme music with thoughtful lyrics, it has some martial arts fights (fun stuff to break up the mood), humor, tenderness, and some very odd but cool sequences when characters freak out.

I love the whacked out characters (again I loved FLCL). I like the friendships. I like the way the artists changed drawing styles to express melt downs and dumbfoundedness.

The story is lovely, Tohru is a good person, admirable. The extras are amusing too.

I am told by an aquiantence that the ending is "made up" as the manga goes beyond this story... okay. So? This is an art work in itself, as is. Enjoy it.

BTW, if all you want out of anime is endless battles and/or half naked women then stick with Dragon Ball Z or Lupin III... this won't be what you want.

Also watch it in Japanese with subtitles and learn a little Japanese.
