Summary: More Soma Craziness
Review: The third disc of Fruits Basket is the most interesting of them all so far. We get to meet Akito, the mysterious leader of the Soma family, and we're introduced to even more of the family. There's Ayame, Yuki's older brother (boy is he a trip!), and Kisa, the cute little girl who turns into a you don't think I'm actually gonna tell you do you? That would ruin it! The relationships between Toru, Kyo (the really hot one!), and Yuki are given more dimension, which is always nive :) (can you tell that I'm somewhat of a romantic?). The third disc is really good and it only leaves you wishing that you already had the fourth disc, but you'll have to wait until the end of May for that. Darn!

Summary: Utterly adorable.
Review: There really are no two words that could better describe 'Fruits Basket.' It's a charming series featuring the kind-hearted baka Tohru and the Souma family that she came to live with. The family has a dark secret- many of the members, the Juunishi, turn into the assorted animals of the Chinese Zodiac (and, in Kyou's case, the cat) when embraced by a member of the opposite sex, or put under stress. Tohru discovers this secret and, to Yuki the rat-boy's surprise, likes them anyway.

Each episode is amusing and charming (and makes me love Kyou even more.. mmm) and, on top of that, has a nice little lesson to it. 'People get jealous because their beauty is on their backs, like the treats on a rice-ball..' It's darling. I can watch them over and over again without getting tired, and I highly prize it as one of the best of the lesser known, if not all, animes I've ever seen.

There are six episodes per DVD. In this set, you get to meet Yuki's older brother who turns into a snake, and his stories are hilarious. If you have no qualms about seeming mildly girly, I recommend Fruits Basket as a laugh-out-loud, sweet, and tear-jerking gem that can get anyone a little emotional, but most of the emotions you'll feel are happy. Certainly, none will be disappointment.

Summary: A favorite for good reason
Review: This is a gentle, kindly anime series, with good humor and interesting stories and characters. It's easy to see why Fruits Basket has become a favorite among viewers. Like Ai Yori Aoshi, Fruits Basket can be trusted... you know that every episode will be sweet, and funny, and involving. The quality of the series remains high throughout. There is enough action and comedy to keep the episodes engaging, and the artwork is well done without being over the top. Overall, this is one of my favorite animes. If you enjoy Chobits, Ai Yori Aoshi, Please! Teacher or Love Hina you will probably enjoy Fruits Basket just as much (or more if you're a sucker for kind characters and sweet sentiments.)

Summary: Deeper into the Sohma family secrets...
Review: Tohru is still making new discoveries about the Sohmas! Hatsuhary and Momiji start at her school, and she meets the dreaded Akito face to face for the first time. Later, Tohru meets Yuki's older brother, a man so full of himself he overflows and drowns everyone in range. Ayame is hilarious--imagine Shigure with five times the ego, five times the enthusiasm, and none of the wisdom. Shigure, Ayame and Hatori (who all went to school together) play off one another brilliantly. Fun and sadness both on this disc, as the anniversary of her mother's death approaches, Momiji confides his own troubles to Tohru, and Hana begins to realize the idea that Tohru is growing apart from her. Tohru also meets Kisa, a Sohma child whose problems come from outside the family (for a change.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not Your average Stereotype
Review: When you first see Fruits Basket, you think that it must be a soft, gentle, childs anime, and that it might not be a worthwhile investment. You might think that the plot is not meaningful, and that it might just be a waste of money. Boy, are you wrong. In this DVD, there are three episodes, where Tohru, who has more love in her heart then brains in her head ( not that I respect people who make fun of her- that's childish), Does many things. She meets two new members of the Sohma family, Ayame and Kisa. She goes on another vacation trip- to a lake. She fails an exam. And, celebrates (no joke) the aniversary of her mother's death. But, that's not what makes you want to watch it. The title, Puddles of Memories, is definately justified. For those who saw the second DVD and were looking for more romance won't find it here (except with Shigure and Ayame- lol), besides for something nice Kyo actually does for Tohru (clue- hhe over comes a fear of something that is a green vegetable). It deals with a revelation of Momiji's that connects him to Tohru, the saddening story of Kisa, which relates to Yuki as well, and clues to why Akito is so feared (not many- and feared by Yuki only). Otherwise, this DVDis hilariously funny. There are the joke like always, except now we have Ayame, classmate of SHigure and Hatori, in which all three of them play off eachother perfectly (plus Haru in the bathroom). There are not many things talking about the curse, like how Kagure mentioned Kyo's other form (in DVD 1), except for something Yuki says in teh episode with Kisa. Overall, this DVD is more then it seems, and it would be wise to pick one up.

Summary: I am officially an Akito-sama fan
Review: Wow he is sooooooo cool!! I adore Akito-sama now! Though I must say that it was very mean of him to treat Yuki in such a fashion I have fallen in love with his voice and that smile ::heart eyes:: man, I love him. Though there aren't many fans for him, I'm a worshipper!!! BWAHAHAHA!
