May contain Spoilers: I first learned of "Fruits Basket" through a trailer on a FUNimation tape my little brother was watching. At first I didn't know what to think of it, but I like the FUNimation voices so I thought I would check it out someday. Although that
"someday" came about a year later. I bought the first DVD and watched it. I was hooked!!! This series is like nothing I have ever seen before. I mean the
characters turn into animals! This is a story about a young girl who loses her mother in a car accident. She didn't want to be a burden to anyone so she decided to live in a tent in the
woods. When she was walking to school, she stumbled across a house and
that's where she found Yuki and Shigure, two cousins who are cursed.
After I watched the first DVD, as I said I was hooked and it also left me in a very good mood. I was surprised by how well the dialog was done. It really sounds very natural, which is very difficult to do. This is by far the funniest anime show I have ever seen. Just with the dialog and the actions of the characters. It had me rolling in laughter, which is something anime doesn't normally do to me. If you are a hard core action anime fan, this isn't for you. But if you have a softer side you will adore this show! I love anime, but most of my friends don't, well, I had one friend over and they hate anime, they think I'm crazy for liking it. Anyway, she watched the first episode and she loves it!!! All in all, Fruits Basket is a wonderful little story. Everything is good about it!! The animation is excellent the whole way through, the voices match perfectly, it's hysterical, and it even has its secrets that you would never expect to come from this type of series. 10/10 ^_^
