Fruits Basket (2001)
10/10
warm, heartfelt and delightful in every way

Fruits basket is one of the most amazing anime and manga's i have ever read. Although i do have to admit, this genre of anime is directed at female audiences young and old( my mother loved this too.) I found that the story is unbelievably mushy but you can totally get absorbed into the 'mushyness' of the story. I completely fell in love with the story line because it was very beautiful and in a way had a lot of dimensions to it. The story had a funny comedy side and a romantic side and also a dark serious side that does make you see a lot of morals in the story. The morals are beautifully shown.

The characters of the anime were very different from some anime i have watched in the past. The characters are very 3 dimensional. they show a lot of emotions each and in a way you ache for their pains as thought they were real people. this is the anime where i cried a lot in, each characters background give them a really good base to work from and to enter the hearts of watchers. my favourite episode has to be the last three because every time i watch these episodes, i still cry non stop. and also i enjoyed momiji's story because this anime does make you think about life in a sense.

i loved this series and, if you enjoy emotional stories, this is sure to be a winner with you
