Anime Blog 45: Fruits Basket

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruits_Basket

Fruits Basket is a 26 episode Shojo that I watched Dubbed. Which is funny because I thought I watched it Subbed...huh. The anime list never lies!

Alright the basic story is this girl named Tohru ends up living with the school prince, Yuki Sohma, due to regrettable circumstances. Turns out the Sohma family has a big secret, they're actually members of the Chinese Zodiac and if they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex they transform into said animal. There's actually a cat in the zodiac, Kyo, and he and Yuki fight a lot. The story just goes from there with meeting all the family (excepting the Horse and the Rooster in the anime) and helping Kyo with his "little problem" (no spoilers!).

I really enjoyed this series. It was so cute! Originally I wanted Tohru to end up with Yuki but apparently that's not how things work in the manga so NO. :( But whatever, it's obvious who she's going to end up with...

I really loved almost all the characters in this show, they were just all awesome!

So...art! (which is so adorable btw!)

 

 

(I feel like this pic is perfect. It has most of the zodiac plus Tohru and the names are labeled!)

 

The only one this picture left out was mine! (My zodiac sign= Monkey) This is Ritsu:

 

(He's just so adorable!)

So now, time for pros and cons.

Pros:

• ADORABLE art
• Good story
• Cool Zodiac idea
• Ritsu!
• Awesome characters

Cons:

• Didn't have the horse or rooster in the anime
• Needs another season

Well that's all for that! Thanks for reading! See you next time!
