Okay - to set everything straight, I was referring to what happened in volumes 11-13. I have never downloaded scans, and have no intention to. I also thought I was staying vague, and as far as I know didn't give anything at all away. I certainly never intended to cause a scene. |

can i join? 
seriously though, i loved them both, and for those who comment on the fact that the manga goes farter, yes it does, but can you honestly think of a better way to end the anime then the story they chose. that story is perhaps the single reason that i like (spoiler for safety reasons) spoiler[Kyo] the best. give it time and it will grow on you. then read the manga to find out the rest of the story. |

So, is this the rip on the FB anime thread?
Just kidding.
I personally love this series. Perhaps I'd personally go out a limb and say it's my favorite anime. I enjoy the manga as well, but there are some things about the anime I like better, and vice versa. It's a slice and life drama at heart, people often mistake it as a fantasy, because of certain elements (the zodiac members turn into animals when they're hugged by the opposite sex! Zomigod!). The series to me, was sucessful as it really got me emotionally invested in the characters and story. I cared about the characters and how the story was going to play out. I was happy when the characters overcame their personal trysts and was sad when we got to learn about their often heartbreaking pasts. Others things I liked about the anime was the music, which was done by the late-but-great Ritsuko Okazaki. Her music just gave the anime this really serene atmosphere, and I love listening to the FB- Song for Ritsuko Okazaki sountrack. Also, while the sub was good, IMO the dub was superb. Really wonderful performances. I could go on, but I think you get the jist of it. I really loved the Furuba anime and I also stand by Key's opinion that it shouldn't be punished just because it's not the manga. (Also, the "oh, the manga is SO much better" elitism annoys me to no end, but I'm not calling any of you elitists and you're absolutely entitled to prefer the manga to the anime) You might not find charm in the series (anime or manga) at all and that's fine. It's not going to appeal to everyone. Y'know what, pop in Genshiken one more time and watch that again ( ). The most important thing about watching a series is to know that you're enjoying it. Just because your friends love FB doesn't mean you have to.

I personally didn't like Fruits Basket that much. I saw the all the anime episodes, and while it was alright I just never felt that captivated by it. I don't see it as a sub-par anime, just an anime that is nothing special. Of coarse, this is all my opinion. I can easily see how it can be very successful and have its own niche in the anime world.
Argumentum ad hominems are really not the best method for conveying a point. I can come to tell you like the anime , but I cannot tell why. Much information and credibility is lost in doing so. I would also have to agree with Aromatic Grass on this one, everyone is entitled to their own individuality. Just because someone does not like a certain show, that does not mean they lack emotions or anything of the sort. |

Your actually not missing anything. If that is how you perceive the series then there's nothing wrong with that. Afterall, the quality of an anime is based on how the viewers perceive it. Each one of us has different tastes and preferences so you should not let other people's preferences influence yours. Although personally, I like Fruits Basket because the plot was humorous and exciting and because the characters are endearing. In fact I'd rate this anime as very good...but then again, this is my own personal opinion.

You'd only really want to watch Fruits Basket if your were extremely depressed. Because it is one of the most uplifting shows out there, because basicly this girl is a huge loser and yet she's so grateful and kind, even when her life sucks.

I think "loser" is a really bad word to describe someone who, despite taking more and harder knocks from life than most of us out there, keeps trying and comes up smiling day after day spoiler[and manages to heal an entire family into the bargain]. To me, "loser" is someone who fails at life due to their own laziness/misplaced priorities, and then complains about it all the time.
I'm another that came to the manga from the anime, which I loved and am currently re-watching (though it currently has to compete for train-video-time with Strawberry Panic and with the manga). I'm on volume 12 of the manga and really enjoying it--there is definitely more depth to the characters and story. It is a very uplifting story, but you don't have to be depressed to like it and get joy from it.  It's completely focused on the development of the characters and the relationships between them, so if that's not your cup of tea, no harm done.

For me Fruits Basket is decent anime inferior to manga, mainly because my favourite characters are Akito and Shigure and their relationship is more developed in the manga.
I see that many people like me may have problems with the main character Tohru who is artificial, unconvincing IMO. I suggest that if you are interested in any other character then you may give it a try but if you don't find anyone interesting after watching some episodes then give up. |

And it reflected with the fans in Japan too. In the three polls conducted during the series' run, all three times Kyo was voted as the fan favorite. |

Is this series really good? I'm planning to buy this as a gift for myself for christmas.
I think viga_of_stars didn't find this appealing because maybe his/her is not into shoujo anime. |
