Review of Fruits Basket

This anime is great! Why did it have to end so soon? 'Fruits Basket' has a compelling story line, great characters and humor! Why isn't it more famous? I'd like to know! After Tohru lost her mother in a car accident she finds herself unexpectedly living with the Sohma's, a family of males with a secret. Whenever they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex or their bodies are under pressure, they turn into the animal of the year they born in from the Chinese zodiac. Tohru quickly learns this once she moves in, but as long as she keeps their secret, she can livewith them.

The series in general is fantastic! Like the notes say in the beginning of the first volume, "take two parts drama, one part comedy, add a spoonful of romance and a pinch of magic and you partway there." I couldn't express it any better!

Overall, I'd recommend this show to any anime addict.
