Review of Fruits Basket

Fruits Basket has always been one of my favorite anime and I'd have to say that it's a lot better than the manga (which is good too.) While I haven't read the manga (only some of it...) so far, when you watch this anime, it looks JUST like the manga but the characters are a little different from each other as usual, but keeping it in connection with the manga was pretty good. Story: 10/10 Even though some people dislike Fruits Basket, it is still clear that some kids with a sense of humor would enjoy the story. First it starts off funny, then it gets funnierand then sad at the ending (you'll know), many anime have to have sad moments every once in a while. You might not like Tohru at first, but getting around the teens episodes, you might start liking her. And there's Kyo, funnier than ever. Yuki is somewhat bold sometimes in the manga, but he's really nice to Tohru in this anime. The ending just fits Fruits Basket perfectlly and I wish it just had made more episodes.

Art: 9/10

At some point the art looks a little bit like the manga, but it's style looks more like anime like Azumanga Daioh or something. You know, the very cutesy and plain style? Although, it's not boring to watch. it's just pretty good that it had to be copied from Azumanga Daioh and look funnier.

Character: 10/10

Fruits Basket is mainly an anime for comedy-drama so all the characters would probably get funny every once in a while. Tohru, even though she might be cocky is a little funny. She helps people out when she thinks they might cause trouble or anything. Kyo is hot-headed, but for Tohru's love for him, he gets nicer. Yuki is hot (to girls) and mainly the nicest person in the series and he's very kind to people, but the Yuki fan club girls might annoy you in the beginning all of because Yuki's personality. Shigaru is funny and a little mischevious and perverted, but he kind of acts like he shouldn't be there when you notice him, but he's not exactly one of my favorite characters.

Enjoyment: 10/10

Nervous that some people didn't like the anime, I decided to just eagerly pick it up from the library and try it out to see if I liked it. And I never thought I would enjoy a single anime that big, it was WONDERFUL! It's story, art and characters just really enthuse me. The anime's worth-watching, trust me. Gets happy and then sad and then happy again.

Overall: 8/10

I wouldn't think that Fruits Basket is the best anime ever made, but it's one of them. It has a very enthusing storyline and the characters are great and I recommend to give Fruits Basket a try if you're an anime fanatic.
