Review of Fruits Basket

Many people praise Fruits Basket and I just can’t get myself to understand why. (Sorry FB lovers) FB is what got me back into anime (and I’m now questioning how). Before that, I haven’t seen any other anime besides Pokémon and Hamtaro so I loved it a lot and was upset when it finished. Now that I’ve seen over 40 anime’s I REALLY don’t understand. I will give the show credit for the comedy because it was funny at times. Plus the characters were either hilarious (to some extent) or adorable or just plain awesome (still not as awesome in comparison to other anime’s though).Other characters such as Yuki and Tohru (the main characters) were very annoying. I can’t quite describe why they were annoying. It was something about their voice and attitude. This being a shoujo anime, I kind of expected it. I’m not trying to be sexist or anything. In fact some of my favorite anime’s are shoujo and since I am a girl, it’s what I should be watching.
Anyway, I found the story interesting but the script didn’t do it justice at all. It was somewhat irritating, too corny, and just bleh. Also, the ending left me on a cliff hanger so if you’re annoyed by cliff hangers you may not even wanna start watching this. But if you don’t mind cliff hangers (or will just continue with the manga to see what happens), need a stupid distraction, want to watch something cute, or are in the age range of 8-12, or are just really girly, then watch this anime. If not…then…I don’t know, watch something else :P ….if your friend is keeping you held captive and is making you watch it then good luck :D
