Review of Fruits Basket

For the critics, Fruit basket was the Funny and the Sad! Very light drama and little action. But the richness in characters were awesome. This anime not only has a great storyline and humor but also has life lessons. In short, a girl named Tohru come to live in the house of the Sohmas where she discovers herself the family forbidden secret: a curse in which the members turn into animals of the Chinese Zodiac when hugged by the opposite sex. Such empowered sentiment and nostalgic characters exposed in each distinct family member. The favorable humor smartly caused in the inate personalities of the zodiac animals! The animedoesn't quite delve into the story like the manga does, so there's a huge difference between them. But otherwise, I liked it!

The main character, Tohru, isn't anything special, she' just a normal girl. But she's the kind of character that all the others look up to, and you can just admire her for her gentleness and gregariousness. Each Sohma member has their own dark past to over come. Tohru is very giving and very naive but she tries to help them. I have a few issues with this though, mainly having to do with the fact that Tohru doesn't have much of a personality beyond being kind, patient, and dumb.

The anime doesn't quite delve into the story like the manga does, so there's a huge difference between them. But otherwise, I liked it! However, if you're looking for a good read that's funny and well-plotted, this is it.
