Review of Fruits Basket

Fruits Basket is a very character driven series, as there isn't a whole lot happening in each of the episodes. Despite this, the series remains steady, introducing a new character or two every couple of episodes. In the episodes without new introductions, there seemed to be some sort of revelation about one of the existing characters. So, you can expect to really become acquainted with each personality without heavy-handedness. Toward the ending, I found that animators becoming a bit more liberal with the random quirky humor thrown in, [mild spoiler] which made the dramatic ending slightly more awkward. The way the series was paced madethe ending seem very abrupt, and could have used another episode to unfold itself a little better and feel a bit more conclusive. [end mild spoiler] However despite the few flaws (IMHO of course) this series was quite enjoyable and will tug at your heart strings if you let it.
