Review of Fruits Basket

This was one of the first anime that I have watched before really getting into anime. My otaku friend recommended it to me so I decided to try it. I love the plot of Fruits Basket, the way that the Sohmas turn into Chinese zodiac animals when hugged by the opposite gender. I thought that the idea was sort of... dumb at first, but then I started to watch more and loved it. It's a funny anime and has made me laugh multiple times throughout it. My favorite character was Kyo Sohma. He's the cat, even though the cat is not exactly in the ChineseZodiac. Because of that, he is often left out of things and somewhat hated in the family. He has a lot of character development throughout the series, and you can see a lot of changes in the end, which, I also love. I was quite disappointed with the end of the anime though. I thought it ended quite sudden, and it could have definitely had more episodes to it. I heard that the manga added on to the anime, so I read that in hopes that it would be better. I wasn't disappointed in that. The manga added on to the anime a lot more, and I would recommend reading it instead of watching the anime. The manga ended beautifully and I highly recommend it.
