Review of Fruits Basket

Fruit basket is about a girl Honda Touru who gets involved with the Souma family and starts living with them. But the Souma family is not as it seems. Some of them are cursed: They turn into Jyuunishi animals when they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex. Okay this part is fine, but it brings to question how did it get its name? Well from a game Touru played when she was younger. If you happen to miss the episode where she was getting all emotional till the end you do not have any idea what fruits in basket have to do withthis series.

Story 4: The story is the most repetitive story I think I have ever seen. Even competition animes have a bit more story. Here a new member of the Jyuunishi appears. The animal he/she is, is found, her/his issues are miraculously solved by Touru talking some mumble jumble and then everyone becomes happy and friends. Shot me. And this goes on till the end of the anime.

Character 5: All the Souma family seem to collectively feel scared and neglected because of the curse. Then they also have another one dimensional characteristic like hot tempered and the show no other behaviour except this one. Now to Touru she is also one dimensional she only knows how to be happy and accept everyone with their entire flaw while in the middle giving long unnecessary speeches on acceptance. I will commit suicide.

Sound 2: I never completely listened to the OP or ED which was just slow and boring. There was only one other sound in the whole thing. It was nauseating and played for too long in each episode making me want to kill myself. It usually just went on and on during Touru or some other persons speech.

Art 6: All the characters are the same drawing with different eyes and hair really. From old to young people. The background art was not too bad but the characters were not giving enough time.

I find this one of the most disappointing animes ever made. The beginning when the story, and sound seem new is fine but on approaching episode 20 it starts to get to you. And make you ill. So many people seem to think this is great, it is not. If I met Touru in real life I could kill her.

The anime as opposed to growing on you grows off you, sad. There are so many better animes try them out and leave this far away from you.

Overall: 4 Enjoyment:3
