I can't believe there are no discussions about Fruits Basket! This is like my favorite anime ever (as evidenced by my avatar). So what do you like about Fruits Basket? For me, it's mainly the juxtaposition of a rather dark storyline with a lot of funny characters and silly events and dialogue. There are so many dark things going on in the background here (Akito, the curse, etc) but what you see on the surface is a lot of wackyness. I love that. =)

Shido - Shido and Modoka from Get Backers.
Yeah I have to agree with you. The mix of such a dark and angsty story along with such a seemingly light way of approaching it makes this anime such a masterpiece. Have you read the mangas?

Tohru's Ribbon - Yuki complimenting Tohru on her lovely ribbons. Cute!

From what I can tell in Canada anyway, probably the same for the States is they are up to book 15.

Hmmm. Picture switchups, eh? *shrugs* Weird. I've read some of the mangas. Not all of them yet though. I read some random ones that I could find online, but not in order. And now that they're coming out in the United States, I own the first 12 or 13 of them. Then I kind of had other spending priorities the past year (had a baby) so I haven't quite been able to catch up with buying them. I'm going to have to see how many are out and pick them up when I get my tax return. =p

No, the name doesn't really give it justice. It does make it sound a lot sappier than it really is. I'm so excited that you're watching this! It's my favorite anime ever. =P

I love Fruits Basket lol... it was actually the first anime that I ever bought (and the second one that I ever watched -- I was so lucky to start with the good ones, cause if I started with a bad anime, I might have never gotten into it all...) and I got my sister hooked on it too :P And everytime I see your avatar here in the threads, I get all giddy like a fan girl.. it's pretty bad haha. I'm all like... Hana-chan! So, now I own the entire series on DVD and I have so far the first 13 manga for it. I was going to buy 14 and 15, but they were all out of number 14 the last couple times I was in the store, so I didn't get them, cause I'm trying to get them all in order :) I'm also a huge fan of Shigure... I think he's just the greatest character and he's so funny... not to mention cute (I know, it's pretty sad to think that a cartoon is cute, but he is :P), plus, I really like all the other characters. Momiji is a hoot, Haru is so cool, Kisa is just the cutest little thing ever. And Ayame... I don't care what Yuki says, I know he loves him back :) I would anyway... even if I was acting like I didnt :P And I just love Yuki and Kyo too :P Do I sound obsessed yet? Cause I probably am lol... I even made me and my sister matching Kyo bracelets lol... and I bought wooden beads and painted them all by hand and made them myself :) I gave her's to her for her birthday as part of the gift, and she got all giddy and did a bit of squealing in the restaurant. It was funny, but I was glad that she liked it. It was hard to hide the one that I made for myself then too, cause I wanted to wear mine, but I couldn't until I gave it to her first, cause I wanted it to be a surprise. Yea, I'm going to shut up now lol... thanks for making a topic about an anime that I absolutely love :) You rock!

"cause if I started with a bad anime, I might have never gotten into it all" You know, I almost didn't get into anime at all because the first ones I saw were so weird I just didn't get them at all. It took meeting my husband who loves anime to get me really into it. Hehehe... I'm like that when I spot characters from anime that I like in avatars too! I haven't seen anyone else using one from Fruits Basket that I remember, but I'm still waiting! I love Hana-chan. She's one of my favorite all-time anime characters. =) *shrugs* I think of tons of anime characters as being cute, so I don't think it's sad! Anyway, I think there are a lot of cute characters in this show! I have about the same amount of the manga as you do, because I just stopped having money to buy it while it was coming out, but I'm going to catch up on it some soon when I get my tax return. Oh, the Kyo bracelets are such a good idea by the way!

I've watched Fruits Basket...all 26 episodes in, like, 3 nights! i'm so rooting for Kyo-Tohru in that anime. and yes, you're right, it has a pretty dark storyline with too much wackiness going on in the anime..i especially love momiji-kun with all his bunny-ness!!! i remember shedding quite a lot of tears watching that series...and how i wish they'll make a second season of it. it's so short and there are much too many things that happened in the manga after that anime ending! i want to watch all of it in the anime! =)

Momiji is very very cute! =p There is so much that happens in the manga after the end of the anime. I wish they would make more too!

Wellm that answers my question about who your avatar is. I'm afraid I have never heasrd of Fruit BAsket. Years ago my son was into the Ronin Warriors, and that is the only anime I have ever really run across.

Haha, and I already answered that question where you asked it before I got here. =p I've heard of Ronin Warriors before, but I haven't seen it. I do watch a lot of anime though. I used to think I didn't like anime, because the first one I saw was really weird... but several years later I met my husband who loves it, and now I'm a bigger anime fan than he is! Fruits Basket is pretty much my favorite anime now.

Yup, yup, you caught me all right here. To be honest I didn't check under "anime" just under "Fruits Basket" as a tv show. So that's why I didn't see it. And yeah, fair enough. =p

youre right. this anime is funny, how thoru get involve with the zoma family which is cursed with the zodiac. how she is being loved by yuki and the others. yet the ancestor of zoma clan akito doesnt like her at all.
