Tagged under Natsuki Takaya, Series.
Honda Tohru is may be the unluckiest high school girl ever. Not only she had to face her mother's death alone, she now
have to live alone and better still, has no place to live. Desperate, she tried to live in a small tent on a portion of
seemingly un-owned land. However, bad luck was still on her side, as a landslide actually buried her new home and all
her belongings. The Souma family, who was actually the owner of that piece of land discovered her and after listening to
her story they kindly took her in and gave her a temporary place to stay in their house. Tohru, in turn, was expected to
help the three Souma boys with their household chores such as cleaning, washing the laundry, and cooking. Tohru
considered herself to be lucky to actually be allowed to stay in the same house as the 'prince' of her highschool.
It was all looking good til the time that one (un)fortunate incident revealed their true selves to the
clueless and ever so dim-witted Tohru. Though shocked and surprised, Tohru decided to keep their secrets with her to her
death. However, will the Souma family approved of an outsider knowing their deepest darkest secret? And how will this
secret change Tohru's life? Was her meeting with the Soumas a fortunate encounter, or maybe it was the exact
opposite?

Crash09dart's Fruits Basket Tv And Manga Review
Rated:
The use of the elements like transformations and legends is really cool, but what gave me a greater impact is the "bonds" and promises they hold for each other. The feelings they all keep inside. Also different character perspectives and attitudes like the almost-perfect character, the always-happy character, the uber-shy character and the klutzy main character, they all fit together, like a puzzle that's best when together. Also the inevitability of each characters being bound together.
Having all sorts and kinds of character is really good. The use of family problems and such, acceptance and rejections. reasoning and understanding of each characters.

very funny and intriguing anime, i love the idea of the Sohma family turing into zodiac animal when hugged by the opposite gender. those moments whenever tohru would try to hide their transformations is priceless..^^

It's cute. The female protagonist is one of the few in a shojo anime who doesn't annoy the c**p out of me, which is
always a bonus. She has the abysmally typical ability to see into the hearts of others (oh, my...), but, is such a
hard-worker and generally likeable person that she's hard not to grow fond of. *laughs*
Annd, annd, BUNNY! I love bunnies! *tackles*
Eh, better now. Totally better.
The rating is for some super!'special' voice acting, dodgy animation, and hardcore predictability. ^__^; In short, it
really isn't anything special. Cute. Not a work of art. ^__^;
I didn't like the ending, however been able to see the cutest Yuki was worth it. This anime/manga is a heart-breaking one. Seriously they break your heart too often with all that sadness -.- But in the end everyone ends up being happy so that's a relieve.

I love this little story. It's such a sweat and touching series, it warms my heart everytime ^^ Also, love the
characters!
Now, I know about the relationship between the anime and manga. I've finnished both, and I like them both. And while the
anime ended with fans who had already finnished the manga displeased, (I'll admit I was a little too) I thought they did
an overall awesome job. Especialy the soundtrack. There are alot of really nice peices in there. (Example being the
opening. Makes me want to cry now that I know the story D: )
If you're a girl looking to get into anime and manga, I suggest Fruits Basket as a great starting point! :)
the anime is terrible.. its only redeeming qualities are the voice of kyo and the part where tohru's friends visit. the animation + art style is awful and it's just not right.. the jokes aren't funny. manga is a billion times better
