Fruits Basket


Cited from animelist:

Tohru Honda is 16 year old orphaned girl who gets invited to live in the house of her classmate, the handsome boy Sohma Yuki, and his cousins, 16 year old Kyo and 27 year old Shigure. However, these young men and parts of the rest of their family (both close and distant) hold a curse; if they are hugged by the opposite gender, they transform into animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Everyday is an adventure for sweet Tohru, as she gets to know everyone in the large family better (especially Yuki and Kyo), in both common and bizarre situations. But, the Sohma Family curse is certainly no laughing matter... it also holds horrible cruelity and heartbreak.


Review:

Fruits Basket or also known as Furuba, was my first ever anime and I am glad that I was persistently introduced to it by my best friend. It was what made me fell in love with anime. The storyline is captivating and riveting. The usage of Chinese Zodiac make viewers want to identify themselves with their own Zodiac character. For this, I was Momiji, the Rabbit. And he is the most adorable character with the cutest voice ever that most of my ringtones consists of his voice! LOL. It is a nice anime with LOTS of humour and a visual feast for female viewers mostly (I LOVE LOVE LOVE SHIGURE AND AYAME XD). But there are also those sad moments within the anime that would be tearjerking. (I CRY AT THE SAME SCENES EVERYTIME I REWATCH THIS SERIES T__T). But still, definitely a must watch for anime lovers. Oh, and the OST is AWESOME. ;)

Check out the opening song! I know it sounds sad, but you'll understand it throughout watching the anime! Enjoy! :)
