Review of the anime Fruits Basket's, the lastest i've seen
Since everyone and their brother are Love Hina fans, i thought i'd
recommend another superior alternative. Fruits basket. A heart warming
tale of a modern zodiac fable. Its not heavy on love, and
mainly focuses on friendship development and all around fun. I'm a bit
skeptical on how the popularity is gonna turn out, because funimation seems
to be a love/hate thing nowadays. Well i'm reviewing the first and only disc
that is released "The New Transformation". A highschool student Tohru Honda,
while camping out in the woods while her grandfather is away stumbles upon
a little abode nestled in the forest while walking to school one day. Twelve
Zodiac stones laying on the porch of this house were drying from being painted.
She's startled by the charming, perverted Shigure Sohma who notices her
interest in the idle stones. They talk and blah... blah *skips some* and she's about
to leave and a classmate that lives in the Sohma household joins her. Yuki Sohma,
the "prince" and untouchable stud at her school (He has his own fan club).
ANYWAYS, the Sohma boys eventually invite Tohru to stay at the home till
her grandfather returns, because a landslide earthed her tent. When this happens,
the Sohma's outcasted cousin, Kyo, returns from training in the mountains
enraged to learn that a girl is staying there.In this little chain of events,
Tohru accidently "embraces" kyo and all the boys... and they all turn to
animals of the zodiac!
I won't comment on the visuals because they are beautiful, and that is all.
BUT I will suggest you all download the theme song, which is very nice.
