Fruits Basket I loved this series. -_-

This may be a rather lame first post, but I just finished the anime fansub tonight on tape and I just love this series. ;_; This usually isn't the type of series that would draw me in, but for some reason, I just loved Honda Tohru, Momji and Souma Yuki. I despised Souma Akito. I laughed at Souma Shigure, Risa, Momji (stop...the...cuteness...blarg!), Ayame, and Kyou; and I found myself desperately hoping Yuki and Tohru would end up together. -_- It's really weird, because for a guy (and a writer...well, we're working on it) who thinks Hellsing is the bomb, Serial Experiment Lain and Boogiepop Phantom is demented genius, Ranma is amusing but too repetitive...well I mean, for my common genre, it's just so bizarre I found myself really caring about the characers and the story. Something just worked...maybe it hit home, I dunno. Fruits Baskets rules. Lessons on life and all. nuff said here. -_-

On a side note, reading a post or two elsewhere on this board...for those who -have- read to the end of the manga (since the anime stops short), does Tohru end up with Yuki or Kyou, or either?

 

Hey, it isn't all that strange for a guy to like Fruits Basket. As it stands, I haven't found a person yet who didn't like the series to a greater or lesser extent. And it was a guy who introduced me to the series in the first place (Thanks, UK!)

Anyway, I haven't read the manga past the point where the anime ends, so I have no clue who Tohru ends up with, or if she ends up with anybody. As far as I know the manga is still coming out, so that probably hasn't been resolved.

They do have a pretty fun love triangle going there, though. ^_^

I love fruits basket and i've only watched the first 6 episodes on dvd. fruits basket is my new love! Its okay for guys to like girl animes....actually i think its cute. hahahaha. Even though i'm not a guy i still think its fine to like fruits basket and yea i was pulled in too! but i don't mind i love it! Yuki be mine!!

 

I thought it was fantastic too. I'm a guy, I'm even a mod of the forum here. It is a great series. One of the best I've ever seen. It's got what really counts, whatever you deem that to be. So, yeah. Welcome to the furuba forum.

 

heehee! yep! yep! Who can't help but fall in love with fruits basket? and ya know what i heard? anime and manga is getting more popular! although its little by little. popular people...i wonder what they think.

 

you scared me when you said love"d", cuz for some stupid reason I thought you found out something happens in the end and spoiled it for you.
Anyway, Im a BIG fan of Fruits Basket and I have all the episodes on my comp. I watched the series twice and the last 3 episodes 5 times. I love the series and love Kyou-kun and Im surpirsed when I see a guy that is interested in this series, cuz I find it like a girlish type of anime. However, Fruit Basket is one of a kind, where its theme relates to everyone and it is "Friendship and acceptance of who you really are" I wish that the series continues and Toharu falls for Kyou ^_^

 

yea. i really hope Tokyo pop answers yes to my request. I asked them to translate the manga series and they said they'd look into it but i really dunno. i hope they do a great job on it. their translation of kodocha was kind sloppy.

 

Tokyo pop is coming out with it in english. Me and my friend got an email saying that they were goin to bring it out in a few months. So soon we will have it...its so great ^^.

 

It was a guy who introduced me into it too. It was such a great anime and the manga art is amazing. I wish I either knew Japanese so I could read the manga or had enough money to buy the coming English versions. I'm glad Tokyopop got a hold of it though.

 

after all, fruits basket is a shoujo(anime for gals). i really like it, but only have seen eps. 1-12 or something.

 

I dont think its weird if guys like this anime cause it's funny and has a lot of different things that makes it enjoyable, ok I can see why it's mostly a girls anime but that doesn't make it illegal for guys to watch it, if a girl would watch an anime with a lot of violence and blood it wouldn't be weird right, everyone got different taste and yes I like this anime

 

Really good series, ended buying the entire DVD set in under a week. (Although that was like 2-3 months ago)

 

i know its a really good anime,eh? hehehe i really liked it since i first watched it and i would like yuki and tohru to end up together too! i would like to watch the series since my sister's just downloading them ^_^'

 

I have the whole set. I thought I was going to be thinking "Eh..." when I first saw Fruits Basket, since it seemed excruciatingly "cute" and I don't usually like that kind of thing. I was pleasantly surprised to see how wonderful it was and how it avoided a lot of cliches it could have used.

Can't wait for the manga to come out here in the United States so I can have more Furuba.
