You're review was great! Thanks alot, I was contemplating checking into this series, but wasn't sure what was in it . . . now I know it sounds even better than I thought! Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to seeing it myself!

It's been awhile since I've watched the series (a year I think) I didn't remember it being to overtly homosexual nor do I remember Shigure being gay. Maybe it's just me and my bad memory.

Anywho the anime is hysterical Shigure made my laugh the entire time. It was crazy fun!

Sorry, I didn't see this a long time ago. :sweat:

Well, if you remember any of the scenes between Shigure and Ayame, then I'm sure you'll remember a few comments that passed between the two. You're correct, the series is not frankly homosexual (and that's not what I wrote in the review - however, there is some content - even if could be interpretted as simply joking. It's in the series, therefore it must be mentioned in the review.

Yeah, Shigure was one of my favorites, second only to Tohru.

Well (brag brag braaaag!), I just got the Memory for You CD soundtrack. It's ... not as good as I'd hoped, and it seems like not all the BGM tracks made it. However, the on-air versions of the intro and ending themes are here, several forms of the "memory" Tooru theme (including the really upbeat one with the high rhythm part), and the lovely waltz. What's missing seems to be some of the quick incidentals, which I thought were really the soul of the show.

I really liked Laura Bailey's rendition of the English version of the songs in the dub, though, so I guess I'll have to rip it on the Mac with WireTap.

Yeah, I was quite impressed that the anime followed the first volume almost frame for frame. For some reason, I'm liking Yuki a lot more in the manga than I did the anime. Strange. I'm liking the clean art style of the manga very much as well.

Well, I finally bought and saw all of the Fruits Baskte anime! I LOVE IT! I can't believe there is such an awesome anime out there! Thanks again for your review, it made me want to go out and get it! I am reading the manga version too! ^_^

I haven't seen the anime but I've seen pics of anime-Yuki. You probably like him better because he looks less like a girl in the manga.

This very well could be.

Belldandy! You changed your name!! How disturbing. :eh:

And I agree, when it comes down to just the rat and the cat, I'm on the kitty's side.

YAY! Cat fan! *hugs Gypsy*
Yea . . . I changed my name . . . don't hurt me! *hides behind chair* ^_^'

I just finished watching the last DVD yesterday, I can't believe I cried! Its soooo sad, but ood as well! I really hope there is a second season coming out one day! If you can believe it, when I put the DVD in it was cloudy and when the last 3 episodes started it started pouring and storming like in the episodes! Weird huh? Nice setting for the mood though!

God was mentioned in the telling of how the animals became part of the Zodiac. (yes, that was funny: quote: "the pooor kitty cat!") I liked that, that I did. Made the book even better. (and is that possible? heh!)

Go Kitties!! (I was Kyou on the Furiba test , I am violent.... AND NICE!!) I used to raise rats when I was very little. But I have the most loving and well mannered cat in the world. His name is Kitty.

Good job Gypsy!

Those icons are cute!

I just love this series, and now I'm finally actually getting around to buying the manga. The 3rd one comes out soon too!

Postby **Dark_angel** » Mon May 31, 2004 2:16 pm

Well, I saw all of the series cause I got the DVD, but I only own the first 2 of the manga, I wish the rest could come out as soon as possible.

That was a very nice review. Quite detailed. ::applause:: Yes, I completely recommend Fruits Basket. Buy the DVDs and all the manga [as they are released] and take them everywhere with you... just to make sure they're safe. : )
