Amesome. The one word to describe this anime. A favorite one for a very long time, very hard to beat this one. A very interesting and heart warming story, that you will abousolutly fall in love with. The charaters will defenitely make you wish they were real. Its a very funny and fun anime. You start to see the begings of a relationship but it is unfourtally cut short because it is an anime, but it has some very interesting stories about the charaters some will make you laugh sooo hard others will make you ball your eyes out, its one of those animes that will touch your heart. I highly recomend to anyone boys, girls, no matter what animes you like you will LOVE fruits basket, i promise you.(:
 Fruits basket (or “Furuba” as it’s known to fans >me<)  is an anime based on the manga made by Natsuki Takaya the maker of the manga tsubasa O motsu Mono(Those with wings) and Geneimusou. Be ready to watch an anime with drama, comedy, and a bit of romance.
The inability to know when to take itself seriously and when to be funny has been the bane of many anime. Luckily for its viewers, Fruits Basket can make you laugh and cry in the same episode while offering some highly intriguing characters and memorable character relationships. Sadly, though, all Fruits Basket does is give us a mere glimpse of characters that deserve far more screen time. It’s like viewing the Constitution in Washington D.C.; you get a satisfying peek at something amazing only to be told to move along far too soon.
Fruits Basket without its character interactions it pratically would be like Coke without its fizz. Whenever two characters are on the screen at once you know something good is coming. To name just a few isn’t doing Fruits Basket justice. From Yuki and Kyou’s rivalry, to Shigure’s torturing of his editor, to Hiro (Dr. House in a 6th grader’s body) and his kind and caring younger cousin Kisa, you will always be entertained both by laughter and intrigue.
Many comedic moments in Fruits Basket were banal, often due to rehashing an already not funny joke, such as Tohru freaking out when she accidentally causes a member of the Zodiac to transform. Thankfully, just as often as it isn’t funny, Fruits Basket will make you crack a smile if not laugh hysterically. Staying true to its nature as a romantic drama, Fruits Basket has its share of serious heartfelt moments, some of which are quite profound. Anyone who’s ever been burned in a relationship or suffers from low self esteem can learn something from watching Fruits Basket. How often is that true of an anime that’s also incredibly fun to watch.
The turn offs for this anime might be that it was made in 2001 and the art might not as appealing as some of the “new” aniem that are out but Furuba’s story is unforgettable and will make you want to watch it again and again and maybe one more time XD
Another thing that might be dissapointing is that the 26 episode fruits basket series only covers volume 1-8 which might leave some questions with no answers so if you like fruits basket and want to know more there are 23 volumes of fruits basket waiting to be read.
Hope this review helped some people enjoy a true original anime
