It is like my favorite thing in the world! The manga is so much better though but the anime is still good! The anime had more humor while the manga went into more depth and detail. The anime stops on volume 8 of the manga. so far there are 13 volumes in the US. book 14 comes out 8/8/06 The theme song is liek my fave too.
16 year old Tohru Honda is living in a tent beacuse her grandfather is having some remodeling done. She didnt' want to bother her two friends. She is taken in by the mysterious Sohma family with a big secret. Now she is living with the prince of her school, Yuki Sohma and his hot headed cousin Kyo Sohma. She finds out that they are cursed and accepts them and heals the whole Sohma family little by little.
Spoliers!
Curse: The Sohma Curse is a zodiac curse. There are 13 cursed members. They are possed by the spirits of the chinese zodiac. They have no special powers... but they can contact with their animal. When they are hugged by the opposite sex or under a lot of stress they transform.

It "Fruits Basket" not Fruit Baskets. I like this anime. It so funny and touching.
Yes, this is a good anime about a young high-school girl, Honda Tohru. Having lost her mother in a car accident, she has come to live alone in a tent in the forest near her school. Never a quiitter, she strives to honor her mother's memory and work hard to do the best she can with her life.
One day, she happens across a house in the woods, not far from her makeshift abode. The residents, Sohma Yuki and his cousin Shigure, aren't total strangers. Sohma is the coolest guy at Tohru's school! And meet other family member and then found their secret.
Fruits basket has 26 episodes. The anime version make me dissappointed with the ending. If you want to know the story after the anime strory you must read the manga.
Spoiler :
Akito is a girl !
Tohru love Kyo (this is what i wanted from Furuba)!
This is a good anime. I recomended you watch and read the manga.

Whether you think its good or not its a matter of opinion-it all depends what kind of anime do you like. I personally like this anime its really good- it has romance and it has its sad and funny moments.
Summary; After Tohru Honda looses her mom in a car accident she is left with no home and is forced to live outside in a tent. A classmate Yuki Sohma (which happens to be the most popular guy in school) sees her and offers her to help her...but she soons finds out that YUki's family has a huge secret-whenever a member of the Sohma family is hugged by a someone of the opposite sex they turn into one of the animals of the zodiac. As the story progresses tohru sees how each member of zodiac has to suffer by carrying this curse. Throughout the course of the stroy the zodiac members become very attached to her....but there is only one problem Akito (the head of Sohma family) wants to get rid her.....In the story the main focus is the love triangle between kyo(a member of the Sohma family)-Tohru-and Yuki. Also they all trying to figure out how to break the curse..

The show is great and filled w/ drama, lots of comedy, romance, and all that good stuff but, if you plan on getting into this show I recommend that you read the manga. The show has 26 episodes that only go up to volume 6 in the manga. The anime leaves alot of questions unanswered and there are no plans to release more episodes in Japan. The manga however is up to around 20 volumes (13 released in America) and is still going strong. All together though Fruits Basket rocks and I defiantly recommend it ~.^

The anime is ok i guess, but the manga is so much better, the theme song is good. The manga is so much longer and detailed and is more of a Kyo and Tohru kind of thing, but the anime is more of a Yuki Tohru kind of thing. The anime is short and ends weirdly and so far there will not be a sequel it ends at book 8. go to

Though everyone seems to have something to say about it, it is worth watching. I'm actually the youngest person where I work and everyone that borrows my DVD's loves it. These are people that are 35+ and have no clue what anime is. The only negative feedback, I ever get from them is
"Where is the rest of it?"
So, if you like something cute and meaningful, this is a great one.

I LOVE Fruits Basket (A.K.A. Furuba). I enjoy the series and I think you might too if you haven't already seen or read it. That is, if you enjoy anime that is comedy, drama, and romance.
