I'm not normally one for shoujo anime, but I think that Fruits Basket it an enjoyable must for fans who want to watch something that's heart warming, thought provoking, incredibly sweet and offers a slice of life.
Whilst the artwork is old style, it's very appealing to the eye. It also has a lovely little soundtrack, plus one of the nicest opening themes you could ask for.
The wise range of characters makes there a lot for this show to offer, as you take a look into their lives and find reasons to both laugh and cry and you will.
it's a very touching, very lovely story.
The only fault that anyone will find will be the fact that the ending leaves a lot to be explained. Apparently at the time, there was a fight between the seiyu actors and they had to cut the series short. And out of a 23 volume manga, the show covers about the first 7. So if you want to find out what happens next and in some cases, what really happened, I suggest you hunt them down.
But the show itself offers enough to be thoroughlly enjoyed and definately leaves you curious to find out more.
