Fruits Basket - What Becomes of Snow Reviews
So sweet makes my teeth hurt!
I really like this anime, but it is very sweet, and a little sad at times, but I love it! It is funny, cute, sad, and happy all at the same time! I think everyone can find a character that they realte to or admire. It's has really good animation, the music is fun and new, plus it's filled with magic. It's great how all the characters interact together, most are a little over the top, but very entertaining! I recomend and hope you watch and enjoy this anime series!
Forever Furuba
'Furuba' is how many fans of the anime refer to this series. I became interested in it before I knew they had translated it to English and bought my subtitled DVDs from Hong Kong courtesy of EBay. ;-)
Tohru is an ordinary high school girl with a good heart who tends to see the good in people. This has a tendency to bring out the good in the people she befriends, such as Uo, a former Yankee (gang member) and Hana (troublemaker from another school with the ability to sense things psychically).
Before the beginning of the story, Tohru's mother dies when she's hit by a truck so Tohru goes to live with her paternal grandfather. When her grandfather's house is being remodeled to accommodate still more family, Tohru tells her grandfather that she will be all right and stay with her friends. Still, she knows that Hana has a large family and has no room and Uo has only one small room that she rents and that they really have no room; so she decides on her own to go and live in the woods while the renovations are underway.
After all this is when this charming and engaging story begins. Through a series of misadventures and an accidental discovery, Tohru finds herself earning her keep as a housekeeper for Sohma Shigure rather than sleeping in the forest. Her housemates are Sohma Yuki and Sohma Kyo.
It's not what you're thinking. She discovers a dark family secret of theirs (no, she's not blackmailing them) which enables her to become good friends as well as staying with them until the renovations are complete. You see, when they are hugged by a member of the opposite sex, they turn into animals representing characters from the legend behind the Chinese zodiac. Yuki becomes the rat, Shigure the dog -- and Kyo's the cat who was tricked and then left behind.
The story continues from there as we meet the rest of the members of the Sohma clan, at least the ones most important to the story.
My daughter's disgusted with me but I'm rather fond of the series. At least, she claims to be; but she's looking up newer issues of the manga online. ;-)
