Fruits Basket is not like most shows, and it's story line is very different from other shows. Fruits Basket is a mixture of comedy, and drama. There are parts in the 26 episode series that will make you laugh, cry, and even sympathize with the characters. The story is about a girl named Tohru Honda whose mother had just died recently. She is living by herself in a tent in the woods when she runs into her classmate, Yuki Sohma and his older cousin Shigure. They own the woods around their house and so they offer Tohru a place to stay in their house. She accepts their offer. This is not a normal story, however, since the Sohmas are cursed by the Chinese Zodiac. When they hugg a member of the opposite sex or they get under pressure, they turn into animals. So she meets the other members of the Zodiac curse and becomes a part of Yuki's family. So this story is a story about how she helps them, and how they help her get through the troubles of life. This is my favorite Anime, and I'm sure you will like it also once you see it. If you want to see it, you can but the DVD's in English or download Japanese episodes with English subtitles on the internet. The language really makes no difference in the content, however I think Japanese voices are better and that's my personal opinion. The manga for Fruits Basket has recently been licensed and is nearing completion. After watching the anime, if you really enjoyed it, then you should definately read the manga.
