I watch this back in the days i was just a naiv young and new anime lover and better did i know to watch fruits basket. (this all happend little over a year ago but who cares)

It's like when you first start the whole "i love anime" - train there are some anime there are just handed to you and just some anime you gotta watch when you are new..... I am not saying that it happends for everyone but to me it did... I started out watching the basic - naruto, bleach, DN angel, ouran high school host club and then FRUITS ... BASKET!

It never really got to me like REALLY, but it's first nao when i can compare it to other animes that i realise how BAD it is..... it's not like it's watchable, heck i got trough it and i think it's good as a start out! so if you are new you can watch it, but don't expect to much cause it's not that GREAT! Cause first of all

:: Story ::
6/10
The story has a good potential i mean girl lose her mother, girl live in a tent, girl meets sweet and wanted boy, boy has a secret, girl comes to live with the boy and his family, girl founds out the secret, new bad boy comes, treesome, who is the girl gonna choose? - Heck that has good potential especially when you get all the details in order, but i left them out not to ruin it all..... BUT they don't really catch it.... i mean sure sometimes the makers almost get it and is so close to gettting it but then it falls and keep falling!

Art is decent and more like poor... I hate the old anime style... it's like DN angel but the different is DN angel story and everything is better and the art is more detailed too! In fruits basket there are very light colors and i just find it argrgrhrgg.... so if that is you watch it!

I can't remember any music soo it must not be to great but i admit if it derserves better, maybe.... But to be hones i don't really care about the music so much!

:: Character ::
7/10
The characters are actually quit fine.... and so good potential!

Tohru:
She is one of those sweet nice girls! She is selflesh and she is loved by EVERYONE and sorry i don't think there is much more to her than that... there is no passion in her... just the plain selflesh, loved, sweet girl and you kinda feel sorry for her along the way (which i'm not gonna spoil) she is just kinda boring, sorry and she kinda irritates me!

Yuki:
is a guy (or girl) at first a was in doubt.... he is a guy! - every girl loves him and he is nice and cute and yearh.. he begins to fall for tohru! again not much passion and just palin sweet boy!

Kyo:
he is probably my favorite.. He is edgy and first i think he founds tohru irritating but then begins to fall for her! He is almost everything not is! totally reverse personality!

There are more characters for example Yuki's friends which i find quit enjoyable! and then the family of Kyo and Yuki ( they are cousins i think) is quit full of secrets...

almost all characters has a tragic past and it makes you feel sorry for them!

5/5
I watched it so TOTALLY BAD it couldn't have been... but it's not like i wanna watch it again it's just no THAT good.... some episodes are good, some are really boring and i want an anime that can catch me and keep me going not an anime that are sometimes alright and sometimes just boring!

:: Overall ::
5/5
Like i said not something i would recommend, but if you are new it can be a good start! - Nothing special about it!

When i sat down and watched this movie i was like pulled in another universe! i couldn't forget it for years! until i found it at a store and bought it right away! and really it shouldn't be that good! cause when you think about the story line it's not plot twisting or really action and exciting.. but still you can't help but sit on the edge all the time and you can't help but love it!

and this is not a lie i've watched this 6-7 times! it's fantastic.

I know i've said the story isn't great if you read the ... summary, but ghibli studio makes it good, no they make it fantastic! It's clean, simple and still there is this mystery about it! Like something bigger is hidden beneath.

:: Art ::
10/10
The art is really outstanding it whats draw you in the movie it makes you feel in it and the soft lines, fantastic fantasy not to mention the tender colors they have it makes it worth you time!!

:: Sound ::
9/10
I will admit that i don't really notice the sound much so to me it's not a big deal! but i couldn't believe that the sound was anything but good.

:: Character ::
9/10
There are four "main" characters.

Chihiro: She is a fun and light character, she is pretty normal i think! easily get scared but who wouldn't be in her situation? She is sweet, kind and you can't help but love her!

Haku: He is a mystery! and with him there are a few suprises. He is acting hard and tough on the outside but i think he is more soft inside. He is pretty cool and somehow he has like he needs to protect Chihiro

Yubaba and Lin are side characters actually there are few more but even the side characters are well done and have their own unique personality!

As said before this movie with it's simple story still keeps you one the edge and draw you in with the amazing world, color, drawings and characters!

:: Overall ::
10/10
It's EPIC and you should defiantly watch it otherwise you're missing out!
