Product Description:
Fruits Basket episodes 20 - 26:To say that Tohru Honda’s life in the Sohma household has been difficult would be quite the understatement. She has learned to adapt to a constantly changing environment to selflessly put others before herself and to courageously face her own inner demons. But even despite all the trauma and heartache Tohru will discover a reality far worse than any nightmare when she learns Kyo’s shocking inner secret. Tohru heads toward the crossroads of her fate. Which path she takes will determine how much she has truly learned about others…and herself.System Requirements:Running time: 143 Copyright Goldhil 2003Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating: NR UPC: 704400030987 Manufacturer No: FN03098

I feel like such a jelly bun now… by ESJ
This is possibly one of the best anime drama series I’ve ever watched! Yes, they have some stupid things thrown in like over-reactions, but it’s anime. It made me teary-eyed, yes, through laughing and crying.

I have watched all the episodes and I thought the ending sucked badly. It was wrapped up too fast… If you ask me, I think even if they had made Episodes #27 to #30, it wouldn’t be enough (for me, at least)!

Although we manga readers know who Tohru loves in the end, I was expecting a little more love between Tohru and Kyo (who was shouting at her a lot in the first few episodes). I’m so sad that they have decided not to make Season 2 for Furutsu Basuketto. Please make Season 2… I beg you…

You will feel so much that, you just want to face the charicters and cry for all of them( exept akito usually) by
During the first three episodes Tohru Honda visits a friendly , yet sightly perverted, Ayame Sohma and his womens cothing store, meets the enveyous Hiro Sohma and understands why he lashes out at Tohru’s friendship with Kisa Sohma, and then meets the EXTREEMLY insane yet kind and thoughtful Ristu Sohma.

That is not as convinsingly moving as my review title eh?

Well you didnt let me go on to the last three episodes.

Tohru Honda is an optimistic warm hearted young girl who lives with a new family since the untimely death of her mother. One of the three young men she lives with, Kyo Sohma , is one of the many Sohmas cursed with an evil animal spirit. Kyo, however lives with the worst of all of the curses. When the beaded bracelet he wares comes off his wrist , his true cursed form comes forth; a freakishly hiddious beast. Kyo’s martial arts master involves the removal of Kyo’s braclet one day…This isnt the worst of it, it happens before Tohru and she is given the greatest burden she edured since the realization of her mothers death, faceing and accepting the grotesque beast that is the zodiac Sohma curse. What is worse, Akito Shoma stops hideing HIS evil side and attempts to crush Tohru’s soul with what is the darkest cloud of hate he can put in to her. At the same time Akito virtually begs her to calm Kyo’s relentless spirit. Ok, I idmit that I am not the best at discribing a tear jerking sequence but hear me out, the last three episodes will with out a doubt, make you flood your shirt with tears.

Sorry if I bored you-Colleen Krizak-

This is good…but the Manga is better. by FuRuBa_FaN ^_^
This anime is great, but if you read the manga then you should be disappointed. Although they followed the story line pretty good, they totally messed it up in the end, with Kyo, Tohru, Yuki, and Kazuma. In the manga it was totally different, and Shigure barely had anything to do with it. Akito wasn’t there, either. Although I know that they had to end it somehow and that they couldn’t just wait for the series to be done (although if they wanted to make it good then they should have done just that), they could have made it a little more like the book. I’m not talking about just this volume, but the whole series. The anime was great and i liked it a lot, but it didn’t do the manga justice.

KICK ASS ANIME!!! by
