Fruits Basket

 

This hilarious show starts with a young high school girl named Tohru Honda that starts living in a tent trying to support herself after her mom dies.Then, one day, one of her classmates,Yuki Sohma, discovers her living there and tells her that she's living on his land.But, instead of kicking her out, he invites her to stay at his house.Besides, Yuki there are two more residents that live at the house who are his cousins Kyo and Shigure.I just loved watching Yuki and Kyo getting under each other's skin and how they kept on fighting for her attention almost the entire show.I also liked Shigure's laid back personality but I think he needs to find a better job that suits his personality because he's an author and all throughout this anime his editor has been breathing down his neck because he doesn't or barely meets the deadlines.

Anyway, Tohru's starting to get used to her new living situation when one day she hugs Yuki and her turns into a mouse.Tohru is obviously shocked at how this could be possible until he explained that his family has been living under a curse.Twelve members of his family are possessed by the spirits of the Chinese Zodiac and are able to turn into that particular animal if they are hugged by the opposite sex or under a lot of stress.Tohru being as good natured girl that she is promises not to tell anybody and life goes on.

Unfortunately, her life is about to have a lot of weird twists and turns added to it.The other possessed family members keep showing up with each their own set of problems and now that she's knows their little secret she keeps getting tangled up in there problems plus she has made it a bit of her mission to somehow break their curse once and for all.How she'll accomplish that feat would have to be any one's guess.Also, when it comes to the romance part of this anime I wonder who will she choose.I think it should be Kyo who is also by the way the cat which kind of explains why the two of them are always at each other's throats.Anyway, I think Tohru should be with Kyo because he's obviously has a crush on her, he's just to hot headed and stubborn to admit it and when the someone else puts the moves on her or is mean to her he doesn't hesitate to go into action.

This anime is funny, magical, tragic, romantic and heart warming I really think that anybody who reads or watches this story unfold would come to love it.I recommend this to anybody that loves curses, romance, friendship and lots of comedy.

Thanks for Reading!
