Description
Fruits Basket is an interesting
anime to watch. It focuses on character as opposed to plot. In fact, there is little to no plot, only a premise that the show works around. And yet, it manages to captivate its audience thanks to the outstanding cast.
The early episodes follow the same pattern: a new character is introduced in each episode, and the later portion of the series serves to develop each further. In most cases, this formulaic style would become repetitive, but the amazing characters more than make up for it. The first thing that caught my eye was the character designs. From the sickeningly cute Momiji to the stylish Kyou, all the designs are interesting and unique. Aside from their appearances, the interactions between Tohru and the Souma family make Fruits Basket truly memorable. Their relationships allow for each of their personalities to be fully expressed. The seiyuu performances add to it all and truly bring it to life (featuring two of my favorite seiyuu: Tomokazu Seki and Horie Yui).
The second half of the series falls into a bit of a slump, though. There are a few episodes that feel out of place, and it would have been more beneficial to have used this time to develop the main characters even further rather than dedicating time to a few of the more obscure ones. The ending is also a mixed bag. The last three episodes are a real roller coaster ride. For the most part it's really well done, but the final half of the last episode make it less enjoyable. The confrontation with the villainous figure seems rushed and clichéd. It doesn't really give any feelings of closure, and the conclusion is a bit too open-ended.
Although there are a few rough spots, Fruits Basket is still a wonderful show. There are so many excellent characters that appeal to a wide variety of personalities that it is difficult not to love at least one of them. This anime won't appeal to everyone, but those who watch it are in for a real treat.
