Review:
I really liked Fruits Basket both times I watched it, though I'm pretty sure my second watching would've been cut short with boredom had I not been so jaw-on-the-ground shocked at the absolute TONS of implied homosexuality in it that I somehow completely missed the first time I watched it.
Yeah. I missed the gay the first time around. I find it hard to believe, too.
It's a cute show with cute animals and little vignettes that'll make you go all wibbley, but if you're looking for something that doesn't go all wtf stupid at the end, you might want to avoid the anime and read the manga instead. Seriously. Oh, and watch out for the fandom, too. I've heard horror stories about them.
