This review is from: Fruits Basket: Volume Three - Puddles of Memories (DVD)
This volume of Fruits Basket unfolds much at the same pace as the previous two. We are finally properly introduced to Akito, the head of the Sohma family, and, as suspected, he is not a very reassuring person, in fact, he is downright scary. Tohru is also introduced to two other members of the Zodiac, the first being Ayame, Yuki's previously unmentionned older brother. Ayame is quite similar to Shigure, except that he is even more of a tease, much flashier and much less insightful (although he does eventually prove he can be something more than an immature show-off, if only for a few seconds). The second new character is Kisa, a little girl who desperately needs just the kind of love Tohru is capable of giving. Also, in what I found to be the least interesting episode, the Yuki Fanclub hatches a scheme to get rid of Tohru.I rated this volume five stars, because I think it contains enough new developments and enough humour and touching moments to keep us interested, but, in comparison to the previous two volumes, my rating would probably be closer to 4 1/2 stars. For one thing, I felt Yuki got too much of the spotlight, since many of the episodes centered around his relationship with other characters, such as Akito, Ayame and the Fangirls. Kyo hardly gets any crucial moments, except in the last episode, in which he shows a rare display of affection towards Tohru. Also, although Kisa is quite a likeable character, her arrival doesn't really teach us anything new, it merely repeats the message of courage, perseverance and trust in other people's kindness. Finally, the episode with the Fangirls would have been pointless, had it not introduced Hana's little brother Megumi, who doesn't even appear after that anymore. Nevertheless, this 3rd volume is still extremely enjoyable, as it continues to deepen the bonds between the main characters and reveal their secrets one by one. Despite not being quite as consistantly good as the first two, it remains an excellent anime, conveying the same inspiring impression of the strength and fragility of love and happiness.

Superb,
This review is from: Fruits Basket: Volume Three - Puddles of Memories (DVD)
Fruits Basket is quite an interesting anime, at first the show seems to over the top, and can turn off potential viewers with the giant eyes and the crazy fan club girls, but on episode two the show really kicks off, and with the introduction of new characters, each of whom are unique and different in their own way and devolop quite a bit over the course of the series, the show becomes even funnier, as a note Fruits Basket has an amazing dub, for those who like dubs, in fact, most of the time I watch this series dubbed. As a note I consider the Fruits Basket DVDs to be really the first truely amazingly done DVDS, at the time (Or at least to my knowledge) most Anime discs had 2-5 episodes and th only features were textless endings (Can you say crappy and boring?) but Fruits basket has not only previews for other Funimation stuff, but interviews, a documentary of the "eye catches" (Which are explained in the documentry) and even behind the scenes footage. AND 6 episodes per disc, and the disc has 3 regions, any fan of special features would freak out, why the only way they could get any better would be is if it came with a poster or something rather. Overall I suguest Fruits Basket to anyone who is willing to give it a chance, the anime has elements from many genres and is a perfect balance of Comedy and Character devolopment. Buy it today.
