Don't ask me why it’s called that, I once thought I knew why, but yet it still puzzles me.
What is it?
Well yes it is an anime one that really showed all emotions in its utterly amazing but short number of episodes. 26 to be exact. It make you laugh, gasp, smile, say aww, tremble, wonder, think and cry...and it will even make you say "did that boy just turn into a cat!?"
The shows follow the story of a young Miss Tohru Honda, who was recently lost her mother, Kyoko Honda, in a car accident. After that she begins to live in a tent, but soon is discover by Yuki Sohma (a boy from her school) and his cousin Shigure Sohma... They then invited her to live in their house. It is not soon after that when another member of the Sohma family Kyo, literally drops in, that she discovers there family secret, that whenever they are hugged by a person of the opposite gender they transform into an animal of the zodiac as well as the cat. Shigure being the dog, Yuki the rat and Kyo the cat.
After she promises to keep their secret, she begins to become fast friends with Yuki and Kyo and helps them open up and talk about their problems. Then as the storyline progresses she meets the other members of the cursed Sohma family, and the feared head of the family Akito Sohma.
It is truly a wonderful anime...though the ending is not at all what I expected and still puzzles me. But I know I say it for nearly all anime...of how i wish i could jump inside the T.V and hug the characters...this time i truly did. Especially in the last few episodes I felt as if I was Tohru and that I needed to be there form the Sohmas.
No I did not actually cry there was no water...but I felt the silent ones inside me well up.
For fruits basket by lauren bailey:
I was so happy when you smiled
Your smile breaks through the clouds of grey
Far from the sunny days that lie in sleep
Waiting with patience for the spring
When the flowers will bloom renewed again
Knowing there's more beyond the pain of today
Although the scars of yesterday remain
You can keep on living as much as your heart believes
You can't be born again
All though you can change
Let's stay together always
he is stunning =)
