Anime Book 2

Fruits Basket episode 2

For the wonderful Kaori--Miyazono

Well, picking upbwhere the last episode left off, we have all the family turning into different animals. The animals of the chinese Zodiacs, which is a pretty interesting concept both in nature and humor, the fact that they turn back naked was also pretty funny. There are some things that honestly really make this episode great. Firstly you have Yuki and Koul(I think, correct me Lexie) and their rivalry based on the Zodiac story. Of how the Rat tricked the cat, and the cat is pissed about it, which also explains the characters temper, and want to beat Yuki. Speaking of Yuki, we get into some pretty deep stuff about how he's afraid of people knowing his secret, scared to be alone. I honestly really love Yuki's character, he very leaned back, has a cool, yet very gentlemanly manor, he's just about as good as Tohru. With Tohru, i was very Meh about her at first glance, but she has her development besides her being a mom's girl. Her never give up mentality makes her strong and hardworking(see the Clip above)
Though she is also kind, and well spoken. One things about this show is, every major character is likeable, you can't really antagonize anyone, except maybe the houses head Akito, i really wants to know what that guy looks like, but he sounds harsh initially. Also, now that i took time to listen, the dubbing is actually pretty good, Tohru's in particular is growing on me. I wouldn't call it Black Butler great, but it's good enough.
By the way romance blossoms(mega ship for Yuki and Tohru.)

Overall: does it fall into cliches? Sure, but does that stop me from enjoying it's sense of humor, characters, and creative plot, No! 9/10, happy to watch again, and read some.
Do you think i should update the Manga reviews? Tell me fam!
