![]() Well healing traumas and causing traumas is only a difference of one word am I right? No? I should get help? Haha you're funny.ĭon't even get me started on her presence and characterization. Man I wish real teenagers were like that but they're all too busy tiktoking and calling me old even though I am only a couple of years older. but Nope, we're supposed to believe that a teenager's kind words are enough to heal the trauma of any person she meets. If her supposed wisdom was a supernatural element in the story and is something like she's a reincarnation of a kind maiden or some crap like that then I'd at least enjoy her character at least a little. But that all would have been fine with me if she undergone at least SOME DEVELOPMENT, but nope, we're up to episode 20 and she's still as kind and submssive as a rug, well probably kinder since a rug can static shock you but Tohru could never! She'll just smile in a corner and spout some words of wisdom that will heal anyone's soul. Tohru embodies most things I hate in a female heroine: clumsy, dense, and RIDICULOUSLY SUBMISSIVE. Okay, maybe I am being overly cynical but I am so sick of all these weak heroines in shoujos. GIRLS! forget standing up for yourself and shaping your life, just have your mom killed, your extended relatives kick you out and then settle to live in a tent in the yard of the most popular boy in your school. She's so ridiclously dumb and wise at the same time, but hey she's cute so that's okay right? Oh she's also extremely shy and never stands up for herself, well ain't that a great example to set for future generations. You see Tohru is not a bad person, actually she's kind. If that's not a bad sign I don't know what is. I LITERALLY ended up loving EVERY SINGLE character aside from her. And that, perhaps is the biggest reason why I disliked this show. They all undergo some sort of development, well, everyone EXCEPT Tohru. Most characters in this show are actually really likeable and nice. We have just gotten to the worst offender. No complaints here,Īgain, good voice acting and a nice soundtrack. Solid animations with crisp clarity and good character designs. Sadly, despite its unique-ish premise, this anime really dissapointed me in other areas. I am a sucker for slice of life animes and if you add a supernatural element and some drama for tension then I am hooked. Seriously though, storywise, I actually really liked the premise. But wait! there's more, we got an interesting supernatural element to blend in this otherwise bland shoujo/reverse-harem. uncle? (I really can't remember their relationship). We get our usual reverse-harem setup with our heroine having to live in the house of the most popular boy in class with his hot cousin and.creepy. #Fruits basket click and drag fullSo we got our main heroine that lost her home and mother and decides to live in a tent that so happens to be on the land of the Sohmas, a family conveiniently full of cute boys with issues. This isn't meant as an attack to the show or anyone who enjoys it, just constructive criticism and an extra perspectve for anyone considering to watch this. And I am writing this to add perspective among a boatload of glowing reviews. I still can't fathom all the praise this show receives and its position as one of the classics. Okay, jokes aside, I watched the original Fruits Basket back in elementary school and I seem to remember enjoying it (somewhat?) so I decided to give this show a shot for the sake of nostalgia, but boy did it dissapoint. Tohru with her miraculous power to heal your trauma. Tohru, oh sweet Tohru, what are you doing acting like a psychatiarist in that house? You're a teenager and trying to solve that person's trauma and problems, stop, let him see a psychatiarist you can't.What? You talked to him and now his entire trauma healed? Well okay but just because it worked this tim.What? It worked again? and again? Jeez Tohru stop wasting time in that house and open your own clinic, I can already see it. ![]()
