Ghost of the Rave, Fruits Basket (or Furuba) is about a girl, Tohru, and the Sohma family. Tohru, who is an orphan, has somehow (it's explained in the series) started living in a tent...unknowingly doing so on Sohma property. Good thing that Shigure Sohma and his cousin Yuki (the two who live there) are such kind people. They take Tohru in, and in exchange she cooks and cleans for them. Yuki is in Tohru's grade, and is the school "prince." He even has a fan club. Everything seems to be going great now that she's started living with these kind men, until one fateful day when Tohru discovers that there's a curse on the Sohma family! There are certain members of the family that, if hugged by a member of the opposite sex, will turn into an animal from the Chinese zodiac! No one outside the family had ever been allowed to know of this secret before, and the head of the family is a real scary control-freak, so Tohru's future is quite questionable now.
It's filled with lots of laughs, lots of tears, and just...lots of good. It's a good series, both in manga and in anime form. Fantastic characterization, really. The characters have such depth to them... It's likely to become a favorite of most who watch/read it.

I really don't like the last 3 episodes, tohru acts really stupidly when she finds out about kyo's true form.

02-10-2005, 08:47 PM
i wanna kno what happens!!! Why does Akito pull Tohru's hair??? I never going to find out...I would me 20 by the time the last manga for it comes...(they do it to slow)...and me mum will NEVER fork out the $80 to buy the DVD box set on Amazon..(i don't even wanna kno how much BORDERS wants for it)...*sigh*...Please some one clue me in...it is just gonna tick me off...

02-10-2005, 09:11 PM
Questions (i need to kno)
What happens to Tohru???
Does she have to forget!?!
Does she ever kiss Yuki or Kyo?!!!
What happens to Kyo?!!
Where does he go?!
What about everybody else?!
Does Tohru get hurt!?!
----------------------------------------
all the guys in Fruits Basket are HOT!!!

Dorkie...learn to use the edit button instead of TRIPLE FREAKING POSTING. Okies? And I don't think anyone should answer your questions, really... Just wait for the manga. The anime won't tell you. And if none of us here speak Japanese, therefore have not read the raw versions that have been released already, and so have to wait for it to slowly be released in English, too...then how CAN anyone answer your questions? Ask yourself that.
Lilyangle, Ghost of the Rave asked what it was about...which is why I posted that.
MistaCloudStrife, didn't mention a lot of people... Ayame, Haru, Momiji....the list goes on and on. I gave a basic summary for GotR's sake. I wasn't going to retell the whole thing.
MistaCloudStrife
02-11-2005, 04:22 AM
I was just saying because Kyou was living in the house as well... right after Tohru...
Oh and i only read a bit ahead in the manga... I forgot most of it....
*spoilers kinda?*
It basically goes more into that whole Yuki thing... the one where he got everyones minds wiped... And something about Tohru and Yuki knowing each other back then... kinda.
Oh and it has the rest of the Juuinishi... the horse and rooster and stuff...

02-11-2005, 11:54 PM
Die Tod von Euch..well excuuuuuse me..jeeze, sorry i was just a little too hyper or something..you didn't have to practically virtual yell at me..i am new at this, give me a break...Anyway.
I think it was pretty obvious that Yuki and Tohru kindda knew eachother as little kids, because of the whole "hat" thing..but that is that...and this is this...
And Kyo is HOT !!! -^_^- ...*blushing *...

02-13-2005, 10:43 AM
still stuck in episode 16, why? 'cause don't have the mood to watch any romance anime (for now) although i have a good laugh (very hillarious indeed). If really the curse of Sohma exists , the one who being cursed with it will say something like this to his/her opposite partner "Get away from me", or "Don't hug even though you love me" that will make the partner hate you or leave you alone....

02-13-2005, 11:30 AM
I couldn't help but by the entire box set! Not to mention the soundtrack. I'm obsessed with Furuba, and I usually hate to watch romance. Then again, there's quite a bit of comedy in it, so it's all good! *huggles her Kyo cat plush* Kyo-kun is the bestest!

I didn't really think the ending was much of an ending, though... It wasn't conclusive at all. Which is why I'm following the manga now, too. Since it continues on past what the anime showed. I'd like a real ending, ya know?....

To answer your question about where it comes on... To my knowledge, Fruits Basket does not air on Western TV.... You'll have to buy the anime, just like everyone else.

o_O I didn't think the dub was that bad. And Momiji was a little less nails-on-chalkboard for me in the English one than he was in the Japanese. Although I hated both his voices, really... For the most part, they did a rather good job capturing the characters' personalities with the voices. Sure, not all of them were perfect, but neither were the Japanese cast... Momiji being one example, and my dear sweet Ayame being another (his voice annoyed me in both, too, actually...). But those are to only name a couple. Sigh...don't get me ranting about how just because it's in Japanese, it doesn't really make it better... There are just as many horrible Japanese voice actors as there are English ones...

I agree that the english dubbing was bad! Momiji's voice in japanese is so cute!! Cmpared to english dubbing, it's totally different! But i really prefer the japanese version. Honestly, I think all anime dubs are kind of bad... it doesn't suit the character's criteria!

o_O Like I said in my last post, Momiji's Japanese voice hurt me. A lot. This isn't a thread about dubs vs. subs, so I'll try not to go into my long rant about how not all dubs are utter crap, and how there are a LOT of bad Japanese voice actors. I think a reason why people don't always REALIZE that the Japanese voice actor sucks is because they are not familiar enough with the language and the common inflections to denote different emotions... So, they are unaware that the way the voice actor did it was cheezy/bad/stupid. Also, most sub snobs simply seem to think that just because it's in Japanese, that it's perfect and exactly how it should be. Which isn't true...because bad casting happens in any country. I had a Japanese friend who used to complain all the time about horrible seiyuu, or how this particular seiyuu was a bad choice for this character, and that one for that character, etc.
So, no, the English dubs can't always sound like the Japanese cast. But sometimes that's for the best....trust me.

Wow ... i really love fruits basket... Alot of my friends think it is gay because of the name and i have tried to explain to them that it is a game but they dont listen... Anyway i really like Haru... i think he is just so cute.... also "Prince" Yuki... he is awesome. Kyo i think may be my favorite because i can relate to him. Like his being the cat and being excluded from alot of things.... anyway... I have read all eight volumes that are out and i cannot wait for number 9 to come out this summer... >.< Anyway i would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good laugh and a few teary moments... Like when Kyo shows his true self. ::Shutters and sighs::

Fruits Basket is good not only because it has comedy, but also because it includes many simple, meaningful things needed in humans. :) I think it's a great series.

Okay i post on this one forum like as much as possiple but i have to tell some people the truth about Tohru and Yuki.
As far as I know they will not, I repeat, not be getting together. They only see each other as close friends. When Yuki told Tohru in the manga that he loved her he meant it in the fashion of a mother/son relationship.
He can not see himself and Tohru getting together because thier such close friends, but one thing is for certain, the manga isn't over yet, and there yet may be more romance between the both of them ;) !!!

I really want yuki n tohru to be together! just where did u get such idea? yuki's an innocent boy who never had love before. and expressing it to tohru makes it quite difficult, u see. only tohru could tell his heart whether he's telling the truth or not.

Umm... I've explained this in a few threads but people DON'T LISTEN... =P Kyou is the only one that "love" loves her... So much so that he doesn't want to reveal his love and risk her being hurt by Akito...
Furuba is one of the most original animes I have seen in a while. It has drama, comedy AND romance. You don't get that alot. Plus, Ritsu is hillarious ^_^
I think there are ALOT of anime's with drama romance and comedy... I mean ALOT... Seriously... I mean so much that theres more Drama/Romance/Comedy than just Drama, Romance and Comedy by themselves added together... o.O;;

I really want yuki n tohru to be together! just where did u get such idea? yuki's an innocent boy who never had love before. and expressing it to tohru makes it quite difficult, u see. only tohru could tell his heart whether he's telling the truth or not.
I got this TRUE idea from a site who has accsess to spoilers galore and its true, Yuki only loves Tohru as a mother figure and friend.

The Comedy is out there and hillarious not just thrown in for comic releif like some other Animes do. And the Drama is not the center of it like in some other Animes. And the Romaance is quite enigmatic. What makes Fruits Basket special is that it is quite multi-fasceted and the charictors are very three-dimensional (in personality, not the art, hehe)

Hmmm... I think you got it backward... There's more drama that comedy... either that or they're pretty equal... After the anime(In the manga) they focuz more on Touru breaking the Juuinishi curse... Yes, there is comedy and romance... but alot of it is drama... Problems with the juuinishi animals lives... Problems with Hana and Uotani... And problems with Tohru...
Its mostly drama... Believe me...
And I don't think the comedy is taken to the extreme... Lol... Its just... there. Lol... Yeah, i laughed in some parts but I wasn't rolling on the floor... The only part I really laughed was like... when Shigure was laughing at Tohru for living in a tent... And that was in the beginning of the anime... o.O;;

I've read the first two mangas of that one, and seen up to where I've read in the show. I thought it was funny that the one guy who acts all tough turns into a seahorse. Not much comedy at all unfortunately, but it's still a good manga.

So it is true that many people like FB because of it's hilarious parts. I think it was a funny anime but I never laugh that bad. Maybe it's because I'm not one of those who likes funny animes.

Especially when it turns out Hatsuharu had to ride a bike and those girls were swooning over him. Also the whole thing about Shigure's book is quite funny. Ayames personality is also hillarious, especially when Yuki is involved. :)

I've been talking to a lot of people on this series and this manga and so far everyone I've talked to has said the same thing "It's terrific" but they won't tell me the whole story. They just say it's about a family. When someone falls on them or something they turn into an animal from the chinese sodiac.......oh-kay.....

Okay i post on this one forum like as much as possiple but i have to tell some people the truth about Tohru and Yuki.
As far as I know they will not, I repeat, not be getting together. They only see each other as close friends. When Yuki told Tohru in the manga that he loved her he meant it in the fashion of a mother/son relationship.
He can not see himself and Tohru getting together because thier such close friends, but one thing is for certain, the manga isn't over yet, and there yet may be more romance between the both of them ;) !!!
YES YES YES, at last someone agree with me, I mean yuki & tohru are not suitable to be couples, I say he does love her but he cant see her as a lover or something like that he only see her as a best friend or a mother, bu I realy realy like The manga, i's soooo exciting and I think it's better that the anime, and I can't wait for the last chapters to come out. ^.^:D

I agree that manga is so much better than the anime version! I wish there's FB2!!

He pulls her hair because he wants her to hate him, he wants to be like "I told you so" sort of. When she starts crying, he yells because he would start to cry. She is basically telling him stuff he knows, but refuses to believe.
Know one knows what happens to Tohru yet.
I am not sure if she has to forget..
I believe should would kiss Kyo....Since, they end up together. Yuki falls in love with some student counsil girl. Sorry Yuki/Tohru fans.
Kyo has to beat Yuki in a fight in order to go on living like everyone else after highschool. If not, he must go into the cage. He made a deal with Akito.
Momiji and Kureno aren't cursed anymore. =)
WATER SULLIVAN
Tohru doesn't act stupid! She doesn't know what to do. First off, she sees this really hott orange-haired boy...and then finds out that he really doesn't even look like that. And she is scared of him. She is truely scared of him, she tells him.
MistaCloudStrife
Kyo and Tohru knew each other more, they were actual friends. Kyo remember, though Tohru doesn't. And Kyo is somehow linked to Kyoko's death
Yeah, When I found that out, that was hilarious, I couldn't believe it. There is more to it though. When Akito was younger, his mom and him would fight over what sex he should be, she wanted a boy, and so she won. That is why he is like a boy. Plus Shigure is so close to Akito because he slept with her like four times. Silly Dog. Hahaha
I agree with you onthe drama thing. In the begining to the middle of the Series, its funny, but afterwards, it all goes downhill. It gets dark.
I Personally don't like the idea of having another series of furuba anime. I like it the way it ends. It gives the world a reason to read the manga, which in my opinion, is better.

Kyo has already admitted that he loves Tohru AND Tohru is already in love with him but she refuses to acknolage that beacuse she thinks that if she does then her mother wont be as important to her because Tohru swore on the day Kyoko died that she would be the most important person in Thoru's life so clearly theres no room for Yuki! Also Yuki and Tohru begin to grow further apart (dont get me wrong there still very dear friends!) as Yuki hangs out with the members of the student council more and also he probabley falls in love with one of the student council members named Machi. AND Kyo didn't kill his mom, his mom was a nut job and killed herself becasue she couldn't handle Kyo's other form, DUH!
Did you really?? I didn't really like it...
The Kyou scene was supposed to be only for Kyou and Tohru... I have no idea why Yuki was added into it... -_-
It's sad... Yuki being there just ruined the end for me... I KNOW WHY!!! Because they wanted to show that Yuki also accepted him and wanted to stop the fighting and feuding between the cat and rat that has lasted for centuriee, proving that they are better than Akito who wants them to continue to fight so that Kyo can forever feel as an outcast!

Uhh... Yuki did want to stop the fighting... But uh... He didn't have to be there... He wasn't there in teh manga so there would be no need for him to be in the anime...
He just totally ruined Kyou and Tohru's manga moment...
They prolly put it there so Yuki manga fans couldn't complain about how the anime series ended with Kyou and Tohru's scene... =P

I Personally don't like the idea of having another series of furuba anime. I like it the way it ends. It gives the world a reason to read the manga, which in my opinion, is better.Also Hiro has been freed from the curse which makes the relationship between Kisa and him very hard since they can't hug... Its so sad...
And Kyo new Tohrus mom becuase he would see her every day after school and talk to her. They became friends and one day, when Thoru became lost Kyo promised to find her. When Yuki found her Kyo was devistated because he couldn't save Tohru. When Thoru's mom tried to comfort Kyo he got angry and said the Tohru's mom had brtrayed him. After that day he never spoke to her again.
Then on the day she died, he saw her. Not only did he see her, he saw the car that hit her comming. He had to make a choice: To grab her and expose his secret, or to let her die and remain a secret. He chose his own selfish desires and Thoru's mom died...
OMG!!! That is so freakin' sad!!! I can't believe it. I mean c'mon. How are they gonna love each other now???
Also, Akito has realized that it is all 'her' fault for everyone hating her. And she confronted Kureno about it saying that he was free to leave. But Kureno chose to stay, not because he loves 'her', but because he wanted to help her realize the truth that she could love the zodiac members. Drove into a rage of maddness, Akito jumps onto Kureno and stabs him in the back with a KNIFE!!! saying that he should have left when he had the chance!
P.S. I think Yuki and Kagura should get together.
P.P.S. I also think that Shigure and Saki Hanajima should get together, his bouncy personality and her mature nature would balance each other out and they'd be complete! I mean is Arisa Uotani gets Kureno, if Kureno doesn't die, then shouldn't Saki get someone too???

What's up with you guys?! In the end of the anime, Tohru, kyo and Yuki are friends! Not that one of them are couple? That's all wrong! Their friendship should not be destroyed becouse "you" want Tohru to be together with Yuki or Kyo! They really should stick together as friends! I hope you guys didn't get angry or something. I just wanted you to know what i mean...:(Not to be rude but I never said that. Yuki doesn't LIKE Tohru in that way! He views her as a motherly figure and a close friend, nothing more. I don't know where you got out of it that we didn't want Yuki Kyo or Tohru to still be friends, gawd...

I just don't feel the ending that i saw on tv cuz its kinda early for it to end, i guess! Im looking forward for an ending that would give justice to the story. What will happen to the Sohma's curse? What will happen to Kyo+Tohru+Yuki relationship?

Iv'e got this chance to read the manga from volume 10 to 18up to chapter105 and after reading...it makes me wanna read more as if no stopping. And for now, Im waiting for the enlish translation of volume 19 to be updated on the site hosting furuba since the said volume has been released recently in the market. I've heard that volume 19 is focusing mainly on Kyo+tohru relationship & circumstances regarding the curse threatens them apart. Waahh! wak naman sana!!!:(
