Flail! meme styled: Fruits Basket

[ky09]

On a whim recently, I decided to re-dl the whole Fruits Basket anime. The ones I already had were... pretty low quality, so I thought, "Hey, why not?"

After I finished downloading the torrent, I skimmed through episodes just to check the quality and all that... I didn't plan to watch the whole thang... but I did... in the past few days... So like usual, I'm having a bit of a withdrawal symptom now that I've finished it. (lol)

I can't remember when the last time I watched Furuba was, but I found myself going "OhhHHhhHH, I get the joke now" or "Wow, that was darker than I thought" and stuff like that. Noticing things I didn't notice the last time I watched it, understanding the perverted jokes (lmao) better now and etc.

Since I'm in withdrawal mode, I really just want to talk about the anime, so I scoured the internet for a meme/survey kind of thing. (hahah)

Le Series Meme. 2013 edition!

My chosen Series: Fruits Basket (originally taken off here. I changed it up a bit so I could just talk about one show. XD)

1. Who is your least favourite character?
- If I minus out the non-Sohmas then I'm sorry to say... Hiro. Ok, I get that he's just a kid, and he expresses his emotions differently and whatever, but no. I don't like his condescending and judgemental attitude. Especially since he's just a kid.

2. Who is your favourite character?
- Ahh... Such a hard question. I vaguely remember that before I rewatched it, I made Kyo my favourite, but I think I just thought so because I love KyoxTohru so much. (lolol) I shit you not when I say I kinda just like almost everybody equally now, but if you must make me choose one, then fineeee. It's Kyo.

3. What’s your favourite episode?

- Damnit, that's hard to narrow down! (lol) Not so much that it's my favourite episode, but more like, I liked it much more than I remembered: 'Episode 4: Here Comes Kagura!'. Tsundere Kagura was really fun to watch. Poor Kyo... And Shigure's house. XD

4. What is your favourite season?

- Furuba sadly only had one season. But I'll just go ahead and say I liked the first half more than the second of the series. It got all serious at the end, and while of course I like character development and depth and all that jazz, but I ultimately love Furuba for its humour, and it was more prominent in the first half. (Besides, I didn't really like the two episodes that were focused on the Prince Yuki Fanclub, and they were both in the second half -.-)

5. What’s your favourite relationship?

- KyoxTohru 4 lyfe! (wongfu reference lulz) I think when I first finished the anime way back, I was 50/50 with KyoxTohru and YukixTohru... but then I read the manga. <3 I realized what a lack of KyoxTohru there was (boo! :() as opposed to YukixTohru after rewatching it, which made me I understood why some people ship the latter more.

6. Who is your anti-relationship?

- Again, there's really no relationship I hate, even the platonic ones. But if I have to choose... I guess HiroxKisa. Solely because before Hiro came, I was shipping HatsuharuxKisa. (lolol) But don't get me wrong! I may not really fancy Hiro, but it's ok, I'm cool if he's with Kisa. :Db

7. How long did you take to finish the show?
- 5 days. (^o^)v

8. How did you become interested in the show?

- My friend, Shuf, blogged about one of the episodes, and I got interested in the story. I mean, how could I not? Humans turn into animals when hugged by the opposite sex! I had to find out what this strange anime is about. (lol)

9. Which seiyuu/actor did you think best fit their character?
- They all fit pretty well, with a few exceptions here and there, but I think Momiji's seiyuu reaaaally fit his character. Like, I can't even imagine him with another voice. I just can't. XD

10. Pick 3 characters (minus your most/least favourite) and elaborate why you love/hate them. Go!

- Shigure (love): He's one of the characters that made me laugh a lot. His weird bromance with Ayame, the way he bullies his editor, his obsession with high school girls, his teasing of Yuki and Kyo about Tohru... <3
- Kisa (love): Ugh, so freaking adorbs and presh. <3
- Hatsuharu (love): His love for Yuki that he tells people matter-of-fact-ly, Black Haru, White Haru... <3

11. If you could change one thing about the show, what would it be?

- Nothing really... Maybe I'd just get rid of the Prince Yuki Fanclub cause I don't see the point in them at all. ^^;

12. If you could be any character for a day, who would you be?

- I think... I would be Tohru. Just to experience the life of an outsider who knows about the Sohma family secret, being all happy-go-lucky 99% of the time, and have great friends that would protect me if I ever got hurt. <3

13. Give a random quote from the show.

- "I can see it clearly... On Kyo-kun's back there's one - a wonderful umeboshi." - Tohru.

14. Describe one or more of your favourite scenes.

- Scene 1: Tohru catching a daifuku instead of Yuki.
- Scene 2: Kana freaking out when Hatori turned into a seahorse.
- Scene 3: Kyo scaring schoolmates off so that they don't bother Tohru.
- Scene 4: Hanajima playing cards with classmates outside school when they're supposed to be running.
- Scene 5: Hatsuharu looking cool... only to be riding a bicycle.
- Scene 6: Hatori tricking Yuki and Kyo to take a picture together.
- ... there's so much more but I should stop. (hahaha)

15. How did you find the music?
- Whether or not I like it kind of depends on my mood. Like, if it came up on my iPod on shuffle, I'd probably skip it. But if I feel like it, I would search for it, and then probably listen to them on repeat while I drown in my feels for the show. Therefore, I think it fits the anime really well.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go re-watch some of my favourite episodes. ;___;
