Unlike other manga-based series which really keep you hanging with an incomplete ending, Full Moon wo Sagashite managed to completely close everything in the end. Maybe because it didn't follow the original manga story very faithfully. After all, how else can you do 52 episodes with 3-4 volumes of manga?

If you have read the manga, it's too angsty and dramatic (this is SHOUJO manga, mind you). Fruits Basket still had the humor besides it's darkness, but this one really seems very heavy on the senses.

I like the anime better because it is 'less dark', and the music really adds up to the experience. It's up there with the best shoujo anime one can ever see.
