Yeah, a box would have been nice. However, they did some other stuff right, so I can't complain too much. 6-7 episodes per disk plus some nice extras on each disk make it well-worth the money.

[GATX207_Blitz]

is this still an unlicensed anime?

well whatever it is I think I saw the last episode...I watched it without knowing what it was because it was on this cd that some1 burned me with rahxephon a while back I think maybe 3 years I'm not sure exactly how long ago, but tahts not important...

tell me if I'm wrong, but...is this the show with the guy..kyo that wears beads on his wrist that are black and white to stop him from trasnforming into some brown feral kind of thing and there is this guy who has this illness who was born to die and such??? I was totally lost when I was watching it, but I guess that ruined the whole series for me

o well, but then you guys are talking about DVDs so that muct mean that it is licensed, but then why is it the suggestions forum without the first post asking for new anime ok I'm just taking up space in this thread, but I still would like to know if what I am asking is right about the series...

[FinFangFoom]

Yes you are correct, it's the same series as the one you watched back then. If it seems like one you might like if it had'nt been ruined for you I would'nt worry about that, there are a lot of other characters and plot development besides just that one. It's not as big of a spoiler as it may seem.

[Argilus]

Alright, I love Animesuki!!! Ok, now that that's over with I have a question, I've been recently been getting hounded by my g/f to somehow d/l Fruits Basket...."NO IT'S NOT FOR ME!!" Um, yeah so I was looking and curious if anyone was doing any fansubs for it here. I couldn't find one, and either thought it was 1 of 3 things. A) I'm stupid and just to handicap of the head software and can't see it. B) It's under another name, it's real Japanese name. Or C) Nobody has dubbed it cause it's alright here trans by Funi... >_<


So, anyone help me out here.



-=Naruto ish so kyoolz=-

[babbito2k]

This show is licensed for awhile now.

[Garylisk]

There were fansubs, yes. But now that it's liscensed, distribution of those fansubs should have stopped. even groups that only stop distro after a DVD release should ahve stopped, because the show is all out on DVD.

In fact, it's one of the most affordable anime titles out there. The entire series comes on four discs, and Funi did a great job with the translation. The dubbing is scary sometimes, but if you watch it subtitled, it's great.

[Argilus]

Damn, oh well. Ok, thanks pepz.

[Vulkar]

If I remember correctly, the DVD's are a good buy. They have a large amount of episodes per disc.

Yes, absolutely. I believe there are 6 episodes on the first two discs, and 7 on the second two (26 episodes in all). Plus, it's a pretty high quality production; even the dub isn't *bad* (although the original voices are better). It's a good deal, and in my opinion, it's well worth it. I really enjoyed Fruits Basket.

I believe they go 6, 7, 6, 7

At less than $30 USD apiece now (I think?) they're one of the best deals on DVDs around.

They're $25 each actually at Barnes & Noble

There's practically no excuse!

P.S. Was moving my DVDs and checked the Fruits Baskets discs in passing. It's 1-6, 7-12, 13-19, and 20-26. Actually, I think I might start watching these DVDs again, now that I've been reminded of it.

[Keitaro]

Fruits Basket is licensed. Closing thread please observe the forums rules please.

[Hoeboe2k]

I LOVE this anime series. Even though it may have been targeted towards little girls.
I got some questiosn about it though.

Spoiler:

When Kyo asks Kagura why she loves him so much Kagura says that he forgot something. What did he forget?

and also, the ugly form kyo has is there because the cat's are rotten with revenge?

Spoiler:

1. Kagura meant that he forgot that he use to reach out to her when they were kids specially since everyone seemed to hate him.

2. I believe that is the case since they are possessed by the vengeful spirits they end up with that form. I think towards the end of 24 or 25 they mentioned it.

Is it worth the money?

There are four DVDs that cost $26 each at Amazon.com; I'm really tempted to buy them because I love this series, but since it was made by FUNimation and I've heard that FUNimation isn't that good, I'd like to see some other opinions before I buy.

Btw, I'm a miserly cheapskate who's only ever bought one anime (Spirited Away), which is why I'm indecisive about spending $100 on anime.

Thanks for your help.

If you've seen it and enjoyed the series, I would say it's well worth buying the DVDs. I didn't find anything wrong with Funimation at all (but then I'm not such a nitpicker). I didn't find any real problem with the translation or the transfer onto DVD.

And I would like to point out that other on-line places, such as DVD Pacific, are selling them for $19 each (see here). When you add in P&P it still comes to only $82 for the four DVDs.

[GHDpro]

Or if you have the patience, you could wait until November, when this is released:

DVD Pacific doesn't list it yet, but probably will in the near future.

[Imazul]

Buy it now, every anime fan should own a copy of Fruit Basket.
