Watched a few episodes about Fruits Basket today...Awesome!

It has a very sweet story, simple yet smooth flowing story that never ceased to amaze me. Well, to give a summary...

The story is revolved around a girl named Tohru Honda, She is a high school student who lived on a tent after her mum accidentally died in an accident. After her mum's death, she decided to live along with parential grandfather. But not long later they were seperated since her grandfather decided to move over to her aunt's house to live. So, Tohru decided to be independant, try to not give anyone trouble, she decides to live in a tent inside a forest. (Isn't she a little too kind?) Therefore, her school life became sort of hectic. She study at morning, then work at night, when she got home, it's already midnight...Her life continues. She admires her mum the most, so even if her mum is dead, She desperately try to follow her advices and live along with her mum's will.

So one day Tohru passed by a house. Which happens to be her school idol, Sohma Yuki's house. Therefore Tohru met Yuki for the real first time. Which happens to have Yuki and his cousin, Sohma Shigure knows that Tohru is actually living in a tent. (Since the tent where Tohru set up is actually under Sohma's territory area), so Yuki and Shigure offered Tohru a place to live, but then, eventually Tohru found a very big secret about Sohma family : The Sohma family is actually under the cursed of vengenceful spirit. So, if any of the Sohma's family member had a direct body contact, especially hugs, will turn them into animals. And the animals, are none other than the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals~ Tohru gots scared ar first, but eventually with her cheerful attitude, she accepts it with an open arm.

The story thus begin...

You might not like it, But to me, This anime is a very touching anime. As you will know, How Tohru actually survives with her own will, even though it means everyone is cruel to her, She keep on survive without any doubts and she believes that if she believe in herself, good ones will come to her eventually. And that's a very good and optimistic attitude as a human should have for it's own emotion. She has a very cheerful, blur, happy go lucky, initiative attitude. And even though it shouldn't sound realistic, We should learn from her. IF half of the Earth population have Tohru's attitude, We won't see suicides and wars now :P

Haha...Well I recommend this anime. And I gotta go back to work~
