unico_love | Fruits Basket (Reply)

Well, I finished reading Fruits Basket last night, online. I loved the ending. I loved the whole series. Each character got a really indepth look into their psyche, which is fun and gives lots to think about. I think my favorite character is Momiji. He's just so sweet! I really admire Tohru and wish I were that strong and kind. She's kind of like a typical anime heroine in that she's sweet and always forgiving and conquers all with her love. I want to be like that and always aspired to be like that, but unfortunately I get too defensive and angry. I hate injustices and starting with my father could become very loud and mean when provoked. I just always feel that people won't listen to me and overcompensate. I suppose I'm more like Kagura, the boar. I'm very stubborn, including about my feelings toward people. I make my feelings well known usually and I can be verbally violent (though never physically violent) when provoked. I suppose I'd just go back to being depressed and walked all over if I tried too hard to imitate Tohru. She doesn't even get depressed by horrible things! I wish I were like that, though I realize it's unrealistic. I'm just not like her very much, though maybe over time I can cultivate some of her love and patience and looking for the best in people. When I look for the best in people (which I usually do), I often end up depressed or angry so so far it hasn't worked great for me... I was more like Tohru when I was 18, yet the depression eventually set in, like I've been saying...

But the series greatly cheered me up and i wish there were more of it:D It's really inspired me. I need to read more shoujo manga. And watch more shoujo anime. I will be watching Fruits Basket soon!
