I've started Howl's Moving Castle, but had to stop it before it was through Luckily I have it recorded It's really neat!!! I can't wait to finish it!

Yeah! It's almost completely different than the book! (I flipped through the book and got the gist of it.) But it is good!!
WATCH the secret of arrietty, and Tales from Earthsea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE AWESOME!

I watched the first 3 episodes of Fruits Basket and I read a few chapters of the manga last week. I really like it and am starting to get addicted because I want to know more. Definitely will be watching and reading more of it during the summer!

That's great! Hope you enjoy the series!

I definitely am May. The whole transformation scenario I can't help but get a kick from. It can get pretty funny! I really like the story line and that the manga and anime are pretty close.

YAY!

What's your favorite episode/character so far? Any comments?

That's great! The first time I watched the anime I was keeling over laughing! ^_^ Just wait until a "certain" episode. It gets even better.

christttiannn forum XD

and lol. XD

poor Tohru. XD

It wasn't that bad

I reread the last two books again and cried all through them

So far I don't yet have a favorite episode, I like them all. As for characters, I really like Tohru, and I find yuki and kyo and their cousin I forget his name very funny and interesting. I'm sure as I watch/read more my favorites will better develop. By the second/third episode I was laughing quite a lot and I can't wait to watch some more this weekend. I really like how Tohru is a strong character and she just keeps going and is very independent. The animation really shocked me just because it's a step up from the old 90's anime I watch a lot of. But I like the style and the art. My favorite thing about the anime and manga is the gorgeous artwork. What are your favorite characters?

Oh yes I definitely agree StarWarsForever!!!

My favorite character is Momiji, he's super cute and I love how positive and happy he always is despite all the stuff he's been through. I also love Ritsu and Hatsuharu because they remind me of myself, and Shigure is hilarious XD And Hatori, Ayame, Akito, Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, oh man I just love them all! XD

That's cool! Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo are amazing! Oh! And the cousin is Shigure. Yes, there is one episode with a certain "character" that is just....insane. XD I laughed continually. Tohru is very interesting, I agree. Most people would've probably given up, but she lived in a tent!
The animation and artwork is beautiful, and I also like watching animes from the 90's, because those are most of the good ones. But newer ones are good too! ^_^ My favorite characters are everyone in the Sohma family and Tohri. XD

~May

Cool, StarWarsForever! My favorite character are Yuki, Tohru, Shigure, Hatori, and Kyo
I agree, the show is really funny XD

Agh, now that I'm almost done with the manga, I can't stand Shigure's guts. XD They really tone him down a lot in the anime. They don't completely make him a harmless goofball, but in the manga he's very cunning and manipulative as well as being goofy and a pervert. XD He is very funny at times though. (I feel like echoing Akito's opinion of him- "Be nicer! Nicer nicer nicer nicer nicer!". And Kagura's-I can't post it here as it would have to be censored.)

I love Momiji, he's very sweet. It was bittersweet when he had his growth spurt and was (slightly XD) more mature and wiser.

May, which character are you talking about? I feel like all the characters are insane at times XD.

OH I mean- Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, Ayame, Hatori, Momiji Kagura, Akito, and Hatsuharu. Along with Tohru's friends-Saki and Arisa. Oh, and Tohru herself!

Yes!!!!!! I'm on chapter 29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~May

lol I agree they all seem to be a bit crazy at times. I just got introduced to Kagura in the anime, omg I was laughing so hard, just because of how over the top obsessed she is with kyo. So funny! I can't wait for them to say what animal she is, because I couldn't guess. I also started to watch Sailor moon in Japanese with English Subtitles. If anyone has seen episode 2 with the fortune teller and Umino, all I can say is wow! I couldn't help but laugh when he's trying to get Usagi to go out with him! I haven't seen the Japanese episodes of the show, and this was one of those episodes that wasn't in english. Definitely am going to be watching that in the summer too!

LOL That episode had me falling out of my chair! XD
You started Sailor Moon!??! YAYYYYY! I've watched every episode! So do you like it??
If you want English Dub I could find it for you if you want!

Yeah it was a funny episode. I've seen all the English Dub episodes and rewatch them all the time, I just hadn't watched the Japanese version of the show which I started watching recently. I'm reading the manga too, so I was curious as to how close the original anime was to the manga. I've loved Sailor Moon since I was a little kid and it first was running on TV. The new merchandise that's coming out in North America looks awesome. Part of me deep down wants to go on a Sailor Moon shopping spree, lol!
