Fruits Basket
I liked the answers (especially SolemnSerpent's answer to #3, hilarity). I got an ipod shuffle couple days ago, it wasn't originally mine so technically I got it for free. It's pretty awesome, it can hold 250 songs, 150 more than my last mp3 player, which I had for a whopping 7 years (it still works really good too). Watched a David Lynch film, Eraserhead. I... was so confused. It's a freaky, weird movie. Still don't get it. It can't be explained. I could never decipher Lynch films, I still don't understand Inland Empire, too much symbolism. Maybe that's the point... idk.

On more manga I've read recently, I can't believe I hadn't jumped on the Fruits Basket wagon a long time ago. A few years ago, I probably wouldn't have even considered reading it, but now, I'm pretty open with anything so I decided to check it out. If you're human, the ending would've made you cry, and I never cry :P

For those who aren't familiar, Tohru is a naive but extremely generous and kind-hearted girl, left homeless after her mother's death, meets a family of people who are possessed by the Zodiac spirits that turn into their respective Zodiac animals when coming in contact with the opposite sex. Kyo is the sign of the cat, rejected by the Zodiac, a total hothead, and head over heels with Tohru obviously. If you haven't figured out by now that it's a shojo, it has got all the elements of comedy, drama, tragedy, and romance. My favorite has always been Shigure, probably since he's most like me XD it's interesting, sounds cutesy, but it's got its doses of action and angst with a sprinkle of hilarity. I'm pretty sure most of the anime fandom is familiar with it, I've never even heard of it until a couple years ago. It's a pretty nice story, 9/10 'cause nothing is perfect.

I've also been watching old epis of Yu Yu Hakusho. It was my first anime besides Pokemon... I believe I was about 7 or 8... it was amazing... has anyone else ever watched that?
