   A continuation of the Fruits Basket anime?

... hell no!

Fruits Basket, a really popular manga series by Natsuki Takaya about a girl named Touru Honda who learns about the curse on the Souma family, and upon getting to know some members of the family well, she tries her best to help them.

Don't get me wrong, I love this series, the anime was entertaining, and the manga is simply awesome in many ways. But I think a continuation of the anime series (or a second season) is a bad idea.

While the manga series is still ongoing, the anime series ended at roughly what is covered in Volume 6 of the manga. Which leads many fans hungering for more to be animated. However, I believe that the way the anime series was made, it makes things difficult to make a faithful coninuation.

For example, the anime series makes Akito ... but later in the manga, it's revealed that ... (I won't spoil it for those who don't know, and those who do will know what I'm on about). Also, in the manga, Shigure appears 'darker', whereas the anime makes him out as purely a comedy character with only little hints to his darker side.

What would be nice is not a continuation, but a re-make of the series. This would be best done after the manga series ends so that it's done right. While I havn't read the latest chapter, those who have say that it looks like it's heading for the end.
