a family of special victims if ever there was one

[timepiececlock]

You know you watch too much Law&Order:SVU when you take a nap and dream that Fruits Basket really takes place in New York and Detectives Benson and Stabler and Munch and Ice T raid the Sohma complex and arrest half the family for child abuse and neglect.

And the good is that they arrest Akito and Yuki's mom and Kyo's biological father and Momiji's mom-- but the bad is that they also take Hatori in on suspicion.

Then you wake up and think what a weird fanfic that would be, but wouldn't it be nice if it could actually happen cause god some of them ought to serve jail time.

Kinda judging by what I've read about the series, it doesn't seem like one I'd like. Then I thought the same thing about Angel Sanctuary and Fushigi Yugi, so I figured I'd give it a chance.

If you wanna upload some anime, I wouldn't turn it down!

well, I believe I still have all 26 fansubs episodes, so I could upload those for you after I move into my new apartment, in August. Some people in Fight Club could also probably upload it for you since several have downloaded it.

If you want a clue to how much I love this series-- I actually bought 3/4 DVDs and copied the the 4th one. I wanted to own the DVDs.

I know how a lot of people are skeptical of FB by reading reviews-- I didn't think I'd like it but tried it because I had open access to episodes at the time, and had nothing better to do. But I found it such a treat overall, and it's ranked in my top 10 favorite anime series ever, possibly in my top 5. That's probably unfair bias to give you to start... but oh well. FB is a drama-tragedy masquerading as a sitcom, and who knew that was something I'd end up not just liking, but loving. And what I'm enjoying about the manga as it progresses is that there's things that are being address in the volumes 9-15 that I'd thought about in the beginning, and had assumed would not be addressed. To my surprise, they ARE addressed, in very interesting ways sometimes. Things that appear glossed over or generalized only appear that way at first, and I love that feeling of surprised delight you get when you realize that the writer actually has thought about the same things you've thought about as you read, and does fully intend to deal with it. It's not your imagination afterall, it's very intentional. Sometimes I find character development and details in manga to be so superficial or overly generalized that I forget that it isn't necessarily a symptom of the medium at all, it might just be that I've gotten too used to lesser product.
