Argh! This is a tough one. I'm having a dilemna whether to say Rurouni Kenshin or Fruits Basket. They're both so good! Well...Rurouni Kenshin would have to be my all time fav. but as for right now...I would have to say Fruits Basket is. The characters are well-developed; the main character, Honda Tohru, is the core of the Sohma family who she's living with. She's not an airhead, but she can be ditzy at times. This anime shows the progression of the characters as they go from being lonely and shut out from the world, to being open and more cheerful because of her. It's really a shoujo, but there are not so many "lovey-dovey" parts, because the main conflict is about lonliness and the Sohma's family with their Jyunnishi problem and the Sohma clan leader, Akito-san. This is a slight light-hearted anime, but there are plently of emotional parts as well. It's not entirely action-based, there are the occasional martial arts fights between Yuki and Kyo, but that slowly dies down because of Tohru. So you won't be seeing guns, killing, nothing like that. I'm not sure how to describe it fully....this anime is something you'll have to watch for yourself in order to judge it. I, personally, love it to death because I enjoy watching these types of anime that doesn't involve action at every corner. Not saying I don't like action, but this is just something different. Well, if you're not a fan of these types, then I suggest you don't watch it, otherwise you'll be coming to me and complaining about how boring it is. I haven't seen it all, only up to episode 19 out of the 26, so I can't tell you how it ends, but so far....it's really, really good.
