Onto Yuugi. Yuugi actually inspired me to properly sit down and learn Japanese for the stupid reason I wanted to read the novels and it was either Japanese or German, so I might as well learn the Japanese. It's a silly reason to learn a language but it has hugely changed my life so I won't complain. I find the characters interesting but the narrative is a bit brutal at times! I think I'm mostly just character driven in the shows and stories that attract me. I don't need them to be demons or whatever, or even to be handsome. I just need them to have a great character dynamic.Shinto shrines are awesome. I had to visit a bunch during my fieldwork visit because of their connections to various individuals in my research.
I've been watching a bunch of drama lately (we don't have a thread for that, funny enough). I'm looking forward to the furuba anime although watching it ep by ep will be annoying xD I like to watch anime series at my own pace so it might be I wait till it's done airing before I watch. In any case I agree, Ponyfan. It seems to have respected the original while promising to do the whole story this time.I always feel that where the old anime ends gives the wrong impression about Spoiler Yuki's relationship with/interest in Tooru and so it will be nice to see that fixed. That, and the other rather major...issue with the original anime as regards SpoilerAkito.

Maybe it’s because I’m not very far in to the manga yet?Ponyfan
Thanks Pokeyonekenobie and Taffeta. I was starting to think that I missed something or didn't understand the ending of the anime. SpoilerThe resolution with Akito feels off to me too.

SpoilerThe resolution with Akito feels off to me too. SpoilerThere is a lot wrong with Akito in the anime, period. Let's just leave it at that for now I remember I watched the anime ending a couple of times before I really got to grips with it. And it was an anime I watched first before I spoke Japanese, so the first couple of times I saw it in English. I can't remember now what the dub is like (its not horrendous like the one for Fushigi Yuugi xD) but I am not sure if anything is missing in translation. I rewatched the original anime not long past and I dunno if it'ds because I know the ending now or because the Japanese is more clear...yeah. Not sure but looking forward to the remake, even with a new cast, to close those gaps. I mean, there are characters that didn't even make it into the anime, and that needs resolving.
I'm also looking foward to the new Fruits Basket anime. Seeing the anime first and then reading the manga has been interesting as I can see where the anime follws the manga and where it doesn't. I also know why to put a seahorse rat or cat in the chatbox they're named hatori yuki and kyo Ponyfan
