This is not going to go well. Why not get Laura Bailey and every one else back together to make an ANIME movie? Think about it! All of the fans will come back to rewatch the anime series, then the movie. The movie end the series altogether with a bang, but if enough people love it a few more episodes could be done. A live action movie will only repel devoted fans, as myself, as it is called animation for a reason. Humans could never capture the emotions or voices of the characters, unless the voice actors did it themselves but Laura Bailey is a grown woman, I can guess she won't be Tohru. Also, taking away important scenes from the first season such as Tohru's tent won't help the film industry much, considering that that scene is how Tohru was led to find a home with the Sohmas when Yuki and Shagurai see Tohru when walking. I am a completely dedicated fan, yet I will he very upset if they go through with this. Love, Fruits Basket has little to no plot whatsoever. But the ony things that keeps is whacky, raving fans hooked on the series is the characters. How Kyo looks at Tohru. How Tohru always smiles. How Shagurai is always sarcastic. How it makes everyone laugh when Ayami is being a pervert. These characters have very distinct personalities, and it was the only thing that kept me clinging to the series as a life source. It would be very upsetting if these human actors didn't live up to them. Unfortunately, I'm just a small peice in the director's little worlds, so my comment probably won't be taken note of at all, but it was fun ranting with you. Please, if y'all directors are out there reading some random chick's comments on a live-action anime movie, think really hard about this. This isn't some infomercial, it is deciding whether you will follow the fan's cravings, or your own wants and plans. I'm not judging, but since the anime came out about nine years ago, you've given nine years' worth of fans fall in love with this series, and get the word out, hon, and trust me, Fruits Basket will skyrocket off the charts as the best, most popular anime that viewers have ever known.

Also, another half of my rant, look at Naruto. Going into its 9th movie. And Pokemon. And DBZ. Well now, look how DBZ turned out. Enraged fans? That doesn't look very attractive for a reputation. Fruits Basket was heartfelt, sweet humor with slight romance, funny scenes, and it just makes fans smile. But now, we aren't smiling. Hollywood can't just keep taking anime and using them as movies for their own wants. They don't think that will give them a good rep. either, Hm? So many animations have been whitewashed, kind of stolen of what fame it had left. But I don't want the same to happen to my favorite time-consuming entertainment. So listen up folks, because if you don't, you may just ruin one of the funniest, best animes I've ever seen. And all of the angry fans will be your burden, including me. So open your eyes! See reality for what it is! Reality is not turning people into Zodiac animals what you hug them! That's the fun of anime! They can take unrealistic things and make them a source of entertainment, and sure, a crapload of cash, Yup, dedicated fans are turning their backs on this because once this is a live-action movie, there will be no hope bringing it back to its origional Standing.
