Fruits Basket: A Cat and Rat Story
by Sandra Scholes
When you watch this a few years after you reviewed it the first time around, you forget how well animated it looks now. The improvements on colour and sharpness are there and make for great viewing.
We get to see Tohru emerge from her tent in what she thinks is a remote area of Japan only to stumble upon a huge mansion house. Here we notice how lush the trees are and how sprawling the location, there's a lot of work gone into this new release.
Tohru has many regrets in her young life, one of them is not being able to say goodbye to her mum before she died. When she meets the Sohma family she realises she has her whole life ahead of her with little time for regrets as her tent has fallen off the edge of the cliff near the Sohma estate, leaving her in effect homeless.

In They're All Animals, Tohru has already hugged three of the Sohma's and there is one who is more miffed than the other two; Kyo who is identified as the cat who doesn't have a place in the Chinese zodiac, therefore no place in the Sohma family. Kyo is the angry type who constantly picks fights with the more mild-mannered Sohma, Yuki who is the Rat.
