The quality is as high as the normal DVD Version. Guess it's a rip from the US Version.

Crystal clear and very soundful. Your soundsystem will love it.

As fan of "Furuba" you can't do anything wrong with this DVD Set. Just put it into the player, put the light out, take a seat and enjoy the show.

Video quality is great. Can't even tell the difference from the orignal version.

Sound is excellent. it's crystal clear

This is about a girl whose mother died a few years ago. She moves in with these boys, and finds out some things she didn't even know were possible. Very humble girl. www.almightywind.com/hell

The video was flawless! Obviously a r1 rip!

I give the audio a perfect 5! I didn't see a flaw in the audio!

I really loved this set! i just wish the are on the set was more eyecatching.

The picture quality on this set, is pretty much well done. I only notice very few pixelations. But it's absolutely nothing to complain about. Beautifully done video quality I must say.

Since this is pretty much a rip from the american FUNimation DVDs, you know what to expect. Beautiful audio quality. No flaws whatsoever! The Japanese voices are cool, cute, and distinctive, and it suits the characters perfectly. As for the English dub, I think it's pretty average. Tohru's voice is somewhat good, but the fact that she screams whenever she's surprised, is pretty annoying. However, the only english voice I found annoyingly horrible was Momiji's voice. And the voice actor for Ritsu made it very obvious that the character is actually male. Why couldn't they just use a female's voice? Oh well...I guess it only makes sense. To my surprise, almost all the english voices sound pretty impressive. But I still perfer it in Japanese, thank you very much! ^_^

I've seen a lot of cutesy animes over the years. But I've never seen something as adorable and heartwarming as Fruits Basket. The series demonstrates how pure life can be, despite harsh moments. And instead of just being introduced to a character and later on, know who they really are on later episodes like most anime these days (well except for some characters), they get straight to the point on why some of the Sohma family members or any of the important characters not related to the Sohma family, are so cheery, stubborn, sad, overly upset, self-centered, or mysterious. That's what I like best about the anime. The story is well played, the music is both relaxing and cute, and the cast of characters are one of the brightest I've ever seen. Tohru Honda is the cutest character ever (played by one of the most gorgeous seiyuu, Yui Horie), Kyo's temper is more humorous than scary at times, Haru's black personality is both awesome and hilarious, Akito is one cold-hearted SOB, Momiji is very cheerful and extremely childish despite his age, Yuki's somewhat calm exterior makes him one of the coolest characters, Ayame has the funniest laugh and romance logic ever, and Shigure's dog-like silliness is such a riot. Fruits Basket is a very delightful series that best describe the fresh fruits of life, youth, friendship, loyalty, love, trust, and happiness. Highly reccomended for anyone who enjoys good anime! Definently worth seeing. You won't be disappointed! Note: The set I have is from Anime Cartoon or Manga Video, with the same features as the FX set. Same box art without the label below the package (i.e. 26 Complete Episodes 3 Discs Boxset Version). However, the discs were numbered incorrectly. Volume 1 is correct, but volume 2 actually has the last batch of episodes, meaning it's supposed to be volume 3. While the "3rd volume" has the 2nd batch of episodes, making that one the 2nd volume. Just thought I'd point that out, for people who might be confused after buying the same set as mine.

The video was great. Only a few times did I notice pixellation and thats if I was purposly looking for it.

The audio was good. I listened to the dubb. The fan club girls are annoying though. The dubb voices suit the characters.

A great set.. I can tell it uses the american dvd menus. Not that many extras. Two trailers and a ka ching wipe gallery. the second and third discs use the same menu. But that is because the episode on the third disc is from the pack of episodes to that menu style. I love the music.. A must buy.

Quality was great! Only a few times did it ever freeze or skip, but I think that's due more so to my dvd player rather than the DVD's themselves (Afterwards I cleaned them and they'd play flawlessly) Colors were perfect, no pixelation, I was really impressed with this being my first H.K and all ^^

I didn't notice any flaws in audio. Sound was crisp, clear. I mostly watched it with Japanese audio, but the few times I watched with English there were no problems either.

A great series and a wonderful collection! I highly recommend this, as it's quality is just superb. This, like I mentioned, was my first purchase of a H.K. I had heard many stories about how their quality was bad, poor translations, etc, but with FX I'm simply amazed. It's so sad to know that they're hindered at the moment, but hopefully they'll return soon ^^

THe video quality of this anime was excellent. Obviously this was an R1 rip... but who cares? As long as the video quality looks clean and crisp and doesn't give me a headache, I'm happy ^^ My DVD player played this anime perfectly without any problems such as distortions, pixels or anything that you would find on a non FX DVD. However, when I played this on my PS2, it had problems reading the disc and caused 1-2 second freezes(always does this with my imports, don't recommend using PS2).

The sound quality was just superb. Clean and clear, without any roller coaster-like sound quality. I prefered the subtitled version over the dubbed version. The voice actors for the sub version really brought out the characters personality, matched the facial expressions of the characters perfectly... and Yuki Kun didn's sound so weird.

If you don't own this anime, you are definitely missing out. This anime is not only funny, but can be quite touching at times. The characters in the story all likable and interesting, with great graphics that make it really enjoyable. If you're looking for something with a bit of action, lots of comedy, and some bit of romantical themes... get this!

The major problem on this release was the video. There was some pixelation, but not too much for me to note on, however, this is the first HK release that has frozen up and skipped. This problem only happened in two episodes and only took up a few minutes of the episode, but still, it was very annoying. Whether or not this was a scratch or something that FX did, I do not know. No one else complained about it, so, im guessing somehow I got some dust on the disk or something like that. Overall, the colors were nice and crisp. Great =)

I had no problems with the audio on this one. I only watched the series in English, so I cannot comment on the Japanese track. The english audio was great. Everything synced up, no drop-outs, perfect!

This series was amazing. This is now my favorite anime series. I cannot express to you how much you need to go out there and buy this set! FX did a great job with this release. There were a few video problems , but it could have just been my disk. They both happened on the second disk. The packaging is a little bland, and by packaging I mean the art on the sides and inside. There is a mispelling on the back where the forum description is, and inside the gatefold, the artwork seems to be a little "washed" out. Poor Printing? Still, if you are looking to buy fruits basket, this is the release you should get! My home-theater set-up used to watch this show: 27' inch Flat Screen TV DVD player: Xbox

Video was clear and crisp. Couldn't ask for better.

The audio was also really well done. The English dub is annoying as it usually is, but other than that, no complaints.

A 10/10 from me. Now go buy this series!!!

WOW!!! That's all I have to say! I was SO impressed by the video quality in this DVD set--crystal clear--it was just like watching a region 1 DVD!

Again, no problems with the audio--all was well!

The Fruits Basket series itself is truly amazing, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes an anime that can make them laugh, as well as cry. Really an incredible series--deffinitly one of the best I've seen. This is my first time buying a DVD set by "FX" and I've never been so pleased--I'm sticking with FX from now on!

The video was flawless. If there were problems I didn't pick up on any of it. There was once closing credit on the 3rd DVD I think that had a bit of problems, but the anime was great.

Great sound. No flaws here. I only listened to English though.

This anime is very heart warming. As with every anime it ends with a HUGE cliffhanger. If you want to get the full story and an actual ending you may want to get ahold of the Manga. I hear it is fabulous as well. This is a must have. :)

Great! No probs. Colors are so lively.

Watched in Japanese track and no probs.

one of my favorite series. wish there was a second season. very loveable characters. don't consider it a romantic series, even though there are hints it could have gone down that path. very sentimental. a must buy.

Played: Coby digital DVD player, hooked up to 32 inch sony t.v. through a.v. play back was almost perfect, except on one episode where it wouldn't play part of it. i had to skil to the next thing. but besides that, everything else was perfect

i loved the music. the music was one of the best thing for this series. it was so sincere and all. it was very soothing

this is one of my all time favorite series. this is an anime i say i could love. the other one is ayashi no ceres. it is so good. i recommend this highly to everyone. there was so many emotional parts to this anime. tohru is so sincere. if there was a girl like her in this world, than it would be perfect. i cried so many times, it moved me so much. you'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll juss want more and more. perfect anime.

Video was crisp on my 21" TV. Very good rip, although I haven't checked it on a computer monitor yet. Did not notice any pixelation (there aren't many action sequences in this show, which helps).

Sound was good, although the Japanese track was a bit lower volume (which was minorly annoying).

Box art isn't very good, but overall the high quality of audio/video/subs make it a 5 out of 5 stars!

Very good

Perfect Video. No problems on my set.

Audio is great, i listened to the japanese track, but occasionally checked the engish dub at times which suprisingly sounded good.

Excellent video, rich vibrant colours. The video did seem a little blurry at times but IMO it added a nice softness to the video which matched the series quite well

Listen to the Japanese audio track. Didn't notice any problems with it.

Extras were a couple of funimation trailers and a presentation about 17 minutes long showing all the eye catches and "ka-chings" narrated by one of the seiyuus. Overall, an excellent set and a great, heart warming series. One of my personal favorites.

Great! People have said its too bright but I didnt think so at all...

No problems I noticed.

Just another quickie (I seem to say that on every review lol!) but I just wanted to warn you all about the two different subs... Also this set doesnt say FX on it and has 'animation world international limited' on the back but it is the FX version (I bought it from here) and although it does look like its MI its only 3 discs...(it even has the little red code strip on the bottom of the spine like MI do). It also has FX's frosted plastic slip case and the text "26 complete episodes 3 discs boxset version" in FX style.

The video here is great (at least on the 1st and 3rd disc). My second disc had an error on it, so I will update this once I get the replacement back. Anyway, there is no pixelation apparent (I didn't catch any). The only problem I could find is a few scenes looking "washed out". Now, this washed out look is used for certain scenes for effect, but they are in a few scenes that I'm almost positive shouldn't have them. The look isn't bad however, even in with this look, it's much better than many of the sets I've owned in the past. There are no anomalies in the first disc and as I stated above, my second disc is being replaced. The third disc had only one problem, where there was a layer change during the beginning of a scene (a few seconds after a "quick cut") I think the author was trying to get the layer change during the "black-screen" right after the quick cut (the quick cuts are pictures that go before commercial breaks and so forth) and right before the video. This happened during the episode where the Yuki fan club wanted to go to Hana's home the second time they went up to the school president to ask for information. Other than that the video is great. It really made me fall in love with the series quickly.

I've only listened to the English Dub (which is very good, although I know some people get annoyed at Yuki and Tohru's voices, but I find them very fitting). The audio is nearly perfect. The only error that was apparent was in the second episode, when the Prince Yuki fan club confronts Tohru about her dirty clothes, the audio sounds like it's coming from a radio for a second, but when Uo start's speaking again it starts to slowly change back to normal. That only lasted a few seconds and isn't unbearable.

I really didn't know what to think of this series. I thought it would be a very soft series that was serious and full of drama, but it really isn't. It's very funny, cute and... spunky *you'll have to watch the series to understand why I said spunky ;)* I really enjoyed it and I will be picking up the manga as my need for Fruits Basket has grown. *possible spoiler* I really hope they get a second season since the anime only goes to about the eight volume of the manga (there are eleven in this ongoing series). The reason I'm calling it a spoiler is because others may think that this is the whole series and may expect more in the end. *end spoiler warning* The extra's were a nice touch, but I would have rather had the second part of the "quick cuts" segment than the previews for DBGT and Yu Yu Hakusho (disc one has the Yu Yu preview, disc three has the DBGT preview and disc two has the quick cuts segment). The menu's are nice, the last two disc's use the same menu. It would have been nice to have three different one's, but menu's aren't that important. I love this series and it has easily entered my top five favorite anime's. I am actually thinking of buying the R1 box set once it comes out to replace my FX set, just because I love the series so much.

Perfect video!!!

both tracks sound great actually, I usually hate the dubbed versions but this set has a dubbed that pretty much great. Note that the Yuki Fan club girls are more annoying though in english than japanese track. Also for the voices the only ones I found quite strange are Momiji, Tohru and Hiro, they voices don't seem to match their age that's the only downside I found listening to Eng Dubbed

Amazing simply astonishing and Perfect set to have. The story itself is a surprise but very entertaining all the way. You'll laugh it off with the goffy stuff Between Yuki ( rat-boy ) and Kyo ( stupid cat ), along with Shigure form time to time with his manager and his strange sentences. I laughed a lot jsut as much as this can sometimes make you feel sad. This set contains just everything to not get you bored and also it makes you want to know more. the story revolves around a Sohma family that are cursed if being hugged by the opposite sex turn into 1 of the twelve chinese zodiacs + the cursed cat. Tohru ends up discovering this big secret and with time each Sohma cursed shows up one after the other with their own special attitude and story. Some are quite entertaining, like Ayame and Haru. Just fell in love with them all, exept one that actually got on my nevers, ( he was really hyper-active ) so on the story and bonds between them gorw. Extras Yu Yu Hakusho Preview Dragon Ball GT Preview Interview with the director and the staff introduced by Tohru Opening and Endings can be heard in English or Japanese track with or without subs ( very enjoyable ) This series I'm gonna be watching many times a year since it's so funny and all. Those that already know the series and been wating for a perfect one to get out grab it especially at this amazing price of 21$!!!!! NOTE When Kisa appears She keeps calling Tohru Sissy although I think they should of given her a better nickname lol
