Okay, I'm an obsessive Fruits Basket fan (that's just a bit of set up for those of you who haven't seen me around or haven't read my signature.)
So-- here's my question. I'm about to go stir crazy with this two months between my favorite mangas. So I was thinking, why not buy the anime?
So enters my delimna. If I watch the anime, is that gonna take away from the manga? Maybe some of you who have already seen the anime can tell what you think.
Thanks!

Fruits Basket: Anime vs. Manga
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I saw the anime before I read the manga, and I don't think it hurt at all! The anime doesn't explain everything in-depth--just gives the story a nice overview--and I'm expecting the manga to fill in the gaps. I think it'd be equitable to watching a story on the news and reading about it in the newspaper--yes they will both cover the same basics, but the newspaper will be more indepth.
I say go for it, buy the anime; you'll love it!

I don't know about Fruits Basket, but I usually watch the anime first because it isn't usually as in-depth as the manga!

I loved the anime and at the time I really didn't care for manga but a friend lent the first volume to me and I read it after watching the whole series it didn't take away from the manga at all for me. I don't mind spoilers so that might play into my opinion, but with so many unanswered questions in the anime it's definately going to be more in depth in the manga so it shouldn't mess anything up too badly.

They're not *sort of* bootlegs -- they are bootlegs. However, we're not going to get into a discussion of their morality here (just in case anyone feels like they have an opinion on this topic to express), as those turn into protracted arguments.

I was wondering about that myself. If there is, I'd probably save for that. You always get more punch for your buck that way.

Oh, nuts. Oh, well, might just have to buy it ONE. VOLUME. AT. A. TIME. *gasp* Actually I think I'm gonna buy it all at once and watch it it a couple days. That would be fun.

Owning the first four manga and all four DVDs myself, I can say both are totally awesome. ^_^ I've watched the DVDs so many times, I don't remember which ones have which episodes. 
My manga are almost permanentely in an open position. I bought the Furuba sound track and a shoulder bag with the Furuba logo. I'm totally obsessive over it. Too bad i didn't see anything Hatori at Otakon. I so woulda bought it.

Too bad i didn't see anything Hatori at Otakon. I so woulda bought it. The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.
Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

Where'd you get the bag? I've been tearing the internet in half trying to find one! (Pm me so we don't get torched for advertising or something. . . )
