Fruits Basket (2001)
I'm so addicted at the moment...
OK, it all started when I was in my bookshop and picked up a free manga sneaky-peek book. There was a Fruits Basket part and I was interested in that so I started collecting the manga. Then in a DVD store, I found the anime...and bought it. I tried to watch it all everyday, it was really good! It still is! I'm a dedicated Yuki fan, of course. Basically, this anime is about a young girl called Tohru Honda who after being forced out of her home, lives in a tent. She comes across her classmate, Yuki Sohma, and he offers her a place to live, along with his two cousins, Kyo and Shigure. But then Tohru finds out that whenever the three, and ten others of the Sohma family, are hugged by a member of the opposite gender, or if their bodies are under a lot of stress, they turn into one of the Zodiac animals, Yuki is the rat, Shigure the dog, and Kyo the cat from the legend... it's funny in most places (especially Shigure) and romantic in other places as Tohru has to decide to break the curse of the Sohma family... All in all, a relief from pokemon/digimon definitely!
Fainaru fantajî IX (2000)
In my opinion? Classic.
When I was younger my elder brother bought Final Fantasy IX that was preowned. I had no idea what it was but watched him play it anyway. I saw the theatre and thought it was a little game about a play. How wrong I was, when, a while ago, he started playing it again, so, as I like copying him sometimes, I played it also. I was blown away by it all. The graphics, the music, the characters, I was lost in a world of moogles and chocobos. For the next few days I spoke of nothing but that game, and sometimes still do. I have completed it before my brother, which is my biggest accomplishment, as usually it is the other way round. And he STILL hasn't completed it. The graphics are slightly better than in VIII, and the FMV's are incredible. Square really did well to make this game a hit. The music is composed excellently, with some memorable tracks such as, from my own favourites, "A Face Unforgotten" and "You're Not Alone" and care-free tunes such as "Aloha De Chocobo". The mini-games are also challenging but addictive - spending a whole day searching for that all important Chocograph and that hidden moogle to deliver Mognet.
All in all, I would like to give this game a 1000000 out of 10 even though I can't. Although others may think VII or VIII is better, I still think IX is the greatest Square could do on Playstation before moving on to PS2 with X. I recommend it to all FF fans everywhere. Now go buy it. Trust me!
