watched about 6 epps or so and glad i did =)
This shows pretty damn funny. Im still getting used to the fruity art, but its bearable i supose (i cant belive this is bones)
It definatly rips on the whole fangirl aspect, which is probably why i find it bearable. Hell, they flat out categorize each characters niche, lol. Actually the 2 incest brothers are some of my faves, they just love screwing with everyone. The last epp i saw was the one where they 'fought' and it was actually really good and even a little deep. The ending of it was awesome, the look they gave eachother as haruhi walked away, heh.
tnx guys, glad i gave it a look. Hell I may check out Fruits basket after this, i guess not all Shoujo is shit

Watch Skip Beat!(Yes the male character design is fucking ugly, no that doesn't hurt the show) instead of Fruits Basket. Fruits Basket is a much more typical shoujo. It's still good but it'll be a disappointment after watching Ouran. After Skip Beat!, try Lovely Complex, then Kimi ni Todoke, and then finally try Fruits Basket. You have to ease your way into this stuff :P

LOL @ ease your way into this stuff. That must be a nice, I get a Lets watch this! and it doesn't matter if I'm eased into it or not.
I think I would have like to ease into kanon and season 2 of clannad bit more.
kenshin-dono:
err i dont know about skip beat, that art looks REALLY fruity. Almost like the 'rose mode' from Ouran all the time. Im not sure if i can handle that
LOL, I actually do have lovely complex d.loaded. Should i just watch that one next then?
Its funny you mention Kimi ni Todoke. I keep reading good things about that, i was thinking of giving it a look. Is it worth jumping into now, or just waiting for it to finish? Its a bit unusual in that its an actual 24 ep series in this day and age, so it should have the time to flesh out the story well if its done right. KnT appeals to me the most simply because the art was the most.. 'normal' i guess outa all of them. Hell, its quite obvious which ones are the guys and which ones are the women, lol. It's still a little girly looking but not nearly as bad as the other stuff. If i do say f it and just gofor it, is eclipse the way to go? I dont like frostii, and never have heard of sunberries.
Maybe i'll go dig up some AMV's for it, that seems to be how ive been selecting my latest shows to watch, heh.
dont think i'll ever watch kanon scudworth. The art there is just too horrible for me. I did put up with Clannad even though that art was horrid, at least the guys looked ok. I need to actually finish that

Lovely Complex is definitely worth watching if you enjoy Ouran. It's internationally recognized as an excellent high school romance(the only manga I know of which is used as mandatory school reading material), has a great sense of humor, and lacks most of the more annoying excesses of shoujo anime. It might be better for you to go with the live action version.
KnT has incredible production quality and the character design is pretty good, much more realistic than most shoujo. It's just very low key, something which I enjoy but a lot of people hate. I usually watch FMS, Eclipse, and Frostii's release for each episode. Either Eclipse or Frostii are fine, and both are worlds better than FMS.
Skip Beat! is great if you can look past the male character design. Like Ouran, the focus never leaves its heroine and she runs with it. The boys are always secondary.
