I need to buy the ninth volume of the manga of Fruits Basket. Fwee hee, it seems Rin and Kureno are finally coming in. My, Rin's so skinny. o_O Kureno looks weird not in colour. XD And my sis thinks Momiji looks hot when he's older. lol

And apparently I'm also the Year of the Dog. Which makes me...Shigure. o_O Awkward how his name also requires "shi"..How many?! *using a certain translator, she found her Japanese name is Shizuka, which also contains "shi". It's curing me!!* I even used to have a Shigure bookmark, but it fell apart.^^' I'll have to buy a new one. Perhaps their will be new ones.^^

Ayame's on the next cover...o_O

And from the Zodiac, apparently I'm supposed to hate my father because he's a Dragon. *Hatori XD*

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I get to buy episodes 1-6 today!!

Edit: They didn't have it at the shop. Now I'm really depressed. *goes and cries quietly in a corner*

i saw the dvd box set in jbhifi and it sounded good. i reckon turning into animals must be a strain on their love lives though.

Does anyone know where I can find episode 1 of fruits basket in japanese with english subtitles???

I can find it in english dub but I just can't stand watching it in those stupid american voices >.<

(No offence to anyone who watches it in dub)

Posted by arren18 on 09.30.2007, 11:05 AM:

Wow, that really is hard to find. The only subtitles at all that I could find were Spanish.

Unless I'm mistaken, there is an option on all the DVDs to watch it in Japanese with subtitles. Other than that I'm sure you could find it on Youtube.

Yup, the FUNimation DVD has it, and if you click through all the subs, or just press the other sub button or something, you can find the subs that is probably from the original and has honorifics on the ends of the names.

My cuz whines because Furuba is hard to find on the Net and I had a DVD. It's always gone. Someone buys it.

I got the ninth volume.^^ Ah, Megumi and Saki are my favorite brother and sister anime characters. And Kureno has appeared~ Sugoi.^^

I didn't have trouble finding it. Have you tried Ebay?

Posted by Saddletank on 10.12.2007, 06:29 PM:

Has anyone found eps 1 & 2 in Japanese with English subs online. I want to try before I buy. Someone kindly gave me a link to the whole series in English dub but I want the Japanese., so thanks if anyone can find it. I can't.

There are plenty of versions available on various bittorrent sites. Just select to download only the first two episodes in your client.

Posted by Saddletank on 10.12.2007, 07:06 PM:

I've hardly done any torrenting and don't really know how to...

If you can post on a forum, than you have the know-how to use bittorrent:

1 - Search Google for "Azureus", download and install
2 - Go on Animesuki.com and find anime of your choice. (Well, since you want an anime that's already been licensed, you'll have to use boxtorrents.com)
3 - Download torrent.
4 - Open torrent in Azureus. You can unselect which files you don't want to download (in this case, all episodes other than 1 & 2)
5 - Wait until completed.

There is far more material on bittorrent than you will find anywhere else. Most groups release anime currently airing, which is unlicensed in the west, through bittorrent, and that's how I get all of mine.

Of course, on the opposite end of the debate, a lot of groups keep posting anime that's already been licensed in the West, which is considered "morally wrong", though the lawyers will tell you both kinds of distribution are technically against the law.

I'm wondering why you don't simply rent a DVD if you want to try it out?

Fair point, but where I live "Where from?" would be my answer, there is no way to even buy anime DVDs where I live, let alone rent them. I buy online or occasionally in London but round here, nada.

Posted by Theowne on 10.13.2007, 02:54 PM:

Amazon.co.uk operates a rental-by-post service. Rent 2 DVDs for 4 pounds. And they have a free trial available right now.

Posted by Saddletank on 10.13.2007, 05:25 PM:

Well I'm not really one of the internet generation but that just seems to be too much hassle to be brutally honest. In reality I'd rather get off my bottom and go to a DVD rental shop and rent over the counter. But there isn't anywhere near me that rents anime.

Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 10.13.2007, 07:19 PM:

lol, I've only seen few DVD's of anime for rental I've seen, and Whisper of the Heart is one and gets rented often. XD I need to find the person. Small area, shouldn't be too hard, lol.

I'm gonna have to find the first DVD for my cuz before myself. Between Fruits Basket and CLAMP work, it's hard..

Thanks. Now I can watch a couple of episodes before I decide if I want to buy it.
