TBH, It was amazing when I first saw it- I was in love.
But As I've rewatched this since, I have quite a bit to say.
To start off, the story line was pretty good- it was a completely original idea, and I loved the zodiac signs and the 'god' as Akito and all that good stuff- but looking at it in retrospect, they left a lot of strings hanging and it was quit unfinished. I'm currently on chapter 76 of the manga, and looking back now, the loose ends are even more apparent- so if you're a person that is obsessed with a nearly perfect story line, you may not want to watch this and go insane. Because there is a BUTTLOAD of plot holes EVERYWHERE.
Now to the art- the art was decent, but I didn't really like the style, which is probably the only reason why I gave it a 4- the colors were kind of dull (I seem to only remember Kyo's hair as a bright color, for whatever reason) and the drawing style was just okay.
The sound was amazing though- great sound affects, the voicing was great, and they got most of it down right.
Character though- I loved everyone's character EXCEPT Tohru's. I don't know why, but to me, she just seems like a Mary Sue. Everyone loves her, everyone falls in love with her, she's got the dead parents, and she's so nice that strangers took her in, and she's innocent and pretty and all the jazz. I mean, who wouldn't want to be all that? But I feel like they didn't give her enough character. Everyone else was pretty good though- even though I kind of didn't like Yuki all that much- he was slightly annoying in my opinion.
But regardless of all that, it provided for great entertainment when I watched it, so I have to give it a 6- it's not all that bad, despite my rants. In my opinion, it's worth watching, but only if loose ends and poor main characters don't bother you. :D
