Basket Of Light [DualDisc] [Remastered] - Pentangle

More than a few Baskets

Advantages: wide range of stock, low prices
Disadvantages: only 4 branches in the UK

Country Baskets is a wholesaler's for the creative. There are four branches throughout the UK, based in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. My review is based on the Leeds branch, address as below Ardsley Mills Bradford Road East Ardsley Leeds WF3 2DW Tel: 0113 218 9090 The Leeds branch is set up in an old mill. Ardsley Mills were closed for several years, until Country Baskets decided to use the Mills to launch their Leeds branch. The Mills are still in their original state, and to be honest, unless you were actually looking for Country Baskets it could be quite easy to miss. There is a reasonably large car park at the rear of the mills, that also leads to the entrance. Upon entering it's a little confusing which way to go as you have basically just stepped into what appears to be an abandoned mill. There ...

Review of Fruits Basket - Vol. 1 - A Great Transformation And (Animated) (Dubbed) (Subtitled) (DVD)

Fruits Basket DVD 1

Advantages: Fantastic characters, great and original story line.
Disadvantages: That the anime only covers so little of the manga story.

rare occasions where I preferred the English dub to the Japanese with English subtitles. Main reasons being that I disliked the Japanese cast for Yuki Sohma, and that the English cast did the series justice and didn't sound wooden at all. Music: The background music (BGM) fit the series well, and is for the most part light and pleasant. Nothing special, though, even the opening and ending theme are non spectacular. So though it fits well, Fruits Basket isn't a series I would buy the soundtrack for. Value for money: Amazing. Seriously, this disc has the first 6 half-hour episodes. It is a 26-part anime series, and fits on 4 discs total (you can also buy a special boxed set of the 4) whereas most 26-part series' can drag them out for 7 or even 8 if they're clever (a la Escaflowne). From manga to anime: As with most anime series Fruits ...
