Summary: Great for most...others - read this.
Review: It's a beautiful series with a great mix of humor, joy & sorrow. I'd highly recommend it to anyone that is fairly open minded or wants their children to be...but for those who are not, or do not raise your children to be, you might not want this. It's got a few, maybe 2 at most, swear words, some love triangles (some with "forbidden" or not always excepted same genders), also a very brief Miaka nudity...but it's very PG13. I let my children watch it & we have no problems with them not understanding or liking it. But I just wanted you to be forwarned. Thanks for reading. ^_^

Summary: Without a doubt, one of the best anime......
Review: This anime series was first introduced to me through the anime club on campus but ever since I saw the first episode, I was hooked. It's epic storyline outlines the life of a junior high school girl trapped in ancient China during a time of great turmoil and conflict. As anime goes, it's not one of the best drawn however it is one with the most captivating storyline and humorous overtones. Besides being just a comic relief, there lies a substantial storyline not unlike Chinese's Romance of the Three Kingdoms (if you ever read the book or played the game). Hell, even my girlfriend who don't usually like anime enjoyed this immensely. It brought her to tears and then brought her down with laughter. This is an absolute must for every anime fan. The only thing your regret about buying this is when you come to the end and you're thirsting for more. Hopefully the second DVD collection will come out soon....hopefully :)

Summary: Overall a great shoujo anime
Review: I'm an anime fan, so I guess I'm a little partial. I loved Fushigi Yuugi and go a few friends hooked on it too. This title is basically for shoujo (girls). The audio is great, on my PC it ran fine and clear. The songs were wonderful, but if you play it straight you get to hear the same opening and ending over and over and over again. :-) The DVD feature were also good, but considering this was my first DVD-anime I had no idea what to expect, so don't take the features into consideration from my review. I didn't use them much even though I saw the button. The video didn't get a perfect because on my machine the top sliver was blurred the entire way through. It might only be my DVDrom though. Oh, the dialouge. Personally I watched it all the way through with the Japanese and subtitles. For some reason I hated the english voices. I mean Tasuki doesn't sound like Tasuki with the english dialouge on! It's also really interesting to see what they changed when they did the dub, by puting english subtitles and english overdubb on. To every teenage girl thinking of buying this: Do NOT fall in love with Tamahome. Tasuki is WAY cooler!

Summary: I have to agree with Rachelle. . . This anime rox
Review: Being a long time anime fan, I tend not to be too enthusiastic about new anime. However, while starting out a bit slow, this 4 dvd set quickly picks up the pace and gets the audience involved. The story is along the lines of "The Neverending Story" where the main characters get sucked into the story in a book at the local library. From this unassuming begining, you get totally drawn into the world the characters inhabit. In contention for my favorite anime of all time.

Summary: Fushigi Yugi
Review: I have to say that this is one of the few anime series that I actually love. At first, Fushigi Yugi seems to be a bit childish, but after a while it grows on you. The main character, Miaka, is a bit on the naive side, but this only adds to her charm. All in all, Fushigi Yugi combines comedy and drama quite well. I really enjoyed this, and I think you will too.

Summary: A unique anime love story
Review: I was expecting a sappy love story however you really develop an appreciation for the different characters and how they overcome personal obstacles. The second season should have a little more "punch" to it as Miaka (the lead female) starts to grow up and accept more responsiblity for her actions. An A+...

Summary: Rock the Boat
Review: The Fushigi Yugi movies are addictive, but also can get annoying. The dubbing has a few flaws, because the main character, Miaka, gets very very annoying with her stupid act, and chumpy voice. Her friend Yui is also very annoying, and they both ruin the movies. Another thing is, that the intermission breaks are very annoying. You will be at a very serious part and then this annoying music and chibi characters come out. If it was made more seriously, and had a little more depth it would be the ultimate, but right now it's just a great movie that grates on your nerves a little bit. I would reccomend renting the first one, not buying right away. If you get addicted than go ahead and buy, but give it a test run first! >>cheers<<

Summary: Fushigi Yuugi- And a Good Sized Chunk of It Too!
Review: Fushigi Yuugi is what I like to refer to as a 'gateway anime' It's a really nice show to use to introduce people to the concept of Anime. While it is considered to be a shojo show, there's enough action and adventure to keep your guy friends interested, and enough slushy romance and gorgeous guys to keep your girl friends watching. This set has fully half of the 52 episode T.V. series that aired in Japan, a big enough chunk to get you hooked on the adventures of Miaka and the Suzaku Seven. I applaud Pioneer for releasing it this way and only wish that other anime importers would do the same. It's so frustrating sometimes to try to collect the longer series here in the U.S., but not so with Fushigi Yuugi! As for the translation it is mostly good, and even the dubbing isn't as bad as it could be. Also adored the relationship chart ^_^ Unfortunately, the font used in the subtitles is just a little too thin, and colors bleed to make it kind of hard to read on smaller screens.

Summary: A great Box of Anime, from Pioneer
Review: Well first off, this anime might not appeal to everyone(Mostly those who are just into anime) but as a series, it self, it's a masterpiece of animation and storytelling. And while it may be a "Shoujo"(girls) anime, I really felt it had something for everyone: Romance, intrigue(? on spelling), and a little comedy on the side to keep it from getting heavy, and there are moments where it can begin to get heavy. Now while the English voice acting is half backed and would have gotten 3 stars from me, due to DVD's dual language track format, I'm quite alright with it and the translation is just fine(somethings are different but it's of small concern). All in all, anime fans time to embrace eternity and enter this "Mysterious Play" ^_^... Ja Ne(Bye)

Summary: A format other series need to follow!
Review: A splendid presentation by Pioneer. The combination of perfect packaging and large number of back-to-back episodes make you wonder why other companies can't follow suite! Anime companies take note...I'm leary to pay $25 for two episodes, but you give me 26 for $140 and you have a fan. The story is very good and enjoyable. Since getting stationed in Europe my DVD purchasing has gone up tremendously due to not being able to understand local TV. This kept me captivated for a good week and a half (650 minutes folks)! A good starting point for someone just getting into anime. Why not four stars? Sometimes the animation was replaced with comical or rough sketches. While Animes often do this, I felt they would do it at the wrong times. This really took away from the outstanding story that was behind it. Don't get me wrong though...a definitive item for any Anime library.
