Summary: Can't wait for Volume 2!
Review: I never heard of Fushigi Yugi, so I took a chance and bought this box set. I was expecting an action packed type show like Dragonball Z, but it wasn't. It has a good mixture of action, drama, and humor with an interesting storyline. The only downside is that it takes quite a few episodes to get the story going.

Summary: GO MIAKA
Review: Anime at it's best! I have seen many anime, and this has got to be one of the top 3. Like Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon, The main charater is ditzy and LOVES to eat. I find Miaka saying something that I would have expected Usagi-chan to say. Unlike Sailormoon though, there really is no growth in Miaka's personality. She still acts shallow and ditzy. Even so, the story and animation are top notch.

Summary: Lekka SHIEN!
Review: This is one of the greatest anime series EVER now immortalized on DVD. My only complaint is that it only comes as a box set, but hey, it still rules. I just hope the next one is blue with a dragon on the cover... I won't lie when I say that this a truly amazing anime. It has great art, animation, music, character development, romance, fighting, war, death, betrayal... a little something for everyone. Plus sometimes it's just damn funny. A true classic.

Summary: Fushigi Yugi: Mysterious Play
Review: Fushigi Yugi means Mysterious Play, or Mysterious game. For those who have not seen this anime, I will give u a brief summary. A teenage girl finds a book that takes her into another world, full of magic and mystery. As she turns the page she becomes part of the book. She finds out she is Suzaku no Miko( Priestess of the Red Phoenix. She must find her seven 'seishi' or warriors. She stumbles her way into a romance involving herself and one of her seishi, the money luvin' heartthrob, Tamahome. It's a shoujo (girlish kinda) anime, but that does not mean males do not like it, i know several who do. The animation isn't the best, but it's pretty good, and the plotline is awesome and the characters are lovable. It's a perfect gift, for a friend or yourself! However, note 2 parents: this is a judgement call. Is your child mature enough to handle rape, assault, death, war, or homosexuality? Chances are if your child can handle other animes, he or she can handle this one. However, I'll give this a Mature-14-year- old-most-likely-best-for-a-15-year-old-or-older-rating. Overall, well worth the $140 bucks your shelling out! (Buy it on this site, because everywhere else it's $200) Enjoy it!

Summary: so when is box2 coming?
Review: Worth it. Great buy.Really great stuff here. A little slow at the start, but builds up momentum really fast. Extremely strong character development. Nice sound, vivid color, 650+ minutes of drama, comedy, romance, action... even cheese! it's everything you want in an anime. This is almost kid friendly. Some scenes might be disturbing to young, young kids. I recommend for kids around 15 up. Pioneer did a great job (once again)... we are definitely buying box 2 when it comes out. Only negative comment is on the packaging...though nice and attractive, it is somewhat flimsy (similar to the Tenchi Muyo Ultimate Edition) and will wear out at the edges each time you take the plastic sleaves out. I would have preferred an ordinary plastic case.

Review: This is such an awesome anime series! The characters are wonderful, engaging, and charming (especially Hotohori-sama!) and the animation and music are excellent.

Summary: It's good, ya know?
Review: Romance (LOTS of romance), humor, drama, and magic all rolled into one. WOW! Characters that are all endearing -- it's really hard to pick a favorite -- and villains that make you want to grind your teeth. An extremely likeable heroine, a well-motivated antagonist, two gorgeous contending males, and well-defined supporting characters. Engrossing storyline that is chock full of hints of more to come. Yes, it's probably for more mature audiences due to some nudity prat falls and adult themes, but it's incredible. This series is like a good book -- once you pick it up you can't stop until you get to the end. One request though: if you're going to watch it, watch the subtitled version. The dub is okay, but the original is much, MUCH better.

Summary: GREAT SERIES!
Review: I am a great fan of anime and this is a very good example of it. The animation is wonderful and the colors are vibrant and rich. A lot of work went into making this. And now that the first 26 episodes have been released on DVD, I can enjoy them whenevr I want. I can hardly wait for the other set!
