Summary: ONE GREAT ANIME
Review: This series is about a girl named miaka and how she was transported into the book of the four gods. The first time she was there with her friend Yui, they were attacked by slavetraded and were rescued by a boy with an ogre symbol on his forward. Being the teenagers they are they fall in love with him. Later we find out that Miaka is the priestess of suzaku and how she has to find the suzaku seven..

I think this is a wonderful anime with a great story line but like most of the series that i read first as manga, I was really disappointed with the voices. Miakas voice is way too high pitched and makes her really annoying. Other then that i cant find many other flaws in it. I highly recommend it and any of Yuu watase's works for anyone who likes shojo.

Summary: Awsome
Review: Fushigi Yugi is an awsome series. Even though im into mecha anime this series is still worth watching.

Fushigi Yugi in my opinion is a comedy. Even though it has drama, lots of mushy mushy love, and action it falls more into comedy. It falls into comedy because when stupid stuff happens the animation changes and the characters look funny (they look like little people with fat heads).

The only thing I dislike was when Yui, the preistest of seiyu, for about half the series is fighting Miaka, the preistest of Suzaku, because she felt that Miaka abandoned her for a boy Tomahome, who is part of the Suzaku Seven, who she liked also, but overall this anime is awsome and worth watching.

Summary: First Half GREAT - The Second Half BETTER!
Review: I just finished watching the last episode of the series, and I feel as though this series is grossly underrated by the anime-viewing public. I will admit, I am guilty of it as well. I watched a few episodes of the English dub and decided that I didn't really care so much for the animation (not nearly up to par with Yu Watase's artwork in the manga), I wasn't so crazy about the voice of Miaka, and I thought that maybe I should just stick with the manga.

But then, the more watched, the more I realized that this was a great series, with deeper messages about friendship, true love and the attrocities of war. I began to see why Gilles Poitras, author of Anime Essentials: Everything a fan needs to know, placed Fushigi Yugi in his list of 41 recommended titles. I have to admit that the first half of the series pales in comparison to the second half, but you have to get through part one to get to part two, so give this series a chance. It's worth it in the end.
