Summary: Fushigi Yugi - The Mysterious Play - Volume 1 Suzaku Box Set
Review: This is one of my most favorite anime ever. The VHS is nothing like the DVD set. It has so many features, it's worth the price. If you you love anime especially the Fushigi Yugi series, join Miaka, Tamahome, & HotoHori on an epic adventure to bring Miaka home!

Summary: Excellent!!!
Review: I wasn't really introduced to Fushigi Yugi by anyone. I merely wanted to discover a new anime technique and use it in my art. I bought the fifth novel in the manga series and read it very quickly. It was soo hard to put down that I simply couldn't, and I read straight through it. Little had I realized that I had fallen in love with the series. I soon bought the rest of the manga, and finally received both Suzaku and Seiryu dvd sets for Christmas (all in one month!). Thats how fast you can become attached to the series. The Suzaku dvd is wonderful. The series really doesn't take a lot of time setting up the plot, which is great, compared to some animes. It does become a little tedious though when the volley of names continue for half an hour. The animation isn't anything exciting but is simple, and gets the point across. Also, there are a few differences between the manga and the anime, which tend to become annoying (i.e. Chichiri says 'you know' at the end of sentences instead of 'no da'. You get used to them fairly quickly though. FY is a well-rounded anime, with its moments of both happiness and sorrow. Its a good combination though. All of the characters have their unique traits that make the story interesting, and the plot it unpredictable, always leaving you on the edge of your seat. In fact, even at the end of the dvd set, you keep hoping there's another episode to resolve the situation, even though you know there isn't one. Be prepared to buy the Seiryu set after you finished watching Suzaku. Fushigi Yugi is a great anime for anyone of any age and I greatly recommend it! ;)

Summary: The Enchanting Story
Review: This anime touched my heart completly and is by far to me the most interesting anime I've ever watched. The love, the drama, the funny, the sadness, the rage, was all contained in the "Mysterious Play" It had me so moved that I even wished that something of such existed in the real world.

Summary: Sugoi na no da!
Review: Fushigi Yugi was the best purchase on a whim I've ever made. I'd heard some people mention it and decided to give it a try. I've never made a better decision. I was hooked after the first ten minutes!The storyline is fantastically woven, the characters are insanely well-designed... words can not describe how wodnerful this series is. I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like it. Like any show, it has it's flaws... the dub is atrocious, Miaka and Tamahomecan get annoying at times... the fact that "No Da" is translated as "You know".. You'll love the good guys, hate the vilians, laugh, cry, and have no idea what to do with yourself once it's over... Fushigi Yugi is brilliant. it's a comedy, a drama, a romance, a fantasy, an action adventure... not to be missed.

Summary: Good Anime but not great.
Review: This is a very good anime. I got all the episodes off e-bay and spent a TON of money. I have to admit that I somewhat regret it.even though it was entertaining it was kinda, a little annoying at times. First I'll tell you about the good things so that you don't stop reading this out of boredom.
For one thing it's very funny and you constantly want to know what it gonna happen next. Next, the characters are drawn beautifully and the guys look so good and have extremely likeable personalities. Lastly, it had a nice ending. I hate sad ones. If I'm gonna sit through 20 hours of a show I'd like to know it'll end without me thowing my chair at the tv.
Now for the annoying stuff. Miaka is absolutely the biggest moron ever to grace the Earth. I couldn't understand why they found it necessary to make practically all the people in the show fall in love with her. She is also so unbelievably selfish. She'll sit there and watch her friends die for her sake and not do a single thing about it. Then she does the most stupidest things that hurts even more people in the end. Sadly, this thing is the main character.
Other than this the show is quite pleasant. However I do feel that I did have no desire to watch the show more than once. It's just a one time kinda thing. Borrow it from a friend if you want my truthful opinion. It's not worth all the money.

Summary: A joy, even with imperfections.
Review: I recently revived my interest in Fushigi Yuugi after seeing an episode at my friend's house. I realized how much I enjoyed the series, and bought the first boxed set (Suzaku). It arrived quickly, and after watching the videos once again, I remember why I liked it so much...and found some things that bugged me. To start with, the series has marvelous characterization. Each character is well-rounded with their own individual skills, flaws, and quirks. Hotohori, gallant emperor and at times submissive to narcissism can at times feel inferior. Always-smiling Nuriko, never hesitating to encourage others, possesses a secret sadness of his own. Even the comedic Chichiri has a story behind the mask. The only flaw in characterization would have to be the main character, Miaka. She's peppy and cute in the first few episodes, but as time goes on she really begins to grate on one's nerves. She is placed on a pedestal and is truly unworthy of all the affection she receives. You will be letting out your share of winded sighs as yet again, another character confesses his love for Miaka. However, she's only one character, and the rest of the cast definitely compensates. The plot is also very entertaining. It's hard not to get into the story, it pulls you along and won't let go. It always succeeds in pleasantly surprising you (well, except for volume ten...but that's not in this box set ^_^) and keeps you entertained. It can become repetitive at times, and you might want to scream, "WE KNOW YOUR NAMES ALREADY!" after another volley of "Miaka!" "Tamahome!" "Miaka!" "Tamahome!", but such occasions are rare. The soundtrack is nothing special, there are a few great tracks yet some you don't really care for, but you have to admit that the ending song is awesome. XD The original character songs are great as well, yet you'll have to buy the OSTs or download them to get to experience the joy. ^_^ On the topic of sound, I have to say that the voice actors are all incredible (in the subtitled, the dub is...uh...not so incredible). The casting is exquisite. The voices match each character to a T, but the real jewels are Nuriko's voice, Tamahome's voice, and Tasuki's voice. You can tell the actors really enjoy what they are doing and are giving each performance their all. I lurv the voices muchly. Lastly, the art. The animation is not the best, but compared to Sailor Moon, any anime art looks better. You can tell that the different sets of animators have very different styles. One episode might wow you with its aesthetics, the next might disappoint. The animation is never truly awful, but it leaves something to be desired. Nonetheless, it's a pleasant watch. Overall, I love Fushigi Yuugi. It's an incredibly fun, incredibly addictive romp that you'll grow to love. Yes, it has its flaws, but really, nothing's perfect. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and hopefully, you will as well.

Summary: Miaka and Yui
Review: I absolutely hate Miaka and Yui because they are both (...). For instance, Miaka ended up having all the bishounen in the Suzaku side fall in love with her. Now, I don't really understand this, since I think Miaka is only a freakish (...)who constantly binges on food. Now, Yui is very stupid also and doesn't deserve Nakago's attention(even though he's only using her). She's also whiny. Other than these two characters and Tamahome, the series is really cool with better animations than the manga(believe me, the profiles stink). Nice fighting scene between Hotohori and Tamahome too.
