Summary: Definetly worth it
Review: Okay, First I have to say that I never comment on anything unless it's terrible or terribly good. And this was it. This series is spectacular. The theme is kind of girly but a couple of my guy friends (and we're talking football jocks that only really like Jerry Springer) Could get into this series. The animation was beautiful. It was done in a slightly panned over style that takes some getting used to but over all done very well. The story line was very interesting and you could almost never guess what was happening. And I must say that the relationship between Tasuki an Tamahome is hilarious. Maybe it's my, lets just say interesting type of humor. Overall the series is one to own if you're into a romantic/adventurous/betrayal/fighting type series. And believe me, it has all of this roled up in one. But be warned it can be addiciting, so make sure to resort to some self control. By and By, get the DVD set. Way better. Sincere., A gigantic fan

Summary: It's So Addictive!!!
Review: Hi Everyone ^_^ Before I begin, I must warn you that you might become addicted to the series which means you might have to buy the Box of Seriyu too! It starts off with a gluttonous girl named Miaka (She's a lot like Serina from Sailor Moon) who gets sucked into a book. I don't want to give it away but a lot of intersting things happen to her and her friends both inside and outside the book. This at times reminds me of a Soap opera but it isn't because theres a lot more to it than people whining about there own lives which soaps have a tendancy of doing. Within the story you meet a lot of interesting characters, one if which you'll probably grow found of (Tasuki's my man ^_^) The style is a blend of romance, comedy with an adventure/fantasy touch to it. I'll admit it doesn't have that much martial arts compared to other anime but the story line proves good enough! Which doesn't mean there aren't any good fights, cause there certainly are! Its likely to be a show that females will enjoy more then the guys, Sorry guys :P And incase you don't know japanese (as the case with me) it has footnotes on the menu so you can understand some of the pun. Overall this has to be one of the best shows I've seen in a really long time, but buyer beware its so addictive!!! Thanks a lot for reading this, I hope i was somewhat helpful to you all. Buh bye ^_^

If not this one may change you mind.

Summary: Laugh and Cry
Review: Oh, I just LOVE this anime series! ^^ I bought this with birthday and Christmas money, and it was worth every penny! I laughed so hard my sides ached, and cried my eyes out. I adore all the characters, I don't have a favorite. (Except for the Emperor of Kutou, I hate his guts, but I really don't know of anyone that likes him...)

Summary: One of the best anime ever!!!!
Review: This is one of the best anime I have ever seen and I've seen a few believe me. It has everything I love about anime in it. Romance, Action, Comedy and Tradegy. Furthermore it's full of surprises. I wanted to get the manga of this but I got the anime first and then I'm going to get the manga. I prefer watching to reading. One good thing is that all the characters are sympathetic bar one in my opinion. I really hate Nakago. Plus when Tamahome is controlled by Nakago he is really sexy. One of the best looking costumes I've ever seen in an anime. Oh and I like Tasuki's. My fave characters have to be Tasuki, Nuriko, Tamahome and Miaka. They're brilliant comedy characters. I can't wait to get the second box set. And the cliffhanger was really weepy. I went through five hankys but I'll let you find that out for yourself. Anyway all I can say is BUY THIS! IT'S BRILLIANT AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Summary: Breathtaking!!
Review: I bought this Box set and sat in my room for hours on end just watching and re-watching the episodes so that I could understand every single movement, saying, and angle of the characters. I know what your thinking!!! So don't think it!! Anyhow I realized that after watching the first few episodes I was addicted! Lets see, how do I say this, okay, all at once Fusighi Yugi is like adventurous, heartthrobbing, and romantic. It has it's sad moments too. Which just adds on to the plot, which is brilliant! It has action, a decent amount of gore, but not too bad, a little too mature for the younger viewers, but if the parents are willing to let you watch then definately WATCH. It has really good lessons in it to!! I would tell what it's about, but I'm sure someone has already done that. I'm lazy, but lazy enough to cheer people on to buy this box set. After you buy this box set buy the Seryui Box set and then the last 3 volumes. OOOOOH, this anime was so good that I think I'm at a loss for words. For me let's just say, "surprise surprise!!" ~Sage

Summary: WOW!!!!!!
Review: i was hesitant to buy this because of the price tag..i usually buy the first dvd of a series to "test it out"...but after the reviews i decided to gamble(after all "LAIN" cost me close to $100 dollars and that is only 13 episodes)....lain was my favorite but she has been unseated by miaka. here's my story: the box arrived shortley before i went to work...i set it aside went to work,came home and still let it sit there.Anyway after dinner i popped in the first dvd and was hooked...i watched all 26 episodes and sat there in awe....for about ten more minutes,then i went online and ordered the second season... i should also say i had to call in sick to work because i was up all night. after i called i toyed with the idea of watching the series again...but decided to let my dvd player rest..

Summary: Highly recommended
Review: Fushigi Yuugi is a 52-episode Anime series slightly similar to Sailor Moon...only multi-times better and much less repetitive. Yuu Watase does a great job in making it clear which scenes she means to be funny/kawaii, and which ones she means to be serious/sad. The SD scenes are beyond hilarious, the serious scenes are deep and moving, the death scenes will have you soak up a tissue box *eyes get quivery just at the thought of that particular part in episode 33*. The characters is definately one of Fushigi Yuugi's strongest points. Hey, when you get a group of guys that are almost too bishounen to be bishounen, what's not to like? No really, Yuu Watase has created some of the most lovable characters in Anime (*cough* Nuriko *coughcough*), anyone will tell you that. A narcistic emperor, a purple-haired drag (Nuri-chan! ^^;), a wondering monk, a hot-headed bandit whose afraid of the water, a thirteen-year-old genius (who looks like he's six--very kawaii), a brush-haired doctor, and 'little ghost' are a few examples. The DVD set is both in English (dubbed) and Japanese, with the subtitle option up to you. The Suzaku set includes an interview with the creator, an art gallery, relationship chart ^_^, and more. The second (Seiryuu) includes 19 (or 20--forgot) music videos (favorites: Hotohori's and Nuriko's songs), commercials, line gallery, art gallery, and more. FY is one of the best Anime (if not THE best) ever created, and deserves every syllable of its raging reviews. (as well as every cent anyone spends on it)

Summary: Overrated
Review: On the basis of the glowing reviews listed for this box set and the Seiryu box set, I purchased both box sets, overpriced as these box sets may be. That was a mistake. First of all, this series suffers from a fatal flaw - the main character Miaka is just plain annoying. All her whining about her feelings for Tamahome becomes boring and repetitive after a while. It's like the writers needed some fluff to stretch out the story to fill 52 episodes. (Frankly, this story could have been told in half the time.) There doesn't seem to be much character development, and what there is of it seems a bit far fetched and unbelievable. Secondly, the drawing and animation isn't that great, which is understandable since it was a televised series, but for the price they charge for these box sets, you would expect more. Third, since much of the series depends on character development and interaction, rather than action sequences, you would think they could have pulled it off better than they did. Little time is spent with the other characters - it's mostly Miaka. Anyone thinking of buying this series might want to reconsider it - perhaps buy it used or borrow a friend's and watch a few episodes for yourself. I wish I did.
