Summary: This is a story about a young girl who opened a book...
Review: At first glance, Fushigi Yuugi appears to be a mediocre series, based on the exploits of a shallow girl that every man seems to fall in love with, and no one knows why.However, upon a second glance, the story opens to reveal characters that are much more complex than they first appear. Miaka, for instance, appears to be a flightly girl, with nothing more serious on her mind than food. However, as the series progresses, it is revealed that her capactiy for selflessness and sacrifice knows no bounds. She would willingly die to save others, and it is this incredibly generous nature of hers that redeems her as a heroine. Fushigi Yuugi is a highly complex story that must be seen in its entirety. There is no repetition, unlike Sailor Moon and Utena where they often use stock footage to fill in the animation time. Fushigi Yuugi is an orginal story with a beginning, a middle and an end, even though it also has the potential to move on in new directions. A highly engaging DVD that is worth the price, if only to be able to switch back and forth between the Japanese and English actors. ^.^

Summary: Pure Magic!
Review: My favorite anime. The story is exciting and intriguing, the characters are deep and hilarious, and the guys are the hottest in all of anime. Let me emphasize this- amazingly attractive. If you're a woman between 13 and 30 you cannot miss these tapes- and you might as well buy the box set, because once you see one you'll need to see the rest. It's what we wish Sailor Moon had been. As charming as Disney but with a depth perfect for adults. Black and white become gray- it confronts us with reality while showing us the escape we always dream of. I think we can all see ourselves in these characters. It's a rollercoaster ride of laughter, tears, and awe. A powerful story glittered with humor and charm. Pure magic.

Summary: Fushigi Yuugi = My favorite anime.
Review: Fushigi Yuugi is the story of two Japanese girls who get sucked into a fictional version of ancient China through an old Chinese book called the "Universe of the Four Gods." The main character is one of the two girls, Miaka Yuki, a sometimes ditzy / always hungry junior high school student. In order to get back to the real world, she has agreed to fulfill a legend in the book's world by becoming the Priestess of Suzaku. She has to gather her 7 celestial warriors in order to summon Suzaku and have her wishes granted. The character development is excellent. Through a mixture of comedy and drama, you can't help but get attached to each of the characters. I highly recommend this anime to everyone - 16 or older. As other reviewers have said, FY does tackle some pretty serious issues now, and gets very serious in the second season - see the Seryiu box set. It's a lot of money, but it's worth it. This small package contains 8 VHS tapes worth of anime! It has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard, lovable characters, and an awesome story that's filled with emotion. It's just great. Without a doubt, this is my favorite anime. If you haven't seen Fushigi Yuugi yet, you don't know what you're missing.

Summary: Oh so sad!
Review: I actually have read the FY manga and I really enjoyed it. The anime, however, is really expensive so I didn't think about it twice. But then a lot people told me that I would love it. All I can say is THANK YOU to those people who told me to buy it. Of course I'm still cringing when I think of how much money I spent on it and of how much money the second half is going to cost me but it was really worth it! The storyline is wonderfully set up, the manga is a bit different but they mostly implement each other very well. Although it is a lot of shonen (girl), there is plenty to see if you like action. Some of the fight scenes got really bloody as well. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone under 13. And this is not for someone who doesn't like sad movies/anime... it made me cry at least 5 or 6 times and I don't usually cry in movies. Yu Watase apparently did this so that the characters would seem more real and empathetic. It was rather well done, however, with the humorous experiences set in between sad moments which made the emotional impact a bit smaller. It is plenty sad though and I think this is mostly due to the fact that the eyes are drawn with so much care in this anime that you can almost feel the character's pain just by looking in his/her eyes. Buy it as soon as you can!

Summary: Romance, Action, WAFF... FY has it ALL!
Review: First let me say that I'm not too much into Shoujo anime, but I'm going to make an exception for an exceptional anime. Fushigi Yuugi TOTALLY ROCKS! The characters are 3 dimensional and most of them have very realistic personalities (I know a girl who's a lot like Miaka). The viewers are taken on an emotional rollercoaster with the characters. If you like romance stories you'll absolutely LOVE Fushigi Yuugi. Whether you're a guy or girl you'll fall in love with the characters. As other reviews have mentioned, it does become stale a few times, but they are few and far between. Fushigi Yuugi has definitely taken a place among my favorite animes. The DVD sound quality is also excellent and the picture is crisp and clear throughout most of it. It's everything I'd expect from a Pioneer DVD release; that is, excellent quality.

Summary: Fushigi Yugi-Mysterious Play- VHS Box Set
Review: Fushigi Yugi is one of the COOLEST series I have ever seen. Its well worth the money you spend on it. I can't think of anything I didn't like about it, the plot is strong throw out the hole first box set, and it focuses on every character not just one. I recommend Fushigi Yugi to any who likes to watch anime. I would also recommed The Slayers its just as good as Fushigi Yugi. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THE SECOND BOX SET COMES OUT!!!!!!!

Summary: Totally awesome!!!And EXTREMELY addictive!
Review: Fushigi Yugi is one of the most exciting animes I have seen. I am a fan of Slayers, Sailor Moon, Macross, Ranma 1/2 and several others but Fushigi Yugi just keeps me coming back for more. I ordered the first box set and am eagerly awaiting Pioneer's release of the next half of the series. Miaka, Tamahome, Hotohori, and others will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. The strained "friendship" between Miaka and Yui is put to the ultimate test and the Miaka, Tamahome and Yui love triangle keeps the viewer eagerly awaiting the next scene. This is a great anime. There is romance, betrayal, action, comedy, it's got it all. I definately recommend it! But b/c of some of the content I would recommend it to the 16 or above audience. Buy it! You won't regret it!

Summary: Sugoi! (Great! )
Review: I am an ambitious (though still amateur) anime collector; sinceI don't have a VCR, I only collect DVDs. To date, I have about $1500 worth of anime DVDs. Suffice it to say that the Fushigi Yugi Suzaku box set is one of the crowning jewels of my collection. It's a very touching and engaging story, with characters you come to positively love. It's quite refreshing to see a show with an emphasis on character interaction rather than combat or fanservice; granted, this is shoujo anime, but I'm still hooked (and I'm a guy, for any of you fellas thinking about buying). In the last 3 days, I've gotten 4 of my friends hooked as well, 3 of them male. As it stands, I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite character... I am drawn to them all, even the villains! Truly a masterpiece...I eagerly await the Seiryu box set slated for release later this year.

Summary: WAI!!! Fushigi Yugi!!!
Review: Ok, my name is Franny and I recommend this Anime. It's the best one I've seen. However, the reason I'm writing this is that I want to warn everyone out there who gets addicted to anime, and other fantasy. I am warning you: IF YOU GET ADDICTED TO FANTASY EASILY, DO NOT BUY THIS!!! I, personally, couldn't sleep until I had downloaded the theme song from napster. But, I have an obsessive personality. If you do plan on getting it GET THE SUBTITLED VERSION!!! Subs are always better then dubbed. It's the BEST ANIME in the world!!
