5.0 out of 5 stars It will tickle your funny bone, June 9, 2000

This review is from: Fushigi Yugi - The Mysterious Play - The Dying Land (Vol. 5) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Fushgi Yugi series is about a Japanese school girl who is transported into another world: ancient China. This story may seem to be for younger kids, but it's more targeted for the teenage audience (13up). It is not a kids video, so if you're thinking about getting it for your 7 year old niece, bad idea. This time in Miaka's adventures, she meets 2 new charaters of the Suzaku Seven. Once all of the Suzaku 7 are gathered, she gets one wish: to return home. I highly advise this video for those of you who like the Fushigi Yugi series, and for those who love to laugh: the new character is hysterical, he reminds me of a royal bandit, and what's with his vampire looking teeth, and he claims that he hates girls because they always get him into trouble, well then, why does he fall for Miaka!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fushigi Yuugi rocks. Simple as that., May 16, 1999

This review is from: Fushigi Yugi - The Mysterious Play - The Dying Land (Vol. 5) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've watched quite a lot of anime and I have to say that FY is the best anime made from a shoujo manga I've encountered. The seishi are all quite lovely,really...and I think of Nuriko as an example as not being tied down by traditions. If only I had a brother as devoted as that. And we meet the one and only Tasuki in this vol! Aiya! The only major complaint is about Miaka. Why are all the heroines so stupid? About fansubs...isn't it illegal to distribute them or something like that now that Pioneer has rights to 26 episodes so far? Please buy the official videos since if they don't make money Pioneer might stop selling them and at the same time stop fansubs.

This tape continues Miaka's search for the Susaku 7. She finds one of them in the red haired leader of the bandits, he's so much fun. He has a hard time figuring out the love triangle going on in Miaka's life and he and Nuriko clash many times. The story that truly sells this video is that of Lady Shoka. Her story is the reason this tape is titled "The Dying Land". It will leave you wanting to cry. It is so bittersweet. Thumbs up, many thumbs up.
