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!

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.

fushigi yugi is the best anime i have ever seen! the guys are really cute (and if you are a guy reading this, then so are the girls i would guess). there are lots of inticate turns that you don't expect. this movie imparticular is great. not only is a continuation of the best anime ever written, it's got my favorite character, amiboshi in it!

Fushigi Yuugi is the best, because they characters are well developed. Okay, except for Tamahome. Hotohori is the most noble and illustrious character I've ever met in anime. He's the most gorgeous and beautiful person...Hotohori is too kakkoi! He doesn't get as much credit he deserves, because he's always in the palace...*poor Hotohori*

Don't buy Fushigi Yuugi from here! There are fan subs that are distributed for free and or charge only postage-handeling and price of the casset! You can get more for your money! look up Fushigi Yuugi fan subs on the internet!!!

Any anime with Tasuki (the cool fire haired fang boy) has got to be awesome (OK OK, the only series with him is Fushigi Yuugi). Lekka Shien forever!

In this volume of Fushigi Yuugi--you meet my absolute fave character--Tasuki. He is so cool! I also love the comedy in this tape.

I've got to say, my review might be biased, cuz Tasuki is the BEST in the whole series!!!!!! Anyway, the animation in this movie is just awesome and the comedy is hallarious. I never thought so much humour could be put into serious moments! If you want to hear more, just email me!

It took my friends literally years to find an anime that I would actually watch, and this was it. For once I can say I'm glad they're right! Of the series so far, this tape is easily the best. I hope it only continues to get better.
