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!

Lekka Shien this!!This tape is one of my favorite tapes,it's funny yet a magical in its own way!You name it Fushigi Yuugi has it!^_^I would buy this tape if I was you.Buy it you won't regret it!!

I have had the pleasure to watch this series. It may start off slow with a girl fantasizing about food, but the plot twists and rotates as she is thrown into another universe where she finds out she is apart of a greater plan to save an entire country by summoning a god named Suzaku, but first she must obtain its 7 seishi. On the way she learns about betrayal, death, and losing your love. The characters definitely add to the atmosphere. The music is excellent. The animation is wonderful. I suggest that you get this series.

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!

the story started out really slow but began to pick up the pace. half way through the series something very tragic happens and from there the everything goes down hill. tasuki, nuriko and chichiri are the only ones who keep the series interesting. Hotohori on the other hand is absolutely useless! hes only important in one major battle. 56 episodes is too many to go through to see the semi-good ending.

Tasuki is awsome in this, but the abscense of ChiChiri is kinda sad, since he isn't in the whole video! But anyway this is a must see cause Tasuki is awsome in this (however I agree his voice is to low for 17).

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*

I thought this tape overall kicked @$$!! I love Tasuki!! He Rules!! Accept I thought the voice they casted him with was a little too low. He's only 17, but his voice makes him sound like he's 35!! But don't let that discourage you from buying the tape, you get used to it pretty quickly. Another good thing about the tape is they kept the LEKKA SHIEN'S!! I thought that ruled. What I didn't get though, is when Genro(Tasuki's nickname) first called on his phantom wolves he used Japenese, but the second time he did he used English!! What the heck is that!! Oh, well. In conclusion: THIS TAPE RULES!! BUY IT!!
