This is an absulutly spectacular video! I can't wait for more tapes of the series to come out. If your a fan of Sailor Moon then I'm sure you'll love Fushigi Yugi just as much!

In this volume, Fushigi Yuugi really makes the transition from being a fun, light-hearted, conventional shoujo anime, to being a dark cautionary tale, with real emotional depth. It can be a very startling transition. If you're expecing more sweetness and light, from here on out, you won't find as much. However, if you're looking for good writing, good acting, and excellent character and plot development, you're looking for it in the right place. It's well worth buying the professional version, even if you have the fansubs; having seen both, I can definitely say that the professional translation is far superior.

This video has episodes 8, 9, and 10 of this wonderful series. The story just gets better and better! If you've seen other episodes, or you haven't seen any at all, what are you waiting for? Buy this one, you won't regret it.

This is an excellent series, my personal favorite. However, I've seen some of the other comments about the show, and I cannot agree with the contention that this can be recommended for all ages. No one under the age of 13/14 should be allowed to watch this. A very involved story, full of comedy, drama, love, betrayal, friendship, and great fight sequences. However, some themes should not be viewed by younger eyes. A must-see.

Gosh, this was a great video (I love Hotohori!...) but, i have to agree with the other reviews, the voices were not what i expected, especially Chichiri's (goodbye no da's, tear)! I thought Nuriko sounded good, and so did Hotohori and Tamahome, but Miaka...her voice is the most annoying ever! I think most Anime lovers would really enjoy this video, Chichiri is so cool, even though his voice is weird, but, if you've never heard the Japanese version, the voices are ok. I, personally, love the Manga, especially since Yu Watasi adds in all sorts of great extras,like Fushigi AKUGI (the malicious play)it's about a page long and it has scenes that are changed from the story to something real funny,i suggest you buy that too, if you're really serious about Anime. Anyone who enjoyed the VHS, would probably enjoy the Manga too. The ending theme song is great too! So all and all it's a great video, Hotohori still rocks, and go Fushigi Yugi, no da!

Miaka comes back into the book world to find Yui, but there's trouble in Konan! She must find the remaining suzaku seven fast!

Episode three is Chichiri's first. A must buy for all fans of the blue-haired hunk(I meant to say monk! I swear! ^_-)! If your a Chichiri lover I reccomend you buy the subtitled so you can hear his cute "no da".

I'm pretty new to the FY world, but it is by far the best anime i've ever seen! If you haven't watched any of the FY tapes yet, you don't know what you're missing! (Hey! Don't just sit there! Go! Go buy the first tape! I promise you won't be disappointed!) I wasn't going to type up a review, but this one was just too good to not be praised. (Yes, yes, I know i've only gotten to this tape so far, but i couldn't just pass it up!) This one is definitely good. Lot's of chemistry going on between Miaka and Tamahome; Nuriko also starts to dress like a man in this one. It's pretty much just Miaka/Tamahome sap, but its also got enough action in it to keep ya awake ^_^. Hmmmmmm...did i forget something? Oh! How could i forget! Chichiri, the wondering monk, is introduced! Yeah! Chichiri is so awesome! Oh, and one more thing, Yui is found in the Kutou Empire, mind corrupted, making her an enemy to the Suzaku seishi. o.o *gasp*

I think everyone is a tad too hard on Pioneer. I think they did relatively well and when some words can be translated as several different ones you just have to find the best in context word you can. I think this video is great! Awesome story and Chichiri is so great. HIGHLY recommend! (Good job Pioneer, some people appriciate you bringing FY to America.)

Fushigi Yugi is a wonderful anime series. The characters are all great. The only one that I don't care for is Miaka(the main character)who's a bit niave and just... anoying. Well that's just my opinion. See for yourself. Anyways, the story plot is great and it has comedy, action, tragedy, suspence, romance and more!This mainly focuses on Miaka and her chemistry between Tamahome and there adventures trying to find the susaku seven. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that the animation quality is a little poor at times. The animators must have gotten lazy. If your worried about which episode to buy, don't. They are all great. And if you like bishonen(fem-looking guys)than this is definantly for you. Over all this is a must see anime that you will love!
