4.0 out of 5 stars Even bad dubbing can't being this one down, August 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fushigi Yugi - The Mysterious Play - Summoning of Suzaku Vol. 8) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is terrific and heartbreaking. I never really bought the Tamahome/Miaka romance, but these last two installments have convinced me that this is one of the most romantic shoujo series around. The dubbing could use a little work; Tasuki, the Sieryuu twins and Keisuke Yuuki were given rather grating voices, but I happen to love the dubbed Miaka's voice. Still, if you can afford it, go for subtitles. By the way, OAV stands for Original Animation Video. It can also be written as OVA.

5.0 out of 5 stars It just gets better and better!, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fushigi Yugi - The Mysterious Play - Summoning of Suzaku (Vol. 8) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This volume was fabulous. Four episodes included makes this a great buy. I thought the animation had improved greatly over the ealier volumes. The colors are deeper with more detail. The motions are more life like, especially with Tamahome. WOW! Tamahome is by far the GREATEST ANIMATED LOVER. ^_^ YES!!! You just cannot help falling in love with these guys. No other animation compares to Fushigi Yuugi's character lineup. The plot thickens. And, this is the *BEST* voice acting team I have ever come across in animation (Subtitled)!!! They bring the story and the characters to an new level of appretiation. I can't wait for the next volume. ^_^

Finally Miaka can summon Suzaku...oops! It didnt work! A great volume with the exception that episode 26 had the WORST ANIMATION I HAVE EVER SEEN! Nice to have a volume with 4 episodes instead of 3. We're now halfway through the series!
