To start off the Fushigi Yuugi series is the best anime i have seen in a while. The story is captivating and the plot pulls you right in. After watching just the first 3 volumes of the American version i am already addicted to the story. In this Volume. Miaka travels to Kuto to try to find her friend Yui. There are many funny schenes in the volume if you have the right sence of humor. BEWARE THIS SHOW IS HIGHLY ADDICTING:)

The three episodes on this tape were important to understanding the story but were not very exiting. Let me explain what I mean. The first episode had Miaka sick from too much stress. Hotohori decides the only thing to do is send her home to recover. So they need to travel to Taitskun's home on mount Taikyoku. On the journey there we find out that Nuriko is a man. Tamahome apologizes to Miaka for being so unfeeling before she collapsed. Then later Tamahome and Miaka have an arguement,and she runs off. She runs into a mirror world where a girl that looks exactly like her is smiling wickedly. The next has Miaka trapped in the mirror watching the other Miaka get really friendly with Hotohori, and tell tamahome and hotohori that nuriko is a man. Then she finds out that the other Miaka is a part of herself. So Miaka stabs herself to get rid of her. It works but now she is badly injured. They continue on once Miaka is revived and reach Taitskun's home. Lastly they are greeted by Taitskun(she is an old hag) who commends Miaka for going that far to save her warriors. Then the Nyan Nyan( which ar cute little green haired girls) tend to their wounds. Miaka has lost a lot of blood and will need more, for in order to return home she must be at full strength. Tamahome and Hotohori offer theirs and Taitskun oversee's the transfusion with her magic. Then Miaka returns home helped along by Yui. Once home Miaka tries to find Yui but has no sucess. The tape ends with Miaka calling Yui's house. Overall the episodes are important, but you don't want to watch them over and over.Some parts are fun, but are basically not very exciting. That is why I gave it a four instead of five.

I watched all of the tapes of this series. It's my #1 Anime of all time! If you like Sailor Moon, then you'll love this. Fushigi Yugi tops Sailor Moon on my list! This series makes you feel all of the emotions within you. One minute you'll be laughing so hard that your stomach gonna ache and the next minute your eyes will be all puffy from crying. A MUST SEE!!!

WHAT! I am offended and shocked that anything FY related does not have 5 stars! Anything that has the words Fushigi Yuugi on it shoul be at the top. It is the best anime ever! Of course, I am a little biased, b/c it is my fave series, but still! I have seen a ton of anime, and it is still my favorite one.

The second FU video is well done (even though some of the voice acting is weak at parts) and a great mix of comedy and drama. So far I have only seen the first two movies and I absolutly love this video. I am a huge anime fan so you can take my word for it. This anime is one of the tops and should be just as famous as Ranma 1/2.

This is a pretty good volume, but not the best one in the series. I did like it, but i found the one part, where Miaka is practically dead, and Hotohori and Tamahome are like, "hey, if she needs blood, i think i'll cut myself up and bleed all over her to see if it will help" ..that part really bugged me. (there's a thing called "blood type", and bleeding on someone and staining their blouse isnt going to help them any)
But other than that, and the ugly-mutant-miaka part, its all good! arigato 4 reading!
p.s.
we also learn Nuriko-chan's deep dark little secret! (as if we didn't know already!)

This is the first Amine I have ever seen, so I was skeptical at first. After watching the first boxed set series I couldn't wait to find the second. What I really love so far (I have not seen it all yet) is the portrayal of emotions. I highly recommend this for all!

Fushigi Yugi is the best anime I have ever watched! That's really saying something about it, considering that I'm a huge fan of many other animes too. It has everything you could ever want, action, adventure, humor, romance, GREAT characters and character development. I'm not kidding, you are cheating yourself out of a great time if you miss out on ANY Fushigi Yugi vidoes OR manga! It's wonderfully entertaining, go watch it! Now I say! (just kiddin', I can't force you to do anything, I just hope you WILL watch it!) ^_^.

One of the most wonderful aniem series I've ever picked off the shelf. The storyline is so original, nothing is copied. When people Say "El Hazard-meets The Never-Ending Story" nuh-uh. It's it's own thing. Kinda like Eva ain't no X-files! ^-* Keep in mind this isn't for kids. It deals with rape and sex, nudity and violence, it isn't an innocent kids cartoon. I'd recomend about 13-15 being the yongest age to watch it. To watch this, clear your mind, and you'll like it. Close your mind, and you'll hate it. If you try to put it on a level with Drago nBall Z, and you're a boy, Fushigi Yuugi might be overlooked. Don't overlook the best anime to hit american stores shelves. Watch this, and be hooked for an eternity. Grow to love Miaka and Tamahome, and their love, and how some nice people don't break them up no matter how much it's killing them *Nuriko-chan!* and how some try to for their own selfish reasons. *Yui, Nakago, Hotahori* BUY THIS <Fushigi Yuugi> NOW!
