5.0 out of 5 stars Fushigi Yuugi The Best Anime of The 90's, March 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fushigi Yugi - The Mysterious Play - Trials of the Heart (Vol. 2) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

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:)

4.0 out of 5 stars Important events the story starts to flow., January 8, 2001

By	lizzy mcneil (USA) - See all my reviews

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!!!
