Has anyone seen this anime? I havne't, but i've seen the opening, and I think it looks super cool. The themesong is great too ^.^
Enter Fushigi Yuugi, the Mysterious Play - one of the most dramatic and emotional epics ever to hit manga and anime world. Comprised chronologically of 52 TV episodes, 2 OVA movies and 8 novels, the scenario begins with two best friends, Miaka and Yui, being pulled into an ancient Chinese novel called the 'Universe of the Four Gods'. The two girls become the main characters of the legend, and from then on, their adventures through its pages begin; and their dreams and priorities change drastically...
Strongly tied to ancient Chinese mythology, this gripping saga is a wonderful blend of ambition and passion; mystery and romance; revenge and sacrifice. With well-developed characters and remarkable insight, this anime reaches the height and intensity of every single human emotion and instinct, so anyone can easily familiarize themselves with it. A must never miss. It will make you laugh; it will make you cry. It will make you believe; it will make you love.

Well, I haven't seen it. But I've heard of it. It's supposed to have sorta the same theme of Inuyasha...like a girl going into the past. But it seems really good

Every single video store or music store I go to, they don't have any Fushugi Yugi videos or dvds! And, when I go to Waldenbooks, or Barnes & Nobles, they don't even have the manga...so, I really have no idea what the whole series is about...but anyways...it does seem great.

Yeah, ur definately right! I wanna see it! It's just so amazing...where did u find the pics? I just took some time and browsed the net to find new stuff to share with you guys ^.^~ And! I found some more stuff on the characters: MiakaMIAKA Age: 15 Date of Birth: May 12 Zodiac Sign: Taurus Place of Birth: Tokyo Miaka Yuki is a Grade 9 exam-candidate for one of the best high schools in Japan. She really wants to pass it and make the most of herself. Most of all, she wants to be with her best friend Yui, who would be going to that school. Problem is, Yui has always been a straight-A's genius. And well, Miaka could do that too… if she tried. Her mother doesn't believe in her though, and keeps discouraging her from taking the exam. But Miaka is determined to do whatever it takes. Another problem would be that Miaka thought more about food than books. Miaka is your typical food-a-holic - hunger is her most experienced feeling, at any time of the day. Besides food, she loves guys, and hasn't been asked out on a date for the fifteen years of her life. One day, she gets sucked into an ancient Chinese novel and her life changes forever. In Ancient China, she learns how to take charge of herself and becomes the Priestess of Suzaku, with seven senshi to protect her. Her responsibility becomes to gather all seven senshi and summon the beast god Suzaku. In the process, she is always faced with numerous obstacles -even her best friend becomes her enemy. But Miaka learns how to believe in herself and her friends; and make all her dreams come true… no matter what the odds. = = = Yui Age: 15 Date of Birth: October 26 Zodiac Sign: Scorpio Place of Birth: Tokyo Miaka's best friend ever since kindergarten, Yui Hongo values friendship over anything else. She is the smartest kid in school, and looks forward to her best friend being in her class in high school. Even though Miaka might not be scoring as high as her, she believes in her. However, getting sucked into the ancient novel re-directed her path, and changed her values. She gets sucked into the book with Miaka, but gets sucked back out again almost five minutes later, leaving Miaka to go through the pages without her. Miaka becomes the Priestess of Suzaku, while her best friend watches over her by reading the book. Helping the homesick Miaka get back into the real world, Yui gets sucked into the book a second time, and is bombarded with a dreadful experience. Broken and shattered… she finds out that trusting someone can prove to be excruciatingly painful. Thus manipulated into thinking that Miaka betrayed her, a heart-broken Yui wants revenge. She goes against all odds to tear Miaka's conscience and life apart. She chooses to become the priestess of the enemy god, Seiryuu. Always with her senshi Nakago by her side, she proceeds to summon Seiryuu, and destroy all of Miaka's dreams… = = = TamahomePosition of Symbol: middle of forehead Age: 17 Date of Birth: June 28 Zodiac Sign: Cancer Place of Birth: Hakko Village, Konan Growing up in the slums of Ancient China, Tamahome learns that his only goal to survival is money. Ever since a tender age, he has been trained in extreme martial arts. This young man goes into the city daily to find some sort of luck using his money sense and his fighting skills. Even though he shows himself to be a miserly money-grubber on the streets, he is really quite the family guy. All his hard-earned money goes to his old, sick father and his four little siblings - Chuei, Gyroukken, Byoukken and Yuiren. He has a very strong emotional attachment with his family - especially his youngest sister Yuiren, who he had practically raised herself since his mother had died giving birth to her. He ends up saving a strange foreign girl named Miaka from a street gang, and ventures to help her out, thinking of her as a little sister. Eventually, his feelings for her grow and grow into a deep, honest and passionate love. And she becomes someone he cares a lot more about than money. He never forgets his duty as the Suzaku senshi Tamahome - to be the protector of the Priestess; a task clearly evident in the symbol of the ogre that appears on his forehead. And he resolves to let no one, not even her best friend or even the Emperor of Konan, stand in his way of loving her.

Yeah, she does...but she turns evil or something...I've never seen the manga...still waiting for it at the library...and it's totally true. A lot of animes sorta have the same plot. Inuyasha and Fushigi Yugi--they both travel back to the past, like Kagome and Miaka. lolz
