Fushigi Yuugi

Fushigi Yuugi

Who said that    t the LOTD (Lord Of The Rings) trilogy is has the most dramatic scene when it comes to killing support characters? We I watched Lord Of The Rings last night again that is why I am using it as my springboard hahaha. Well, you kill Gandalf on the first installment of the movie while saving Frodo from the Demon, and Boromir while saving two other hobbits from the orcs. Well, that is kind’a sad ‘coz you are expecting that Power Rangers (Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Boromir, Gimli) will guide Frodo to destroy the Ring. But it all comes down to the Fantastic Four (Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli) to guide him. ANYWAY, I felt the same way when I watched this anime, Fushigi Yuugi: The Mysterious Play. Why? Because in the series, support characters and heroes/guardians were killed just to protect Miaka (protagonist) . Now that is dramatic as you watch it, and you won’t go over it that easy =’c

Let me give you an overview about the story, Miaka and Yui were Best of Friends and want to pass the entrance exam in Jonan Academy. Miaka was pressured because some people think that she would not make it, until she knew that Yui will be entering in the same Academy too. She became inspired in short. While in the library, Miaka and Yui found  a special book “The Universe of the Four Gods.” Yui was transported into the novel’s universe and met Tamahome one of the Celestial Warriors and character in the book. Yui was sent back to her world immediately. In the Novel, Miaka on the other hand, discovers that she is the Priestess of Suzaku and destined to gather all other 7 Celestial Warriors including Tamahome. (Now that’s a love triangle) If she could do  this, she will have the ability to summon Suzaku and make 3 wishes. Yui the Priestess of Seiryuu eventually wants to have her revenge. Why? Time for you to find out…

A very very good anime. Really!
