Fushigi Yuugi Options

[Shiidou Hikaru]

So far I've seen the first nine episodes of Fushigi Yuugi. It starts out kind of corny I thought, with two friends Miaka and Yui going to the library to read books. They find an ancient Chinese book of sorcery (I think) that sends them back in time to ancient China. Not unlike Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu going to Cephiro. There's a lot of fun and sillyness at first, but also a few creeps and some fights. However later on they start to slowly develop some interesting ^_^;; romantic relationships between the characters, and the show starts to become much better I think. It's very hard to classify - there is magic/sorcery, action, comedy, and romance all mixed together. It reminds me of Tenchi Muyo in this regard.

Even though most dubs aren't well done, I'll watch them anyways out of curiosity. One reason is the voices, like you say Yuzuki-chan, I like to hear what the different voice actors sound like too. The translation is another thing I'm always curious about, seeing how close they got it to the original. Other times I might be to too tired or just too lazy to read the subtitles, so I'll watch the english version .. and fall asleep maybe ... :P



Now I'm up to episode 21 of Fushigi Yuugi, after a few plot twists and turns, a showdown is set up for episode 22. But I won't say between which characters though. :P
