[Review] Fushigi Yuugi

Hi guys, are you getting tired watching shoujo anime this lately? Do you think their story line is way a bit too predictation with boring concept? Today i will introduce you one of my favourite anime which is Fushigi Yuugi.

Story's plot

The series describes the various trials of Miaka Yuuki and Yui Hongo, two Middle-school students. While at the library one day, Miaka and Yui encounter a strange book known as The Universe of the Four Gods. Reading this book transports them into the novel's universe in ancient China. Yui is transported back to the real world almost immediately, but Miaka finds herself the Priestess of Suzaku. Miaka is destined to gather the seven Celestial Warriors of the god Suzaku in order to summon Suzaku and obtain three wishes. She falls in love with the Celestial Warrior Tamahome, who eventually reciprocates and Miaka's desire to use a wish to enter the high school of her choice begins to shift towards finding a way to be with Tamahome. Yui is also drawn into the book when she tries to help Miaka to come back to the real world; becoming the Priestess of Seiryuu, working against Miaka out of jealousy over Tamahome and revenge for the humiliation and pain she had suffered when she first came to into the book's world.

                                            Characters

Miaka Yuuki: the main character of Fushigi Yuugi, and the Priestess of Suzaku. Along with her friend Yui Hongo, she is one of the last priestesses to go inside the book.

Tamahome: the first Suzaku warrior Miaka meets and has the character "Ogre" on his forehead. He appears to be obsessed with money, but only wants to use it to support his family. Tamahome is a very single-minded individual for the most part. At first his drive is his family - they are all encompassing to his attitude to life and everything he does is for their benefit, even to the point of making himself appear something of a penny pincher to a confused Miaka and company to begin with. Despite his altruistic reasons for needing money, Tamahome is also very proud and he doesn't ever divulge why he needs the money or even tells Miaka and the others about his family at all.

Yui Hongo: Miaka's friend, who become the Prietess of Seryuu. Unlike Miaka, she have been suffered bad experience when she entered into the book that explain why her personality change later on

There are lots of more characters as well but there is the 3 main characters that build a triangle relationship in the story.

Have to tell when I first watched this on TV (year 2000 maybe) I really hated Yui. She tried to steal Tamakins from Miaka and she believed the lies of Nakago instead believing her best-friend's sincerity of saving her. But when I re-watched it (year 2008, anime+OVAs) I finally realized the pain she'd gone through, and I kinda understand how she felt during those times Miaka wasn't there to rescue her. And since i understand Yui-chan, i just love her so much, luckily, in the end, through all the pain and sorrow that she have been suffered, she was ended up happily as she and Miaka start their friendship once again.
