Fushigi Yuugi: Eikouden (Mysterious Play: Eikoden)

After years of hardships interfered with their love, Miaka Yuuki and Taka Sukunami are finally married and expecting a baby—the pinnacle of their unbreakable bond. Unfortunately, not everyone rejoices alongside the blessed couple. Mayo Sakaki, one of Taka's students, has a crush on him and cannot bear witnessing the pair's flourishing relationship.

Upon discovering The Universe of the Four Gods, Mayo learns that the old book is where Miaka and Taka first met as the priestess of the god Suzaku and the god's Celestial Warrior Tamahome. Unscrupulous about destroying a happy family, Mayo readily ventures inside with hopes of becoming the new priestess of Suzaku and rewriting the story to her advantage.

Meanwhile, her actions do not delay to show devastating effects. Leaving an unconscious Miaka at the hospital, Taka must follow Mayo to The Universe of the Four Gods and stop her before the circumstances worsen for his wife and their unborn child.

It was a masterpiece again, as expected of Yuu Watase.

Many didn't like this OVA but for me it was great.
At first, I really didn't like it because of Mayo, and I hated her because of her attitude but I realized that in reality, there are really people who are blinded by too much love, especially unrequited ones. The problem is that Mayo over exaggerated it. She went beyond the limit, well I understand since this is fiction. But I love Miaka and Taka's strong relationship and the love they had for each other.

I also appreciate the love of Miaka and Taka for their friends in ... the other world. They never forgot all about them thought they already have their own life in the real world. Their friendship was really reliable and everyone was really trustworthy. I hope I have friends like them, but me and my friends still have a long way to go.

I also wish I have someone like Taka. And I'm proud because I can relate to Miaka, giving importance to your friends and protecting and supporting your love is what I do, just like Miaka.

I love the story since it was a happy ending, but I hope there is more to come.. I want to see Hikari (Miaka and Taka's daughter) to grow, and I hope that all the suzaku seven including Houki and Boshi will be reborn to the real world and they'll all be happy living together without any worries of danger.

I like the story because it moved me, especially with Miaka and Taka. Their love for each other is what I really liked about the story. The friendship of the suzaku seven together with the priestess was also a plus point. The bond was strong and it is, for me, the core of the story. Still, Love conquers all and nobody should and could force someone to love them. Love is not an obligation, cannot be forced, it is something that is given wholeheartedly without any negative feeling.

I sure hope that my wish can come true. I want another OVA or episode of Fushigi Yuugi. And finally, I will be satisfied.

but above everything that I've said. I love fushigi yuugi eikoden and all fushigi yuugi episodes from the very beginning. I've been watching FY since i was in nursery, so I grew up with this anime. I aged with FY and i still love it even I'm already in 3rd year high school now.

I love fushigi yuugi. I love anime since i was born, it's in my blood y'know. since my dad likes animes as well, but those that he like were old ones already hehe..

anyways.. that's all.. i guess I've said too much. I just want to express everything from my heart. The passion I have for animes is really burning inside my very own heart. ^_^

i hope many will still like this anime and all animes. they are inspiring and enjoyable. all of them ^^

GOD BLESS!

Mixed Feelings

Fushigi Yuugi is the last OVA of the Fushigi Yuugi series. It is 4 episodes long.
For the first 2 to 2 1/2 episodes, things are pretty boring, but it picks up later and you kind of want to see how it wraps up.
The main character, Myo, is not very likeable. She's a whiny, selfish girl. You could say she is the main character, but I'd also say the usuals are also focused on a lot.
As you may or my not know, Fushigi Yuugi Eikoden was two books in a fan-written light novel series. The fact that it ...

It is every fanfiction writer's dream to have his or her story made into anime. We all dream about how our stories would look on celluloid. It's normal. It's healthy. And in defense of fanfiction, I have read some stuff good enough to actually make the cut. Hell, I've read some stuff better than the original canon. It's few-and-far between, but it's still there.

This is not an example of the latter.

"Eikoden" was originally somebody's fanfiction that became an officially-published novel, and then somebody else decided that making this catasterfuck into an OVA would be a good idea. I'll openly admit that the original "Fushigi Yuugi" ...
