I liked this first episode. I'm definitely interested in why he has that on his forehead, and I want to know what will happen while she's inside of this book. I like Yui a lot, already.

The main character is quite interesting, but currently am more interested in the guy (partly cos he's hot!). I've heard many saying this series is really good, but the average score is not that high (like around 7 something). Still, am gonna continue watching series.

Lol.. I've rewatched this so many times when I didn't have that much anime to get on my hands on back then..

And here I am again, 2014, watching it again.
Gonna go for the sub though. I just noticed how awkward the english dub was on a random youtube clip.

Really strange first episode, very disjointed. Can't quite work out what's going on - is the bookworld as real as the schoolworld? Why does Yui look like Princess Diana? Is it typical for central female characters to be as obsessed with food as Goku is?

Ah, it's on Crunnchyroll too in both dub and sub. They removed it from Viewster before I could finish it.

Big-eater-doesn't-know-her-own-strength-Miaka is adorable.

I know this was a high trend in the 80/90. Weak (headstrong) girl either gets sent to a world or gets powers, gets saved by handsome guy, and needs to fill out here destiny. But this is really the dullest one of them all. It doesn't help that the same woman who plays Usagi in Sailor Moon who Miaka acts almost identical to Usagi as a starting point.

Also I know it shouldn't be a huge deal but why they speaking Japanese in this feudal Chinese land. It takes you out of the story and I know the story is just here for a pretty backdrop and nothing else, lets be real.

I liked the first episode although it had a lot of disagreeable things. I typically don't like girls like Miaka but for some reason, I think she will grow on me. I am also very interested in the guy and the light that emits from his forehead when he begins to fight.
A lot of posts have commented on the Japanese in this feudal world so I won't go into it. However, Miaka hinted that she cannot read Chinese; so, how is it that she can read the character on the guy's forehead?

Honestly, I think this is kind of a rough start, but it's the sort of rough start that leaves you with hope, if that makes any sense. Some shows you just know are going to be bad, but this one feels like a show that just needs to gather the elements before it starts flowing. It's totally just my intuition, but I feel like it's going to get better starting with the 3rd or 4th episode.

The start of this series is mildly interesting. We have Miaka and Yui, junior high school friends who have gone to study at a library. Miaka witnesses a red bird go to a section of the library in which people are not allowed. She and Yui open the book and thus begins our tale.

If I remember correctly, this series starts the whole reverse harem genre.

This episode is all over the place. I recommend watching with an open mind and low expectations.

just realized watching this that fushigi yuugi was probably the first isekai of my life.
