What is there to say about this show? Oh yeah, this show it's hard to pinpoint a favorite character and a least favorite. Most are decent. But I guess my favorite will be Nuriko, yes, gotta love the abnormally strong, beautiful cross dresser ;) second goes to Amiboshi, he seems like a nice dude. Yui did awful things to her best friends Miaka, the protagonist, but if you were in her shoes and had that brain washing influence you can't really blame her, she just seems, a bit extreme. Nakago, source of the Suzaku Seven, Miaka, and Yui's misfortune, somehow I can't hate him either. If the story was told in his view, he would be one of those misguided heroes/villains like Light or Lelouch. If I have to pick a least favorite, umm... I'd say... King of Seiyu? An insignificant character but all the main and sub-main are quite likable.
Something that annoys me is how often the Miaka falls! That girl is always tripping at crucial moments! Learn to run properly , lol! She is too much like the stereotype magical girl character, head over heels with a bishounen dude, gluttony, stupid, a crier, etc. A lot like Usagi from Sailor Moon but Miaka has more will and whines a lot less.
I would give this anime a 7/10 good, has its tear jerking moments packed with action, has its drama but it seems a bit cliche, maybe because it's old?
Its biggest flaw is that Universe of Four Gods was written in ancient Chinese and while Yui and everyone else can read it but Miaka, maybe because they are smart and Miaka is kinda stupid, but it was written in ancient Chinese so why when Miaka got transported inside, she speaks Japanese and everyone can understand her, even having Japanese names and names of the cities are more Japanese than Chinese, same with the gods. At one point, Miaka wrote something on the window in kanji but Amiboshi knew what she wrote. This other time, Tamahome wrote her a letter and she read it, she can read the letter but not the book? Besides the language flaws, there arent really many other flaws.
