Story 1/10
Terrible. The emphasis of the whole "return" is focused on a new character, Mayo, who is pretty much the summation of every entitled, sob story, hateful, whiny, clingy, vengeful and annoying fangirl who has ever watched the series and lusted after Taka/Tamahome while wishing they could push Miaka out and place themselves into the book. That pretty much sums up the whole plot of this OVA, I kid you not. Mayo - the embodiment of this - goes into the book as the new miko and even becomes the pregnant container of Tamahome and Miaka's love child. Evil is present, some non-canon plotlines are introduced and completed and Suzaku is summoned for like the fourth time. The end.
Art 4/10
The animation itself is pretty good. The CGI is TERRIBLE and takes away from the good that was the animation.
Sound 10/10
Fushigi Yuugi always has had good music.
Character 1/10
Mayo is a prick. All the Suzaku Seishi lose their coolness (by a lot) when they forgive Mayo for being a prick.
Enjoyment 10/10
Because we laughed AT the OVA, the enjoyment is rated very highly. I mean, come on. How can you not laugh at the CORNINESS that is Chibi!Mitsukake speaking with a man's deep voice, Baby!Chiriko talking as if he was a child (it is frightening to behold) and the inconsistencies like Hotohori's spirit arising from a sword during a fight despite the fact that he had already been reincarnated. Horohori's man pose, and the "fight" scene with his "brother" were also legen, wait for it, dary.
Seriously, take this thing with the mentality of making fun of it and OMG, will you have a field day.
