I was one of those people who loved Fushigi Yuugi in the beginning. I remember when it came on vhs back in the late 90s and I had been so into the show. I grew older and forgot my love for FY and had even became kind of hostile to it. For years I hadnt seen past episode 7 and then I saw it randomly on AZN and sat down for a quick look.

I was not impressed.

Of course this was pretty far into the story so I wasnt really caught up or anything, but it looked like more of the same.

I decided randomly one day to just buy it so I could say I had seen it.
And I couldnt put the damn thing down.
I mean sure the "Miaka!" x "Tomahome!" every couple of seconds is a tad annoying, but there's a story underneath all that fluff. Nuriko is an excellent character when his true character shines through, and Tasuki is a fun diversion from the emotional turmoil.

So I guess all that i'm saying is, dont just give it 10 episodes to see if you like it. You may be like me and need to watch a decent amount before you can get into it, but it can be a pretty awesome show if you let it.
