The Holy Pearl

[dangermousie]

Our local Borders is one of the ones going out of business so I went there to pick over the remains. It was pretty well raided out but I did find five volumes of the Fushigi Yuugi (15-yr-old schoolgirl is transported to magic version of ancient China, must go on quest) omnibus volumes which means 15 regular volumes, at prices that were a steal

I remember loving Fushigi Yuugi when I watched it.

[dangermousie]

Yup, it brought back fond memories.

I always liked that opening, never picked up the anime though. The manga was one of the first titles published in Poland, even before I got interested in m&a. I might buy it some day, it's possible to obtain it pretty cheaply now. Would would you recommend starting with? The manga or the anime? :)

[dangermousie]

I think anime. It got rid of some of the later arcs I didn't like and I think some of the humor works better in motion.

Thanks :)

OMG, I am a stauch Fushigi Yuugi apologist! I've read the manga, but I actually prefer the anime, probably because I saw it first and the humor works better in animation.

Are you liking Holy Pearl? Because as an Inu Yasha fan I thought I'd check it out, but it looks kind of weird...

[dangermousie]

yes, I prefer the anime too.

Holy Pearl - it's cheesy as all get-out but I am finding it very entertaining.

I adored Fushigi Yuugi when it came out. I was such a Tasuki fangirl, it's not even funny.

[kuroidi]

lol me too! I especially loved him during the OVAs...he had grown mature.

[dangermousie]

I loved tasuki to bits, but I was always a Tamahome fangirl. Hotohori came second :)

I love the FY opening, still to this day. It was one of those few anime OP that I didn't mind watching repeatedly.

[dangermousie]

Yup, at one point I used to know all the words despite knowing no Japanese.
