If you're looking for a person or persons going off into an alternative world and having incredible powers, then you'll like this. This may be more for the female audience, it has a lot of bishounen, a reverse harem situation, lots of romantic angst (think Itazura na Kiss), spiritual/religious themes, magic, heroism, drama, focuses strongly on friendship and the bonds between a group of comrades. The main character is often an annoying girl and can be quite useless but on the plus side, she is kind and funny.
Fushigi Yuugi has not only the 50 plus episodes but also later installments and OVAs so look out for them if you like this anime. The animation is quite old so expect an older type of drawing, especially of the people. Oh, the action and adventure is good! The fight sequences can be rewarding and even epic at times. (show less)
