XxmagentaxX Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 but then he kinda realized that it would hurt them more if he killed himself. becasue they all loved him so much..... the Nyan Nyan is my friend.....

amiboshi Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 lol! He's always so serious....like he's got no emotions or something. At least the other characters screw up their faces regularly...:p Tasuki is just so sweet......He's my #3 favorite guy....only Becuase Ami has to be number 1...and I think Tamahome's #2...^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Mitsukake is sweet... he sacrificed himself to save others, isn't that enough? And he's had a rough history, losing the love of his life and all... I admire him for that... if it wasn't for the Suzaku shichiseishi he would have died alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def_Kun Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Watase Yu! Now I know who she is ( at last!!!! :) ). I dunno. It seemed that Mitsukake's storyline was so much independent from the whole FY plot while Chiriko... I really don't know why he's there aside from being a star warrior. They did not bonded so much with the other FY characters which, in the end, made them seem not as interesting as the others (Except during the funny filler scenes at the end of the OAVs).

Steph Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Mitsukake is the strong, silent type... that's probably why you never really relate to him as much as the other characters. As for Chiriko (I thought he was a girl at first), I still see him as a really noble character, brave and definitely wise beyond his years. Without which, the Suzaku 7 wouldn't be complete, you know? So I really appreciate those characters as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 That's a good point. When you can relate to the characters, that's when you really kinda connect with them, and they mean something to you. But Def_kun made a good point. Mitsukake's storyline was so developed already that it was like his story was almost finished by the time he met Miaka. Or perhaps it was because Mitsukake didn't love Miaka or anything, so he wasn't constantly 3 inches away from her....O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Ami.... you icon is that Rath???? from Dragon knights??? Yeah i still hate mitsukake he is a loser... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 lol. Yeah, it's Rath. I thought that was a cute pic of him. ;) There's not a whole lot to say about Mistukake, just because he seems to have a rather minor part most of the time. Okay, I have a question for everyone: Do you prefer the manga or the anime of Fushigi Yuugi? I like the manga a lot better. Yu Watase's artwork is so pretty, and the characters look a lot more mature, even Miaka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxmagentaxX Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 i love the manga.. that animation had its low points when when it was the worst thing ever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 Yeah. Especially becuase of the dubbed version.....The voices are annoying, and a lot of the jokes they make just aren't funny. O.o Yu Watase really is funny, though, and there are no voices to get in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Okay, I know I'm behind, but I believe that I must catch up since I am the one who started this freaking thread. Well for one thing, NO I did not sense any sexual tension between Soi and Tomo even though they both loved Nakago because Tomo was a freaking [i]HOMOSEXUAL!![/i] NO, him and Soi did not have any sort of SEXUAL tension between them whatsoever, okay? Maybe AGGRESSIONAL tension...but definately not SEXUAL...alright, just had to get that off my chest. NEXT, Hotohori did NOT cheat on Houki just because he was in love with Miaka and he was NOT a bad father. He died trying to protect his country so his son could have a future. Man, some of you are IDIOTS. I mean, I HATED Hotohori, but at least I give him the credit for being a VERY loving FATHER...and HUSBAND...Hmmkay...next point... Yu Watase did not MAKE pointless characters, just because Mitsukake and Chiriko didn't get very much airtime. They served their purposes, they didn't need to be in the story as much as the others because quite frankly, they weren't involved in ANY LOVE triangles! OKAY??? So that is why they don't play big parts, because Fushigi Yugi is a LOVE STORY! AAAAAAAAAARGGH... And stop dogging Mitsukake. He was a cutie. And even though he didn't really do much and he sacrificed himself to save a child, he was still important. And YES, the bus ride was funny, but then the other stuff was crap. Okay, I think I've finished making my points. You can all applaud now. No, no, I'm just joking of course. And Forest_Pixie, I don't think "God damn" is appropriate language to put in a post, and I can't believe Rick Hunter hasn't done anything about it. He's definately not doing his job as a mod, and that REALLY pissed me off with that kind of language being there.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Whoa...do you feel better now, QA? Okay, I have a hard time replying when we're being so negative about one of the greates love stories ever created (at least, I think it is). While all the anime and movies that have tons and tons of fighting are becoming so popular, Fushigi Yuugi is always there with it's beautiful characters, brilliant plot, in-depth characters, and, of course, a very sweet love story. THAT is why I love Fushigi Yuugi! Okay, I sound like I just wrote an essay on my favorite show....-.-;;; But all of those things are true! And can't believe that not more people like Fushigi Yuugi....at least not more people on this board. It's kind of sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]YES, I feel so much better...some people just really tick me off...and NO, it is not PMS, although I am depressed and I have to talk about a love story when the love of my life just left to go on a two week vacation a few states away and I wont talk to him at ALL...Okay, but forget about my personal problems.... :toothy: Yes, it is one of the greatest love stories in an anime series that I've ever seen, and there SHOULD be more fans! I can't believe that there are only like 4 of us even posting in here. It just goes to show how close minded people in America are....America, all they care about is stupid DBZ.... And don't be dogging any of the good characters people...I mean, yeah, state your opinions but GEEZ, don't put stupid posts like "Oh my gosh, I hate ____, they are so lame." Ah, now for something to discuss...do you like the name Taka for Tamahome? Why couldn't they just call him Tamahome still? Or Tama...I mean, I just can't get myself to call him Taka. I mean, I know he's the same person yet a different person at the same time, but yeah...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Yeah, I don't know why "Tamahome" wouldn't have done. I guess they didn't wanna call him "Tama" because then you might be confused whether it was Tamahome or Mitsukake's cat.:p That's the only reason that I can think of, but, heck, even I call him Tama. Taka's just a weird name. I don't know how Miaka could stand calling the love of her life "Taka" instead of Tamahome. The Ova was kind of strange. I couldn't figure it out, I mean, on the first tape, it ended with Yui and Miaka going out to lunch, and Tamahome had been transported to their world. The nice narrator-lady tells us that Tamahome is now wiped clean of Tama's memories. Ok, I follow. But in the second tape, suddenly Miaka is dating Taka, and I felt like I totally missed a few episodes. Am I the only one who feels this way? It just made me feel like I had come in 5 episodes late. But after that glitch, the Ova was kinda nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Yeah, I was really confused, too, but I mean, she did meet Taka and I'm pretty sure that somewhere in there things were made clear of who they really were and he probably knew it deep down in that heart of his. They probably didn't want to make all that into episodes and so forth because there probably wasn't any action! If you know what I mean. And I haven't seen past the second OVA, so don't give it away! :P I liked the way the second OVA was, the first one was just setting everything up. How many OVA's are there anyway?[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I think there are only 2 in the US now, but Forest Pixie was telling me they were making another one in japan now. I still wish they had conveyed that little in-between the 1st and 2nd OVA. I mean, that's the best part of FY.....I can just imagine how it would have been. There would have been emotion and I want to know how Miaka adjusted to just Taka, not Tamahome! I want to see all of that! Oh well. But the manga that the OVA was based on, I hope they release them in the US, although they're only on book 6 now, so it sure will take a while. But I wonder if they manga in more in-depth in that area. I'd like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Speaking of the manga, I wonder why it's taking them so long to release them all. Are they trying to follow where they are in Animerica, because I thought they were pretty far in there. I dunno, I haven't really compared, but I should have so I'd know... I wonder what Taka thought when Miaka told him everything (if that's how she went about it...) I wonder if he saw her and thought she was cute or what. Maybe he saw her and had a pang in his heart and knew she was someone that was very dear to him because they DID love each other a whole lot... *starts sobbing in real life thinking about her Ryan...* [/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 lol. I don't know how he would have felt, that's why I want to see it! Oh well. It's kinda fun to think about it, instead. ;) I wonder of Taka fell for any other girls before he found Miaka again....j/k Tamahome's heart belongs only to Miaka. He could never fall for another girl! Taka certainly was interesting, though. I mean, it was like Tamahome, his heart and his spirit, but completely real-world. They could actually have a normal relationship at last..... I don't know why it's taking them so long to release the manga. I like buying them all in those nice graphic novels, so I can have my little collection to read repeatedly, but lately I got sick of waiting and just read the monthly installments in Animerica Extra. They're way past vol. 6, and I can't even find the release date for vol. 7. It's really making me mad. That's the downside to collecting something when the whole thing's not released.... Even though it's fairly old in Japan, we're not even done with all the manga here! How IRRITATING.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Well, I just don't understand why it's taking them so long to release the entire series. I mean, Fushigi Yugi's TV series has been out completely for well over a year at LEAST. I figure the manga should have been released right along beside it so that fans interested in both could have either/or or both, ya know? Maybe they are just taking their sweet precious time translating it just right. And I don't read Animerica Extra if I don't see copies at the bookstore. I mean, they don't put enough of the storyline in there...even though the finished the entire series of X, which is like over 10 graphic novels long, in such a short time. They are intentionally dragging FY out so people will continue to still buy the magazine. All everyone cares about in this world is making a PROFIT...GGRRRRRR I swear...does money really make the world go around? "What I happen to love most of all is: Cold...Hard...Cash *cha-ching*" ~Tamahome... "Money, money, money, is that all you care about?" "Yep, sure is!" ~Miaka & Tamahome LOL, I just had to put that...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Yeah, I don't bother buying the magazine, I jut pick it up every month and read the few pages they have of FY. I wish I didn't have to, though. I really would just rather but it in graphic novel format. But I just can't wait for them! Their translations really are good, but at the cost of so much time, I don't know if it balances out....I guess it does. Money is so important today that everything is over-priced....I mean....17 dollars for 1 little manga....it just kills me...... I love those quotes. "I'm sorry, but I'm looking for money, not love." *evil laughter and giant cat-face* ~Tamahome <--that was one of my favorites ^^ Tamahome's voice was the only one I actually kinda liked in the dubbed version, oh, and Nuriko's, too. I loved those two! And the voice actors actually made those cheesy jokes funny! I love the FY cheesy jokes.....they never get old.....^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]The dubbing didn't bother me all that bad for Fushigi Yugi. There weren't really any stupid voices that you could tell were totally fake. The only voice that remotely bothered me was Miaka's. Tamahome and Nuriko and Tasuki had the most perfect voices for their characters. So did Nakago and Chichiri. I mean, their voices matched them perfect. Of course, then I saw it subbed and Chichiri had a deep voice and I was like "Whoa..." but yeah, I like both versions, even though I wish I had it all on DVD so I could have it both ways, which ever one I was prefering at any time of day... The jokes were good and they were funny. Nuriko has my favorite quote from the show: "Well, it's about time I'm exposed; yes, I'm a man, I only dress up like a woman!" And I could go on and on with that part, but I don't feel like typing out all the punctuation marks! :D[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def_Kun Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Ummm... I don't know how to react to your post Asuka. I started the Mitsukake and Chiriko part. I just wanted to say my opinion about their characters. That's all. I still did like the series. I thought it was quite good. I just didn't feel that much for the other two and that's my own preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the best part! Especially Nuriko, like you said. *gaint flaming head* "MIAKA!!! You're only Hotohori's firend, RIGHT?!? How dare you sleep in the emperor's chamber! I'll never forgive you for that! *cute voice* Oh, tamakins! Wait for me!!"

Deedlit Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I love Fushigi Yugi, and I have one person to thank for introducing it to me: *runs up and hugs Queen Asuka* Thank you for letting us borrow your FY videos!! :D I've heard just the dubbed version, so I can't really say that I like or don't like the subbed or dubbed series. All I have is QA's word that Miaka's subbed voice is way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 [color=crimson][size=1]Def_kun, don't react to my post at all. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I just stated mine because I really didn't like others. I know it's pointless to argue because everyone always thinks themself is right, but yeah. And I wouldn't mind paying that much for the entire DVD boxed sets. It'd be worth it because they watch over and over and they last forever practically. And you get subbed and dubbed on one DVD which is the equivalent of like $55 dollars. So yeah, you ARE saving ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of money and it's totally worth it.
