Exploring new DVD boxset... Nuriko, you are still in my top 5 anime boyfriend list.

((funny how so long after watching it I can still sing along with the theme songs..))

::watching Fushigi Yuugi opening credits for first time in 4ish years::

::remembers why self was so madly addicted to this show 4 years ago despite its flaws::

::TASUKI!::

::reflects that was right--Hakkai of Saiyuki is really just Chichiri -2.5 and more slashy.::

::loves season 2::

::happily sits down to watch episode 27, where, if remember correctly, lots of innocents die and Tamahome goes SuperSayan apeshit::


Edit #1: SUBOSHI! You poor misguided lovesick amoral murderer, I've missed you.

Edit #2: Some background on FY/Mysterious Play for anyone who's never seen it... This show is kinda what you would have if you mixed InuYasha with The Neverending Story and all the politics of LOTR, cranked the body count up past that of FMA, had villains so evil that you hate most of them even the ones with angsty backstories because no angsty backstory is a good enough excuse for the absolutely evil things they do, throw in a heavy dash of sexual themes and undertones, make liberal use of angst, make Shaka cry once, base the whole thing around how much two friends will use their power in an imaginary world to manipulate each other, have way too much romance, have one of the most fascinating subplots in any anime ever, and populate the cast with excessive amounts of bishounen.


Edit #3: And here we are back to the never-ending question... do I loathe Miaka's character, or do I like her? I can never decide.

Edit #4: I still have a crush on Keisuke.

Edit #5: ::visits www.imdb.com :: No way! Miaka is Rem's voice from Trigun? That's just weird that I never noticed that. And... NO WAY! Tasuki / Nakago's voice actor was Vincent in the CB movie? *and* Cowboy Andy? Now I'm really feeling inattentive.

Edit #6: You know, I always thought it would be cool to read a fic that has Tasuki learning more sorcery from Chichiri. Given that we know Tasuki can do simple spells (he did in the beginning, and his fan is operated by a spell unrelated to his seishi power), and that Chichiri of course is apprenticed to the goddess-supreme/creator of the universe of the 4 gods, and the fact that they are the only two left travelling together after the series ends. It would make a lot of sense, especially considering how much more mature Tasuki is by the time the series ends, and when the OAV picks up 2 years later. And it would be cool.

He did, in one of the last few episodes I remember Kyo sounded just like Chichiri.

also http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=529 is where I found the full list for his seiyuu.

oh!

I thought you meant the english actor. Okay, yeah, I could believe that the Japanese VA was the same.
