Ok, so I watched Fushigi Yuugi the first time more than 15 years ago, it's one of the first Anime's I watched all the way from begining to end and as suchs it's very special to me. I must have spent something close to $500, back when I was in middle school, to buy the entire Series on VHS(#showing my age). Look, what I'm saying is I feel very strongly about the series.
So you know, I saw a couple of episodes, bought the whole series, went on like to get more information. The first Fanfics I ever read were in Fushigi Yuugi Fandom. I found dozens's of fan sites, Hell I even started one of my own. It's got a massive art gallery and short (tongue in cheek?) character bio's for all the Suzaku and Seiryu Seishi, I even started to do Episode summaries but I don't think I ever did more than on.
Anyway, the post of this is I watched the series a long time ago now and almost from my very first watch through I've known about the extra series episodes. And I Wanted Them.
My husband, though he was my boyfriend at the time, bought me the entire series of Fushigi Yuugi on DVD like four years go. That was after I had made him sit through a few of the VHS tapes. I got cold feet with the tapes because his old VHS player has a habit of eatting tapes. He took pity on me and bought the entire series, Yay. The Entire series plus the OVAs.
You know I never watched them?
It's actually not remarkable. I mean I haven't spent more than $50 on DVDs in the last two years because I realized I buy them but then don't ever watch them, I'm way more likely to just wait till it comes on cable. But obviously the after series episodes of Fushigi Yuugi are never going to be airing on Cartoon Network.
So here it is 4 years later. When my husband first bought them we were both still living with our parents so they stayed at his place. There years ago we moved in together, so they have totally been with me. In fact, there are three steps between where I always sit on the couch and the TV/DVD player, and for the last year the FY DVDs have literally been right in the middle.
So at the end of this week My Husband, New Baby, and I will be moving in to a new apartment and I vowed before I packed those DVDs up I would finally FINALLY watch them.
So I watched them last night...
My Reaction?
No spoilers though...
WTF!?
To be continued...
