I dunno why some people think that the CGI of Ryuuk was bad... I thought it was excellent - realistic but not too out of place. It doesn't have physical fights and thrill (and if you've read the manga, you would know). The actor choices were pretty good - Tatsuya Fujiwara was, and still, well-known for his on-stage productions, and Kenichi Matsuyama's (from Nana fame - he was Shinichi, the bass player of the band 'Black Stones')L / Ryuuzaki was awesome! His every 'weird and strange' movements were exactly how I imagined the actual L would be ^-^ If I have to choose one thing negative about this film, it would be the character - Shiori. I have nothing against her, but then again, she was just some additional romance line that the director thought was a good idea. So in the end... if you're a fan of the DN manga, and you don't mind the directors changing the scenes abit, you should definitely give it a try!!

Fushigi Yûgi - The Mysterious Play
(1995–2002)
Good Stuff...
29 January 2005
This anime is so...well, what can i say? GREAT! I've only watched like what...six episodes (mind, I only watched the DVD version from episode like 36 or something like that because that's what my friend lend it to me) but now, I'm so obsessed with it. Okay, so the time crossing thing was a bit from Inuyasha or something similar, but the idea itself is really good, I mean the rest of it. Also, the characters are drawn really nicely; I actually liked other male characters other than the the main man, in this case - Tamahome...for example, I like Hotohori a lot too and that is just weird of me. Let's see, what else can i say? Hmm...the songs are excellent, especially the opening theme; I was humming it during class once because I watched too much of it the other night and people were staring at me. But who cares? The point is, it's good! So..this is GOOD! Watch it people! Go go go!
