Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play - Recommendations

Erliane says...

Fushigi Yuugi and Princess Tutu may not be very very much alike, but they have their similarities.

Both animes are fantasy animes with a bit of (well, for Fushigi Yuugi it's a LOT) romance. Princess Tutu is about a girl who's trying to get the princes' heart back, and Fushigi Yuugi is about a girl trying to save the world. Like I said, they have not very much in common, but I'm sure that, if you liked Fushigi Yuugi, you'll like Princess Tutu. Especially if you like ballet.

Reverse harem. Bishounen. Regular high school girl. New place, new experiences, romance. Both are different takes on the same concept, and if you like one, the other is sure to be a treat.

Both series were not only created by the same person, but they both feature main charcters who get transported into a strange fantasy world, and are subsequently said to be destined to save that world.

If you enjoyed Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, you may enjoy 3 x 3 Eyes

Both of these anime feature a young, female person in a strange world as the centrepiece of the story, who finds allies in those she meets along the way, who are integral to her survival. These strong allies are also vital, noble friends even in the face of pain, grave danger - and even if facing their own mortality.

Both central female characters are 'alien' to the land on which the story is largely based, and both of them possess unique 'special abilities', which are valuable aspects of their characters, and prevents them from becoming mere damsels. These females show courage, even when facing the ultimate consequences, but they also both possess an inner wellspring of peace, and are able to calm even the most dire situation with their nobility, love and heartfelt gratitude.

Both central characters would prefer to sacrifice themselves than see anybody they love suffer on her account, and this is a classic component of the female heroine when displaying too much inner strength for the enemy to manipulate. These female protagonists are both exceptional characters who carry the world on their shoulders, and the lives of the populace and everyone they love, so that those who may not even know them may live on in relative peace, without needing gratitude or praise.

Similarly to the previous title, 3 x 3 Eyes, the next installment carries much the same backbone.

Fushigi Yugi is longer, and thus has more space to really develop romance. Plus it's all about the love between Miaka and Tamahome; even though everybody else seems to be in love with her, she has this eternal unconditional love for Tamahome that is unshakable. La Corda d'Oro, on the other hand, doesn't really have romance per se; all the guys are in love with the protagonist, but she doesn't really fall in love with anyone (what the series does is provide different interactions so that we can chosse our favorite "guy" and cheer for him). Fushigi Yugi is a billion times better, but if you're bored and want something more, you'll like Corda. If tou liked Corda, don't miss on Fy, you'll love it!

These anime have key elements in common:

1. Both based upon a central female character who is thrust into a bizarre and unfamiliar position due to supernatual forces. Both must shoulder the burden of a serious supernatural threat and attempt to solve a vast issue

2. Both are surrounded by combat-focused characters (mainly men) who strive to protect her - even if they pretend not to get along with her

3. Both females possess a gentle nature which faces hardships and tests beyond any normal person

4. Both end up cultivating romantic feelings in those around them least likely to have them
