Content warning: Suicide, Sexual AssaultThings get intense this week in Fushigi Yuugi. But not so much in our real lives, which consists mostly of talking about movies and whatnot.In Fushigi Yuugi, Miaka takes a quick trip home before deciding to return again to the book in search of Yui…or maybe really to return to Tamahome… We learn that Tamahome is secretly just a really good all around guy, get a new member of the team, and finally we catch up with Yui and see how things have been going for her. Sure hope nothing happens that fundamentally changes the tone of the show!
Today we learn about blood transfusions. But first, Joe and Sarah catch up and learn that…neither of us can pay attention for an hour long podcast? How can this be?? What else could we get distracted by, cross stitch? A Jurassic Park video game?Then in Fushigi Yugi, we resolve the Mirror Miaka mystery using the most powerful weapon of all, stabbing yourself real good. Then we talk about the perils of mixing your blood with other people and how it’s only okay to do if you use bubble magic. Then Miaka takes a break and goes home for a little while only to discover that Yui is now missing!
Well, we did it. We made our way through the entire manga collection, including Adolescence of Utena (1999) and After the Revolution (2017). Some of us even read the side stories. Wow, pretty amazing how a story made side-by-side to the anime could turn out so different in manga format. Better? Not really. Prettier? Oh yes! We recap the changes in the manga and talk about if the ideas are really all that revolutionary. Are princes good? Do men know more about women than they do about themselves? Should Juri be gay? These questions and more are explored in this almost two hour podcast.
We return the to book this week. In our real life, Sarah is trapped house sitting while Joe is out for revenge.In Fushigi Yûgi, we get into some love triangles? Squares? Shapes? You get it. We also get our newest member Nuriko, and we definitely aren’t worried about how her stuff will go. Yui is still in that library. It’s kind of a mess this week, but we look forward to seeing how it comes together.
This week, we start our new show! In our real lives, Joe is back into playing KOTOR II and Sarah went to Love Island singles event and is playing some horse games!In Fushigi Yuugi, our hero is pagemastered into the world of ancient China. Where she can gain the powers of Suzaku and gain the power to…get into Jonan High school? That’s right! The stakes have never been higher for our girl Miaka. Will her and her strong friend Tamahome be able to collect the stars or something! Who knows??
We finally finish up our 9th show! Wow, that many already? It sure goes by faster with these 12 episode seasons. This week, Joe went to the movies to watch the Utena movie (again). Meanwhile Sarah is running out of new life material. Weekly habits don’t make for good podcast material!In Hana-Kimi, we wrap up season 1 with the shocking finale to the dorm v dorm v dorm contest, which we are all heavily invested in I’m sure. Mizuki is being targeted and gets snatched away and the only thing that can save her is Nakatsu kicking a guy. Also Izumi is there because he’s the love interest. Meanwhile, Nanba has some love problems but quickly gets over them. Then season 1 just kind of ends.Our next show is Fushigi Yugi! Next week will be watching episodes 1 and 2.
Content Warning: Discussion of Sexual AssaultThis week, Sarah and Joe did not go on trips and don’t have nearly as much to say. Joe’s but news is that he watched the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Sarah is maybe done with social events for a while. Real exciting stuff. In Hana-Kimi, we wrap up our beach arc with some not so great developments with Makita. We are not loving that. But then we jump into our final arc of the sports festival. That’s right, its dorm v dorm in an athletic/other event style team games. And we finally, finally get some time with Nanba and find out what his deal is!
We’re back from our trips! Joe recaps Boston while Sarah recaps New York! The Northeast United States. Big cities! People. Great! Then we talk about movies and tv as per usual.In HanaKimi it’s time for a summer job. Mizuki, Izumi, and Nakatsu get roped into working for Dr. Umeda’s sister. And? What’s this? A love rival appears for some reason? And he’s, a college guy, and he’s kind of irritating but also kind of normal. Weird! Sure hope this plays out in a fun way!
