    I'm curious about how all of you first heard of or got into Fushigi Yugi.

    In my case, a friend of mine lent me this new Fushigi Yuugi manga, and I loved it! ^_^

    Actually this all started simply enough...

    Before the name fushigi Rockna was comfirmed I was Fushigi Rei. When I was saying this to my friend's older otaku brother his immediate response was 'Fushigi yuugi!'
    Me: :confused:
    Him: it's an anime stupid, a good one too.

    so anywho, I didn't think much of it till one day i was bored and did some searchinhg and the show and blah blah blah.

    Thought it was cool but still didn't think much of it.

    Then i heard about it from another girl, how it was her favorite manga/anime and i heard about it lots more and I started to really like it.

    Then i saw the first four episodes. :p

    So now, it's my favorite anime! ^^

    I got inroduce to FY a couple months ago (and I caught on quick). My brother rent the third OAV of FY and he let me watch it, since he saw how bored I was and he know I like anime. After watching that I was hooked on to it. I started buying the manga and my brother rent me the serie when he have time.

    I was on the mangatoanime chat room, when this user name Jedi came on. Well, seeing how I am a Star Wars freak; I talked to him. He started talking about this anime called Fushigi Yuugi. He told me about it, and then said it was really good. Then, when I got kazaa lite, I serched for Fusigi Yuugi. Then I saw it and............BAAM!!:eek: I LOVED IT:D

    Now a month ago, Naru started to like it a lot. When she saw more of it at her friends house. Now me and her share are anime episodes and talk about it all the time. We are obsessed :p

    I'd heard about it but had never really been convinced that it was good. Then a friend of mine let me read a copy of Vol. 1 a friend lent her (yes, what a chain -- anime and manga bring people together ^_^). I read it (alongside yet another friend ^_^) and was immediately in love with the art (and Keisuke >D). I read Vol. 2 as well, and fell even more in love.

    Haven't seen/read anything other than that (except a few FY-themed AMVs), and every time I think about it I go, "I MUST have FY!!" Clearly, I'm a shoujo fan. >D

    my story is probably the strangest. my friend, who by the way, is majorly into anime, fell outside of the school and all of her stuff fell out of her bookbag. I helped her find all of her stuff, and with it was volumes 1 and 2 of fy. i said "oh, this looks interesting", and she lent it to me. a few days later, she gave me a subbed version of all the eps. and the ovas.

    First, my cousin ToOmaA showed me a picture where they were all drunk, then, she MADE me take a look at their profiles, I was like *yawn* :p

    Then her friend, Suzu [aka. Skuld] lent her or gave her 2 mangas, I was like OMG!! I want to see it!! I was laughing so much while reading it, how about watching it??? :p

    Yet, I didn't get the chance to see it :/

    I came across the ovas on a fansub vhs order site, got me the 2 ovas and was hooked. It's a beautiful anime. I still need to see most of the actually anime though.

    Mine was a little strange. A friend had just introduced me to manga and anime and she got me started with drawing it. I was searching through the internet under anime pictures and found a ton of Fushigi Yuugi pictures. I tried to draw in that style and was instantly hooked on the whole idea of the series. But then I figured out the drawing was too advanced for me. But I still like it!
