dangermousieI have finished Fushigi Yuugi. I haven't gasped and cried and giggled so much at a show in ages. So much love. Are the OVAs worth watching, btw?
Miaka's brother begs Tamahome to go back into the book. I hate this show, it keeps making me depressed. Also, I do like the parts in the medieval world a bit better, but this is still pretty cool. The gods going at it remind me of Godzilla though :P
And Miaka finds out and begs him not to go and I love how she is clinging to him and he just stands stock still and then he can't take it any more and hugs her to him. And they get married, by exchanging rings and he is about to leave forever...
And then Nakago appears and Tamahome takes him on, even though he is now a normal human with no powers and has no chance and it's basically a massacre. And Miaka is racing through the fire to get to him.
And then we get to the scene which made my eyes bug out of my head because Nakago has basically broken a number of bones in Tamahome's body and Tamahome is all covered with blood and can't move much, so Nakago asks him "What's the matter, can't stand up on your own?" and pulls him up by the hair as Tamahome is almost passing out from the pain and goes "Poor boy, you are all covered with blood, aren't you. You excite me, if not in the same way a woman does." And then he licks Tamahome's bloody cheek.
Whoa.
ETA: Eeeeeek! Tasuki and Chichiri appeared and fought and were brilliant and I love them. Miaka summoned now. And Chiriko is back! And Mitsukake! And Nuriko! And Hotohori! I feel so much better! But is it some kind of hallucination?
ETA2: Got it. They are spirits. I still feel better.
ETA3: Why does it go into that weird fantasy of Tamahome and Miaka's wedding day, with everyone who died present, even Nuriko's kid sister and Tamahome's family? Oh hell, the wedding thing is Tamahome's dying fantasy. I hate this show.
ETA4: Yay. Tamahome's come back. And whoa....he's killed Nakago?!?!!! And at last we get some Nakago back-story: his people were hated just because they were from that one tribe and his mother was raped in front of his eyes and he tried to save her but he couldn't control his powers and ended up killing her as well?! And then the Emperor of Kutou used him as a boytoy. Even though he was just a child? No wonder the guy has beyond messed-up ideas and issues. And I love that there is no triumph in the end, over defeating the Big Evil Villain, not for Tamahome. Because on his killing strike, he saw what Nakago's past has been and what had made him what he was and the sense of waste is just tremendous, and so is Nakago's bitter stoicism at the end. And Tamahome ends up weeping for him. And I love that.
ETA5: And Miaka used her last wish to restore the world to normal. So that means she can never be with Tamahome!!! Oooooooh, now they are holding each other, but how did they get naked? Seriously, I am confused. And she is holding on to him but he just fades away. Argh. Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate.
ETA6: And just like he wrote in that letter (which made me cry btw) he found her anyway (through reincarnation?????) And he holds up the hand with the wedding ring and tells her "I've found you" and her hands go to her mouth and so do mine. And I am such a freaking idiot but I am bawling. Though how does that work? Does it mean he's lived his whole life on as Tamahome and then reincarnated? Or what? Hell, I don't care. If you'll excuse me, I am off to cry in a corner. I didn't realize there was anything after the credits so for a few minutes I thought they were going to be apart forever and you have no idea about the levels of STRESS in my house.
