hi does anybody know anything about a Fushigi Yuugi Series? I heard there is a new series currently in Japan but can't find anything on the internet about it, if you know anything please let me know!
The last paragraph of the following post does contain information that assumes you've seen all of the Fushigi Yuugi TV series + first two OAVs. It also contains a brief summary of the premise of the new OAV series. Don't read if you don't wanna know.
The third OAV series is called Fushigi Yuugi Eikouden, and is based on part of the Fushigi Yuugi Gaiden novels.
The last volume (4 of 4) was released today in Japan. Pioneer has already announced that they hold the rights to the US release of the OAV, and the Pioneer dub is present on all of the Japanese DVDs.
(Spoilers below)
The general premise is that, three years post-OAV2, Miaka and Taka finally get married, and Miaka's pregnant. Unfortunately, another girl thinks she should be the one with Taka, and when she ends up with the Universe of the Four Gods, she opens the book to attempt to change the story. Unfortunate side effect--Miaka is knocked unconcious, and all traces of the baby just disappear. Taka travels back to Konan, and tries to fix everything.

Butt cracks were removed in a bath scene, too.”] This wouldn't be an Answerman column if we d...
It may be early days for Pretty Cure, but the bones of what has made it such an enduring franchise are there.― It feels obvious to say this, but Pretty Cure Max Heart, the second series in the franchise and a direct sequel to the first, is still finding its way in the greater scheme of things.
