Media Blasters has released cover art for the upcoming re:release of Fushigi Yugi starting with season one, a.k.a. "Suzaku Box." The weird thing is nobody happen to mention this re:release of a former Pioneer (Geneon) anime. Release date is slated for April of 2012.
I previously watched the entire series though fansubs back in the late 1990's and rewatched again (dub version) with the family in 2011. The series came during a time when anime was starting to become more popular in America, but before the "Let's license everything!" scare of the early 2000s. Anime lasted two seasons reaching the main story to mirror the manga release by Yuu Watase. It also spawned three separate OAVs, a manga spinoff, character song CDs, and tons of other stuff. This series is great for getting young women into anime as well as a little bit of action to keep most guys watching. It is one of the few "Shojo" series I still own to this day. I recommend it to anyone, but be willing to watch a few episodes in before things get really good.
