Synopsis

After Tamahome is reborn into the real world as Taka Sukunami, it does not take long until he meets Miaka Yuuki again, leading to their romance blooming once more. However, the appearance of Ren Shigyou—a new student at Miaka's high school—disturbs their blissful days. Resentful of the happy lovers, Shigyou uses his unusual manipulative skills to quickly become popular and rally his classmates against Miaka and Taka. As Shigyou's followers unexpectedly attack the pair, the two end up falling from the school's roof into a red light and are transported to The Universe of the Four Gods realm. Returning to the place where Taka once lived as Tamahome, the couple learns that an evil demon is behind the recent events. To make matters worse, Taka risks disappearing from existence unless he recovers his previous life's memories, which are stored in seven jewels. Joining forces with their former companions, Miaka and Taka embark on a quest against the clock to retrieve the precious stones before it is too late. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This OVA was an amazing way to end the Fushigi Yugi series. Although I liked the original TV series ending a lot, this one was just as good if not better. You kind of have to sit through the horrible first OVA to understand the background of what is going on in this second OVA, but this one makes up for the last one. Don't worry if you are completely confused while watching the first one, cause everyone is just as confused. Plus the first OVA has some nice comical shorts at the end of the whole gang going to ahot spring. The animation is just as good as the TV series, and this OVA give a lot of the background of the Suzaku 7 that isn't really shown in the TV series. You also finally get to see the white tiger Byakko (one of the 4 gods). If you enjoyed the TV series, I guarantee you will like this OVA.

Another difficult appears between this couple... Why is so difficult for them? But in another hand I really like that, because I have more episodes to watch!! And this time the art and design it's better that the previous seasons! I can get sick of saying this! Every time I watch something related to this anime, I can see the true power of love, the really love story of the main characters and we can get enough of the others characters of the anime. Of course we love Taka/Tamahome and Miaka.. But how would be story without Noriko, Hotohori, Tasuki and the others??! I think in this OVA theypay more attention to the others characters and it was a really good choice!

Compared to the 1st OVA, this OVA was better but not by that much. If it weren't for the character exploration for the supporting characters, then this would have stayed at a score of 6. It kinda continues where it left off in OVA 1. Once again, the story and everything happening was pretty rushed. It had a bit better pacing than OVA 1, but I still felt like it prolonged the emotional scenes and didn't provide enough for the actual events. The cool thing about this OVA was that we get to look in detail about some of the Suzaku Seven members' past like Chichiriand Nuriko! The thing I didn't like was that some of them were out-of-character. May be done on purpose to cover for the story, but it was strange and kinda made me start disliking the characters :/ imagine liking a character for a whole 52 episodes just to see their likable personality thrown down the drain. Even if and when they recovered from being out-of-character, they just seemed awkward for the rest of the OVA.. Overall, an 'okay' OVA.
