Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ewww . . . hard one!!! *rushes off to pull an all nighter of Fushigi Yugi on DVD* Gotta research!!!

For me it was Chiriko's death. When I first watched it, I was still upset about Nuriko, and then to watch this poor innocent boy act so bravely in taking his own life really upset me. I cried more for him than any other scene in all of anime (except for Houshin Engi, but about 3 times as many people die in that series than in FY, and I'm talking main characters).

Of course, that's just the saddest scene. I think the most emotional thing in all of FY from me was Eikoden. And this was due entirely to the fact that I was incredibly upset at how lousy a job they did in the anime of it. Talk about a let down. xp

Chiriko's was shocking.... I hadn't expected it.. I'd, unfortunately, found a spoiler for Nuriko and Hotohoris' deaths, so they didn't affect me as much as CHirikos did the first time.... they all made me very very sad... I just cried a lot more for Chiriko, cuz I was like "WHAT!? No! How in heck could that happen!?" But as for most emotional scene.. there are too I really think affected me... the one when Hotohori is dying... and the one when Hotohori was speaking to Miaka towards the end, when he was all "Just allow this pathetic man to love you" or whatever... the single most emotional scene, though, was the end, when they all came back.. I smiled so much, and I began to cry with joy, even if it was just for a moment.. it made me so happy to see Hotohori-sama and Nuriko once more...

Hmmm...*takes out checklist* I don't usually cry for anything...but FY is my exception...by A LOT! Here's the sad parts where I cried/got teary...

All of the spoilers (which is everything) are written in white, so highlight at your own risk! Break out the tissues! crying

1. When Nuriko died
2. When Tamahome's siblings were murdered
3. When Shoka died for the second time
4. When Mitsukake died
5. When Chiriko died
6. When Hotohori died
7. When Chichiri was talking to Hikou, who then died...again
8. When Amiboshi (Technically, as he gave his body to Suboshi) died
9. When Miisu and Renhou died
10. When I was reading Genrouden and Rei Rei died
11. When Tatara and Suzuno were reunited in death
12. When I thought Amiboshi died the first time
13. When Soi died
14. When Nakago died
15. When I thought Tasuki was going to die when he didn't fight back while evil Tamahome was fighting him

*Sniffles* I'm not crying! Liar! crying

Holy Crap, my poll has got no votes for the Priestess of Suzaku, does nobody like birds anymore?! By the by, another emotional part is when Yui gets raped (supposedly) and Miaka still wants to save her (yeah, I kinda tear up at that part, the happy clingy sucker friend.. no offense people... and Yui, the kinda cold hard person who wants to see Miaka on a spit in her room roasting slowly)

When Yui found out she was being devoured....... I think I said that was my favorite episode in that other post? But... yeah.. My heart actually sorta stopped for a second, and I did cry a bit for Yui-chan... I'm a lot like her, that's why ^^;;

Personally the most emotional scene was the death of Chiriko for me. The altruistic event made me even more respectful of him despite his lack of development as a character, it truly was a very poignant moment.

Similarly the reunion of seperated lovers and the death of Nuriko did invoke some reaction but not quite as much as that of Chiriko.

Why?

Chiriko is a very unknown character, he's not as popular as the moneyhungry Tamahome or the 'vain' hotohori so spoilers were extremely rare. Therefore the action was completely surprising and caught us off guard.

Surprising?

I would say so.
