Introduction
Having concluded their adventure inside the mystical book The Universe of the Four Gods, Miaka Yuuki and Yui Hongo resume their ordinary lives with but one exception: upon returning to the real world, Miaka is permitted to bring her beloved Tamahome along with her.
Unfortunately, shortly afterward, new troubles threaten the couple's hard-earned happiness. During a visit to the graves of the two other girls who had traveled inside The Universe of the Four Gods, Tamahome is engulfed by a red light and disappears right before Miaka's eyes. Witnessing the puzzling incident, her brother Keisuke and his best friend Tetsuya Kajiwara resolve to help the heartbroken Miaka find her boyfriend again.
Meanwhile, Tamahome has been brought back into the book, only to discover that 50 years had passed since his departure. To his surprise, he learns that he has now switched identities with his former enemy, Nakago. Will the two lovers triumph over these adversities to reunite once more, or are they doomed to remain separated forever?

If you thought the original show was fast-paced, then you're in for a ride for this OVA LOL
The OVA episodes were really fast paced, most notably the 3rd episode. I found myself having to replay the scenes to catch what was going on. If not, it can get really confusing fast!
The 3rd episode was probably the one I didn't like as much as the others. It was weird buildup for the last few minutes, and the reason why all of this happened was because something her friend did, who was actually not repentant about it.
I liked the new music. Something different.
Just really wished they made this into 5-6 episodes instead of 3 episodes. A bit too much going on way too fast that it didn't give time to process what the heck was going on lol
It seemed really cool for an afterstory like a new plot…

Having for any unsuspecting or lack of compression in the industry went on to explain what I understand about the situation of "Fushigi Shuugi OVA". This adaptation is without more or less than the intention of wanting to continue a work that was no longer enough, clearly ran out of budget or decided not to give him another opportunity to continue the story in a proper way, which was in that sense the format of "Series" and not about 3 OVAs summarized with scenes cut in between. Let's add that apparently there has been a change within the production since we have a certain Maseba Yutaka who did not appear as a participant in the main anime.
As a conclusion and without following the manga, it hints that they adapted at least one story arc in just 3 chapters and plan to cont…

When the prequel finished you stay like how was that possible?
He was on the book and a million question were on my mind without and answer..
But It's here! In this sequel you have the answers that you needed!
Even if the begging of this OVA you stay really confused with everything that is happening.. In the end every peace of the puzzle start to match.
And one more time, when you see this you start to think in everything in your life.. "Why did I give up in so many things on my life?" , "I should have fight!"
I think this story can be another one with a happy end for some people, but for others can make the difference and you will start look to the things in a different way.
To me was like that!

Although I was happy that most of the cast came back, it was far too confusing, even for a fan of the series like me.
STORYTELLING:
First of all, I'd like to say that it takes a little bit of reasoning and patience to deal with the storytelling as it switches back and forth between two different settings. It could have gone over well, given that aspect but sometimes the sudden change even left me wondering what just happened. It takes a while to realise what's really going on. Moreover, it's a decent concept but lacks depth.
ART:
The same art style that was used for the original 52 episodes is still present here, which makes me smile, the characters still look the same, minus the minor changes in hair length, indicating time.
SOUND:
I thought the opening and ending themes sounded great,…

Well, let's see how I can put this. At the beginning I was a bit confused but after seeing the whole entire OVA through I managed to understand what was happening.
Storyline: Basically Tamahome is thrust back into the "Universe of the Four Gods." And while he's in there he's mistaken as Nakago which leads to his eventual mental breakdown. Like I said, at first the storyline is a bit confusing and at parts you don't entirely know what's going on. However as the story progressed I eventually understood what was happening.
The story really had a very realistic feel with Tamahome wondering, "Am I Nakago or am I Tamahome?" Or was his mind playing tricks on him? Was he going crazy? It also had an extremely emotional feel to it. With Tamahome's breakdown, with Miaka's doubt at losing the memor…

The concensus was that this OAV was way too confusing. I found it to be that way too - in fact I had to look up a synopsis for this to understand it.
What confused me the most is the time frame - I am not aware of how much time has passed since the last episode of the TV series. Furthermore, how can Hotohori's great grandchild exist when it's obvious that Chichiri and Tasuki has not aged at all? Well at least that's what I understood from Wikipedia. If it is what it is, then it doesn't make much sense. Yui's hair length is something to think about as well. From what I understand, it hasn't been too long from the events of the series. Miaka and Yui had just entered high school, so what's with the long hair, Yui?
The music is still the same - not exactly the same. It sounds the same, mid 9…

While I was glad to see the gang all back in action, it was a lil too emo for me... the whole "we still can't be together" and "what was it all for" thing kinda bothered me. Seemed like there was a lot of build-up that was resolved within the space of 5 mins. the omake were hilarious. perhaps the minor characters were given more attention in the manga, and so it made sense to bring them back.
hopefully they will continue this line in the next one... seems like so much dragging out tho...
