Summary:
Miaka Yuuki, an average middle school student caught up in studying for exams, is sucked into an ancient Chinese novel titled "The Universe of Four Gods". There she discovers that she is in an ancient country in what is now China, Konan, and is to be the Priestess of one of the four gods, Suzaku. As the priestess, her duty is to gather the Seven Seishi of Suzaku, who are to be her protectors. Once they are gathered, the priestess will summon the god Suzaku and bring peace between the warring lands, Konan and Kutou. But it's harder than it seems. Along the road, many hardships are faced, as Miaka's best friend Yui Hongo enters the book and becomes her rival, the priestess of Seiryuu in the land of Kutou. Who summons their god first is up to the courage and skill of the priestesses and their seishi, as they meet triumphs and tragedies along the way.

Fushigi Yuugi is an old shoujo anime, with a long running story with lots of twists that you don't really see anymore. The animation quality, being from the 90's, is understandably not that great, but it has a brilliant story, the characters are great and it kind of takes you on an emotional rollercoaster if you can make it through the 50ish episodes.
If you can appreciate a good love story, with lots of giggles, without minding the animation too much, I recommend Fushigi Yuugi :)
