History YMMV / FushigiYuugi

* EverybodyRemembersTheStripper: There are still a lot of people who remember the series only for the innocuous amounts of FanService and [[PerverseSexualLust gratuitous nudity.]]

* AlasPoorVillain: Nakago, arguably.

** Nakago [[spoiler: encouraging Suboshi to kill Tamahome's family ([[DracoInLeatherPants which keeps being forgotten/handwaves by his fans]])]] and, at different tikmes, [[spoiler: making Yui and Miaka believe they had been raped.]]

* AntiSue: Mayo from the ''Eikou Den'' OAV.

* EarWorm: Go ahead. Just ''try'' to get that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMC8wu2mZlY ending cliffhanger music]], and the song it led into, out of your head.
** "Maiagare! Suzaku... miracle la!" (Which brings us to...)
** "Itooshi hito no tame ni!"

* EverybodyRemembersTheStripper: There are still a lot of people who remember the series only for the inoccuous amounts of FanService and [[PerverseSexualLust gratuitous nudity]]

* FanonDiscontinuity: ''Eikou Den'' and the first OAV series are basically regarded as non-canon by fans. The [[LightNovel character novels]] are also highly unpopular with fans, largely due to accusations of [[RetCon retconning]].

* FoeYay: Tamahome and Nakago.

* NarmCharm: A lot of moments in the English dub of the anime come across as either of these two. The main two that come to mind are episodes 4 and 5 of the second OVA: Tasuki's [[spoiler:NearRapeExperience with Miaka]] is dramatic until you remember what other roles DaranNorris has had, and [[spoiler:Hikou's death]] is an absolute TearJerker...right until you hear the sound effect they use. In fact, the whole scene can be seen as {{Narm}} because of the music they're using.
* RonTheDeathEater: Oooooh boy...Miaka's {{hatedom}} just ''loves'' to do this to her so they can pair themselves/their Mary Sue with Tamahome instead.
* TheScrappy: The anime's portrayal of Miaka tends to get her slammed as a PuritySue. The manga portrays her in a more realistic way. Ironically, [[ReplacementScrappy Mayo]] [[AntiSue Sakaki]] from ''Eikou Den'' fits the MarySue bill ''more'', technically speaking, and actually [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap replaced Miaka as the Scrappy in the eyes of some fans]] with the release of ''Eikou Den''. Ashitare, Yui and Tomo have also gained a degree of Scrappydom.

** Also, the fact that he is the series CreatorsPet doesn't help.

* DamselScrappy: How Miaka is regarded by many segments of the fandom. Poor girl.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Chichiri, who's easily one of the most popular characters in the story by a long shot. Nuriko and Tatsuki has also gained a considerable amount of popularity from fans.

* HoYay: Nuriko's feelings for Hotohori and Tomo's for Nakago, both canon. Plus the aforementioned Tamahome/Nakago FoeYay.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Chichiri, who's easily one of the most popular characters in the story by a long shot.

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Nakago, arguably again.

* {{Ironclad}}: Miaka and Tamahome, despite being the main couple of the series.

* {{Narm}}/NarmCharm: A lot of moments in the English dub of the anime come across as either of these two. The main two that come to mind are episodes 4 and 5 of the second OVA: Tasuki's [[spoiler:NearRapeExperience with Miaka]] is dramatic until you remember what other roles DaranNorris has had, and [[spoiler:Hikou's death]] is an absolute TearJerker...right until you hear the sound effect they use.

* DesignatedHeroine: We're meant to sympathize with Mayo? [[FlatWhat Really?]]

* AlasPoorVillain: Nakago.

* {{Designated Hero}}ine: We're meant to sympathize with Mayo? [[FlatWhat Really?]]

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Nakago, arguably.

* AlasPoorVillain: Nakago, but [[YourMileageMayVary Your Mileage]] ''[[YourMileageMayVary Will]]'' [[YourMileageMayVary Vary]]. '''''A LOT''''' on this.

* FanonDiscontinuity: ''Eikou Den'' and the first OAV series are basically regarded as non-canon by fans. The [[LightNovel character novels]] are also highly unpopular with fans, largely due to accusations of [[RetCon retconning]] and CharacterDerailment.

* AngstWhatAngst: Miaka shows remarkably few psychological aftereffects from the [[RapeAsDrama multiple sexual assaults]] she endures over the course of the series, although one could argue she expends enough angst over Tamahome that she doesn't have any left to spare.

* TheScrappy: The anime's portrayal of Miaka tends to get her slammed as a PuritySue. The manga portrays her in a more realistic way. Ironically, [{{ReplacementScrappy}} Mayo Sakaki]] from Eikoden fits the MarySue bill ''more'', technically speaking, and actually [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap replaced Miaka as the Scrappy in the eyes of some fans]] with the release of ''Eikou Den''. Ashitare, Yui and Tomo have also gained a degree of Scrappydom.

* EvilIsSexy: Nakago.

* BaseBreaker: Nakago has proved to be an extremely controversial character on this very wiki. Just see the discussion page for CompleteMonster.

* VillainSue (Nakago, if you ask a good chunk of fandom.)

* {{Narm}}/NarmCharm: A lot of moments in the English dub of the anime come across as either of these two.

In fact, the whole scene can be seen as {{Narm}} because of the music they're using.
