No no! I'm *glad* you posted what you did. I only 
just finished laughing over how you put it, the 
"Miaka-Tamahome-everyone else love triangle". ^_^ 
Because that's exactly how it was! Me, I thought 
maybe all the adoration was kind of because she's 
some near-goddess as far as they're concerned. 
You know -- they aren't *really* in love with her 
as much so as what she represents. (Blah, blah, 
blah. . . I know they are actually supposed to be 
in love with her, but my version makes sense!) It 
certainly was a soap opera done anime-style with 
a fantasy location. Actually, seeing Fushigi 
Yuugi is the whole reason I never watched Ayashi 
no Ceres. As soon as I heard it was done by the 
same person. . . O_o;;  RUN!! RUN AWAY!! ^_^;;

(I learned that only *after* downloading all of 
Ayashi no Ceres -- this was before it's US 
release. I burned it to CD anyway and I 
occasionally look at the little stack of discs 
and think: Maybe there's something redeeming 
about it. Then I come back to my senses. ^_~~)

However, at least I can say that Fushigi Yuugi 
didn't offend me. After the things I've been 
reading about Kite, I'm really glad I never 
bothered to watch THAT. (I'd heard similar lousy 
reviews for it before, but some of the things 
said in this thread were extra incentive to treat 
that anime like the plague. o_0;)

Many Sharp Smiles,
