This is a complete episode listing for the anime series Fushigi Yūgi. Directed by Hajime Kamegaki, the fifty-two episode series was produced by Studio Pierrot. It is based on the first fourteen volumes of the Fushigi Yūgi manga series written and illustrated by Yuu Watase. The series premiered on TV Tokyo and on the satellite channel Animax on 6 April 1995 and concluded on 28 March 1996. The series was followed by three Original Video Animation releases. The first three episode OVA, released 25 October 1996, was not based on the manga, but was purely an anime creation. The second OVA is based on the final four volumes of the manga series. Spanning six episodes, the series was released as two three-episode volumes, with the first released on 25 May 1997, and the second coming over a year later on 25 August 1998. The final OVA, titled Fushigi Yūgi Eikoden, is based on two related light novels written by Megumi Nishizaki. Released on 21 December 2001, the series spans four episodes.

The entire Fushigi Yūgi anime series, including the three OVAs, were licensed for Region 1 release by Geneon Entertainment. The series was released under the expanded title Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play. The TV series was released in eight individual volumes that contained 6-7 episodes each. It was also released in two collectible box sets, with season one contained in the "Suzaku" set and season two named the "Seiryu" set. The first two OVAs were released together in a set titled "Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play OVA", while Fushigi Yūgi Eikoden was released as a single disc volume. The two box sets and the two OVAs were released with similar packaging, to give them a consistent look. All four of these sets were taken out-of-print and no longer available. With the closure of Geneon USA, the individual volumes may now also be out-of-print.

Fushigi Yūgi uses three pieces of theme music. All fifty-two episodes feature the song "Itōshii Hito no Tame ni" (いとおしい人のために, "Itōshii Hito no Tame ni"?), performed by Akemi Satō, as the opening sequence theme. Yukari Konno's "Tokimeki no Dōkasen" (ときめきの導火線, "Tokimeki no Dōkasen"?) is used as the series closing theme, except for episode two which uses "Song of the Wind" (風の旋律, Kaze no Uta?), performed by Chika Sakamoto, is used as a memorial sequence for Nuriko. For the final episode, the regular ending theme is used along with the opening theme "Itōshī Hito no Tame ni."
