Saiyuki Anime

[Smiley424]

Hello everyone here on the MW Boards. I've been looking at a new anime series to watch and Saiyuki came up as one I might be into. I know its based on the Journey to the West Chinese Folktale. I wanted to know what the show is like and any thoughts/opinions on the series.

Thanks,

Phil

This one's for the yaoi fangirls. 4 bishounen half-demons, Goku, Hakkai, Gyojou and the questionable monk, Genjo Sanzo, make a journey to the west to stop gyumao (bull demon) from being awakened...but....that plot is lost and forgotten for most of the series. They stop in random towns, kill a monster of the week and have some random flashbacks here and there. The action scenes are just scrolling screens with guitar in the background, full of angst, and almost totally boring. But it has its "touching" moments.
