a keikawa throwback review from a long time ago...hope you guys enjoy it and thanks for the read!



"It’s a wonderful feeling. You’re walking down the street, you stick your hands in your jacket pocket and, while reaching around, you feel some paper. Wondering what it is, you pull your hands out to find that you found money! You know the feeling.

Well, this time it’s still the same feeling. But instead of searching through pockets, its through cr; and instead of finding money, it’s finding an old favorite, like Saiyuki (幻想魔伝 最遊記)!!

If you don’t know what Saiyuki is by now, here’s a “brief” synopsis:
Adapted loosely from the Chinese novel, Journey to the West, written by Xīyóu Jì, the Saiyuki story follows the journey of four unlikely heroes as they travel westward towards India to stop the resurrection of Gyumaoh (牛魔王), the Bull Demon King. Of course, it wouldn’t be a good Japanese anime without a group of motley warriors, each with their own unique – and oftentimes – bizarre characteristics to spice up the story. There is the monk, Genjyo Sanzo, who drinks, smokes and fires a sweet-looking Smith and Wesson, 6-shooter revolver which can banish demons; Son Goku, whose irrational behavior and superhuman strength makes him a liability; Gojyo, the half human, half demon with an attitude, and love for women and gambling; and finally Cho Hakkai, whose modest and quite exterior, fools his opponents before he mercilessly blasts them with his “ki” energy blasts.



But if there's one thing to take away from all of this, is that this series has it all: sorcery, alchemy, technology, ancient and fantasy theme beautifully intertwined, heavy artillery and kick-ass fight sequences! It’s everything you want in anime.

Now, although there are only five episodes on cr, I distinctly remember what happens later on in the series (as any fan should ), and it is goooood. So good, that I had to spell it with an extra three “o’s.” It just gives you a taste of what's to come, and if you don't believe me just watch it and you'll see!! Now, I hate it when people spoil animes for me, so I won’t spoil it for you. But I will say this: you have to watch this series!!"

Gensoumaden Saiyuki is a very good anime.
In our school almost every class likes this anime until today, Because it's very funny and heart-touching and every episode will make you thrill like your crush accepted to date you or had a perfect score in the EXAM.

I asked everybody who liked Saiyuki who will they choose GOKU or SANZOU?
The results is Goku has won and Sanzou loses...

I can't help to hide this but... in my facebook and friendster every picture is Saiyuki or Goku and or sometimes Sanzou!
