Saiyuki was an anime I watched and it seems odd anf rather goofy at first because it is circa 2000 when anime was just starting to really kick up the very deep and moving storylines.

Without telling plot or the synopsis which is given when you download. Saiyuki had a storyline without as complex as those today, but it did have a compelling moving pace that made you attach and wish for the sucess of the characters.

The Reality is a world of humans and demos is here (seen it, right) but this has a quite entertaining cast of mamber a Priest of great power venturing with 3 demons with power limiters to keep them from going full monster while maintaning immense skills and strengths. The first few episodes crawl a bit, but then the humour and action and importance of encounters and the battles draw you in. Genjo Sanzo is one of the great priest and carries a 38 special with a crucifix for a front sight with blessed silver bullets (bad for demons) The other cast inlcude Goku (not the orange jumpsuit man) but he does use a pole. is a young demon sanzo elped, and the others fall in too.

The story has the priest keeping these rowdy miscrients in line 2 of them always have very comical interaction and the third is super technical with science and spells he owns a pet dragon tha can morph into object including vehicles they ride in.

It does have a compelling cataclysmic scenario, A long time brother fued, and many plot turns to make it interesting. If you like good Shoujo give this a try if you aren't filled with all the awesome new anime.

***NOTE, NOTE*** ASLO- it says episode 4 is missing but the uploader actually mistakenly put both episodes in episode 3's -they are not different downloads, they are different episodes 3 & 4.
