Saiyuki Double Barrel Collection 5 “a high octane action/comedy that just kicks a**” (Anime From Japan). Based on the original 16th-century Chinese novel Xiyouji by Wu Cheng-En, Saiyuki first began to take shape with an animated version of the tale in the late 1960s. The current incarnation features a colorful cast of characters based on the popular manga by Kazuya Minekura and features the production work of TV Tokyo (Noir), Dentsu Inc. (Final Fantasy Unlimited) and Studio Pierrot (The Super Milk-chan Show, Naruto). Synopsis: The road west is marred by the potholes from the past—Sanzo’s adoption by Buddhist monks, Hakkai’s life in a Catholic orphanage, and Gojyo’s troubled relationship with his brother. But was it these childhood burdens that made them into the only men who could undertake this incredible journey? Or was it their previous stint in paradise that forged their eternal bonds? After all, when an bored bureaucrat of the gods takes in a heretical monkey, and joins forces with two other rebels of heaven, those are the kinds of things that keep friends together. Forever.
