I was hooked on this series by the first episode. The characters are so indivudual, and each person and pairing has their own backstory, and it is a joy to watch it unfold as the series unfolds. There's a good mix between fighting and dialogue, and the characters, when introduced, actually have a purpose rather than just giving a chance for new plot. I really loved it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good all-rounder.

Top Notch Manga; Terrific Adaptation

Saiyuki and its affiliate mangas are in a class of their own, with the characters and story maturing gracefully along with the mangaka. But they were unique right from the start, and only get better as time goes on.

Unlike Saiyuki: Reload, this anime catches the style of Minekura's early work extremely well, though if you want to see what the characters truly grew into, take note of the closing credits where, as so often happens, they use the mangaka's actual artwork. The story is yet one more retelling of Journey to the West, and without doubt (read more)

Saiyuki is an entertaining anime, but I wish the character development was a bit more in depth. It gets better in the latter seasons and the OVA's. Don't get me wrong I really do like the series and I continue to watch the other installments. It is the interactions of the main characters that keeps me entertained. I found the english dub to be quite hilarious and definetly not for younger viewers as foul language is always present. The episodes posted are all dual language guess the previous reviewer didn't notice. To bad there are only 32 of 50 (read more)

I'm sorry if I sound bias but the English version really doesn't sound right to me D:
I have watched this before and I remembered I like it very much...so I decided to re-watch it by downloading it....When it started....I just "............WTH?!" English?!!!
It's ok (I guess) for someone who have never watched the original Japanese version....It's just really weird for me....Does anyone have the Japanese version, PLEASE UPLOAD IT.....

The story is like inuyasha. They have their long journey to stop some demons and save the world...and they never get anywhere. The action is ok but if you are watching this for the action you will be disappointed. Whether you love it or hate it is all about the comedy. Give it 2 or 3 episodes if you don't think it's funny stop watching it won’t get any better for you. I haven't checked to see what episodes anime-access has but the dubs are actually good in this anime for the first season and movie the rest are beyond crap.

I supported the official (read more)

Classic Anime to Attach to

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 (read more)
