Summary:
Many years ago, humans and demons lived in harmony. But that unity ended when demons started attacking humans and plotted a mission to unleash Gyumao - an evil demon imprisoned for thousands of years. Now, Genjo Sanzo, a rogue priest, must team up with three demons - Sha Gojyo, Son Goku, and Cho Hakkai - and embark on a perilous journey to the west to stop these demons from resurrecting Gyumao and restore the balance between humans and demons on Earth.

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.
