“If you like fantasy or just want to have a good time, make sure to check out Saiyuki!”- Anime-Planet.com
ADV is proud to announce that the hottest demon hunters in anime are coming to a store near you this Halloween! The Saiyuki Complete Collection thin-pack contains all 50 episodes and can be yours this October 31! Don't miss out on what Anime from Japan calls, “A high octane action/comedy that just kicks a**.”
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: Once, demonkind and man lived together in harmony. But when a band of rogue demonic forces seeks to resurrect a diabolical monster, a dark spiritual energy begins to cover the land. Now, it's up to a renegade priest, a monkey king, a lecherous water sprite, and a sympathetic demon to stop the resurrection and return harmony to a dangerous land. Enter the world of Saiyuki! A unique universe of beauty and betrayal. Where sacred scrolls battle enchanted weaponry and where dragons can transform into jeeps. A land where four reluctant heroes are just as concerned about having a good time, a stiff drink, and a beautiful woman as they are about saving the world.
Saiyuki Complete Collection (SRP $99.98 DVD) is a thin-packed DVD-only release including all 50 episodes, presented in both English 2.0 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles.
