Once, demons and man lived together in harmony. But when a band of rogue demonic forces sought to resurrect a diabolical monster, dark spiritual energy began to cover the land-and the demons decided mankind was no longer friend, but food. 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 the 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 of magic and menace, 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...

This long-running animated series is based on Minekura Kazuya's popular manga adaptation of the landmark Chinese novel Journey to the West. Little remains of the original story of a monk traveling to India to obtain the Buddhist sutras, attended by three supernatural beings. A secret effort to raise the demon-lord Gyumoah has caused demons to attack humans in Shangri-La. Sanjo Genjo is dispatched to prevent this resurrection. He takes three obstreperous half-demons as servant-companions: tough-talking, chain-smoking Sha Goyjo; Cho Hakkai, whose pet dragon turns into a jeep; and eternally hungry Son Goku. (Dragon Ball is also loosely based on Journey.) The oddball quartet travels from place to place, fighting demons and helping people. The plot includes numerous anachronisms and lots of action, but little coherent storytelling. The extremely limited animation consists primarily of camera moves over still artwork.
