I kinda predict shirtless scene in OP/ED, but bath scene even in the first episode shows that they really want their fanbase from 20 years ago back. Though this is the first time I see it. I may or may not had read it in the past, but I read dozens of manga each years, who can remember!

ayyyyyyy back at it again with Saiyuuki
I'm surprised that projects like this are still being animated after so many years. It feels and basically looks the same, I liked it though.

edit: uhh nvm about looking the same... I refreshed my memory by checking the 2000 version and it hasn't exactly aged well lmao

Finally got to see my favourite boys back in action again after the Gaiden anime. I really like the animation quality for this episode and I hope it continues until the end of season. Since a new studio is working on Blast, it gives me a fresh feeling watching the Sanzo ikkou in action.

And oh yeah, we got Urasai episode again. I really missed that part in Reload.

The Audio Quality is horrendous.

Also the Beginning reminded me of Freezing and Princess Lover! (as its pretty much the same opening with different characters even the vehicle are the same .. lol what a bad copy)

After watching it .. well the Villagers changed way too quick and they "went missing recently" ? you mean like 13 years ago? overall wouldnt watch this further

If anything this is pretty much all the other Saiyuuki OPs mixed into one, and since this shit is older than dirt then that makes the other series you mentioned the bad copies.

Never seen Saiyuki before, but I'm pretty sure the first season was like 20 years ago...seems really weird to do a sequel now, honestly a reboot would've made way more sense because it'd give newcomers easier access and draw in the old fans too.

But hey it wasn't that difficult to get the basic gist of things- music was great, but aside from that it was pretty standard. I did recognise Sanji's Seiyuu though...I forget his name lol. Well I think it's him anyway XD

Oh, but the manservice was a treat and blond priest dude is quite the looker.
Don't think I'll be bothering with the rest of the anime though tbh.

I'm so happy right now I could cry. It's been too long, Saiyuki! Loving the OP and ED. Would definitely love to see a reboot happen though; especially since a lot of people are missing out on this greatness because they don't wanna sit through the old 4:3, lower quality animation of the early 2000s.

I still remember picking up my first copy of the Saiyuki manga in 2004, I remembering painfully watching the first Saiyuki anime and I am getting goosebumps from the intro because the boys as back in town!

I do feel it a shame that people that aren't familiar with the series and sees this won't have the same connection with the characters since that's basically half the series. But I am looking forward to seeing this anime!

And it's ALWAYS a pleasure to get some Ura Sai! <3

So according to Opening, this will adapted the whole chapter 1 thought 10 of Reload Blast manga and no filler this time. Nice adapt of chapter 1. And argh the classic Urasai part (I missed that so much after Gunlock ended) and it's so funny lol. I still think the most funniest Urasai moments was this:

Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo: Ura, uraurauraurauraurauraurauraurauraurauraurauraurauraurauraurauraurauraurauraurauraura......
Sanzo: SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!

With the 12 episodes adaptation of Reload Blast manga, this will be completely no fillers and stay true to the manga unlike the previous 3 seasons.

I think it's a little to early for me to rate this new season. While I like having the boys back, I wasn't the biggest fan of this ep. The part where the boy tried to justify the girls song and her wanting to make the town happy would seem sweet, but seemed somewhat ridiculous as we see her opening the gate for all the demons to come kill everyone. It's not bad writing, it just sends very mixed messages. And for the art I'm still very meh about, it looks beautiful but I think I enjoyed the straightforward art style of the og, but that probably just nostalgia talking.

Saiyuki is largely episodic, so a reboot isn't as valuable as it could be in other series. I might have invested in an OVA or special to come out first and bring people up to speed on the story and characters, but there's not even a whole lot there either - the story and characters are just Journey to the West with a suave punk makeover.

the other sequels, including this one, is just too... I dunno, pretentious? compared to the first one.

also Goku is too... old... here.

Lol this season is take place two years after Season 1 so it's not surprising about Goku being old. And also this season is in final arc now, if Season 2 of Reload Blast (Which is mostly will happen) ended then is no more Saiyuuki after this.

I have waited so long T^T. Kazuya Minekura what took everyone so long?! And everything feels the same. Not like with D. Gray Man who came back with new animation and voices for a 13 episode finale. The OP and ED songs fit the Saiyuuki theme really well. It actually feels like it hasn't been over ten years. TBH I lost hope that they were ever going to finish this, but I am so happy. 2016/1017/2018 will be the year of finishing things that we've started! This was the show that started it all for me T^T

Well Kazuya Minekura can't finish the series due to her health status has become worst since 2011 and causing manga version of Reload Blast is progress in very super slow speed (The manga currently was just 12 chapters since the manga started at 2009, even though this is the final arc now), we don't even how long Saiyuuki will end with this slow progress.

13 years after the second Season and they literally copied Princess Lovers First Episde (except for the princess). If thats the best they can come up with then GG for this show.

Bad news for you, the first season of Saiyuki anime aired in the 2000, and its source manga is from 1997.

Saiyuki is way older than Princess Lover! as a serie. By almost one decade.

Ok. It's impossible for a mangaka like Minekura sensei to copy, and let me say that I couldn't find where they're alike, in Saiyuki Reload Blast which follows Saiyuki released on 1997 , they always use this kind of vehicles ( jeep) and humans are always chased by yokais.

Yeah, but even before her health took a turn for the worse she halted Saiyuki to work on Wild Adapter. And while it's a good manga, she'd already put over ten years into Saiyuki at that point.
