Rating 9/10. I don’t know why this reimagination of Journey to the West donghua series is so underrated. This is an exciting story that takes place 16 years AFTER the sutra has been successfully collected & presented to the heavenly emperor.
In this Westward story Tang San Zang is no weakling monk relying purely on his disciples to protect him. This holy monk is kick-ass. He fights, he punches (HARD!), he is witty, funny, fierce, protective & more. Sun Wu Kong is well Sun Wu Kong need I say more. Some new interesting key characters are introduced in this story which changes the team
...
dynamics of the travelling entourage giving it layers & is refreshing to watch.
There are 1) multiple exciting & fantastic fight scenes between demons vs gods vs dragons etc. 2) great character progression, 3) well paced storylines, 4) touching moments (between Tang San Zang & his most famous disciple) that made me shed a tear or two, 5) well timed humour, 6) quality of CGI & artstyle is top notch, 7) the designs of every main character is so spot on & I love every one of them, 8) every season has a nice soundtrack, I can carry on indefinitely with all that is so great about this donghua. However I think anime fans please go watch it yourself then you will understand what I mean.
