Oh my goddamn sh*t, have I rarely seen a worse adaption of like ??? What? A few chapters of a decent Arc?
No damn wonder they looked at that in 2022 and said "you know what we need to make this entire arc over because what the hell were these fools smoking."
First you sit through 12 episodes of some truly meaningless painful filler that makes Bleach's bount arc look like a solid 8/10, just to arrive at what was at some point supposed to be the Even a Worm Arc and then you get regurgitated bullcrap, rotting away type boring *ss drivel that makes you wish you never touched that sequel series in the first place.
No amount of neurodivergent hyperfixation powers can make that enjoyable to watch, and I am not even including the most out of character writting the Sanzo Gang has ever been subjected to here.
Easily a 3 out of 10.
Those three points are for technically present animation, some cute character moments once or twice, and lastly theoretically not bigoted or offensive content, if you subtract the entire affront to my love for saiyuuki.
And oh my Jesus fuck, that opening makes my ears bleed. Truly horrible.
Skip this one and watch Saiyuuki Reload Zeroin instead, believe me, you are not missing out on anything.
