----------------------------------------
Saiyuuki, or known as "Alakazam the Great" in the US, is about the monkey king Son-Goku/Alakazam who wants to battle Buddah but ends up going on a pilgrimage with Buddah's son. This 1960 movie anime is the bases of many of today's anime, especially the Dragonball franchise.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Not my favorite version of the legend. Story was way too rushed even when compared to similar takes of the story like https://myanimelist.net/anime/20189/Boku_no_Son_Gokuu with many stuff changed or got very wrong. This is not the movie you should get your knowledge of Xiyouji from.

This show's progression feels so unnatural as things just happen without proper preparation of its aims. An adventure where events feel so thrown it doesn't reach the intended effect of wonder, even more by lacking imaginative scenarios and backgrounds. Poor man's Wanpaku.

No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!"
It’s time to ditch the text file.
Keep track of your anime easily by creating your own list.
