Is
It Any Good? The animation
quality is superior to TV
episodes of this series although
as always with Anime it varies
from lazy to showy and the
fighting scenes become very
repetitive and samey. But when
they are not fighting the story
is reasonably involved and
interesting.
The
basic premise of the series is
not really re-iterated in this
film and so it might not be the
best point of introduction to
the Saiyuki universe. Much of
the background discussed above
that also applies to this film
was actually gleaned from
watching TV episodes of Saiyuki
Reloaded which was being
reviewed at the same time. So
you probably need a bit of
existing knowledge to understand
some of who the characters are
and what it is they are supposed
to be doing in their overall
quest.
