Hey there,
I've seen this really cool anime adaption of the classic story. Here's the story so far:In a time where humans and demons are able to coexist,A secret effort to raise the demon-lord Gyumoah has caused demons to attack humans in Shangri-La. Sanjo Genjo is dispatched to prevent this resurrection. He takes three obstreperous half-demons as servant-companions: tough-talking, chain-smoking Sha Goyjo; Cho Hakkai, whose pet dragon turns into a jeep; and eternally hungry Son Goku. (Dragon Ball is also loosely based on Journey.) The oddball quartet travels from place to place, fighting demons and helping people. The plot includes numerous anachronisms and lots of action, but little coherent storytelling.
The characters are kinda different from the original, first of all Sanzo isn't helpless guy, in fact he's the one who gets the rest out of the problem, he smokes alot and drinks and also carries a gun, Goku(Monkey)isn't really a menace compared to the original, he's more innocent but still loves food and drives Sanzo crazy, Hakkai(Pigsy)unlike the original he's kind calm and NOT greedy. Goyjo(Sandy) is a heavy smoker, loves drinks and has a weakness for women, he always picks on Goku.
