Hi, I live in Japan and Im watching Saiyuki on Sky Perfect TV channel 361 now.
Its fantastic !! Its the one where monkey, Pigsy and Sandy go to a village and find three demons who bond together to shoot flame (laser beams) at them. I can't believe that they sound the same in japanese as in English !!
I can understand about 90% of what they say....its strange because its very popular here but you can't buy it on DVD or Video.
I'm waching and recording them too.
I've ordered the complete boxset to amazon.co.uk in September but they don't dispach them yet.
and from Octorber, TV started to air. The end of November will be the end of the 1st season.
and already they've decided to air the 2nd season from this December! It includes 13 unseen episodes.
oh! I don't have to get the DVD boxset!
(but I want to make them my collection)
I guess the Japanese sound in this program is a little dificult for not japanese if he can speak Japanese.
because the story is in China and sometimes the actors act like Chinese people (Chinese monster?).
I can understand 100%. cause I'm Japanese...
below are the link of the program but contents are all in Japanese.
the station is "Family Gekijou".
