 Midnight Eye review: Journey to the West ('Saiyuki' - Taiji YABUSHITA, Daisaku SHIRAKAWA, Osamu TEZUKA - 1960)
Set way back in the distant past, Journey to the West begins with a pair of angels gazing down from their celestial golden cloud surveying events way down below on earth and immediately singling out the figure of solitary monkey wandering through a forest grove as a potential troublemaker.
Journey to the West cracks off at an incredibly fast pace and barely lets up for its entire duration, carrying the viewer through a dense, episodic-ridden plot, which, in keeping with the manga, only focuses on certain episodes within the original story.
Journey to the West was Tezuka's first experience in the world of animation, but it proved positive enough to inspire this legendary figure of the manga art form to found his own company in 1961.

 JOURNEY INTO DANGER: Gensomaden Saiyuki Fanlisting   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
"Journey into Danger" is the TAFL-listed fanlisting for the anime/manga series Gensomaden Saiyuki, the quasi-epic tale of four dysfunctional guys on a road trip to save the world -- and naturally much havoc ensues along the way.
A fanlisting is a website where people who are fans of a subject -- such as a book, movie, singer, TV show, actor, character, etc. -- add their name and country to a list along with other fans of the same subject.
Add to that a cadre of equally interesting opponents on their own journeys (including a demon prince who wants to save his mother and who's putty in the hands of his little sister), a couple truly creepy bad guys, and a unique art style, and it's a great series all around.

 Into the West | PopMatters Television Review
The series sustains a tension between the aspiration to fill in traditional gaps and the pedestrian recollection of past fictions, leaving it more interesting as an intellectual exercise than as a drama.
The series, not surprisingly for a piece appearing under the Spielberg/DreamWorks imprimatur, can't quite bring itself to abjure the traditional morality that transgressive women must be punished: one drowns, another dies in agony during an amputation, and the third, Naomi (Keri Russell), is captured by the Cheyenne.
The west of Into the West is messier and less "politically correct" than many of its critics have been able to work out, as these critics don't seem able to step beyond the bare fact of equal screen time for Native American characters.

 Journey To The West/Saijuki aka Xiyouji; Monkey; My Son Goku; Alakazam The Great; Spaceketeers
The first three episodes of this series stay close to the legend, but it soon becomes a gag free-for-all filled with surrealistic and adult humor.
Viewers were puzzled or irate; the PTA complained about the level of bad language and the series ended after 39 episodes instead of intended 52.
Based on a computer game, the 13-episode series retells the early part of the legend relatively faithfully, with a hero now named Kongo, though the actual journey to the west only begins in the penultimate episode.

 PBS - THE WEST - Sacagawea
A near-legendary figure in the history of the American West for her indispensible role on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Sacagawea has become an enigma for historians seeking to trace her later life.
On the return journey, Sacagawea and Charbonneau parted with Lewis and Clark at a Hidatsa village on the upper Missouri, and from this point the historical record of their lives becomes somewhat conjectural.
Some evidence indicates that she did make this journey, then returned to the upper Missouri with her husband where she died in an epidemic of "putrid fever" late in 1812.

Monkey is the English language version of a Japanese television series, based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en.

The loping, rambling, tough-minded tale of the Sackett brothers and their meandering journey across the Midwest (town and territory names flash on screen like chapter markers along the way) set the standard for the modern TV Western and established its two great stars.
The rarefied language is an irresistible mix of high-toned diction and exquisite gutter vulgarities, often in the same sentence (it's the Old West like you've never heard it before), and the imagery suggests hope and promise in the squalor, like a desert flower struggling to bloom in the wasteland.
