I want something that resembles the ancient Chinese mythology and setting, so none of these modern/futuristic takes. I also want something that balances the comedic and serious tones, so nothing like Stephen Chow's stuff. --- Hail Hydra <cite>Krow_Incarnate posted [p:887811475] in So if I'm ...

Ogurisama 10/04/17 4:40:21 PM #2:	Dragon Ball would be the worst one if you want to see Journey to the West. Sure it is loosely based on it early on, but it isnt all that close Only other version i can think of off the top of my head is Saiyuki, though that is a bit more modern version of the story, as opposed ti ancient china --- http://cdn-android.apptap.com/img/870/mobi.colortrilogy.bitlink/267135850.png https://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/12/10/5/uv4r7nGyrE6ylt2lHGWpiQ2.gif <cite>Ogurisama posted [p:887811655] in So if I'm ...
