No you misunderstand me. Saiyuki was sold to the UK and shown as Monkey. Saiyuki 2 was never sold to the UK or dubbed into english.
That picture was a picture from Saiyuki 2. It had a horse dragon man in it that you can see on the left. The picture also says Saiyuki and has a massive II at the bottom.
See.

The water margin was shit beans boring.
I loved Water Margin - possibly because I couldn't really understand the plot. Was there one? Also I couldn't quite follow the dialogue because of the strange pronunciation of the script.
For weeks I was convinced that there was a man who was famous for running "faster than a cow". You would see him doing a sort of slow motion walk/run silhouetted along the skyline of what looked like a quarry to symbolise his fast running.
I wondered if in China there were special cows that ran really fast and they were the symbol of speed.
Years later I saw a clip from Water Margin and heard the actor speaking the line about faster 'than a cow' and realised that he was saying faster than 'a hcharrow'. Then I slowly realised it was 'an arrow'. It spoiled the surrealism of the thing for me.
In chinese take-aways I order by number.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
My old man watched Water Margin, I watched Monkey, so I've gotta go for Monkey because what I did see of Water Margin was very boring.

I'm still confused. Was it a woman or not?

So many particulars. So many questions.
Monkey.
The god character was more androgynous than even the lead singer of Placebo.

Now that was rubbish.
Monkey has been re-made as a TV series (methinks!) - not sure if there's a subbed/dubbed version yet?????
Atomic S...do you know?
There's also a Bruce Lee series I'm looking out for.

It was a very pretty woman playing a boy.
I was like, "hey I like the pretty girl in Monkey"
"Thats a boy"
"Whaaa, I'm gay"

Couple of years ago. Starring Japanese TVs Mr everybody on TV all day long - Shingokun.
I watched a couple of episodes but didn't really rate it.
I expect there are Chinese versions too. There are all sorts of cartoons and manga for the story in Japan. Even Dragonball Z has some connections but as I have never really seen that (my wife is an expert) I can't comment.

Maybe I'll give it a miss. I'm still keen to get The Legend of Bruce Lee Series - 50 episodes - looks great - no 'English' version available yet to my knoweldge despite US money being sunk in to it.

No, and I could probably get the certificate to prove it
I really liked the Water Margin and they replaced it with inane shite imo. I was only 10/12 or so.
I rarely like replacements.
I remember a great animated version of the Monkey King years back (80s possibly at xmas maybe Ch 4) that I'd love to see again.
As for the debate Monkey for me, but did watch The Water Margin with me dad and liked it too.
And yes I fancied the pants off Tripitaka too even before I found out she was a ladygirl.

Nah, used to be on BBC2 iirc, about 6pm maybe, early evening anyway. I used to want to be able to fight with two swords

the story of dragonball started off as a saiyuki parody
that's back when goku was a proper monkey boy bulma was somewhat in the sanzo role they had that transforming pig but it quickly lost pritty much any connection to saiyuki
