To all the guys that say this show is a ripoff of Dragonball,Let me inform you guys that both Dragonball and Monkey Magic were both based on the chinise story "Journey to the west" except the only difference is,Dragonball went it's own direction while Monkey Magic follows much closer to the original Journey to the west story.
@RobbytheLion I dunno, you look at Mahayana Buddhism, especially when influenced by the Taoist pantheon and Chinese folk beliefs, and the Buddha functions as a deity.
Wow that was awesome. I have never before watched this show ever, but after watching this vid, I have to say Sun Wu Kong just cracks me up, Guan Yin/Blossom is cute/pretty, and that Buddha/Guardian is just damn cool. :D
LOL pooe Congo, he got pwnd by Budha---i mean The Guardian :(
Pretty acurate to book indedd altough they forgot the part when he takes a piss in one of those pillars. Obviously it is a kids show and a pretty cool one
Your posting prompted me to buy the whole DVD set. Thanks. It is drawn from a TV dramatization of the ancient Chinese story "The Journey to the West" produced in Japan called 西遊記 with Masako Natsume and Masaaki Sakai in it. I have seen all the episodes of the latter and I can say that the translation into English is very well done indeed.
holy shit !! i remember this. Monkey Magic was freaking awesome back in the day. Ronin Warriors, Samurai Pizza Cats, Pokemon, Monster Rancher, and DBZ were my SHIT way back when. LoL
never seen this before XD. but its too bad that they didnt stick entirely with the true plot. in the actual journey to the west tale, sun wukong used a brush to write his name on the budhas finger, and then pissed on it to make his mark. well. this works too i guess
@qukai000 LOL. yeah but remember this is a kid's show! They had to rename the Buddha "the Guardian" to take religious subtext. lolol but your comment did make me laugh haha.
i just want to know the ending did he ever see his friends again did congo and fanya get together do anyone know because of looking at the jap version and looks like richard cox did congo voice
@ltdtaylor1970 Yeah, but it's not. He plays Ashura (think i spelled it right) in Gundam Seed, tho Richard coz does voice a monkey in the earlier episodes.
I remember this anime from 1998,good times.lol

Buddha's not a god BTW, stupid cartoon. I wonder how Buddha really would have reacted to a spart mouth monkey. I'm sure he met plenty in his day.
