Monkey Magic was an anime series that aired in the 1990s. The story is an adaptation of the novel Journey to the West. To avoid religious implications the Buddha was named The Guardian. The show did not perform well and only one season of 13 episodes was made; the pilgrimage had only begun with the dragon-horse joining the small group and the priest’s two other disciples not appearing. Sunsoft produced a PlayStation video game based on the cartoon.
