Fans of the long-running Saiyuki franchise have a new installment to look forward to. Following the events of Saiyuki Gunlock, which adapted portions of the Saiyuki Reload manga and the "Even a Worm" arc, this new anime project will expand upon the supernatural adventures of the monk Genjo Sanzo and his formidable companions.
Saiyuki Gunlock itself is a continuation within the Saiyuki narrative, adapting storylines from the Saiyuki Reload manga. Produced by Studio Pierrot, the team behind many installments of the franchise, the series explored the group's ongoing quest to prevent the resurgence of the evil Ox-Demon King. This new anime is expected to build upon the established lore and character dynamics that have captivated audiences for years.
