jedishampooSo, I finished watching the Saiyuki Gaiden OVA. Blood, lots of blood. And guts.
And the worst? Goku cries through the whole thing. I think it's easier to endure when one could only read Goku crying, and not need to listen to or watch it.
I'm heartless, y/y?
I know for a lot of people Gaiden is weep-city, but it pushes my "I'm being manipulated" buttons so, so hard, setting off my "WTF" alarm.
Mostly, though, I enjoyed it, if only for Kanzeon Bosatsu, seeing Li Touten get his, for Goujun (whom I really liked more in this than ever before), and the opening song. ;)

He's almost too badass, too twisty and clever, and his faults habits are almost too twee to be real on their own. It's hard to explain. I do like Kenren a lot more, and I appreciated Konzen more as Gaiden went on, because he learned so much.
(And you totally Get them. If you ever, for example, wanted to write more Kenren and Gojun without Tenpou, I would not discourage you at all. HAHA)
