SAIYUKI: REQUIEM, THE MOTION PICTURE
The sequel to the hit anime series is here in a brand new feature-length extravaganza! When the unspeakable evil of the demon world begins to plague mankind, powerful heroes are needed to defend the earth from these atrocities. Welcome to Saiyuki, the epic action/adventure story that brings you to a realm of magic and mysticism, sword and sorcery, and the eternal battle of good versus evil.
Based on the original 16th-century Chinese novel Xiyouji by Wu Cheng-En, Saiyuki first began to take shape with an animated version of the tale in the late 1960s. The current incarnation features a colorful cast of characters based on the popular manga by Kazuya Minekura and features the storyboard and direction work of Hayato Date (Naruto) along with Dentsu Inc. (Final Fantasy: Unlimited) and Studio Pierrot (The Super Milk-chan Show, Naruto).
The Sanzo party has always been haunted by the past, and most of the time they've been able to deal with their ghosts. But when they enter The House of Dougan, they may not be so lucky! Lured to the mysterious shrine by a beautiful girl, Sanzo, Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai become ensnared in a trap of dangerous shikigami, murderous doppelgangers, and a malevolent monster who has destroyed his own soul for a demented purpose.
Saiyuki: Requiem, The Motion Picture ($29.98 SRP) is a DVD-only release including a 95-minute feature presented in English 5.1 and Japanese 5.1 with English subtitles.

Special Two-Disc Collection!
The boys are back in town on February 1, 2005 when this first 2-disc volume of the six volume Saiyuki: Double Barrel Collection series hits the shelves. Experience the story that started it all in this new blazing hot collection.
Long ago, demonkind and man lived together in harmony and peace. But when a band of renegade demons seeks to resurrect a diabolical beast, a dark spiritual energy covers the land, ending the peace that existed between man and demon. Now it's up to a reluctant team of spiritual warriors to stop the resurrection ritual from taking place and restore peace to a dangerous land. These adventurers are just as concerned with saving the world as they are about having a stiff drink, a good time, and a beautiful woman at their side.
