Saiyuki - Vol. 6: Demon Rising (DVD, 2003)

A blend of action, fantasy, and comedy, the epic Animé series SAIYUKI is the story of a renegade priest, a monkey king, a lecherous water sprite, and a sympathetic demon who team up to form an unlikely band of warriors. Their common enemies are the demons that have covered the land of Saiyuki with dark energy to resurrect an ancient monster. In these four episodes, brave Sanzo organizes resistance against a Baron who conducts a yearly human sacrifice, but runs into trouble from the Armored Demon Corps. Young Lirin may be the villagers best hope, but all of Sanzo's group faces immense physical and psychological pressure.
