Aesir Holdings, which deals with some of the old ADV Films licenses that still exist, has a new planned release for Saiyuki on April 28th, 2015 coming out. This follows up their summer 2013 release of the series, which is one of those decently performing evergreen gateway titles for a lot of fans. While we had some simple placeholder artwork before, the company has now revealed the updated piece as well as a look at the silkscreening for the ten discs that will hold the fifty episode run – that’s priced at just $49.98. It’s a lot of content for a great price overall.
Check out the updated artwork below!
Plot concept: Once demonkind and man lived together in harmony. But when a band of rogue demonic forces seeks to resurrect a diabolical monster, a dark spiritual energy begins to cover the land. Now, it’s up to a renegade priest, a monkey king, a lecherous water sprite and a sympathetic demon to stop the resurrection and return harmony to a dangerous land.
Enter the world of Saiyuki! A unique universe of beauty and betrayal. Where sacred scrolls battle enchanted weaponry and where dragons can transform into jeeps. A land where four reluctant heroes are just as concerned about having a good time, a stiff drink, and a beautiful woman as they are about saving the world.
