Customer Reviews of Monkey Magic: Enter Stone Monkey (Epi. 1-3)
Monkey Magic rules When I first watched it on TV I didn't know it was a chinese folktale I thought it was just anime. Kongo is my favorite character
and his jet cloud is his best transportation. I have seen all of the episodes and I think that they should come out with new ones.
I only watched this because it has a great storyline. Monkey Magic rules all the way.
Where's the original???
Like the previous reviewer from Australia, I'm looking for the original classic TV shows. Why are they only available in the UK, in a format incompatible w/U.S. VHS????
Fun Sci-Fi-esque take on Journey to the West
Anyone who grew up in Britain or Australia duing the late '70s and early '80s will probably remember a great live action TV series called "Monkey!" (produced in Japan, and dubbed into English by the BBC). The theme song to that series was a '70s disco tune called "Monkey Magic", which is where this series gets its name.
Both series, however, are based on one of the great classics of Chinese literature, "Journey to the West". That novel (written about 500 years ago) was a fictional retelling of the stroy of XuanZang, the real life 7th century monk who brought the "mahayana" Buddhist Sutras to China from India.
The original book was both extremely violent and extremely complex. Both aspects come through fairly well in this animated series, and the Monkey King translates well to this setting.
If you find yourself wanting more when you finish watching this series, consider one of the excellent books available from Amazon in translation...
