chomiji: The four main characters fro the manga Saiyuki, with the caption On the road again (saiyuki - road)

This is surprisingly addicting, even though I can't understand much more than the character's names and a very few words (like onna - "woman"):

Hakkai (well, Gonou in these scenes) is completely adorable, and the scene where he's telling his story to Gojyo is quite close to the manga, I think - complete with Gojyo holding up his pinkie yakuza-style to mean a woman when he asks about the person Gonou has lost.

I had a whole comment written out on all the characters and what I lliked about them, and LJ just ate it :( *cries* Thanks a lot for posting this though, I didn't even know it was online and now you really made me want to watch the whole thing.

Ok let's give this another try (and this time I'll save my comment before hitting "post"!). Actually I ended up watching the whole thing after you posted this, and I have to say I really fell in love with Goku. He can't have been much younger than the other actors, right? But despite that he still brought across all of Goku's childishness and excitement, I thought that was great. I really loved Hakkai too, that guy was just perfect for the part. Even without understanding anything, the way he talked seemed just very Hakkai-like to me.

But you're right, a Gojyo grin or really any kind of lighter moment would have been nice. I mean I loved all the angst and drama, but what's Saiyuki without the fun? Maybe that just got lost in the non-existant translation. But overall, I really liked it.
