Getting ambushed by rogue demons on the road is business as usual for the Sanzou party. But when their latest assailants turn out to be humans, the group is left dumbfounded. The mystery only deepens when they encounter a wandering priest, Hazel Grouse, and his imposing bodyguard, Gaty Nene Hawk. The pair hails from the far West, with Hazel using his powers of resurrection to aid grief-stricken villages. While his ability is greatly welcomed by the people, the truth behind it is less miraculous than it seems. Furthermore, the resurrected humans gain golden eyes, a trait they share with the group's recent attackers. It appears that the friendly priest's intentions are not as generous as one might expect—and the Sanzou party is a step away from unraveling them.

Saiyuki Reload Zeroin is a remake of the 2004 season Saiyuki Reload Gunlock, the difference is that this new season follows the manga fairly. Story: This season focuses on the new characters Hazel and his bodyguard Gat, "bringing back the dead to life" is Hazel's power: using demons' souls to revive humans. The first part which was episodic sets the main characters conflicting POVs about this power, but the final part of good pacing manages to thrill us with the new enemy and the Sanzo Ikkou development. Characters: they are the driving power of the story and this season fleshed out all the characters, especially Gokuwho had a great development. The new characters also got a satisfying conclusion
Art: the characters' design is fitting to the story, yet the fight scenes are most of the time clumsy. However, it is way better than the previous seasons.
Sound: the Seiyuu did a pretty good job delivering all the emotions, the opening and ending were great. However, the osts were generic and repetitive.
Enjoyment: I enjoyed every episode from this season, it went from "the Sanzo Ikkou are back" to "my boys got this far". It was entertaining, funny, wholesome, thrilling, and emotional.
10/10

Oh, Lindenfilms. Please, please, never adapt a manga ever again. Saiyuuki's new anime is... a mixed bag. To say the least. Not what I wanted to say considering the great quality of the manga source. Yet still, it was somehow a peak of an otherwise completely uninteresting season for anyone not interested in *insert current trending drivel here*. Let's start with the elephant in the room. The art. A step up from Tokyo Revengers, Lindenfilms here manage to retain the detailed character designs. As with the aforementioned show though, the animation quality is rather low. It's very static, almost like a PowerPoint at times. The actionis reminiscent of clicking through the dialogue of a visual novel. Let's leave it at a five out of ten. High because of the quality of the designs they somehow preserved.
Now the quality of the adaptation from the source. The pacing was very odd. They even adapted a 13 or so page gag side-chapter as an entire episode. 24 minutes of my time wasted on a minute long manga read, which was clearly there to save budget considering the stunted visual quality. I thought "island episodes" were a thing of the past, but here we are with one in a cour-long show. Other decisions to stretch out some subplots and in effect skip over others took out the majority of the "mystery" aspect present in the manga, where the two parties were locked in a war of attrition to figure out the intentions and abilities of the other.
That being said, thanks to the source it came from, the story was very good. Best part of the Saiyuuki manga, in my opinion, and a decent anime as well. A bit of yokai-infused 4D chess crossed with Stardust Crusaders-style travelling westward. You can read the synopsis yourself, weeb.
The sound was some generic anime sound effects crossed with some standard background music you can find anywhere else. Although, the OP and ED were pretty great. Love some GRANRODEO.
Characters are a big part of Saiyuuki and they were preserved very well here, with the perfect cast of voice actors to accompany. As the pull of Saiyuuki, it's no wonder they're good.
Luckily despite the anime being heavily restricted in what it could have done, I definitely enjoyed it as a big Saiyuuki fan. I'll end by saying this definitely isn't beginner-friendly and it's absolutely required that you read the manga set before this arc, but it definitely is worth watching, once you catch up with the manga, that is.
7/10.

honestly, what is this series for? because people who have followed the Saiyuki series would know that Hazel Grouse and Gat Nenehawk have already appeared before in Saiyuki Gunlock. so them appearing again is weird and Sanzo group acting like they don't know each other is even weirder. i mean the producers of this particular series should probably watch the earlier seasons and not re-input characters that have appeared before like they are completely new characters. additionally, i have no idea what is the motive of the black Sanzo, that guy is freaking annoying. overall, i think this series is pretty disappointing.
