Synopsis:
Set in a vibrant, fantastical land inspired by traditional East Asian folklore, this series follows a young monk's pilgrimage to retrieve sacred scriptures. He journeys alongside an unlikely group of companions – a mischievous monkey, a stoic pig, and a powerful, enigmatic fish spirit – each harboring their own burdens and desires. The narrative explores themes of redemption, self-discovery, and the complexities of faith through episodic encounters with mythical creatures and challenging moral dilemmas. The animation style blends traditional aesthetics with a contemporary sensibility, creating a visually rich world that balances humor and moments of quiet reflection. It's an introspective exploration of spiritual growth framed within a captivating quest narrative.

I watched this with a Korean dub as a bootleg CD-ROM when I was hella young, and the whole time I thought the Pokopon character was a bear. 손오곰>손오공 It took me like ten years to finally find it and rewatch it, just so I could check whether or not bear/tanuki Sun Wukong was a fever dream of mine or not. Also, they made Xuanzang an old man, Zhu Bajie a cow, Sha Wujing a fish, and I still can't really tell who the pink character is supposed to be. I don't regret spending so much time looking for it - I like it alot even now. It's impossible to find on stream anywhere now, so I'm pretty sad that that CD-ROM is long gone. I managed to rewatch it from some blogger who just happened to archive it for whatever reason.
