oh i know him!! don't know his name, but he does a lot of movies and he's really funny. 3nodding

Dicky Cheung!!

I got so excited when I saw this topic! I love Journey to the West, it's one of my favorite old chinese folk stories/myths/legends or whatever it should be called. I also like the manga Saiyuki 3nodding Anyone read that?

OMG!! SAIYUKI!! gojyo, and sano, and goku and hakkai>.< they're so cool!! lol. anyways his name is Dicky? lol. and i saw the beginning of the new version of journey to the west, it was cute, and funny, then it just got weird and scary and stuff like that. Hm... it seems that journey to the west is the main story and the monkey is just the back stories... like there's one with the pig, but i haven't seen the one with the water sprite. (the pig married his cousing O.o or maybe i'm just confusing it with something else.)

Ah Saiyuki. I've downloaded all the episodes of the anime, but so far I've only watched the first episode. xd

i saw all of reloaded, it was good... i'm looking for eps. 3 of gunlock xd

I actually don't want to watch it, I heard the animation was pretty bad. I'm just gonna stick to the manga for now 3nodding The artwork is so pretty. Is there an anime for the Gaiden series for Saiyuki?
Oh and has anyone seen the movie? Or maybe there isn't a movie.. I don't know confused sweatdrop

Ah, the Journey to the West series with Dicky Cheung...yeah that may have been the greatest but my favourite Monkey King Series was the one starring Liu Xiao Ling as Monkey, Xu Shaohua (Tripitaka), Ma De Hua (Pigsy), and Yan Huai Li (Sandy). Made in 1986, it was the TV show I watched constantly as I child.

I never got to watch a lot of the Dicky Cheung series, so obviously I'm not as much of a fan of it as all of you are.

It is on-topic, I promise.

If it gets shown by the BBC then that would be pretty cool. They never show any anime or asian stuff really. A few of my friends and I actually emailed all the terrestrial channel companies urging them to put more anime on tv - only channel 4 replied. sweatdrop

OMG, they're going to remake the original Monkey series?!! eek I'm definitely going to buy the DVDs of it when they do come out. I do hope it gets shown in Australia on SBS.

I actually still have the original email, here it is~

Dear Sir/Madam,

I think that there is not enough anime (japanese animation) on British TV nowadays. Myself and many of my friends think that it would be a good move if Channel 4 were to start broadcasting anime. One of the reasons why your television station should start showing anime is because anime has been getting more and more popular in Britain over the past few years. It is popular because it is appealing to children, teenagers and adults. If you were to search for any anime on the internet, such as 'Full Metal Alchemist', then you would most likely find that there are many fansites set up dedicated to each series, showing how popular anime is, all over the world.
Furthermore, no other TV channels on terrestrial are currently broadcasting anime, meaning that your TV channel would become the sole purveyor of anime on terrestrial. I know that there is a large demand for anime on television as many channels on the SKY network, such as Cartoon Network, have started showing anime and this large demand has also prompted the creation of the Anime Network which shows only anime 24/7.

So if you would please consider broadcasting anime in the future, myself and the whole nation full of anime-lovers would be very satisfied.

Thanks for your time, Will Chau.

And the reply is as follows~

Does anyone of you have the song to the monkey king? It is called ''Bai Long Ma'' I think.

It goes similiar to this:
Bai long ma, di xiao qi
tou shang...zai
di hui qu jing bu rong yi, rong yi geng bu zhe dang ye qi.
(It must be completely wrong, but sounds similiar. I forgot the lyrics.)

Can you get me the lyrics and the song?

You can download the song on LimeWire, its sang by Andy Lau and Dicky Cheung. 3nodding
