Saiyuki Reload Blast is an anime series that premiered in 2017 on Japanese TV station, AT-X. The show is based on a manga series of the same name by Kazuya Minekura, which was first published in 1997. The story follows four friends: Genjo Sanzo, Son Goku, Sha Gojyo, and Cho Hakkai, as they travel across a treacherous land filled with demons, in order to find the truth behind a disastrous event that occurred 500 years ago.

The series is a continuation of the original Saiyuki anime series, which aired in 2000, as well as its sequel, Saiyuki Reload, which debuted in 2003. Saiyuki Reload Blast consists of 12 episodes, and features the same main cast of characters from the previous installments of the series. Ian Sinclair voices the role of Genjo Sanzo, a stoic and serious priest who is the leader of the group. David Matranga plays the role of Son Goku, a cheerful and energetic young boy with a mysterious past. Greg Ayres voices the role of Sha Gojyo, a laid-back and flamboyant half-demon with a sharp tongue. Rounding out the main cast is Cho Hakkai, voiced by Micah Solusod, a calm and collected former demon researcher who possesses a dark secret.

The story of Saiyuki Reload Blast picks up where the previous season left off, with the four friends continuing their journey to the west to retrieve the sacred scriptures. Along the way, they encounter new enemies, including a powerful demon who seeks to use their abilities for his own purposes. However, their biggest challenge comes in the form of their own past, as they are haunted by memories of a tragedy that took place 500 years ago. As they travel closer to the truth, they must confront their inner demons and learn to trust one another in order to survive.

The animation style of Saiyuki Reload Blast is striking, with bold colors and dynamic action sequences that capture the intensity of the battles between the heroes and demons. The landscapes that the characters travel through are also beautifully rendered, with a level of detail that adds to the immersive experience of the show.

One of the standout aspects of Saiyuki Reload Blast is its strong characterization. Each member of the main cast is given a unique personality and backstory that enriches their interactions with one another. Genjo Sanzo, in particular, is a fascinating character, with a complex history and a stoic demeanor that belies his emotions. Likewise, Son Goku's carefree attitude hides a deep-seated fear of losing his friends, while Sha Gojyo's flamboyance is a way of coping with his own insecurities.

Despite the heavy themes of loss and tragedy that run through the series, Saiyuki Reload Blast also has moments of humor and levity that provide a well-rounded viewing experience. The banter between the characters is often hilarious, and the show manages to balance its darker moments with moments of warmth and camaraderie among the group.

Overall, Saiyuki Reload Blast is a compelling and thrilling anime series that is sure to appeal to fans of the action and fantasy genres. With its stunning animation, strong characterization, and gripping story, this series is a must-watch for anyone looking for an engrossing anime experience.
