I've had a few discs from this series in my saved section for what seems like years. The good news is that, at least for the time being, it is available on instant watch. The bad news is, it's dubbed. But, if you want to see it at all, it's really the only option since it doesn't look like they'll be getting the missing discs any time soon. As for the series itself, Saiyuki is a lot of fun. Thankfully, it is a lot more adult-oriented than I was expecting with adult language and themes. Four disparate characters set out on a journey to save the world. As is typical with this type of anime, the characters have different abilities and temperaments, and, of course, end up arguing most of the time. The plot and even the characters are reminiscent of a lot of other anime but I happen to really like these types of series. If you like quest anime, you can't go wrong with Saiyuki. The series continues with Saiyuki Reload, Saiyuki Reload: Gunlock and Saiyuki: The Movie: Requiem, none of which are missing discs at the present.
