Expert review
This action anime blends Chinese mythology with urban thriller elements. Fights are stylized but frequent and intense, featuring superhuman powers and armed confrontations. Several dramatic scenes (injuries, character death) may disturb sensitive children.
Synopsis
When the irritable monkey king visits a temple together with his master Tang Monk, he feels offended because of a trifle and thereupon accidentally destroys a magic tree growing on the sacred ground. This brings an ancient demon king back to life, who promptly kidnaps Tang Monk to take revenge for his long imprisonment. The monkey king and his followers have only three days to not only save their master but also to prevent the demon king from regaining his full powers and destroying the world…
Difficult scenes
Severe injuries and limb loss (character loses right leg) Parent death during bombing/terrorist attack Repeated intense fights with destructive powers and flames Dangerous motorcycle chases and violent crashes
