Of all the classic Chinese novels, Journey to the West is arguably not just the most famous, but the most influential. Combining comedy, fantasy, action, and historical drama into a single narrative, Journey to the West tells the tale of a monk who travels far from his home in China in search of Buddhist sutras. While this basic premise may seem difficult to adapt for Western audiences, the sheer scope of the story and its colorful cast of characters gives Journey to the West impressive longevity. Some of the most popular anime series of all time have used Journey to the West as a template, but few have taken such a unique approach in adapting the classical tale as Goku Midnight Eye—a classic cyberpunk anime action extravaganza.
