Saiyuki Reload Blast has just gotten its premiere date, as well as some new (and old) characters revealed for the upcoming anime.
Saiyuki Reload Blast is a sequel to Kazuya Minekura’s Saiyuki and Saiyuki Reload manga series.
Saiyuki Reload Blast once again takes us on a journey as the latest installment in the Saiyuki series, which also happens to be the first Saiyuki anime that Pierrot isn’t animating. The project is being directed by Hideaki Nakano, along with Kenji Konuta on scripts. Youko Sato is on character design, with GRANRODEO performing the opening theme “move on! and Luck Life’s “Refrain.” will be the anime’s ending theme.
