Comments on Saiyuki Reload Ep. 7
Okay... saw the infamous 'cat' episode of Saiyuki Reload.
1.) Dude. The guys falling all over a cat? ... maybe. I can buy Hakkai and Goku doing it. Gojyo and Sanzo... not so much. Although we all knew that frigid jackass had a somewhat soft side.
2.) Cho Hakkai. I am ashamed of you. You picked the equivalent of "Tortoise" for a calico cat? Goku didn't say "neko-neko", man. Creativity. And Gojyo's was a common name, but it was kinda random.
3.) And another thing on the names: they came up with "Tama" (Goku), "Mi-ke" (*sigh* Hakkai...), and "Betty" (Gojyo). I, personally, prefer the Merciful Goddess' idea of "Daigoro". Just say the name: "Dai-go-ro". It's awesome. Anyway, the cat's true name? "Mei-Mei", which is Chinese for 'little sister'. At least they get points for keeping Saiyuki's cultural setting correct.
4.) THE CAT IS A MARY SUE. I didn't even think that a cat could be a Mary Sue. Everyone loves her, she's pretty and perfect and she saves the main character's life. Dude. That's just a 'wow'. So points in my book.
All in all, mixed opinion on it.
Still think they should be in frickin' Iraq by now, though. Fits with all the sand.
