My first exposure to the Journey to the West myth was in those couple of episodes of Love Hina where they did it. They apparently left out all the homoeroticism.
I have an unreasonable love for Chin Yiso. This is mostly because when I was translating part of Book 4, he was the easiest to understand. You have to like a demon who speaks in the polite form and uses honorifics even when one of his arms has been sliced off. Class. Pure, centipede-infested class.
