How can this be faulted. The great dubbing!! the fight scenes!! the monkey magic!!
I am not joking, this is just full of magic, the charicters, Pigsey, Monster, Monkey. And the indeterminable sex of the master.
And the excellent storylines, you almost felt you had become buddist after watching an episode.
9/10
