omg, as I started watching, I was like– animation style is awesome seems awfully derivative of gorillaz, and then I looked, and it was totally made by the same guy! super cool.

some details irked me a little, like ??? getting all his weapons in one go xD but i can understand they were pressed for time for this promo. also, to everyone who thinks that this video is based off dragonball . . all i can say is, do your homework =.= journey to the west is a well known chinese tale and there have been countless adaptations over the years, dragonball being one of them.
journey to the west is the best folktale ever ;D
