Just to make one thing clear: I have not yet seen this particular DVD, thus the rating is based on what I know of the anime, which is up to #6, but I think I should comment on the review above.
That This DVD is sold with another Collector's Box for "all 7" DVDs is a misconception.
The first Collector's Box for Volumes 1 through 6 encompasses the FIRST SEASON of Saiyuki, while Volumes 7 up to whatever (Saiyuki has 50 Episodes in all) are what this Collector's Box is for.
I admit numbering this DVD #7 is confusing... Maybe Season 2 #1 would have been better...

Another boxset. Remove the staple holding your hand to your forehead, sit down and see what happens next.

Our protagonists acquire three new bad guys (who can kick the asses of the worst they've had to deal with so far), knowledge of past lives and a cadre of bored gods and goddesses who you expect to wager on the outcome out of sheer ennui.

This ain't your Daddy's Monkey King.

I'm sorry, you Bandai fan you, Klyngster, but ADV is probably just starting out. I must admit that they are in fact ripping you off by making TWO boxes and it IS annoying with the ads they made, but you MUST know that Saiyuki is pure genius on Kazuya Minekura's behalf. The DVD itself is what people mostly aim for, and, like I said, it was the DVD itself (with help from the creator) that people want, and if you dont want the box then dont buy it.
