Wow, how did you manage that? It was on a really long time ago.
I know that the actor who played Tripitaka died of cancer but surely they
made more than that with her. I knwo Pigsy changed actors but I am sure
Tripitaka didn't. I haven't read the book of Monkey, I can't remember what
it's called either but the story told in the show is a lot different from
the original. I always loved the fight scenes, and eveything really...I
live in continual hope that it will be released on video, ut it doesn't
seem likely.
I remember that robot from Ulysses but not the girl, oh actually, I do but
vageuly, was she kind of the same age as Telemachaus? I don't remember it
but it is not surprising that the ship was called Odyssey, since the less
known but as far as I know more correct name of Ulysses is actually Odysses.
