So, if you grew up during the 70s and 80s (or even the 90s if you were in Australia), then you would probably be familiar with a Japanese show called Monkey, which adapted the 16th century Chinese epic Journey to the West. It was a great, slightly cheesy show, and school-aged me loved it!
Well, in 2018 and 2019, Australia and New Zealand decided to adapt
that for The New Legends of Monkey. It's a good mix (to me; opinions may vary) of the same cheese factor that gave the original its charm, along with great storytelling, and a little loving pastiche (like Pigsy using an earphone in his rake to hear something through the ground, or Sandy narrating out loud while she writes). But the thing that sets it apart is its occasional callbacks to the original, from Tripitaka being female (in the original, he was played by a woman, since I think Tripitaka was a boy in JttW; here, the girl masquerades as Tripitaka after the original is believed killed, including pretending to be a boy), to more subtle calls like using the original's weapons in a retelling sequence, and two uses of the opening theme.
If you have Netflix, check it out on there; if you live in Australia or NZ, it should be on ABC iView or...whatever the NZ equivalent is.
For now, though, here's the original's opening theme, to help bring back memories. Only the first verse was used in the show, so we avoided the wailing synths prevalent in the rest of the song. Sorry in advance for hurting your eardrums.
