The domestic animation "Journey to the West: The Demon King Reborn" has a Douban score of 5.9: It is very similar to "The Return of the Great Sage"

The domestic 3D animation "Journey to the West: The Demon King Reborn" was released in China on April 2. It currently has a Douban score of 5.9. 3,407 netizens have rated it, and 43.1% gave it a 3-star score.

Netizens said that "Journey to the West: The Demon King Reborn" looks very similar to "The Monkey King", but the special effects and fighting scenes are online, and the plot has no innovation. It may be because the audience is relatively young. The plot has only one simple main line, but the IP of "Journey to the West" is very limited, and the audience is tired of it.

"Journey to the West: The Demon King Reborn" tells the story of the first demon born in the world at the beginning of chaos. His name is Yuandi, and he is regarded as the ancestor of demons. Millions of years later, the former demon king Sun Wukong was rescued from the Five Elements Mountain by Tang Monk. Wukong promised to protect Tang Monk and went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. The legendary demon ancestor Yuandi appeared again, and the three realms were in danger. The two generations of demon kings were destined to have a final battle, but this time Sun Wukong met a real strong enemy.
