* BrotherSisterIncest: Kanan and Gonou/Hakkai didn't realize they were long-lost siblings until after they fell in love, apparently. The anime toned it down it so that Kanan was only ''like'' an older sister to Hakkai, instead of actually ''being'' his older sister.
* BrokenBird: The show has lots of male examples. Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai are all deeply psychologically scarred, cynical, physically attractive, snarky (except for Hakkai) and hypercompetent at their job... that is to say, killing things. A lot of the villains would also count.

* [[AlternateCharacterReading Alternate Character Meaning]]: The written title is a pun on the traditional spelling of "Journey to the West". Instead of the kanji for "west" it uses a character that sounds the same when read aloud but turns the meaning into "Journey [[AC:to the Max!]]"

* {{Filler}}: Tons. The filler in the first anime series, ''Gensoumaden Saiyuki'', is generally considered superior to the filler in ''Saiyuki RELOAD'' and ''Saiyuki RELOAD Gunlock.'' All three series liked to rehash the old familiar sob stories, but the Gensoumaden writers applied them to new situations and even animated chapters of ''Gaiden'', while RELOAD/Gunlock tended towards endless flashbacks or {{Pokemon}}-esque character-of-the-day side stories.

* {{Shotacon}}: A lot of fans seem to be uncomfortable with the idea of Goku in any kind of romantic or sexual relationship, given his childish nature and appearance, despite the fact that he's physically 18 ''and'' ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. This is especially bad for those who have only seen the anime--while it showed the very beginning of his CharacterDevelopment in the Kami-sama arc, it quickly OvertookTheManga and tended to treat Goku like a standard [[IdiotHero stupid]] {{Shonen}} protagonist.
