So, I'm watching Saiyuki Reload: Gunlock. Ok, first of all, what was the animation budget for this? $5? And when did Goku start being 12?

Anyway, I have reached the part where Yaone and Dokugaku save Kougaiji with The Power of Their Love, which may or may not be somewhere around my favorite part of the entire manga. ~~Stop looking at me like that.~~

Since I watch the anime mostly for the Kougaijitachi filler, should I watch the whole thing, or just recommended eps? (Particularly appreciated are "These are not my friends! They are my subordinates! And we are enemies! I do not-YAONE! Stop talking to Hakkai! LIRIN! Get off his shoulders!" moments, because we like watching our High Strung Emotastic Woobie Prince try to be a cool villain and fabulously fail at it. Yes, yes we do. We await the day Hakkai invites them over for tea.) And when is the three-armed Goku moment? Or have I missed it?

ETA: Wait! Was it a three armed Goku, or everyone looking like monkeys? I forget.

I only ever watched two or three episodes of Gunlock. To me it looked like they had a slightly bigger budget than the first series, but much less creative direction, and everything just looked like... crap. The first series had a certain quaint charm to its low budget look. The third. Not so much.

The first series is pretty fun. The second has shinier animation in terms of design and color and such, but...bad actual animation. It's kinda lazy.
