Olivia Subero of Comic Book Resources noted that the series infuses historical anime with a supernatural twist. She praised the main characters, the powerful demons of the story, and the intense fight scenes.[68] Gabriella Ekens of Anime News Network (ANN) found interest in the relationship between the characters and praised their story, describing it as serious with well-balanced character-based silly behavior, and becoming attached to them. On the visual level, she called Saiyuki Reload Blast disappointing, noting the show's distinct art style, which is only rarely noticeably off-model. She stated that the dramas delve into characters' past lives and revisit them in a way that you don't already know about, and it's clearly a next-stage arc in an extended saga, if it doesn't change in a strange way.[69] Fellow (ANN) reviewer Nick Creamer feels that Blast hits its targets perfectly and describes the character and background designs as "quite solid."[70] Another fellow (ANN) reviewer, James Beckett, describes the combination of the framework of traveling to the west with western styles as a more modern spaghetti, finding its purpose very interesting. He notes that the action scenes are short but light and entertaining enough.[70] Also, Paul Jensen and Rebecca Silverman of (ANN) see the first episode as a kind of standalone reintroduction to the main characters, which they find somewhat predictable, calling it a very ordinary and somewhat predictable Western.[70] Charles Solomon of Animation Scoop criticized the main characters for not changing and growing.[71] Marshall Daley of Bubbleblabber rated the series 9 out of 10, stating that the story is great and a huge improvement on the plot. He finds the characters strong and deep, and praises the voice acting. Daley expresses that the animation is much better, encouraging viewers to come out and play, and the art is stylish as usual. He concludes by saying, "This story did justice to the raw material and actually enhanced the characters, giving them deeper and more internal motivations for their actions, making their connection in their new life quite natural."[72] In his review of the anime Blu-ray, Chris Beveridge of The Fandom Post described the show's plot as more of a flashback, linking it to the nature of their journey, and described the story as changing in a good way.[73]
