Kungfu Fantasy Awesomeness!

So...last time I posted this a few people said "Great, but there isn't a version with English subtitles dumbass!" (I'll admit I'm paraphrasing but they said something similar )

I just noticed that someone has made a version with subtitles now so thought I'd share. This is easily my favourite Chinese fantasy show ever! I watched the first 5 mins and the subtitles all seemed fine (aside from the theme song whose translation I thought a little odd but meh).

I really liked this show! Even though supposedly it deviates from its source material rather heavily. Fight scenes were fun though, and the acting was pretty good.

I enjoyed the first episode.

I'm not normally a fan of the wuxia genre. I prefer choreography to special effects, and more traditional swordsmanship and martial arts to the fantastical stuff shown here. But the story and characterization is interesting enough for me to keep watching the series!

Thanks for the new show, thaelis!
