Xian Jian Ep 1 hardsubbed

I ask that anyone who has or wants to put any of these fansubbed Xian Jian/Chinese Paladin eps up in another forum or in their clubbox to please PM me and let me know first.

Do not upload any of these episodes on any direct viewing/streaming sites (ex: YouTube or OurMedia). Keep these in forums/bt sites.

Thank you.

Title: Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan; Chinese Paladin, Ep 1 (of 34)
Subs: English topsubs
Format: .avi, 376MB, hardsubbed

Yes, I plan to release this entire series. Please have patience; I'm doing this on my spare time outside of classes.

This is Episode 1 of the Chinese wuxia fantasy (emphasis on fantasy) series 'Chinese Paladin,' or Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan. See review for more info on this series in my sig.

This is the DVD rip version, and the one I chose to work with because I think the quality is great. I don't have the full version, and I believe no one does. English hardsubs are on the top of the screen, because that's my preferred spot when Chinese subs already exist on the bottom.

Comments are welcome, and if there're any suggestions for future compression options for quality, let me know. I will not, however, change the color or position of the subs.

I apologize for any errors. This is the first ancient, wuxia-ish series I've fansubbed, and since I only edited through once, there are probably mistakes. I also took a bit of creative license with certain translations when I thought they might sound weird in English, and added in some cultural notes in spots I thought would be confusing.

Warning: Initial leeching will be slow, but it'll pick up once a few more seeders can help me out. Cool

Kindly don't ask when the next release will be, because I honestly don't know. Like with any fansubber, constant asking and suggestive comments don't help to keep my interest in sharing this. This initial plan was to wait until I had completely finished subbing before releasing, but I decided to start releasing before I'm all done. I will try to keep them coming at regular intervals, but no promises since schoolwork takes priority. I'll try to have Ep 2 up either this or next week.

~~For those who don't already know the storyline, there are quite a few spoilers in the ending theme song (darn them Mad

I wish I had been warned when I first watched it.) I'd suggest skipping the ending theme if you don't want to ruin some parts of this series, and definitely recommend not watching after 46:08 unless you really want to kill the series for yourself Tongue

~~

Edit: This is some extra info about the series, which I believe is correct (feel free to PM me if I have anything wrong here). Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan (literally Saga of the Immortal/Divine Sword & Miraculous Xia) is a collaborative series produced by a Hong Kong company, is based off the RPG of the same name made in Taiwan, and was filmed in the Mainland. It stars Mainland, Taiwan, Singapore and HK actors and actresses, so some people may refer to it as a China/Mainland series and some people may call it a Taiwan series.

Please help seed when you're done. Thanks very much, and hope you enjoy!

Is it mandarin dubbed or cantonese (original language)?

It's in the original language (Mandarin). I know at least one of the actors is from Hong Kong, but even though mostly everyone speaks Mandarin, everything has been redubbed in Mandarin again, I presume to keep the speech sounding standard or something.
