I came across some comments on reddit while looking up more info on this Chinese cartoon.

Update #2

Okay, it's out finally! Episode 1 on youtube.
If the video is blocked in your country you can bypass it by changing the 'tube' in 'youtube' to 'pak' in the url. Also, this link from qi_meh's reddit looks like the English webiste for The King's Avatar. I haven't had time to explore it but you can read the web novel there too.

Update #1

So, the reddit user jumped the gun by saying Monday. I'm sorry for posting so early as well! Qidian will be doing official English subs though it looks like they will be delayed to later this week or the next. Anyone with news please share! I'm checking reddit, gravitytales.com and the novel updates forum for any new information. I know that it sucks to wait but keep in mind that they are testing the waters. Viewership count of the official release will factor in to the future of this series as well as adaptations of other manhua and novels/LNs

reddit post #1
"Our official english subbed version will be released on Monday, please support the official release instead of using 3rd party websites :)
In the future, we will be releasing both english and chinese subbed versions at the same time to minimize piracy situations like this one".
-u/qi_meh
reddit post #2
"Our official english subbed version will be released on Monday,
We ask that you please support the official release instead of using 3rd party websites, it costs nothing except a bit of your patience". :)
-u/qi_meh

"From what I understood, qi_meh is connected with people who produce anime in China, that's why it's official?"
-u/Eldoss

"qidian hires translators and posts on an official platform vs a group of random people pirating the video and writing whatever they want on it.
in this specific case i think the translation quality might be abit higher, and we also don't have to look at the chinese character subs above the english ones (which the fan-subbed version couldn't get rid of since they don't have the original video file)"
-u/portmantomato
reddit post #3
"Qidian said they are working on a subtitle on release
Whoops, one more thing, the animation of TKA will be officially released on April 7th, and we are working on the English subtitles right away. Really hope you guys could enjoy the animation; hope we can catch up the Chinese version releasing. (We have cooperation with Tencent Video and the EP1 might need to be delayed to release out of China for 1 or 2 days. Hope you guys could understand it. We will try our best to get it done on time, as fast as we can do)"
-u/Morinu

"We plan on releasing via youtube, and yes for free" :)
-u/qi_meh

"It will be released monday beijing time, I'm not sure which YouTube channel it will be on yet but I will post a link once it comes out" :)
-u/qi_meh

Thanks for reading, if this turns out to be true I'll come back and update with the youtube link.

That's pretty cool if true, specially it being released for free on Youtube... Maybe they're trying to build up a fanbase before trying to officially license it for the Western market.

I would certainly wait a little to watch the official release just because of that, anime is becoming far too stagnate creatively so a little competition from other countries may bring some positive changes overall.

I agree, I'll wait too! I just hope it's not a bamboozle, u/qi_meh account is new so that makes me super skeptical.
"Thank you for supporting the official release, if viewership looks good hopefully we will be able to animate more of our favorite Chinese novels in the future".

Looks like they are testing out the waters.

You're right about the competition. It's just sad that the comment section under most Chinese made anime is something along the lines of "hur dur, muh animes da chinks are taking over!". There has been lots of mediocre and shiet anime produced so it's nice to get other perspectives as well. I was very impressed by the first episode, some of the CGI was wonky but not Berserk level bad.

thank god. the current fansubs I've seen weren't great. I can imagine people who aren't faster readers had a hard time with them. It's really weird watching an anime where they speak chinese. so many long r's

You'll find it when it's up in youtube cause any upload of the episode will get deleted, so the one that's up has to be it XD.

That's what I thought. They really offered no proof that they were real, so it was kind of silly to believe them.

I 100% agree. I know a lot of people get bothered by how fast Chinese subs go, but I think I got used to them after watching Twin Spirit Detectives lol they aren't that bad

Anyways, I can't wait for episode 2 ^_^

Not saying that qi_meh isn't a fake, but why are people acting like episode 2 has already aired?

If mal is right with the date, then this anime started airing on 7th april. Supposedly episode 2 is a leak if we going with 1 episode each week. Knowing china, I wouldn't be surprise at all. After all Kanabari was also "leak" when japan pause for a week(forgot the reason, think it was earthquake)

Ah I see. Well but that basically still mean ep2 supposedly is being broadcast tml on the 14th for the wider audience. So really no surprise that sub for it isn't release officially(or even the raw)

PS: I know the raw exist and I watched it already. What I am saying is ep2 just isn't officially out yet for those that are complaining about being behind schedule like lunainvictus.

They are behind schedule. Ep 1 aired almost a week ago now. If they don't provide subs for it until next week, and then release later episodes with the same kind of delay, it's a little annoying. This is the year 2017, after all, and I've grown accustomed to simulcasts (or fansubs picking up the slack when simulcasts aren't available).

Also, it's not that uncommon for a series to debut with two episodes in its first week; this season of Berserk had two to begin with. So if I see raws for two episodes go up, I'm just going to assume that's what happened, because it's not that far-fetched. I didn't realize ep 2 of TKA wasn't part of the regular broadcast, but now I know.

Which is why I mention that qi_meh could still be a bogus even tho there is a legit reason why ep2 is 'rare", be it sub or raw. No behind schedule if qi_meh is a bogus troll.

Anyway ep1 fan sub is out. I understand both chinese and english so I can say the fansub is quite accurate. That said I didn't verify the whole episode for error so I could be wrong.

Yea qi_meh could be fake but the episode also had copyright issues, so that could be another reason why they had to make changes before uploading it.

Quan Zhi Gao Shou Episode 2 has been translated into both Spanish and Portuguese. On 09/04/2017, Spanish on the site mundodonghua.weebly.com and in Portuguese on the blogger hu3animesfansub.blogspot.com.br, it has not been translated into English for Bayi Sub's as far as I know it is posting In Nyaa.se, the Spanish sub, in openload and the sub Brazilian in Vimeo.


None of them are making modifications to post to YouTube.

If that is on reddit, it is misinformation and is not true. There are up-to-date announcements on our MAL club page here.

To address the other questions on this thread:

> One episode of TKA is released per week, however there is a VIP service on the site where it is released (for China) where members can watch the episode for the week after. Meaning that episode 2 was not technically released last week, it was leaked (by someone with VIP service). It is likely that this leak will occur for future episodes as well, but Bayi will be subbing the released episode.

> The reddit post regarding the release date for official subs was not true. However, there ARE official subs on the way. That is all that has been confirmed.

> Bayi will release episodes on Fridays (Beijing Time).

Cool, thanks for the clarification. Last time I had looked at the Bayi club page, that announcement about the TKA subs wasn't up yet, so my bad.

I haven't really watch the official sub yet, from what I see, they are trying to max on deliver the original Chinese meaning (the origin of MC's character name etc)and somewhat sacrifice the “easy and entertaining” element compare to Bayi's sub?

But since I am capable in both language so i can spot the difference, not sure other English speakers will care about this.

It is official and they should fire that translation guy cuz the quality is pure terrible(facepalm

WELP, if they didn't improve their sub in following episodes i'm just gonna stick with Bayi's subtitle. One thing about the official Youtube upload is the resolution seem higher than their Bilibili upload?
