Thanks for everyone’s support so far! 
We haven’t been too dormant (well, I have…sorry!) since the last ‘preview’ release of Episode 01, and I am happy to say some great progress has been towards the final release of Episode 01!
This is primarily due to new staff who have joined the SWK Fansub team, and I would like to take the opportunity to introduce the two new translators:
missJade and Yuen!
missJade has done the majority of the translation work so far, from the Vietnamese dubs of JTTW96, and despite this being the first fansub project she has undertaken, she has produced some of the best work I’ve really ever seen. One of the most amazing things is that this was all done in a very short space of time!
Yuen is our newest staff member, and is no stranger to JTTW (I’m talking about the *original* story here) She runs a website dedicated to the story as well as books, film and TV adaptations, and all sorts of other media relating to Journey to the West, which fans will most likely have bookmarked already (since it really is *the* ultimate resource) and has been endlessly helpful with translation and editing work.
Last but not least, we would also like to thank Darkplace for helping us out with the translation work of Episode 01. Unfortunately he won’t be able to continue translation work for the moment (due to an injury) but we would still like to wish him a speedy recovery! ^^
And thus you have the blurb about our new staff, so hope you can join us in giving them a huge welcome to our team!
heyz everyone!
lolz and thanks for the intro flick! *S2 u*
It’s great to be working with you guys ^^
I’m so excited for the new staff ! Welcome guys!
I look forward to your future releases and CAN’T WAIT ! I absolutely love this folklore and JTTW 96 in particular is close to my heart =)
Jae? Who are you?
Thanks for your support, Jae!
It’s great to know that there are fans of the series out there~~ Fingers crossed you’ll enjoy the releases, although I think I can safely say that we do welcome any constructive comments from anyone! ^^
hi there guys! how’r you going? i cant wait to watch the series, thank you very much for your hard work!
Thanks for dropping by, afromonkey
It’s actually all done, but we’re doing QC (Quality Checking) to get this version right first time round. Apologies for the wait!
no problem! i can wait years for this series to be well done!
years.lol
lets hope its not going to take that long:P
but we have another set back so it’ll be after the 25th before we will have a full EP for download:P
theres a part at the end i can’t time because it’s going to need someone who understands Chinese,its the part where everyone chases monkey all i hear is talking and yelling all threw it and it’ll be the 25th before Flick can fix it for me.
Flick has really saved me alot in the timing all ready.lol
if it wasn’t for her timing a few parts would be off bad:P
just look at the 2nd video on youtube where i fixed the canto version but never fixed the others to see what i mean.lol
anyway its nice to see we have fans!!
i haven’t even checked here i just was thinking no one posted yet but us.lol
anyway because the chase is at the end of the EP 1 i’m sure we can get some youtube part to keep you all happy before the 25th;)
be cool and thank you for your support it makes it all worth while!
its been my dream to do this because i’m really crazy about jttw and don’t understand Chinese so i’m happy to meet ppl like me to help do this^_^
ok! i’ll be waithing. thanks for the hard work, guys!
i dont hear any progress…
