hi! figured i'd make a pinned post:
where i'm rewatching jttw 86:
the official english subtitled youtube playlist: the translations aren't the most accurate, but it does the job, and i like that you can see the chinese characters in the hardcoded subtitles as well. one caveat is that each episode has been edited down to like 45 min, so there's def some missing scenes here and there, and most episodes "end" a few minutes into the next episode's upload. (after ep 6, i tag based on the actual episode's story, not the cctv subtitled upload start/end points)
(i've already watched the series several times over since i was a kid, but it's been a while since i did a full rewatch, so this is what my many many posts are about. i'll also be jumping back and forth between episodes as i remember things i want to revisit, but currently am mostly going in sequential order)
if you don't want a subtitled version, cctv also has an alternate playlist with slightly different edits per episode (which are closer to the original starting/stopping points). distressingly, eps 10 and 11 were uploaded only in 240p
note: neither have the original full opening/ending sequences ;( but you can find them in various clips on youtube
a couple notes about the english translations under the readmore to keep this shorter:
