Thank you for the translations and add ons @Switch ! Really interesting stuff. Ethnic village … still haven’t found anything on the Miao specifically, but the Hakka has settled in villages in Hong Kong during various times, like during the Qing. Like this one, also with a Kung Fu history; Kung...

Yeah, but even on HK Island you have villages. It would perhaps make more sense from one of the islands or the mainland, so if the journey went between HK and Kowloon…. That would be perfect. Kind of like on his bus ride, like he didn’t cross a channel exactly, but irl he did. It would be a...

Think we can all agree this was a great find. No ifs or buts about it. No need to keep nitpicking. Excited about what else you guys will dig up, it’s incredible and no doubt will be more to come. Wonder what else might have been cut, not only from beta dev but from the original writing. Would...

Yeah, can totally imagine it! This is so awesome. The grassy field/green field makes sense, they would reuse discarded stuff after all. Would have loved to see the journey. Enjoyed catching up on the PRS blog even more now. Having an entrance to the village by Man Mo Temple too seems sensical...

Sure, it is unknown how it would fit. Just as it’s unknown that it would be “visually jarring to some extent”. Not sure what your point is, that we don’t know for sure it was meant to be there? Accessible from SC? If so, blending isn’t really an argument imo. Why wouldn’t it blend if that’s...

Honestly in the late 80s you could probably walk for a bit in any direction from a developed area and hit some kind of village or smaller settlement, farmland or fishery, especially on the mainland side of the city. Still can, even on HK island!, but they have mostly been developed to a great...

Yes, for real! So many villages, some of the more remote ones you have to hike or take a boat to get to. Many have been swallowed by city development and expansion of high rises, some have been regulated (they can build three stories high living quarters and sell them at great profit), and some...

Amazing find, @LanDC ! Such an enjoyable read, feels like having an itch well scratched (after 20 years). What I love the most about this is that they planned to include a village to HK. HK island and New Territories have plenty of villages! Some quite far off others literally in walkable...

Love these so much, star gazing Ren is one of my favourite pieces of fan art ever (and I’ve seen a few!). Excellent job!

Took three days to complete, fingers crossed! With all those awesome events for people able to visit Yokosuka I’m happy they are doing this so everyone can participate in some way.

Hah, true, that extra insult that no one would even think of it. The games did a good job showing their odd friendship of sorts, happy to see it even more in the anime.

Why did Ren tell Joy that no man in Hong Kong would even think of hitting on her? Is she under some sort of protection that everybody knows about, like she’s off limits else Guizhang will find you and beat you to pulp? Found that bit funny. Really loving how the show is showing that Joy seems...

Definitely! Saw that can and was like “yeah, 8HKD can of San Miguel from the nearest 7/11!” Hah. It’s those details, also the tiled red sidewalks so typical of downtown, the view across the harbour, the barred windows with the air cons of the residential buildings. Love it all so much.

Another great episode, really enjoying the music and the animations. They’re capturing Hong Kong perfectly. Joy is becoming my favourite character so far in the anime, love how they are having her a great help to Ryo whilst being an interesting person in her own right. Xiuying is everything I...

Yeah saw that! Fancy place having afternoon tea actually if you ever visit ☺️
