What is the ancient Chinese for "damn"?
Nov. 2nd, 2021 09:53 pmNirvana in Fire is now geoblocked on Viki in the UK (and the USA and eastern Europe, apparently). I seem to recall that this has happened in the past, so hopefully it will be back soon. But even assuming that this is temporary in the way that various films and dramas bounce between BBC, Netflix, and Amazon as they hold each the rights for a while, it's a wake up call to me to get on with acquiring a personal copy for the long term. Tomorrow.
There's still an unofficial version on YouTube that uses the Viki subs, though it has some eps missing, and the 'official' ChinaZone channel one, but the latter not only has significantly inferior subtitles, but has now been censored to remove the flashbacks that show young Lin Shu's actor. So really not an adequate substitute.
ETA: There appears to be a complete playlist at https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x6fwnx I haven't reviewed the subs, but the vid quality looks decent.
ETA2: Response from Viki.
