Journey To The West 1998 Eng Sub -

This series is not the classic 1986 CCTV version (25 episodes), but rather the second major CCTV adaptation, filmed to cover the remaining 16 episodes of the original 100-chapter novel that were omitted from the 1986 version. It is often called the "1998 sequel" or "Journey to the West Part 2" .

Here lies the primary difficulty. Unlike Japanese anime or Korean dramas, classic Chinese television from the 1990s has a fragmented distribution history in the West. Official English-subtitled DVDs of the 1998 Journey to the West are exceptionally rare and often out of print. Most existing eng sub files come from dedicated fan translation teams (fansub groups) active in the early 2010s. journey to the west 1998 eng sub
