Okay so just to sum up recent events on the US Right:

• Trump starts a contract with Peter Thiel's Palantir company to create a database of ALL INFORMATION on EVERY LIVING AMERICAN

• Its revealed Stephen Miller and Elon Musk have had a very massive fight, supposedly because Elon Musk is sleeping with Miller's wife

• Trump ousts Elon from the administration, after over five months of being besties. Leaves with Stephen Miller's wife, who he just hired at one of his companies (!?)

• Elon starts saying the Big Beautiful Bill sucks

• A GOP Representative reveals that most of them didnt actually get to read the Big Beautiful Bill, GOP leadership basically made them rubber stamp it and they are pissed to find out it makes them all look horrible. A lot of them are now discussing a shakeup in GOP leadership.

• Trump says Elon has "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (🤮)

• Elon escalates massively, stating that Trump is in the Epstein files and THATS why they havent released them yet

• This comes right as Alex Jones loses a massive chunk of his audience because he's endorsing Trump's Palantir contract, and his fans are basically all very concerned about their privacy. They want a new conspiracy to follow and they just got one

• Trump starts threatening Elon's government contracts

• Ian Miles Cheong calls for Trump to be impeached immediately, and for JD Vance to become President. Elon Musk quote retweets this with "Yes"

• JD Vance was mentored by Peter Thiel

• Steve Bannon takes to Fox calling for the immediate deportation of Musk, and making SpaceX a public company

Hello, I hope you are doing well!

I saw your recent post about Thunderbolt Fantasy and was surprised to see you were there at ACen as well to see the movie! It really was awesome and such a joy to experience. I also saw that it seems you know a lot about Pili, since you said the show brought you back into it?

I'll be frank, I want to get into Pili productions because honestly? I fell in love with the show and this opened up a whole new world for me. But I only understand English sadly and I know they have media going all the way back to the 80s which is the start of it all.

My question, if you don't mind answering or at least guiding in the right direction, is how can I get into it as well? Are there translated archives somewhere? Do I have to start all the way in the beginning? I would greatly appreciate any help you can give, I wanna experience and understand way more Pili, it's gonna become a new obsession easily and I have the willpower to put in the hours!!!

Thank you so much for your time!

Hi there, thanks for your question! I did go to ACen this year to see Pili and the Thunderbolt Fantasy movie, it was a lot of fun!

I've sort of answered this before, but I'm happy to do it again. I should note that there are thousands of episodes of Pili and only a few hundred are actually translated. However Pili episodes run an hour or more so it's still a lot of content even when only a fraction of it has been translated.

I will provide links to every translated season in the order you should watch them in.

Pili Fantasy: War of Dragons

This is a remake of a very early season of Pili and is a good introduction to three of the main characters, Su Huan Jen, Ye Xiao Chai and Yi Ye Shu, as well as a couple other characters who will show up in the next seasons I list. There are sequels to this season (Doom of Dragons 1 & 2 and Broken World) but none are translated so skip them for now.

It was on netflix but now you can only watch the subbed version here

2. Legend of the Sacred Stone

Old Pili movie that will help you familiarize yourself with more characters.

15-year-old-Ini tried so hard to get hold of this movie back then, and here it is now free on the internet archive :') yaaaay

3. Pili Totem

Studio886 on youtube was given the rights to translate early Pili seasons into English and other languages. Even though they are older seasons I was actually blown away by how good they are. They kind of drop you in the middle of an on-going plot so give it a couple episodes to understand what's happening.

Basically someone is going around killing the Seven Stars and Su Huan-Jen and the others are trying to figure out who and they fall into a conspiracy trap along the way.

4. Pili Anomalous: The Dragon Domination

The next few seasons are continuations of the previous season

In Dragon Domination allegiances are divided as Su Huan Jen and Yi Ye Shu are incapacitated, and the Seven Star Lord Tiance Zhenlong fights Devildom for the control over the Central Plains.

5. Pili Sealed Spirits Island

Tiance Zhenlong is finally defeated and the prisoners of Sealed Spirits Island are released. Su Huan Jen returns?! Not a huge fan of the Demon Buddha plot tbh but still a good watch!

6. Pili Military Conflagration

The girlsdemons are fightinggg. MASSIVE DRAMA in this season, I love it. It wraps up some conflicts and starts some more.

Please note that the AI subtitles get a little sus in this season, but if you have been paying attention to the plot and characters it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

7. Pili Nine Kings

I have not watched this season yet because for some reason Studio886 skipped two seasons after Military Conflagration.

8. Pili : The Blood Mark of She City (?)

Not sure about that title's translation... but I have not watched this yet either. I really want to though because there are vampires 👀 This season is currently being uploaded to YouTube.

9. Demigod: The Legend Begins

The last piece of translated Pili media is a movie about Su Huan Jen released just a few years ago. If you buy the dvd it has english subs on it. You can find it Nyaa and the subs in the comments, but I'm going to choose not to link it.

If you love Pili please support them by buying their dvds and merch! You can buy from books.tw they ship internationally!

I know this was a long post (sorry!) but thanks again for asking and happy watching!

Thunderbolt Fantasy Finale Red Carpet Photos

Here are photos from the red carpet event at Anime Central, before the movie. I'm crediting the Pili staff as their names were given in the program.

First, we have:

Osmond Pi Ting, who is one of the newer puppeteers and also does cosplay

the Demon Lord puppet

senior puppeteer Yu-Che Hsieh

the Bái Lián puppet

marketing director Jen-Jia Huang

a chibi puppet of another Pili character

producer Chiu Yun

another chibi I don't know

Here are the puppeteers and the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord comes over to menace the crowd, and we see the backs of the heads of cosplayers of Shāng Bù Huàn and Làng Wū Yáo.

Osmond invites the cosplayers up to the red carpet.

All three cosplayers pose for the crowd. The chibi Pili puppets get some love.

My autographed poster, from after the movie.

Stickers of Shāng Bù Huàn, Làng Wū Yáo, Lǐn Xuě Yā, and Mù Tiān Mìng in modern clothes. These were given away at the Pili booth.

Finally, some pictures of the puppets on display at the booth.
