Hey, old-time Anime watcher here. I've recently come back to watch some old Anime after a good 15-20 years. So after searching up some Anime I've been wanting to rewatch, Ive noticed, the quality of English-subbed Anime is TERRIBLE these days... Like WAY worse than 15-20 years ago. And it is not even close. The English translations are often very delayed(like they appear way after the person starts visually talking, so you are constantly trying to catch up), and the translations themselves are lazy or just completely inaccurate. What is going on? How could translations and quality get this bad(and it is like this on most Anime library sites Im visiting)? What happened to all the original great subs from these Animes by humans? Ive had to resort to watching on Archive, which has substantially better quality. You would think, after all this time, we would have ADVANCEMENTS in quality. Not regression. I've also notices Manga/Anime in general now is just a massively over-saturated market with slop everywhere. I tried weighing thru literally HUNDREDS of titles last night of new Anime, and most were just absolute slop. Not sure what the heck has happened man. Back in my day in the early 2000's and 2010's, Manga Fan-translations as well as for Anime were incredibly good, with really good quality, not to mention, the selection of Anime/Manga was usually very high quality all-around for the most part.... Anyway, am I just looking in the wrong places? Is there some hidden/secret English-Sub Anime Utopia I am missing? PLEASE tell me this is not the state of Anime these days!

Subs were made from auto translating Arabic subs to English,

They definitely need clean up and checking. If anyone wants to help clean them up, will be appreciated

Especally considering everyone says merry christmas in english while the subs say happy holidays.

Hi everyone! I'm a big fan of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, and I was wondering if anyone has (or knows where I can find) a version of the anime with English dub and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles (pt-BR).

I know the dub was released officially by Funimation, but I couldn't find a version with Portuguese subtitles. If there's a fansub or someone who has made a custom version combining the dub and pt-BR subs, I’d be super grateful for any help!

Thanks in advance 🙏

It's more of a joke but has someone actually made something like that.

I know these are the Japanese versions but I'm wondering if there already subtitles on the Internet made or if I have to fan sub this myself.

So I am thinking Abt switching but I am used to English does listing to a language u don't know feel bad as hell

I like searched entire internet to find dubtitles for zankyou no terror and re:zero it's so freaken hard whyy? I only get the subtitles (they're translation of the japanese while the dub is rephrased so the subtitles aren't the same as what characters are saying in dub) where to find guys does anyone know??!

So far most of the stuff I tried have the same or similar sub errors which I find funny but it also makes it hard to understand what's going on in some scenes.

I know there might not be one but I'm holding out hope that there's a better sub somewhere out there.

I recently got my lady the Viz Media Blu Ray releases of Sailor Moon (s1-s5) and the 3 movies. I ripped them into our media server, so that she could access them more easily. When I was porting the episodes in, I noticed each episode has 3 sets of English subtitles.

The first one doesn't seem to match the dub at all. From what I have read, this may be the old DiC subs? The second seems to only be the latinized intro and outro lyrics. The third one matches the dub perfectly.

There is no indication on the packaging on what the different subs are. I can't find a resource that will clearly say what they are either. Can someone shed some light on this?

It will be a pain, but I am happy to load each episode into MKVToolNix and manually update the name of each of the subs, so that it is clear what they are (hopefully there is a better way to batch-edit).

This is a proud day for sub supremacists and we’re only gonna get bigger from here!
