I remember the days of high quality fansubs by people who were just doing it for free because they loved it.

Those still exist and still give you a better consumer experience than these fucking dogshit streaming services.

    Yeah I still rely on fansubs for all my jdramas that don’t get official releases outside Japan (which is still most of them). The quality is instantly obvious compared to machine-generated crap.

    Cultural context and an understanding of tone and narrative coherence is critical for subtitles if you want to do justice to the quality of the writing in the original language.
