:smallbrain: watching japanese dubbed anime without subtitles
:bigbrain: watching japanese dubbed anime with japanese subtitles

@alyx@gameliberty.club japanese subtitles arent really a thing. At least I wouldnt know where to get them.

@igel
Shouldn't there be though? For the auditory impaired? There are after all English subtitles for English content.

@alyx@gameliberty.club my japanese reading of kanji is still pretty bad. There's an english site like https://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2Fjapanese%2F

but it's very limited and basically only a fan effort. The fact it requires fans to make these subs is telling though

@alyx@gameliberty.club ok tbh I mainly meant airing anime. No chance in hell youre gonna find japanese subs for these

@alyx@gameliberty.club btw you know how watching english series with english subtitles can help understand cuz you can recognize the words in the subtitles if you couldnt by jsut listening? Welp add kanji into the mix and youve got yourself more of a self study project than entertainment lol

Well, that's what I was thinking about. Even if you don't understand a word, I'm guessing maybe at least it could help you associate it with the kanji, so when you finally find out what it translates to, it would be easier remember it all.

@alyx@gameliberty.club that would require me to learn 2200 kanji and their meanings before learning japanese as a language which I will just give a big nope to.
