CrankCrunchyroll Users Report Use of Controversial 'Hard Subs' on Platform + New Video Player
Lvxferre [he/him]And people still wonder why I pirate my series and keep my favs all in my hard disk, instead of “y bother lol? just subscribe to crânchi rou lmao”. It’s because of this sort of shit, or rather enshittification; I don’t want to deal with it at all, I trust streaming services as much as I trust cable TV (zero).
And this topic is specially relevant for me because I’m currently translating anime. And I can only do it because the video and subtitles can be separated; I don’t speak Japanese, so gotta work based on another subtitle, plus nobody wants to watch stuff with superimposed layers of subtitles.

NineSwordsJP -> EN
EN -> DE, ES, PT, etc.
might be different for anime, but at least that’s how it works in the sector I’m involved with. It’s a lot easier to get a translator for English into language X than getting one for Y to X. If I’m correct with my assumption for the anime pipeline, this would make it even more important to get high-quality EN translations that stay true to the source, since many other language translations will be derived from that.
