Fansubs have always been superior.
Remembers all the fan sub opening/ending Karaoke so I could actually understand songs too. 🥹
Steins Gate fansubs were amazing.
There are barely any real fansubs left. Most are Crunchyroll, Netflix or Funimation restyled and maybe retimed plus checked if they spent a lot of time on it.
And that's honestly all that's needed, the official translations are usually perfectly fine. The elaborate typesetting is what makes the fansubs so good.
My daughter got into anime through friends and I got some street creds by talking about how things used to be. Buying laserdiscs in Japan, subbing them and showing them at conventions. I subbed two episodes of some show I don't remember. Or shipping VHS tapes across continents. My daughter doesn't care, of course. But her friends were impressed. I fear that that was my last hurrah, though. I got nothing else.
That‘s how Crunchyroll itself started out if I remember correctly. Now look at it, completely unrecognizable. It‘s exemplary for how things have been progressing or rather regressing this century so far.
Agreed, It very noticeable how bad the subs are. I remember watching an the terminator anime and the subs were atrocious.

I've been an anime of crunchy roll with those auto ai subs and the main character is called Kun. Holy shit half the time it's censoring itself because it's trying to say something racist, but not always...
