    It’s not even like I can’t hear or anything. It’s just sound mixing is terrible.

    If a motherfucker could properly mix audio I wouldn’t need them.

    If I wouldn’t have to turn the volume ALL THE WAY UP followed by ALL THE WAY DOWN because your show/movie can’t decide if we’re whispering or blowing the planet up every ten seconds, I wouldn’t need them.

      They often claim you need a proper audio setup.

      I have an expensive (be it old) surround sound setup. Marvel and many other modern movies suck absolute arse. Having to pause and fiddle with volume going from a barely audible conversation to deafening noise in a single scene.

      Fuck that noise, audio seems optimized for smartphone speakers nowadays.

      Sometimes crunchyroll will play the closed captions on the closed captions track. In those cases, you have to turn subtitles off at the TV level for it to turn off, since there’s no option on crunchyroll for it.

    This is torture if the subtitles don’t match.

    I have a soft spot for dubbed anime and always have, but in pretty much every case, the subtitles are not a transcript of the dub, they’re a translation of the original Japanese.

    As a result, the feeling you get trying to watch that is not unlike going up a set of stairs and miscounting, but for every sentence.

      I’m with you on that. Anime has to have dubtitles if I’m putting them on there. Thankfully you can find those pretty easily these days if you need to.

      It’s a vicious circle, these past twenty years. Before then, movie makers made effort to ensure dialog could be heard and understood. There’s a line in Casino Royal that James mumbles, “He’s a bloody idiot, then”, but you can still understand him, it’s meant to be mumbled, Eva Greene asks “What?”, but he’s understandable when he’s acting like he’s mumbling. They wouldn’t even make him unintelligible for a line that was meant to be unintelligible.

      Without subtitles, when I don’t have them for whatever reason, sometimes I need to rewind, and turn up the volume to catch a single word the actor mumbled. Sometimes, I never hear what they said, and I just move on. Was that important? I don’t know.

      We started watching with subtitles because we couldn’t hear what the actors are saying.

      “Big explosions go boom, everyone likes loud music.”

      Actors don’t need to speak clearly, which adds “atmosphere” or whatever, because everyone is watching with subtitles.
