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.
It’s also torture if the subtitles don’t (reasonably) match for non-dubbed content.
This bothers me more with captioning for English language movies in English. They abbreviate a lot to make it easier to quickly read what is being said. Sometimes that makes perfect sense and is very useful. A lot of the time, they’re just cutting out details for no good reason.
But when the sub and the audio are two different languages that you understand it’s like hearing two voices and you have to silence one of them.
You would probably benefit from a soundbar with center channel speaker.
That helps a bit but doesn’t fix studios not remixing audio properly from the theater mix to home audio where the majority of people have basic stereo. No excuse since every physical format and online service supports multiple audio streams.
So I thought, but I’m still a remote jockey, constantly bouncing between gunshots, scene-setting music, and whispered dialogue.
Some of us just can’t hear properly.
