Time to cancel my Crunchyroll subscription. Oh wait I don't have one, I simply torrent my series.

Seriously now. The anime fansubbing scene is one that makes me genuinely happy. It shows me there are plenty amateurs out there that are as good or better than plenty professionals like me.

Sadly the german fansubbing scene basically evaporated when simulcast became a thing. 15 years ago you got some amazing subs, with signs translated (even when moving through the screen) and cultural information shown when it was needed to understand a scene or joke
