Attack on Titan - Subtitles (Patreon)
Content
EDIT: Thank you so much for helping me out! I have made a decision, and will go with the "Naruto solution" for the subtitles. Plus, as someone mentioned, it might also make things easier for me when it comes to copyright claims.
Hello everyone! I have been dealing with something the entire day today, and I could really use your help here. Sorry for the wall of text:
Since we started the second season, the subtitles over on Crunchyroll got really small compared to the first season and the OVA's. It's not an issue when we are watching the episodes on our television, but I can barely read them when I am editing, and therefore it stands to reason that the people watching our videos probably can't see them very well either. Because of that I decided to switch from Crunchyroll to Wakanim (the only other website with AoT we can access here in Denmark) - but the subtitles are only slightly bigger there. So now I am trying something different, where I enlarge the episode so the subtitles are bigger, and then I crop the top, bottom, and the sides, so the whole thing is still the same size as usual - for the sake of continuity, but also so the episode won't end up blocking us and our reactions. I have attached pictures that show the differences between the original episode size, the enlarged/cropped version, and then there's also the thing I did with the Naruto reactions, where I only enlarged the bottom (subtitle) part of the episode.
I really want this to be the best viewing experience possible for you all, but there are no perfect options as far as I can see. So it's either the whole picture but with small and almost unreadable subtitles, a cropped picture but with bigger and more readable subtitles, OR the "Naruto solution" - What do you guys prefer? Or do you have any suggestions? It could of course also just be me who is overthinking the whole thing, and making it into a way bigger problem than what it actually is.. Let me know in the comments 😅
We can't watch it on Hulu, Netflix or Amazon Prime, and we can't buy the series online on iTunes store or anything like that either. I have thought about buying it on DVD or Blu-Ray, but the computer I am editing on doesn't have a disc drive, so for right now that wouldn't be a solution either. Plus, it would most likely take a while before we received them in the mail.
I was also planning on posting the early reaction to S02E01 today, but because of all of the stuff I mentioned above, it has been delayed till tomorrow.
Thank you so much for all of your support as usual!
We really wouldn't be able to do any of this without you 💜
