This seems great. I hope this will include Japanese live action content too, which to me is really underrated around the world.
I just wish production companies would start including English subtitles with all their dramas and movies. I know it’s often considered an unnecessary expense so it’s not included in the contract, but I’m an English-speaking American and I love Japanese media. I usually have to wait for some kind stranger to do their own custom subtitling before I can enjoy the content, often years after the initial release.
I’m slowly trying to learn Japanese, but I doubt I’ll ever be good enough to follow some of that hilariously fast-paced dialogue I love so much…
