I don't think that's the argument.

The idea is that, for any opinion, there is some person out there who holds it and is an obviously terrible person. So if you're in favor of some show, you can look up a person disparaging it who makes incredibly racist tweets, and if you hate it, you can find someone who loves the show being just as horrible.

It's moving away from argument about the show to argument about people's value as human beings, and it just makes everyone worse.

Like Twitter does.

Twitter makes people worse.

Meanwhile, even though I'm watching Super Cub, it makes me think of Kabu no Isaki every time, since that's also about someone feeling free after getting a Cub. It's just, you know.

A different kind of Super Cub.

Well, until the final chapter, where we see Isaki in a world more like ours, where he just has a Honda instead of a Piper.

Yeah I think both those examples are very good, black outline around light colour (inc. white) gets you out of trouble, and seems to be standard practice on what I watch

Not really. You just give the text a contrasting border and then no matter what the surrounding color, it'll either contrast with the text border or the text itself.

No surprise there.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou's by the same mangaka as Kabu no Isaki. No direct connection, but they share a lot of themes.

(I actually checked out Kabu first because it got mentioned in Fujimoto's author comments for Chainsaw Man. If you like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, I recommend checking it out.)

The problem is that a lot of services don't give you a text border option at all (e.g., Netflix, Youtube).

Yeah and if you don't have an outline it's pretty much impossible to do with just one colour, which is what I meant in my original post. (Please stop owning me)

A lot of services don't even have locational subs, so signs/on-screen text goes untranslated even if its critical to the current scene.

The PS4/PS5 Funimation app uses the system subtitle settings, and those do have a border option.

The way a lot of services treat their subtitles makes me long for the days of hard-encoded subs on the video, frankly

It's gonna be "fun" seeing how Netflix handles all those text-captioned Line stamps that aren't spoken in Godzilla SP

Hey, I see you did the thing!

There's more than enough cool shows for cool people, but Back Arrow is simply a chill show for chill people. That's the real difference.

Incidentally, they're releasing the English dub for BA and what I heard of it sounds nice enough. The voice actors seem to be having fun

i would say episode 16 was the opposite of chill, hype

dub thoughts i only liked Elsha and Bit, everyone else felt hit or miss from line to line or just fully awful like Kai. Shu also needs to keep his camp under control. A for effort on their Back Arrow pun, i will probably check it out again when Demyne's choir and some Lutoh characters make appearances.

learning the funi subs worked off my TV ones was great, but also taught me that my native tv closed captioning options arent as granular as id want

the difference between the normal and the large sized ones is massive, and the borders dont get as thick as I feel you'd want them to. still miles better than the defaults though

You got me there, 'cause I'm also a bit hyped after that, but on balance the series can be described as chill thus far.

I think chewing the scenery works for Shu rather well, since Sugita himself absolutely does some of that in Japanese too.

The English dub's choir is going to be either the most amusing thing or totally fall flat, so here's hoping it's the first of those.

was the yellow/white convention that internal monologue was yellow while speaking was white (or vice versa)? Feels like it's been applied with differing levels of success but was kinda neat. Some subs good some subs bad, some fansubs good some bad.
