Rather fond of watching the anime fansub scene.

Back in the bad old days, that was the only way to watch shows. Today, almost all shows are subbed at release by Western platforms—for those who are left the focus has shifted to doing it for its own sake, and the results are remarkable. Groups like GJM are doing extremely sophisticated and artful work with motion tracking, graphics editing, masking, and so on, to produce target-language imagery that is visually indistinguishable from the original or matches its style.
