Indeed. I think it was Commie's release of Steins;Gate that had karaoke fx for the opening theme that literally blue-screen people's computers, because of the font they used triggering something in Windows GDI, so they had to rerelease a toned-down version.

unanimated's typesetting guide is still up, if anyone wants to see the insane amount of :effort: bored college kids used to put into subtitles: https://unanimated.github.io/ts/index.htm

BTW, ASS subtitles can be used with HTML5 videos in the browser using https://github.com/libass/JavascriptSubtitlesOctopus

Yeah, one of my favourite examples from Commie is the treatment they gave to the opening for Lovestory (Koimonogatari) from the Monogatari series.

The visuals of the opening itself flit and transition between old 80s style shoujo animation and a more modern style, so they take the opportunity to also dynamically change the style of the subtitles between the old black-bordered piss-yellow ones of old DVDs and the sharper style of today.
