I'm by no means a native level Japanese speaker but I'm frequently surprised at how off Japanese-English subtitles can be.

I was watching the Netflix show The Empress with Chinese subtitles that did a pretty good job translating the German. I switched to English subs for one episode and couldn't stop telling the people I was watching with "That's not what he said! That's completely different!"

Oh weird! I wonder why that is. I wonder if they just put more effort into translating to Chinese? Very curious/interesting.
