@EposVox Still worth paying for anime, just because the margins are so thin and the people making it are doing it for peanuts. But for anime, downloads are your best bet because, even if you watch dubs, subtitles for the songs and signs are so good out there, and can't be used with streaming services. Animated, dynamic subs that really can change the mood of a scene, moods that are lost with static, fixed subs.
For example, 君の名は。/your name.. There's a scene where a girl opens her hand to reveal something a boy wrote on it. With the official subs, it puts the whole thing on the bottom of the screen, and does it early. Zero emotional impact. With the fan subs, we see it spell out as she sees it. It's a pivotal moment in the film that is lost with the official subs, and you need this fan sub, even with the dub, to get the full effect of what the director intended, what the Japanese audience gets.
