Do u know any free streaming website ( movies, dramas or cartoons wether japanese or not ) that provides japanese subs ?
Hello! Sorry this has taken a little while c:
I don’t personally watch a lot of TV at all (although I really know I should for immersion purposes!), so it took me a bit of digging, but I think I might’ve found some sites of interest to you - I only hope you didn’t know of all of them beforehand c;
AniMelon has a bunch of different anime (duh) and you can choose to have subs all/only in Japanese, but you can also view them in romaji and English at the same time! There’s also a built in hover dictionary. Seems super well thought out. I can’t figure out how frequently it is updated, and they definitely do not have all episodes of everything even though most of the anime are marked as ‘finished’. But hey, if you’re planning to just use it for practice and less to follow a story, that doesn’t matter!
ANJSub appears to have a smaller selection that AniMelon, but they also have a few dramas available, and a few animated movies listed! The main difference between this and AniMelon is that they do not offer romaji - instead, you can toggle furigana on the Japanese subs! They also provide simultaneous English subtitles if desired.
DaiWEEB appears to be the only site out of these that require users to sign up to view more than the first episode of any series, but you only need a username and a password - entering an email is optional and only used if you don’t want to be locked out of your account if you lose your password. On this site, users can also suggest changes and corrections to subtitles. Their built in dictionary is less smooth (it requires you to highlight a word rather than just click on it, but works fine as long as you pause the video.
Although it’s not free, I’d like to give a shoutout to the anime and other Japanese series/movies on Netflix - most of those offer Japanese subtitles, too! No furigana or English subs available simultaneously though, of course.
I hope this helps c: If anybody has anything to add, please, leave a comment!
