Fansubs: The People Who Cared Enough
Before Crunchyroll. Before Netflix. Before any corporation decided anime was profitable, there were fansubbers.Groups of people who learned Japanese, spent hundreds of hours translating, timing, typesetting and encoding episodes - for free. For love. Because they wanted their community to experience something beautiful.
They got sued for it. Called pirates. Criminals.
The same corporations that prosecuted them now sell the same content back to you at $7.99 a month.
