I watched ozr’s release and it was just fine

You know what, I do vaguely recall it being difficult to follow season 2’s CR subtitles. At the time, I think I chalked it up to being due to the source dialog being convoluted.

I only watch subbed. I didn’t think the subs were all that fast. Kumo desu ga, nani ka’s subtitles were flying past at some point. (especially during the end credit song) Re: Zero’s were slow by comparison. I never had a problem following them.

Subs are usually on screen for as long as people are saying the words. When they talk quickly they go by quickly. Also it just depends? There’s a bunch of different Re:Zero subs a particular legal one standing out as being awful (good ol Crunchyroll). You probably just read slowly, you’ll speed up with practice

I’d grab OZR’s release official subs are dogshit and often have bad timing, especially for older stuff
