#NETFLIX SUBTITLER SERIES#

One of the things I like the most about Japanese series is that they tend to have few chapters (around 8-10) and they are perfect for when you want to see something but don’t want to get hooked on an endless series with a thousand seasons and chapters. But I can assure you that there are very good Japanese series. Unlike anime, which has many followers around the world, Japanese series are little known and perhaps initially do not arouse much the interest of the general public. If it wasn’t something that was going to interest a lot of people (like Lost or Games of Thrones), the television networks wouldn’t buy it. But now everyone can watch Japanese, Korean or many other countries series from almost anywhere in the world with Netflix. When I was a teenager and a fan of Japanese dramas, the idea of being able to watch Japanese dramas from your home was unthinkable. With the introduction of subtitles in different languages, Netflix made it easier for its viewers to watch not only series shot in their country of origin but in many other countries. It’s not as if this was not possible before, since television networks bought the rights to foreign series and dubbed them (hence for example part of the success of anime around the world) but now it’s easier and there is much more variety. Today it’s the most famous streaming company in the world, offering its services in more than 190 countries for only around 10 dollars (1,000 yen) per month and even producing its own series and movies.

Netflix started as a DVD rental company but knew how to have a vision of the future long before the others and already around 2007 it introduced its viewing service via live broadcasting. Internet has helped to make the world more communicated and we can get to know more and better other countries that were previously distant for us. Like the font and background color, you can make your window one of eight colors, or semi-transparent.Since the appearance of the internet, our lives have changed in many ways. In the image at the top of this article, the blue box is the “window” while the yellow box is the “background.” You can use one or both to help separate the subtitle text from the background. This also creates a background behind your text, but this one will always be a rectangle large enough to go around every line of text, with a little extra padding. This will only be as wide as each line of text. Once again, you can choose one of eight colors for this background, and make it semi-transparent.

This creates a solid color background around just the text that appears on screen. By default, Netflix uses a drop shadow, but you can also use a raised or depressed bevel effect, or choose Uniform for an outline around the entire text. Next to the shadow dropdown, there’s a color picker you can use to change the shadow or outline to one of the same eight colors you can use for your font. This lets you choose from a few effects to help separate text from the background. This is probably best for people with poor eyesight, but medium will work fine for most people. Large text takes up a huge chunk of the screen.

Text Size. You can choose between small, medium, and large text, but note that Netflix means it.

You can also make the text semi-transparent.

You can choose from eight pre-selected colors to display your text in. Next to the font drop down, there’s a color picker. This lets you choose between seven supported fonts, including a cursive font, a small caps font, and a font that looks dangerously close to Comic Sans.
