I'm rewatching Spirited Away with English subs I grabbed off opensubtitles.org and I had already been confused by some phantom lines that didn't correspond to any spoken dialogue but this scene made it obvious what was happening- there's extra lines added in places where the characters are facing away from the camera michael-laugh

Either the subtitler was hallucinating or these originate from the dub. I grew up watching a VHS tape chomsky-yes-honey in Japanese with Finnish subtitles and I don't recall this scene having dialogue

    The title is a link to a video though it doesn't show up as such

    Pretty sure I've seen people embed videos in comments on hexbear before, it'd be nice if I knew how

        I tried halving this clip's resolution and uploading it as an image. It gave no error and looked like it was uploading but nothing happened even after multiple tries. The site's also been pretty spotty lately with plenty of 504 warnings so I'm not sure if it's due to that

        Edit: Tried again, still no dice. The little hexbear logo spins for a while but nothing happens. When you try to upload a file that's too big it just gives an error

      Ah, thanks, I didn't realize it wasn't a text post.

      Turns out the version I have only has Japanese and Russian audio. Both are silent during this scene.

        Apparently the English localisation was handled by Disney. Going ham on the script sounds like a very Disney thing to do
