Memento VS asbplayer

I recommend not using English subtitles at all. Better no subs at all than English subs. If you really wanted to understand everything then id recommend a tool like memento that allows you to use yomichan to look up words as you go.

You can get Japanese subtitles from kitsunekko and if you want to use subs on online videos u can use the asbplayer extension or if you want to watch stuff locally you can use Memento it's basically MPV(Video Player) but with yomichan in it so you can look up words quickly and export them to Anki

Start consuming Japanese media. Look up everything you don't know and make flash cards for it in Anki. If you have access to subtitles you can do this with TV shows as well. TVer is good for this. Dramas which get put on TVer have subtitles and if you use something like Memento you can easily generate anki cards from the subtitles while you watch. But try to do this with a wide variety of media like TV Dramas, novels, anime, manga, online posts and news articles etc. The reason being is that you will come across a wide variety of vocabulary by doing this.

I found a way to upload your own subs while watching soft subs. For those who don't know, it's a site and/or extension called asbplayer. Basically you follow the steps on the github, install the enxtension and press ctrl+shift+x to load subtitles or use any present ones. I've tried it on Aniwave and YouTube and both work

If you look up definitions as you go, you'll know what's being said AND have the correct exact meaning. I recommend something like the Substital extension or asbplayer (which is better but slightly more difficult to download.)

asbplayer can inject subs like +subs and they are selectable with yomichan. It also has other useful features specifically for language learning like quickly generating anki cards.

If you are at a level where anime can help you make significant gains, I suggest using asbplayer, a browser extension which allows you to not only overlay subtitles on streamed video, but also to export certain words or phrases to Anki. if you don't know already there is a good subtitle bank at kitsunekko.net.

the asbplayer extension can do that,if you are watching movies/series online you're good to go but if you are watching videos locally you might have some problems because Chrome does not have HEVC support so some videos will play with only the audio, to fix that you can install Chromium here make sure to pick a build with the tags "Marmaduke" and "all-codecs" when you have it installed paste chrome://flags/#enable-clear-hevc-for-testing into the url bar and enable it, then follow this guide on how to setup and install asbplayer
