Watch raw anime with English subtitles
Found a raw episode or a simulcast that hasn't been subbed yet? mimisubs translates the Japanese audio as it plays and overlays English subtitles on the video in real time — so you don't have to wait days for a fan-sub.
- Real-time English subs over raw, un-subbed episodes.
- Works on the open web — NicoVideo, ABEMA, YouTube, embedded players.
- No downloads, no .srt files, no waiting for a release.
Heads-up: DRM-locked services like Netflix and Disney+ block tab-audio capture in Chrome, so mimisubs can't subtitle those. It shines on the open web where official subs don't exist.

Common questions
How accurate is it on anime?
Good for clear single-speaker dialogue; rougher on overlapping voices, music-heavy scenes, and heavy slang. It uses OpenAI's Whisper model and is best treated as a comprehension aid, not a polished release.
