Asian subtitles for TV and Movies
Thought I'd repost this here:
My wife is Japanese and speaks English well but still has a hard time following many movies and TV shows because of the rapid slang and character speech.
There are websites now that have subtitles you can download in many languages for tons of movies and TV shows.
They are not professionally produced but written by fans.
I've found Japanese subtitles for Game of Thrones, The Crown, Breaking Bad, Mad Men and others.
One catch is that you have to have a digital file of the show and sometimes have to adjust the sync but it works well once that's done.
Often the the written subtitle dialogue seems different to me from the English line but she says it's correct and captures the meaning well in Japanese.
If you're interested check out:

To adjust the sync of the subtitles:

Once you have that you simply select the subtitle file in VLC or some other video player and it appears on the screen as the video plays.
I also use Plex, a free application that allows videos from your computer to be played on your smart TV screen, along with the subtitles of course.
