One of the things I love about watching anime is that I don’t speak nor understand a word of Japanese, save for those very common phrases. So I am completely reliant on subtitled episodes and bugging iBon to find out what this word means and what that phrase means.
What makes things more interesting is actually watching 2 identical anime episodes which are subbed by 2 different subbers. The result can be quite hilarious as evidenced from the screen caps below.
For the record, i’m a big fan of Shinsen Subs. They go great work.

As mentioned, Rumbel is like:
