Fansubs |
A fansub (ファンサブ, fan sabu) is a fan-made production of translated text subtitles synchronized with foreign audio-dialogue in a television episode or film. Fansubs exist due to the inaccessibility of home video releases of foreign properties in certain parts of the world, thus fans sometimes resort to obtaining it through other means due to the lack of legal alternatives.
This was mostly done in the 80s/90s with VCR equipment, as Japanese home video collections of shows were limited, expensive, and often inaccessible to foreign fans. However this issue has been rendered moot due to the internet today that has allowed fansubbing to be done entirely through online software and editing, as well as ease of obtainment of said material.
Many entries in the Kamen Rider Series, such as episodes and films, have been fan-subbed by various groups so that anyone is able to enjoy them. This page will serve as a list of the fansub groups, and links to their sites.
Please keep in mind that it is against FANDOM policies to link directly to torrents, downloads, or uploads to copyrighted material unless made official from sources such as Crunchyroll, Toei's Youtube channel etc.
We only use fansubs out of a necessity to obtain information from content within the episodes and films, mostly for the purpose of educating people about the subject of Kamen Rider and raws for screen capture images. Whenever possible, if an official English release does happen, we try to encourage fans to purchase it to support the creators of the content and future releases.
