I've been having a dose of $B%9%?%8%*%8%V%j(B the last few days. I went
to Pom Poko yesterday (1994). The subtitling seemed excellent. (I
kept forgetting to read them when I was following the spoken dialogue
OK, then when I got to a patch I couldn't handle, the subtitles had
gone before I had time to switch to them.)

Saw $B$H$J$j$N%H%H%m(B a week or two back on DVD. The bloody subtitles
assume you are deaf, and keep tossing in <laughing sound>, <chuckles>,
<train approaching noise>, etc.
