    Well that just sucks. So if you’re a die hard fan of [anime name] and happen to be European how would you find something close to the source material?

    I noticed that “creative liberty” first with the Dragonball series. I grew up watching the dubbed versions then one day discovered a little import store that sold tapes of the series with the original dialogue subtitled into English. There were a noticeable amount of differences in the story and it was slightly mind blowing to me at the time.

      It’s not exactly what you’re looking for but the website https://animelon.com lets you use English and Japanese subtitles at the same time. And you can look at definitions of individual words. It is probably only useful if you are beyond a beginner level though.

      I think using Japanese subtitles would be the way to go in general assuming you can read them but have trouble with listening.
