Best Way to Watch Anime (self.Blind)
submitted by Tuskanin91
I have (ROP) retinopathy of prematurity and I was wondering if there are any anime fans out there that are blind and visually impaired like me. What is your preferred way to watch anime? I preferred to watch anime in English because with sub you miss out on a lot of things when reading.

English dubbed is the best way to go, however VoiceOver can pick up on subtitles on Netflix, and you can also disable to voice and use a braille display to get the true reading subtitle experience

I will have to try that out.

Spoken Japanese isn't that hard. It has a fearsome reputation but that's mainly because the writing system is completely demented, but I'm excused writing, so that's OK. It's a lot easier than braille, fer chrissakes.

I made a post on this awhile back on Apple Vis: https://www.applevis.com/forum/reading-subtitles-aloud
Best best right now is to use Netflix or Hulu. I've heard decent things about Mac OS and VLC with SRT loaded subtitles and also iTunes, but my mac is too old to bother with those routes right now.

Me! I was just gonna make a post like this because I’ve loved anime since I was ten. I prefer dubs now because I can no longer read subtitles. I wish more anime had audio description.

Same, my dad was the one that got me into anime. What are your top 10 favorite anime you watched?

I have ROP also, and am  pretty much total.
for me I like my anime with a english dub, a few anime on netflix have a english dub with english A D.
I watched a anime movie that had both japanese and english dubs with audio  description. Which seemed rear to me, but I didn't conplain about it though either.
