We get asked this question. So, here’s our response.

@HIDIVEofficial Ok, but do you "localize?" Because I'll support AI before I ever support that shit.

@HIDIVEofficial Well, with only 3 titles every season that wouldn't represent too much work to do for a human, unlike CR which snaps like 80% of the seasonal line-up. BTW, aren't you salty you couldn't afford the ONK license?

@HIDIVEofficial hey, can you fix how your subtitles look. can you please add a background + opacity settings to it. it's so hard to read specially if the anime also has white or red background on it.

@HIDIVEofficial This seems a bit disingenuous. There's no evidence that the other company obliquely referenced here is using AI for there translations, but this is essentially HIDIVE validating this (likely false) assertion.

@HIDIVEofficial Ok that's good, thanks for sharing 👍 But here's another question ❓ How the heck did you guys let Crunchyroll get one over on you guys and get the third season of a show you already had two seasons of that was popular on your platform first. CR's monopoly just continues🤷🤦

@HIDIVEofficial Now you just need to get more licenses each season, because I’d rather watch on HiDive and marketplace competition is important. I make sure to regularly by BRs from Sentai as well as subscribing to HiDive to support you. 👍

@HIDIVEofficial cool, can you for the love of god please let me change the style of the subs? Yellow and near the center of the screen is killing me. I have to go into the HTML editor every episode and change it. Really pissing me off.

@HIDIVEofficial Hey, so, don't fall for this! This is bullshit. Your Spanish subtitles for Oshi No Ko were Google Translated. No post-editing, no QC, just Google Translated incoherent slop. Don't get all morally superior because English subs are the standard. And don't lie to costumer's faces.

@HIDIVEofficial More power to using humans, now can you use more humans for dubs instead of the same few VA's? And fix the website so it isn't complete garbage?

@HIDIVEofficial If Hidive Did it lose its license for Oshi no ko? If so, what was the reason?

@HIDIVEofficial Lmaoo for the two new titles we get every season... 😂 The real question you should be answering is, when will your service stop being so shit?

@HIDIVEofficial Any chance you get get the publishers to all quit with this exclusive license thing, this will allow platforms to compete on quality of service and drop this anti-user crap like censorship, ai slop subs, injection of politics, dropping feature, paying to view ads, etc.

@HIDIVEofficial The good thing about AI subtitles, is that it can/should translate word by word without political bias, too much lolcalizers keep implanting their beliefs while translating animes and stuff.

@HIDIVEofficial Why did you buy the international rights of papiri koumei including France when it’s impossible to accès to your service from France nor you have a french service ?

@HIDIVEofficial I’m sad to hear that y’all lost the rights to season 3 of oshi no ko because your subtitles are always correct and on time but thankfully y’all still have a excellent selection of anime to watch. Keep up the great work!❤️

@HIDIVEofficial Love the response and I highly appreciate this 🙏🏼

@HIDIVEofficial OK. Follow up question: do you use AI for anything at all? Having the modifier "for subtitles" leaves it open for interpretation. Please be more clear.

@HIDIVEofficial Thank you HI Dive!

@HIDIVEofficial OK can I ask a Question as well HiDive can you fix the App on Xbox to be usable u know where I can see new releases and dont have to guess what is or isn't coming out

@HIDIVEofficial Hey @HIDIVEofficial could you please make your UI better. Need it to do better tracking at what series has been watched and which episodes I have stopped at. Because right now it feels basically nonexistent. And that way I can sort between watched and unwatched. That would great

@HIDIVEofficial I am serious when I say this learn Japanese enough to understand the nuances, so you won't have to rely on the shit subs

@HIDIVEofficial Just keep them honest and don't put politics in there and all is good.

@HIDIVEofficial Can you put close captions back on for dubs like you had before you updated the app

@HIDIVEofficial What's the point of having good captions if you don't have Nobody to read them 🤔😂

@HIDIVEofficial I've enjoyed my HiDive subscription for a couple of years now. Keep up the good work folks

@HIDIVEofficial Actually AI is preferable to the garbage localiser/translators we've seen so far

@HIDIVEofficial I appreciate that but can we stop with the UGLY ASS YELLOW SUBTITLES PLEASE

@HIDIVEofficial Okay, fire the activists tho

@HIDIVEofficial Good, now get rid of yellow subs.

@HIDIVEofficial Amazing reply

@HIDIVEofficial That's a really good response. (and we all know the service name that was redacted 😅)

@HIDIVEofficial Very good.

@HIDIVEofficial Are you planning on improving your apps?

@HIDIVEofficial I hope you guys get all the anime moving forward!

@HIDIVEofficial You don't get much content to translate though?
