This has allowed fansubbing to transform from a slow and tedious task that generates a low quality preview of an attractive show to a cheap, easy, and quick way to create a high quality and high availability alternative to official DVD or Blu-ray releases.ĭue to the relatively low quality of television broadcasts (when compared with a DVD or Blu-ray release of the same show), fansubs done from television video sources do not have the high quality video of official releases.

However, with the advent of widespread high-speed Internet access, desktop video editing, DVD and Blu-ray Disc ripping, and TV capturing, the original process has largely been abandoned in favor of digital fansubbing ( digisubbing) and electronic distribution of the resulting digisubs. Fans could purchase fansubs at a modest cost or could contact clubs who would record the material on their own blank video cassettes.
A limited number of copies were made and then mailed out or distributed at local anime clubs. Such copies were notoriously low quality, time consuming to make, expensive to produce (over US$4000 in 1986) and difficult to find. The first distribution media of fansubbed material was VHS tapes. Some fans, generally those with some Japanese language experience, began producing amateur subtitled copies of new anime programs so that they could share them with their fellow fans who did not understand Japanese. This made it difficult for anime fans to obtain new titles. Relatively few titles were licensed for distribution outside of Japan. Fansubs originated during the explosion of anime production during the 1980s in Japan.
