Are the German subtitles dub-titles or direct translations of the English script?
I did check a bit of it, but I think it could be a direct translation. Reminds me of when Disney did the same thing with the English SDH subtitles on the 2003 UK DVD release of Kiki’s Delivery Service.
Okay, I finally compared the German regular and SDH subtitles. Turns out it was transcribed from the dub.
