Short, commonly known phrases like that usually are subtitled, and are deliberately left untranslated. Your example does not apply to the argument made in the original post, which states that all dialog in any language should be translated into the subtitle language.

A core principle of subtitling is to ensure the subtitles give the viewer enough time to look at the screen, instead looking down the entire time. Transcribing text most viewers wouldn’t understand goes against that. I’ll reiterate, rarely would there be important information in untranslated dialog.

Then why wouldn’t the creator subtitle it onscreen? Who would make something with important dialog spoken in another language and not translate it?

I never understand this complaint. If there’s foreign dialog in a film or TV show that the creator consciously decided not to translate, there’s no practical reason to include a translation in the subtitles other than, “It would be cool to know what that guy said.”

I can’t think of any practical benefits of the fancy .ASS style apart from the ability to include translations of trivial background dialog and onscreen text, but I find those use-cases superfluous and distracting, and they also aren’t specific to anime.

Purely out of my own personal interest, I’d like to know why you view the Netflix style as “unsuitable for anime”. I get if you’re evaluating it solely from a cultural standpoint (given the history of fansubbing), but …

“Closed captions” (CC; also sometimes SDH) are an alternative option that include sound effects and speaker IDs, e.g., “[Carol laughs]”. These are usually based on dubbed audio to ensure non-hearing viewers get the same experience as hearing viewers. (2/3)

“Subtitles” refers to a dialog-only timed text format. Translated subtitles tend to be based on a direct translation of the original audio, as they do not include any extra information and do not have as many constrictions as dubbing. (1/3)

i think this is mostly a side effect of people uploading their unedited scripts to the subtitles menu and not checking for any word changes
