NA Attack on Titan movie screening an English subtitle disaster

[AbbathTheGrim]

- we could say that fans who have been waiting to see the Attack on Titan film in San Francisco and apparently Columbus theater were trolled by fate when the film subtitles froze to one line that said:

"I've been waiting for this day!"

@FUNimation Have you been waiting for this day? Cuz I've been. #Waiting4ThisDay pic.twitter.com/dahE5q4Zk5

- instead of hardcoded subtitles like in past films, today’s subtitles are added digitally, so it is argued it could be a software problem

- there have been reports of other NA screening going without a hitch

for what it's worth, the subtitles at my Attack on Titan showing were perfect.

clearly the pope has blessed us and our animu screenings

- seem like subtitles got stuck for 20 or 30 minutes until the theater people stopped the movie and retarted it again, giving voucher for those not willing to watch it again

- In North America, the movie is slated to run at nearly 300 theaters.
