For those waiting on the arrival of Komi-San WA Komyushou Desu, known to English fans as Komi Can’t Communicate, on Netflix, the wait is finally over! However, not everything is as joyous as it seems, seeing as how many fans have already begun to criticize the streaming giant for its lack of subtitles.
Twitter user @AnimeFlyz was the one to first point out many of the missing subtitles, comparing Netflix’s version and an online fansubbing. Despite it being an important scene of the two main characters “talking” to each other, Netflix did not add the translations that were seen on screen and the blackboard.
