LOLfansubs, also known as Failsubs, refers to a long-running internet trend of documenting and parodying unintentionally hilarious or poorly translated subtitles in fan-subbed anime. Dating back to the early 2000s era of digital piracy, these fails often occurred when amateur translators literalized foreign idioms, left internal notes in the final script, or stated the incredibly obvious. Iconic examples like Fate/Stay Night’s 'People die if they are killed' or Death Note’s 'All according to keikaku' (with a note explaining that keikaku means plan) became foundational pillars of anime meme culture. Today, the format is used to mock awkward official localizations or to create surreal, nonsensical dialogue over dramatic screenshots, celebrating the charmingly clunky history of fan-driven media distribution.
