AnimeVocab vs asbplayer
asbplayeris the immersion community's browser miner: sync fan subtitle files, screenshot+audio+sentence into Anki, bolt on Yomitan. AnimeVocab is not a miner — it pushes one romaji-first word per line with built-in SRS on Crunchyroll, Netflix, and YouTube, including when JP subtitle text is missing.
Read Japanese subs and want rich Anki sentence cards? asbplayer (or desktop SubMiner). Month-zero or Crunchyroll without JP subs? AnimeVocab first — graduate to miners once kana clicks.

What asbplayer assumes
You maintain Anki, find or align Japanese `.srt` files, and click tokens with Yomitan. Power users love the control. Setup per show is real work — see Kitsunekko subtitle workflow and Jimaku vs Listening Mode.
