Japanese subtitles on Crunchyroll — with romaji, vocabulary highlights, and in-context definitions.

wordLoot fetches and aligns Japanese subtitle tracks, then overlays them on the Crunchyroll player. Switch between Japanese, romaji, or both — right from the settings panel.
- Auto-matched subtitles per episode
- Romaji generation with timing alignment

"Clean UI that doesn't get in the way of the show. Yellow highlights match the vibe perfectly. Worth every penny."
