Abstract

In recent years, accessibility’s presence in the audiovisual field has increased, thanks to the growing social awareness, regulations and reference models. Subtitles for the deaf and hard-ofhearing, which allow deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers to access audiovisual products and have a similar experience to that of the hearing audience, is a huge challenge for the translator. We have to keep in mind not only the conventions regarding time and space that have always characterised subtitling, but the further restrictions inherent of SDH subtitles: characters’ identification, captions for the tone of voice, the noises made by a character and the description of music and sound effects. As far as Japanese animation is concerned, accessibility can be found in animation for children, while in animation for other audiences it is hardly seen. In this paper, academic literature on SDH subtitles and Japanese animation is expounded and an accessible version of three scenes from Attack on Titan is proposed, based on the UNE norm. Thus, it is demonstrated that animation not aimed at children can and should also have its accessible version.
