Asadora Resource
Here's a resource about where to find asadoras and English subtitles for them.
Some notes before clicking or searching:
- My first recommendation is to download the VLC media player. Look up a tutorial on how to use subtitles with VLC.
- https://www.raredoramas.com/tag/*asadora - a great resource for older J-dramas, but some links are buggy. See my comment below ⬇️
- nyaa.si - a public torrent downloader. This comes with various issues, such as the torrent not being seeded. I will not link directly to these torrents, just search them up with either the English title or Japanese title as noted.
- avistaz.to - another torrent downloader but you'll need an invite to register. You'll also need to seed back to retain your account so keep that in mind.
- https://www.d-addicts.com/forums/ - your best friend for asadora subtitles, but you will need to create an account to download them. Please note that if you download a .rar file that you'll need to convert it to .srt or .ass to actually use it.
- https://ecotv-subs.livejournal.com/tag/asadora - to gain access, you will need to have a live journal account and join their community.
- https://www.drama-otaku.com/ - here you can download some asadoras and subtitles. Registration required and applications are typically open at the beginning of each month. Check often so you don't miss the date and don't forget to read the rules!
