Danmaku subtitling

Danmaku or danmu (Japanese: 弾幕（だんまく）; simplified Chinese: 弹幕; traditional Chinese: 彈幕; pinyin: dàn mù; literally translated as "bullet curtain" and figuratively as "barrage") is a subtitle system in online video platforms that originates from Japan and popularised in Mainland China. Such system allows user to post moving comments onto a playing video that are synchronized to the video timeline. The comments are typically presented as “shooting” across the screen, resembling a barrage.
