1. Cause#
Due to most of the old episodes being taken down from Bilibili, sometimes I want to revisit old episodes but there are no bullet comments and I can't continue watching without them. After searching in China, I found that many Baidu resources have expired and there is no systematic search solution. Recently, I have explored and found many better solutions, and I have also seen many people in need of such solutions. So I wrote this to share with everyone.
2. Download Methods#
Bilibili Database Download#
Disadvantage: Complicated operation, need to search for cid and then download and convert.
Source: All!
OneDrive Cloud Download#
Disadvantage: Limited resources, only a few anime.
Source: Historical bullet comments uploaded by experts on NGA.
Danmu Box Search and Download#
Disadvantage: Although it has many resources, it can only be accessed in China with the help of certain methods due to being a git page.
Source: Danmu Preservation Plan on Tieba.
If interested, you can try using a proxy or build your own.
DanDanPlay#
Disadvantage: Need to download the app, but using PotPlayer also requires downloading, but I don't like downloading, so it is a disadvantage.
3. Usage#
PotPlayer#
Convert the downloaded XML file to ASS file using this conversion link.
Parameter Options -> Subtitles -> Other -> Check Output this subtitle language when there are two or more subtitle languages.
Disadvantage: Need to download the video first.
Tampermonkey Script#
This script written by an expert supports importing bullet comments from Sakura Anime and some other websites, allowing for online viewing with the downloaded bullet comments. If you are not familiar with Tampermonkey, you can search for it yourself. If that doesn't work, you can use the PotPlayer solution.
Disadvantage: Supports very few websites, mostly anime websites, lacking resources for Japanese dramas and other content.
