have any fansub groups ever put out machine translation of anime?
i know that in the WN scene there are groups at the bleeding edge of the pipeline who do, but usually that's an input to better translation later on and that informs the manga translations and then that gets turned into an ai recap video, but for anime it seems if machine translation is used at all it's internal to the groups. altho, perhaps the anime fansub scene is too small anymore, since pretty much all new shit on mal just uses the CR sources.

anime subs informing the manga tl? nowadays the manga is usually fan TL'd first well before an anime is even announced...

Webnovel->manga is what i was saying. ya manga is pretty much always fanTLed before anime exists. been that way for... like a decade now?
i'm sure plenty of manga with webnovel versions don't reference the WN TL at all. but it feels like there is some amount of information passing there.
