Sites like Migaku allow you to remove closed captioning from jp subtitles. So, when you’re watching something with jp subs and they display in parenthesis the character talking, the sound effects, furigana etc., Migaku can remove it for you, which is great as they can definitely be a distraction. I don’t know about you, but when I’m watching something in any language with subtitles, I don’t want there to be a line in brackets telling me every time a door closes or a bird is chirping, I find it annoying. Migaku is great for removing this, but what if you aren’t paying for Migaku and want a free way of doing the exact same thing? Well today I’ve been able to figure it out, and want to share it with y’all:
1: Select the subtitle file (usually an srt file) you want to remove parenthesis from, and open it with notepad
2: Select all the text
3: Paste it into any site that will run a replace operation, such as [https://coding.tools/regex-replace](https://coding.tools/regex-replace)
4: Run the following expression: \[（(\]\[\^）)\\n\]\*\[）)\]
5: Copy the new text and replace the old text with it
6: Save the file as an srt file, and rename it if you so wish
And that’s that. Let me know if you’ve any issues and I’ll help you.

reddit fucked the formatting. Surround it in “backticks“ to format it correctly.
