I have the DVDs of The Orphans of Simitra in which the only easily-found soft subtitles are in Arabic. I thought I can get the gist of the show by reading the source material (book) first then watch the show without subs.

    Yes, especially in the beginning when you have to look up multiple words every few seconds. You can’t really focus on the story with all the interruptions and you’re going to miss a lot of context that can’t just be easily translated with a dictionary so if you already know the context and the story you’ll have a much easier time.
