I was thinking of getting this Roku, at the moment the most advanced content I'd be watching is h265 1080p.

The person you were replying to was talking about complex subtitle formats. All Roku models only support .srt style subtitles, whereas a lot of anime has .ass/.ssa subtitles encoded and bluray/dvd rips have image-based formats like PGS. Those more advanced/complex formats can't be played by the Roku directly, so your server needs to transcode the video to burn the subtitles in.

TBH, most content people watch is in 1080p
