Zikten 10/13/25 11:01:15 AM #3:	Yea I still haven't watched the premier of My Hero Academia. On launch night it initially came out with no subs. Then they were there but they aren't set right. The subs often aren't on screen the same time people are talking and it's annoying and unpleasant to try to watch it like that so I turned it off a few minutes in and will just wait for the dub. Which is like another week from now. Apparently they switched to a new subtitle system and it sucks. I will only watch dubs on there now. <cite>Zikten posted [p:986712585] in Crunchyrol...

Jupiter 10/13/25 1:21:37 PM #29:	I actually think Crunchyroll improved vastly since Funimation went away. In the past, I thought Crunchyroll was crap and that Funimation was way better even with its flaws. Especially with how Crunchyroll used to count different languages as different seasons. So a 1 season show would have something like 4-5 different "seasons" listed just because they were different dubbed languages. They don't do that crap anymore. Although the AI subtitles is annoying. Not all shows have it though. I think it's just if the show doesn't have real subtitles, then AI is added in its place. --- Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/kid_prodigy23 <cite>Jupiter posted [p:986713802] in Crunchyrol...

I wish they were bigger and better to actually give CR some competition, but it looks like they're closer to dying outright than they are to catching up.
