roughly 40 Mbps HEVC bitstream for each version of the movie. Spooky.
When A-ko's film was scanned, it was done at 4K in the hopes in the future a 4K disc could be done & now is the time!
First... Project A-ko is here dubbed & subbed, in 4K w/ HDR, in both 16:9 & 4:3.
This is a gorgeous 4K remaster & the HDR pops. (Screenshots tonemapped to SDR.)

So while we have seen some shows on Crunchyroll get updated with better subtitles, I would like to remind everyone that many shows haven't. I also reached out to some insiders, and so far there has been no clear internal communication about changing course back to comprehensive typesetting either.

Daiz' article is great, albeit not so accessible to someone uneducated about the extensive use of on-screen text in anime.
I do strongly disagree with the hardsub take. There are enough code monkeys and subtitling formats to have a CDN that distributes subtitles based on the client capabilities.

With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

Dynit loosing the rights to Demon Slayer was not on my bingo card. I guess other European distributors are also affected.

Anime Factory release of Cowboy Bebop has soft-sub overlays for next episode previews. It's quite low effort in terms of styling, but still something.

So I'm trying to replace some old screenshots of typesetting on Crunchyroll with fresh ones, only to find out that the back catalog entries I'm looking for have had their subtitles updated to the new no-typesetting style. So much for Crunchyroll "fixing" the issue, they're blowing full steam ahead

Lucca Comics Dynit panel is in 1 week. Let's see if they have managed to level off that downspiraling trend of the last 3 years. Last year panel let down everyone and gave a gloomy outlook for the company.

So I just found the company who actually authored the discs, Diversified Video Solutions… and they’re based in the US, but clearly state they were working with Crunchyroll GmbH. Now I’m even more confused.

Why did Crunchyroll’s subtitles just get worse?
A small change to operations may undermine a key differentiator for the anime streamer.

I'm writing an article on the new Crunchyroll subtitling pipeline, and at this point I'd really like to get in touch with someone who does subtitle work for CR and has had to deal with said pipeline already to confirm my findings. DMs are open, you can be an anonymous source. Please spread the word!

Now how we can tell that this is Crunchyroll directly rather than yet another inept 3rd party subtitle vendor? Well, people have spotted known CR freelancers in the subtitle credits and CCC's website lists Crunchyroll as a user.
(Btw, CCC also advertises "built-in integrations with AI services"...)

Update on this: more fall seasons are starting to roll out on Crunchyroll, and they all seem to be using Closed Caption Converter. It's hard to overstate how dumb this is. They're destroying one of their major competitive edges in the name of some asinine "compatibility" with their competitors
Some details: It seems that for at least two new in-house subtitle releases (A Wild Last Boss Appeared 01, Kaiju No8 23), rather than the usual Aegisub the subtitles were created in "Closed Caption Converter", which cannot do styled on-screen text at all. CR work with Aegisub on left, CCC on right.
![Screenshot from A Wild Last Boss Appeared episode 1 from Crunchyroll, featuring a single on-screen text to translate at the top of the screen, with white text in a black box. Crunchyroll's usual work could basically replicate this box very accurately for immersive results, but with Closed Caption Converter we instead get regular subtitles reading "WAR SYSTEM [linebreak] - Different nations engaged in PvP combat." with zero styling involved. They're even placed right on top of the sign, resulting in just a total mess in terms of general readability.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yezjmch53wfkkmm7i3hiccua/bafkreiabvthl42loeakmqdhottd4uxcab4fzljhlg5wbdekolduipjw3ky@jpeg)

There are a lot of Mario theme remixes. Some good, many terribles. Heavy Mario Land by Floaf and Dimmignatt (2004) still sets the standard for me. Faithful yet original, pleasant, balanced. It's just on-point www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS4n...

Commençons par l'effet croisé "populisme" et positionnement gauche/droite.

N'en déplaisent aux médias mainstream et médias #Bolloré qui veulent faire croire le contraire.
