You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
Yeah, I’ll be fine.
Yeah, I’ll be fine.

Oh wow, this really sucks for dub fans and those with accessibility needs.
After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

It’s a Guillermo del Toro tie between either At the Mountains of Madness or the original plan for a duology of The Hobbit.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

One of the aspects I love about UC Gundam is that it’s about 130 years in the future yet everyone wears business suits like it’s still 1980.
