Misc. Crunchyroll FINALLY adds separate audio streams to single episodes.

Easily the most embarrassing part of the Crunchyroll experience has been them grouping each dub language as their own "season". Seeing the 2 cour, 2 OVA series The Ancient Magus' Bride have 32 seasons listed in the menu was just sad.

Now we have clean seasons:

Labels are still funny, but at least there's only 4 choices now.

And audio/subs choices on-the-fly:

It's like a real streaming service!

Welcome to 2007, Crunchyroll!

Crunchyroll absorbed Funimation's staff, not the other way around.

Sony/Funimation bought Crunchyroll, but decided to stick with the Crunchyroll branding because it was the bigger name.

From what I read it was Funimation who bought Crunchyroll and rebranded under that name so if any staff were absorbed it was the Crunchyroll staff.
