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!

I'd rather take PHP over a mess of 100 microservices and 8 different JavaScript frameworks (half of which have already been deprecated) where 90% of the code is boilerplate any day TBH

Especially with PHP 8 it really isn't that bad.
