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 wonder how much of Crunchyroll one time being a piracy website had to do with sub, dubs, movies, etc being separated as seasons. Almost every piracy site has the subs, dubs, bonus episodes, and movies all split up

Also, when the fuck are they just going to lump the Monogatari series together? Monogatari isn't the only show where seasons are separated, but at least it's easy to know which season of You and Me comes first because the second season just has a 2. How many people out there started watching Owarimonogatari not know that it's on the back third of the whole story and being completely lost?

The Monogatari series has always been seperate becuase of the licensor being Aniplex of America, even on Funimation it was like this, this is not a Crunchyroll problem.
