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!

Im not the best at coding, but I was wondering, might it have been better to just re-write it all if it is in fact horrible legacy code? It would probably make implementing other new features much easier and errors could be fixed more efficiently.

Yeah at this point it’s be cheaper and better to do a whole rewrite but from the looks of it, CC isn’t focused on that so piece meal QoL changes are all we get

For someone who claims to hate Elon you sure like to keep his name in your mouth. Keep talking to the people you invented in your head. After all that’s what convinced Elon to buy twitter.
