I would never subscribe to Crunchyroll, because they use DRM.

Have this odd bug where CC is enabled at first on every episode and man, it’s bad. Luckily subs for JP dubs are somewhat decent but I feel bad for anyone who needs closed captioning.
CC is a separate setting from the subtitles. There is a place to turn it off but it's so unintuitive I can never remember it. All it really is, though is dub dialog. There was no attempt at proper closed captioning.
Yeah I turn the setting off and next time I launch the app, it’s tuned right back on. Works fine on my PC, just not my XB1.
And the CCs don’t even get the dub dialog right. Names are beyond mangled it looks like they’re trying to run it through a realtime recognition system to do auto captions. It’d be worlds better if they just uploaded the ADR script at that point.
What I meant is there is a separate overall setting to turn it off. I think it is an app specific setting. If you just turn them off in the settings for the show, it will only affect that session.
Also it's sad to hear they've gotten worse. They were bad enough before when they were dub dialog only.
Yup! That’s the setting I’m referring to. The global one resets every time on me. I have to go into the show and turn it off at the start of every episode. It’s a pain in the ass.
