    Roku controls Subtitles/Language as a system level which means Crunchyroll can’t fix it. Other systems allow the language/subtitles to be within respective apps.

    Roku won’t budge that subtitles must match language spoken and that each content should be in its primary language (Japanese).

    Crunchyroll is “fixing” the issue by creating duplicate seasons - one for each language - but that is a very slow process and it only fixes the dub

      what? i can’t speak specifically to crunchyroll (not willing to pay for it), but i watch a lot of movies in languages other than english with english subtitles on roku.

      if roku is insisting on this (?), they aren’t insisting on it for other services like hbo.
