Crunchyroll Has Found a New Way to Insult Anime Fans

Over the last year, the quality of subtitles on Crunchyroll has been getting worse, and unfortunately, it’s expected to decline further. A user on Reddit, mudda-hello, recently found out that Crunchyroll has lowered the quality of its subtitles for the Fall 2025 anime season – a move many fans see as particularly disappointing. The platform has largely stopped using typesetting in its subtitles, which makes them harder to read and diminishes the overall viewing experience. It appears the change is simply to cut costs, as better-formatted subtitles are more expensive to produce.
