A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

In order to ensure enshittification is on pace, Crunchyroll has apparently decided to downgrade from Aegisub to Closed Caption Creator for their subtitling workflow.
(yes, this means basically no typesetting anymore)

Gqu^6X ep6
These took a bit longer than expected due to multiple perspectives and subtle screen-wide gradients, some of the rotations might still be ever-so-slightly wrong on the attendance sheet but it should be good enough for a regular watch.

Helped out a bit with typesetting on ep3 and ep4 of GQuuuuuX ( @kaleido.fansubcar.tel ) after like a year of not doing anything fansubbing-related, so please excuse the rust!
Thanks @witchymary.fansubcar.tel for the project invite!

Crunchyroll sacked their entire video encoding team and replaced it with someone who appears to not have much video encoding experience...
Masterful gambit, truly.

Uh oh... Looks like Crunchyroll has been tweaking their #anime video encoding settings recently and once again there's some notable video quality reduction to be found as a result. Do we really have to deal with this bullshit again? I guess it has been almost 8 years since their last attempt...
