There was talk about the Magic Knight Rayearth English subs a few days ago. I hadn't watched it but it's obviously transcription software within the first 5 min:

I don't have any screenshots but Cromartie High's is the same. It's probably most old anime they pick up.
2/2 Checking CR's English Rayearth dub and yeah it's got formatting issues I've seen elsewhere. Doesn't delineate who is speaking. Formating is all over the place (magic knight/magic Knights/Magic Knights etc.) 5 minutes into the first ep and Princess Emeraude is "Princess Emerald."

No problem! I can check specific eps if, anyone knows where a line comes from. I do think Crunchy has been using transcription software to caption English dubs for a long time and not bothering to clean it up much or at all. It's more obviously a rush job with older series, I'm guessing.

So tl;dr, those sub samples from the dub are possible. Wouldn't know where to pull the exact lines screenshot out of a 49 ep show. Does make me realize I should watch it though lol.

Haven't watched Rayearth so I don't know where those specific lines are from. They're not out of line with what I've seen Crunchy do on English dub closed captions in general though. The English Cromartie High subs can never get a name or proper noun right. Old Gundam series too. 1/2
