Haha, yeah, I was really surprised to discover there's no FIGS this time. Fingers crossed that they'll rectify that in the future...

Also, if you haven't checked out the soundtrack yet, please do yourself a favor and give it a listen. It's got some amazing stuff.

Marzgurl has been collecting examples in a thread: bsky.app/profile/marz...
Let's make a thread out of these. It's time to start speaking up about platforms using AI in closed captions for anime, just like AI in dubs.

On Crunchyroll, these auto-transcribed captions were spotted on The Ancient Magus's Bride.
I caught these examples from Ancient Magus Bride S2.

Are these what you're looking for?

Crunchyroll's feedback form is here, if anyone is looking for it. And for the record, you can submit feedback even if you don't have an active account: help.crunchyroll.com/hc/en-us/req...

i literally just talked about this exact thing and why you absolutely shouldn't do it without a very good reason in translated text, why are you hurting me personally, nintendo

i haven't been in this much physical pain since your marketers called famicom detective club a visual novel
I don't know which of my kouhais need to hear this, but because I'm seeing this in a ton of commercial J>E game locs: you really shouldn't retain quotation marks in the same places as the Japanese source text 9 times of 10, especially outside dialogue. Punctuation parity in general is often sloppy.

When "clair" and "obscur" rank higher than "tactics" and "ivalice", you know you've got something special on your hands :P
