Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.

I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.
New article on ★ daiz.moe

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason
daiz.moe/crunchyroll-...

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!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)
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.

This is a FASCINATING possibility.
I could see a world where Momoshiki looks to drive a wedge between them with his own visions of the future. Like he gives Boruto a new prophecy that Kashin Koji's plans will lead to a calamity.

Didn't Ikemoto say in one of those interviews that Momoshiki's ability is different from Prescience? It'd be so interesting if Boruto has a vision that clashes with Kashin Koji.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

Ohh boy just like father and son. I remember that episode when Shikamaru spoke to Sakura about Sasuke.

Alright, 28 Chapter of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex!
9/10
It's really good and I look forward to doing the next chapter, and sound very excited, and I can't wait to see what he does.

Maybe Boruto will eventually ask Sumire to add Sarada as a registered user 👀
Boruto's outfit looks so good, and the sword. It must be the special material that leads Kawaki to be unable to shrink it. But my exact question is what if Sarada accidentally touches his sword and drains her chakra without registering sounds bad :(

I also mentioned on the other app how much it makes me smile to see Koji leave it in the hands of Shikamaru and Boruto. The forms of Naruto's legacy, the hokage and his shadow hokage, and the two most tactically capabale

Gave this chapter a 9/10. This chapter had everything I wanted: great character moments/writing, good action, some really nice lore with the sword and Koji's prescience and finally Inojin's new Jutsu.

I'm thinking about Kurama's angst if he lets Naruto's daughter die.

Yeah no shit. Use your brain, it was given to you for a reason.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Like, Boruto just does NOT at all feel like Naruto was as a series. It's a continually fascinating read and I'm so curious as to how the anime is going to return to adapt the manga, because it seems like Pierrot is long-done with long-running anime series now.

Every time I read the Boruto manga, I'm kind of just struck by how 1) Naruto as a franchise has really just disappeared, despite still being on-going and 2) Say what you will about the quality, but Boruto feels so much more ballsy than Dragon Ball Super or any other spin-off has ever been.

Continuing w/ the positive stuff...
More characters are being used (Mitsuki finally had a legit good scene) and there's better over-all pacing w/ a better balance between fights and exposition. I like these 10-tail villains & am looking forward to seeing what's gonna happen.
