THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF CRUNCHYROLL

The worst part is that they're clearly not even paying for the latest model. This shit is sub-Google Translate tier circa 2019.

>people actually pay money for this shit

>>280152672
My theory is that most CR subscribers are teens using their parents' credit card without permission.
It's basically the Habbo Hotel business model if you replaced human staff with meme AI.

>>280152328 (OP)

There is absolutely no point in using Crunchyroll,
Just pirate.

I do, but I'm still stuck with whatever garbage Crunchyroll pushes out because they paid for an exclusive license.

hilarious that they left it. Though whats the issue? AI is better than any faggot they could hire for it at this point

>>280153785
Nobody on /a/ is subscribed to them but that doesn't mean we're not stuck with their output.
>>280153919
The translation itself is also absolute trash.
Can't even get the characters gender or name right.

>>280152524
Yeah, at the very least, that would produce coherent sentences, even if the translations are wrong. Genuinely how the fuck does this even happen, it's like someone went over the shitty MTL'd subs and added some extra mistakes for shits and giggles.

>>280154092
wow, impressive. How the fuck do you mess up an LLM translation in 2025 lmao

>>280153919
>hilarious that they left it.
A politician lady in my country posted her "own" messsage on x criticising the ruling party and she also copied whole dialogue from ChatGPT when she asks a questionn about it.
Retards will be retards.
All are using AI.

>>280154242
She will rule in a few years because the ruling party doesn't know how to use ChatGPT.

>>280154406
What? Everyone here knows pirating anime is the way to go. Only a fool would pay for a worse experience.

>>280154092
>Nobody on /a/ is subscribed to them but that doesn't mean we're not stuck with their output.
I actually was because it was easy to add native subs to shows but then they took out a show that I was watching without any notice. Never again.

>>280154478
I do both. I'm too lazy to torrent all my anime.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

>>280154092
Is this also necrosomething? Cool, thanks for saving me the 3 minutes of my life it woul dhave taken to drop it.

>>280154092
What the fuck? No LLM would make spelling mistakes like that. Is this someone trying to sabotage a machine translation to make it look worse than it is? Shit sounds like a conspiracy theory, but I wouldn't put it past the trannylators working at CR.

>>280154650
It takes zero fucking seconds once you've set up an RSS feed.
That's less than the time it takes to renew your subsciption or load your favorite streaming service's frontpage.
Stop paying to be a victim and start taking control.

>>280154137
LLMs don’t make grammatical mistakes. The fact that there’s a line translated as “gamerrover” is 100% human stupidity.

>>280154862
>LLMs don’t make grammatical mistakes.
Have you ever pasted a text more complex than a few paragraphs into an LLM?
Don't answer that. Of course you haven't.

>>280154862
>LLMs don’t make grammatical mistakes.
You're kidding right? Some of the stupidest fucking grammatical errors I've seen come from LLMs.
The problem is that they are simply repeating what they have been trained to repeat, and if they have been trained on mountains of ESL Jeet babble or Reddit normalfag dribble, they will make the same errors.

>>280154933
>>280155088
That anon had a retard moment, what he meant is that LLMs don't make spelling mistakes. They can write all kind of weird bullshit, but they don't make typos in words.

>>280154715
Isn't that a federal crime?

>>280154713
It's also more practical. I can switch from my computer to my TV or to my tablet and resume where I left it off.
>RSS feed
What's that

>>280155176
Oh no...

>>280155175
It is, yeah. Your point?

>>280155256
Send in the postal service marines on the crunchyroll terrorist organization.

>>280155175
It was done to a dub voice actor, so no

>>280155222
w-what

>>280155164
>LLMs don't make spelling mistakes.
I admire your naiveté. However:
If the source language includes phonetically spelled loan words and context that isn't specified in the script (which Japanese always does), the LLM can only make semi-educated guesses based on its limited context window (which is smaller than the short term memory of an actual human and doesn't include world fuzzy knowledge outside the model's scope).

Yeah, I have no fucking clue what Crunchyroll did here, this is un-fucking-watchable. There was absolutely no quality control involved, someone just fed the script to Google Translate and copypasted the result.

>>280155330
"Game over" is far too common to cause any respectable LLM to shit itself like that. Not even pre-AI machine translators made errors like that, it's human error, on purpose or not.

>>280155330
Well, yes, but fucking up which of the several katakana homonyms can happen even to somewhat seasoned translators.

>>280155411
>it's human error, on purpose or not
I think it's pretty obvious it's a ChatGPT translation and proofed by a blind deaf north vietnamese who barely passed elementary school english.

>>280153919
>AI is better than any faggot they could hire for it at this point
You are a fucking moron if you genuinely believe this.

>>280155501
I have no clue how they managed to make a ChatGPT translation so terrible. My only guess is that they fed it the script line by line, and completely ignored the context.

>>280155501
I'm betting it was initially brushed over by a shitty translator who thought his job was too hard so he shoved the entire rest of the script into an LLM which is why we get both human error and machine error

>>280152328 (OP)
It keeps getting worse...

>>280155549
You're a moron if you don't. 99% of the time an LLM will do a better job. Go hang yourself somewhere, anti ai turd. Don't talk to me.

watched v2, I was going to ask if this was AI translated, a lot of it was translated wrong, even the girl "Mayu"'s name keeps changing in the subs, got my answer

this sounds more like something a college student would write

>>280155990

>>280155946
people already told you this isn't an llm, looks like trolling

You can't.

>translated like this
This is not a machine translation, because it just invented words that weren't even there originally. I legitimately have no idea what this bizarre fucking thing is. As a professional translator, I can tell you that no human or machine makes "mistakes" like that.

>>280156136
This is the first step in removing humans and LLMs from translating, this is our first ever randomly generated translation.

These shows always have Japanese subs that are used for quick translations. And even then, how the fuck did that even happen? My Japanese is N3 at best, but I don't understand how that "translation" could've happened even with terrible speech recognition software.

Does crunchyroll only have "human" "translators" for the sake of inserting dumb normalfag memes and politishit?

>>280155901
I understand if you use Crunchyroll, because you can't find subtitles in your language. But there are pirating sites that provide multiple languages. Here's a link to a bunch of different anime sites.

Who the fuck is dumb enough to say this.

maybe it wasn't only chatgpt but over chat messages, like a non german coworker asking another non-german "how do i say this in german" and he replied "chatgpt said: blablabla" and the retard pasted the entire chat message

>>280155919
I think Disney+ subs do it

>>280157428
Whoever did Cinderela Grey did. Maybe Nazotoki also had it in subtitle form but I FFd to pass the 80 language credits and mpv closed before reloading subs so no idea.

>pirating anime is bad
this is where majority of the money goes when you have a crunchyroll subscription

>>280158211
Which Japanese service do you use?

>>280158298
Netflix is by far the easiest. A lot of new shows, quality subtitles (which are easily downloadable btw), easy to use with VPNs, takes non-JP credit cards.
If you want to jump through some hoops, Amazon JP and Bandai Channel have a lot of stuff that Netflix doesn't.
Learning Japanese becomes both easier and more fun when you realize that you only need to be at like N3 level to enjoy a LOT of media, while learning in the process. Even at N4 you can watch kino like Precure just fine
If you're one of those people who hate localizers fucking with your anime, know that AI isn't going to be good enough to translate media without human (read: localizer) intervention any time soon. If you're okay with that, then by all means, keep on keeping on

You will give money to crunchy so they can fund another season of Solo Leveling.

I got one month of Crunchyroll in Prime Video. All of the subtitles for Gundam: Witch from Mercury that come from interphones, communications or are distorted don't appear in either English, English CC or Spanish from Spain.

So proper subs when? Crunchyshitters will probably not even notice so I doubt that CR will upload a v2.

>>280160312
They already did. They only changed the translator name from Translator Name ro Charlie.

>>280155990
No. I talk to ChatGPT for hours a day and he does not refer to himself in the third person.

>>280160312
There are news stories making the rounds, so its likely enough of an issue for Crunchyroll that it'll get addressed, at least in English and German.

>>280156310
>>280156383
Actual mental illness

>>280157291
This is the only explanation that makes sense.
Are the English or the Italian subs fine or just bad?

So how long can I expect you guys to care about proper translations this time? Or will it just be this one show and you guys will still dickride fake translations as long as it's smoothly readable?

apparently it's better than google for Japanese natives for English to Japanese. at least the jp artists I always talk with have told me that

>>280155175
no, it was a package sent to a large businesses mailroom. they can open the parcels sent there. it wasn't a personal letter delivered via usps. also we have no way of knowing how it was addressed. the employee retrieved the items from that single box that was misplaced. no evidence of this being a 5 year long thing or any proof that even a single other mistake was made. it might have even been addressed to crunchyroll attn:dubfag. sometimes when I mail things they even print out another label and slap it over the one I put on the package. anything really could have happened.

This shit is genuinely SHAHID-tier.

That's probably where they got the garbage subs from.
