I wouldn't say it has barely improved, it is much worse.
That's hard to imagine, considering it was one step above malware back then. Actual virus riddled Russian sites were worth the risk some days.
I agree with you, it was shitty, but at least they left the Anime untouched.
See, I don't know Japanese. I can't be certain about what is or isn't perfectly accurate. The over obvious ones like Dragon Maid are obvious, but there are plenty of subtle things I would never guess they could pull over.
Translation and localization, sub or dub, is a field that requires a degree of trust. And CR has none of that and should be given the same disdain as if they had done that same shit because of every other obvious flaw. "Our competitor is somehow worse than us" should never be a bar we let someone over. Didn't work for EA and Activision, and won't work here.
Also, I 100% would suspect CR of pulling the same shit as Funi if they could, they just lack the same stranglehold and money to accomplish it.
