Starting this thread to specifically talk about One Piece on Crunchyroll, since it's not really releasing to DVD, and I feel bad for cluttering the DVD thread with complaints about Crunchyroll. I'll start a Microsoft Store thread when the next release drops, as well as a secondary streaming release thread (Hulu, in particular) when more episodes drop on those platforms.
Linking to this Reddit post because it's been a great source of up-to-the-minute information regarding the release schedule of new batches of episodes: https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/1b3tzyo/one_piece_dub_release_schedule_2024/
Mainly starting this thread because I really do not like the Crunchyroll app experience one bit, but it's the most effective way to be up-to-date on One Piece without shelling out 40 USD every few weeks or resorting to piracy.
I'm mostly a dub watcher, but ever since Wano in particular, the official release has not been translating on-screen text, and it really irritates me how inconsistent with providing subtitle tracks for the dub.
Starting with episode 1001, there is no English subtitle track whatsoever for English-dubbed episodes. Before then, some episodes have had multiple English subtitle tracks with one captioning dialogue and the other translating on-screen text. Good luck if you need both.
It's really frustrating how inconsistent they are with the dub release, especially since the Funimation app largely did right by the series, and is now going away. The lack of any subtitles whatsoever for 1001+ is especially annoying.
