      Netflix doesn’t use Roku’s system level language / subtitle settings so I assume there’s a way around it for other apps as well.

        Yeah, there’s definitely foreign language English subtitled content on Netflix that can be watched on Roku. I don’t think apps are required to use the Roku system subtitles. I’m more inclined to think Crunchyroll just isn’t supporting their Roku app properly.

      what? i can’t speak specifically to crunchyroll (not willing to pay for it), but i watch a lot of movies in languages other than english with english subtitles on roku.

      if roku is insisting on this (?), they aren’t insisting on it for other services like hbo.
