Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- Season 3 recently kicked off with its 90-minute premiere episode, and although the isekai anime fans welcomed the return of the series with much excitement, Crunchyroll received backlash for the streamer's English subtitles. As X user @Jaereku pointed out, there's a few translation errors on the platform, and the fan highlighted which part of the episode's dialogues affected how fans might perceive some characters and what they meant. However, after fans voiced their complaints on social media, it didn't take long for Crunchyroll to fix these issues.
As X user Proofspace, Crunchyroll changed the subtitles to correct its translation errors within 48 hours of Re:Zero Season 3 premiere's airing.
