Crunchyroll: check the dub for the episode you’re about to watch
Read the audio and subtitle lists on the actual episode before building a family watchlist around one language.

Open the episode you intend to play
A Crunchyroll series can list several languages on its Details page. Before inviting someone over or starting a new season together, play the exact episode and open its audio and subtitle controls. Start with the spoken language that your group needs. Then check the text track separately. Someone may want the Japanese dialogue with English subtitles while another viewer needs English audio and English captions.
A practical example is a household waiting for a dubbed episode while following a series week to week. Pick the latest episode and one earlier episode that you have already seen dubbed. Open the menus for both. If the earlier episode shows the intended audio and the new episode does not, you have narrowed the question to that episode or version. A complete reinstall would add work before answering it.
Make a two-episode comparison
| What you see | Where to look next |
|---|---|
| Desired audio is listed on the episode | Select it, then listen to a short passage of dialogue |
| Desired text appears in the subtitle list only | Test it on the intended audio track and check whether it includes sound cues if required |
| Dub works on the previous episode | Save both episode numbers and the language shown in each menu |
| Web and television show different options | Confirm the episode, account, market and app version on each device |
If the app remembers your previous audio choice, reopen the episode after selecting the new track. Check the first minute of the next episode separately if you are planning a marathon. For a shared device, avoid making a household-wide preference change until you have tried it on your own profile.
Ask a question someone can reproduce
Record the series, season, episode title or number, viewing country, device and the exact language missing. Include whether the same account sees it in a second supported app. Crunchyroll’s detail guidance shows where it publishes title language information. Send an episode-specific mismatch with those details, then keep a link to the episode for a later check.
