Tower of God Season 2\u2019s dreadful subtitles spur accusation Crunchyroll \u201cwants it to fail\u201d CrunchyrollThe latest episode of Tower of God Season 2 has drawn more ire from viewers due to some poor subtitling that has people wondering what\u2019s going on behind the scenes. In July of this year, Tower of God Season 2 premiered, after four years of anticipation. The anime show kicked off in 2020 to a strong reaction, causing a second season to be greenlit in short order. Unfortunately, a number of issues, including the global shutdown and studio changeover, hampered animation. But we got there eventually, and the mystery of the Tower continued unravelling in 2024. Sadly, the quality hasn\u2019t been quite up to snuff, and Episode 7 has some egregious subtitling that\u2019s aggravating onlookers. The episode, entitled \u2018Her Name Is Emily\u2019, contains phrasing that seems awkward, stilted, and downright comedic at times. In one instance, the titular character literally says, \u201cMy name is Emily\u201d with a completely straight face. In another scene, she appears to randomly say, \u201cI\u2019m a chat robot\u201d, something commenters on Reddit are suggesting is actually from Episode 8. A reference to Viole adds weight to that belief, but that makes the episode no less interminable to watch. Compounded with other issues from earlier in the seasons, people are questioning what\u2019s happening with Tower of God as a property. \u201cWTF is Crunchyroll doing? It\u2019s as if they want Tower of God to fail with how they\u2019re treating it,\u201d writes one Redditor. \u201cTo make matters even worse, the subtitles work perfectly for literally every other available language EXCEPT for English. I\u2019ve never been more pissed off,\u201d says a commenter. The subtitles have now been fixed, but some reputational damage is starting to sink in on this season.
