Had to chase UPS up but have it now.
Driver's excuse is they ran out of hours Friday and snarked they were now at my place even though they were out of hours for today too.
I get I'm just one customer and numerous factors determine business decisions but- AL, please adopt a better courier for these releases. I have a problem with UPS every time and now a driver has just confirmed it's basically a lottery as to if I get product I've paid a not exactly small amount for.

Translation, I get paid crap to go to your house as there are no other deliveries in a 10 mile radius so just don't bother.
I can understand having delivery quotas, but this whole getting paid per package nonsense needs to stop.

Trust me, I totally get UPS are likely making things crappy for their staff. But fact is they missed getting this to me as promised and then basically admit if they could have got away with it they wouldn't have delivered today either.
In recent months I've defended these Sunrise import releases and, at least with Gundam, supported all of them, which isn't exactly chump change. But I am so sick of it falling apart as soon as they hand my copy over to UPS.

I wonder if ALs Violet Evergarden will have better subs than Netflix or are they (and madman) Forced to use Netflix's.

I imagine they have to do it as it was streamed, so as far as I know it's streaming subs for anything that comes off Netflix

I never had any problems watching it on Netflix but some people seemed to be very vocal about how bad the subs are ¯\(ツ)/¯

The subs on ep 2 make zero sense at points, which people have pointed out since airing.

If I remember right at one point the subs refer to an area incorrectly, that's mainly the thing some people want corrected

Its the whole sequence where its "Your parents wanted a girl" But Netflix has it as "You wanted a girl" Which makes zero sense

In my experience it was the dub that had weird elements in it, especially episode 12:
Also, separately, there was a scene with a wide shot of some mountains with a citadel on top one called Intense. Now the Japanese VA says Intense (as in the name of the place in English, or whatever the language of the area is) as it is a reference to something she remembers. The sub also says Intense, but they translated an English word (or reinterpretated it) to beautiful(as in it was a beautiful view) in the English dub!

It's Intense that was the particular thing I was thinking of. Man, many of those episodes must be a mess for those watching subs, those were pretty much the only problems in the dub, and it was one episode

Another issue with the Netflix version for me is in both the sub and dub - the use of the term "Auto Memory Doll" for the original name of the typewriter and the name of the girls' occupation - one of the fan subs refer to them as "Auto Memoir Dolls" and to me that makes much more sense.
