Was geared up to watch Lazarus but with the apparent sub delay I think I’ll just watch it in full later down the line unless this changes.

Yeah, it's crazy to see this happening and I personally am more put off than most by this since the JP side is a stellar cast. And there have been quite a few interesting comments made about the acting direction and recording of Lazarus in JP, so I was looking forward to experiencing the hard work they put into it. My plan currently is to figure out if there's a Japanese service it's streaming on and just watch it there, which is becoming an increasing trend this season as shows go unlicensed.
Watanabe's stuff seems cursed with poor streaming in general. Carole & Tuesday might have been fine on Netflix, but I remember the mess that was Terror in Resonance when that was banished to some new streaming service of the month...

Yes, and it would be just as crummy if it was the other way around (delayed dub when the dub already exists and is widely available elsewhere - dub delays due to production turnarounds are understandable but this is a marketing decision, nothing more). I think it's an accessibility failure for services not to provide as many viewing options as possible for everyone to enjoy. And I simply don't want to watch a show with some of the best veteran seiyuu in the industry in a form I'll enjoy far less
Hopefully it will retain enough hype that I'll actually remember to go back later (I feel scammed though since I paid for Channel 4!)

Yep, I agree that it should have been all or nothing provided you have everything ready to go and otherwise available. This is just a silly tactic that has ultimately already turned off quite a few potential viewers, which is losing the mass market you're hoping for with such a prolific director at the helm.
I've always been happy to give a good dub a chance (and I used to love the Canadian Ocean Group dubs back in the noughties and always will) but I'd still like to be able to hear the original cast in the original language as well.
(One things about US dubs that always perplexes me is that - and this isn't about US VAs assuming 'British' accents to play British characters - we never (or very very rarely and usually for films) hear British VAs. So we're always hearing American voices which again adds a level of 'otherness' to relating to the characters. Good though many of the VAs are, I feel there's a kind of sameyness in the way certain characters are delivered to us in American, samey inflections, reactions etc. esp. when it's high school comedies/romances. So I'd love to hear, let's say, Honey Lemon Soda or Sasaki and Miyano or Shoshimin with UK actors just to find out if it delivers a different kind of feel. I'll get me coat...)

Wait, what? Was there a second season of My Happy Marriage that I didn't know about? -Looks up Series on Netflix- Holy heck yes!! My Happy Marriage is one of my Top 5 favorite anime series of the last 8-10 years, pretty much - I totally loved the first season... Instant Watch of the second season for me!

Glad that my despair was helpful!
I watched the whole of the first season before deciding that it wasn't for me, haha.

Urusei Yatsura (2022) Episode 1 & 2 - This was delightful. I don’t know what it is about Ataru Moroboshi but he's like a perfect comedic lead as someone you don't mind getting stuck by lightning by his alien wife (self-proclaimed) every few days. I'm not experienced with the Urusei Yatsura franchise but I do like how so far every 10 minutes a separate story. It means they have a really high density of jokes without anything feeling dragged out. Very cute show without trying too hard.
