This marks the only series that could actually convince me to add Netflix to my pile of streaming anime services

The issue I have with Netflix is their subtitles SUCK! To me, they are near unreadable, as they're small, white, with no background to make them stand out from the background. I don't care to watch things that make me strain to read. I've been at this thing a long time, so I usually only need to skim subs, but it's nice to be able to read them.

Granted, if Netflix is running it, there is likely a dub to accompany it, but I've not been overly impressed with some of their dubs.

Interesting (I haven't yet watched a subtitled show on Netflix, so I have no idea if I will have the same issue on my 55" TV)

If Netflix does not offer an option to change the text to a higher contrast colour/font that's an accessibility issue and could get them in a whole heap of trouble (at least up here in Canada, dunno if the ADA down there would cover this situation)

AFAIK, there is no option to change size/color of subs on their app. I can in Funimation's app, I know that. I think you can only choose on/off for subs on Netflix.

I haven't had any issue with NetFlix subs.

Perhaps your eyes are better than mine. For me, they're really hard to read.
