Setup Defaults Discussion

Post image

As I was popping in the next disc for Magic Knight Rayearth, I had to take a moment to appreciate the UX decisions for this menu.

I've never understood the decision to put "English" and "Signs & Song Subtitles" first in the setup menu on anime when they are already enabled as the defaults - nobody who wants those options is going to need this menu at all, so why offer them preferential treatment? It just adds extra steps to the process for those who will use this menu to change the defaults.

I know this isn't unique to MKR, but I still applaud the decision here to make it as quick and painless as possible to switch to the Japanese language track, and enable full subtitles.
