Reported Problem for Sakura Quest
posted by yosho053STAFFMOD on May 6, 2023 at 10:29 AM
Item: Sakura Quest
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Can we change the English summary to the official one from Crunchyroll who were first to simulcast this? It hasn't changed since their announcement:
Five young women have one thing in common—the careers they planned for themselves weren’t working out. Job dissatisfaction, trying to make ends meet, and personal insecurities lead each of them to start working at a local tourism bureau where their lives become intertwined. As the girls experience their first year on the job, they learn a lot about their town, their industry, and themselves.
The current English summary is taken from Funimation which released each episode with English-dubbing one month after Crunchyroll. But interestingly, in their announcement prior to their release (the last link below), they’ve taken the summary directly from Crunchyroll too.

Is there something wrong with Funimation's English summary? I don't see why it needs to be changed if the overview is accurate.

As someone who has watched the show, I feel that Crunchy's is a much better summary; it's more descriptive about the underlying themes in this show. Someone might have no interest in tourism but might still be interested in this program when they see things like "job dissatisfaction", "first year on the job" and "they learn a lot about... themselves." The current description just talks about working in tourism and not much else.
