Notes: Gene installed the HiDive app and...it didn't work at all. He tried deleting and reinstalling it, but there was no change. We also didn't finish Umamusume because Crunchyroll kept freezing up, and also nobody was particularly enthusiastic about it. We abandoned it about 45 minutes in, and went directly to Skip Beat in order to give Crunchyroll time to recover.
After Space Battleship Tiramisu (a very solid 7 minutes of comedy) we tried watching Yamato, and kept getting CR timeouts. We only watched 1 episode there, before trying to resolve the issue - it seems the issue may have involved Gene's AppleTV pointing to an unreliable DNS server; we re-pointed it to Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS server, and the issue didn't recur after that (which may just have been a coincidence...). That allowed us to verify the HiDive app was in fact working just fine now (we watched a couple minutes of Pop Team Epic episode 3), and that CR appeared reliable again (we sampled Karakai no Jouzu Takagi-san/Skilled Teaser Takagi-san).
