Last time I saw stuff from Chihiro and Coalguy, the former's quality clearly trumped the latter in terms of translation. Sorry konadora, should've specified that it was raw. There has to be other raw watchers here >< On June 05 2009 12:24 EchOne wrote: There are like 7 different raws out for K-On episode 10. It's kind of imbalanced how popular that anime is. Like 4 of them were fakes from share, ffs, I swear I download k-on like 3 times every week between different raws and archiving subs. | ||

A few up and rising subbers with good quality are O-L (Otaku-Legends), Desire (subbing Phantom) and Shinji (they are pretty okay) | ||

Menclave is kinda too slow, never got to download any of their subs lol I once waited weeks for qq's release of Toradora, I gave up in the end. Way too slow. | ||

When Lunar did transliterations I didn't have any issues, but when SS-Eclipse do I can't but help feel that they are taking too much liberties. In terms of just accuracy though they are excellent. Personally, Lunar and KAA are the best subbers I've seen, except the former is inactive and the latter works on random things from DVD rips. I haven't checked any of those new subbers yet, largely because I gave up and used raws, sitting around to download subs by the seasons :p Menclave is really good, but yeah, they are freaking slow. I mean, I've seen worse, but they are up there. | ||

I swear a.f.k. really turned into sprocket or something, because the translation styles are similar. Granted, it is just being as literal as you could most of the time :p On June 05 2009 13:16 konadora wrote: iirc the last series Lunar did was Shikabanehime Aka? Oh, I forgot to mention StrikeS and Shinsen-Subs as a few notable ones (not that good though). They are doing Souten Kouro and Eden this season, the latter is moving at a pace that's slow even for them though. As for Shinsen...they suffer the problem of being big, by big I mean huge, the quality varies between each work because they just have different people working on them. | ||

and most speedsubbers aren't so bad as to warrant a redownload when the slower fansub groups catch up | ||

But for something like Gintama, it requires better explanation, which is why I'm sticking to slower, better ones | ||

Honestly at that point I'd just start watching raws and start piecing things out even should I have no knowledge of Japanese.

I am stuck without vol 25~27 scans of decent quality, so figured I might as well as try to go with the anime while waiting for some good people to show up with good tank scans on share. | ||

Speedsubbers are absolutely fine unless you're watching a psychological anime. Most anime isn't that deep at all and you could get all the meaning from just watching character interactions. Serial Experiments Lain for instance I wouldn't use a speedsubber with... but a typical regular anime? Don't see why not. Even the speed subs for Geass were rather good. | ||

i remember when a.f.k. was releasing them, some episodes were like a fucking month late. they were worth it in the end though. that series is like the gauntlet for fansubbers... probably one of the highest drop rates out there, not that many pick it up in the first place | ||

Hmm when you say speedsubbers I think of coalguy but not eclipse, the polish that eclipse manages to put on their work and the fact that they are generally slower (day+ versus the kind of <1 day for coalguy and co) sets it apart for me.

It is just a matter of personal taste though, I am much more willing to tackle something in its original language rather than in a translation that doesn't hit a high enough par.

Speedsubbers (as in those super fast ones) tend to sometimes translate wrongly/encode wrongly, ending up with a v2 at times. v2 happens everywhere though lol, they just happen when a group isn't going to pick through a release with a ton of QC runs. | ||
