If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

SZS is a perfect example of something NOT to speedsub... you'd miss half the show from the unsubbed blackboards and screen-filling text

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

Lucky Star is harder imo, if I am a translator and have to pick between SZS and Lucky Star I'd take the former in an instant, it is that much easier.

if i were your typesetter, i'd stab you

Hey they did both :p

Can't argue though, Lucky Star is a typesetting nightmare.

they dropped zoku mid-season... though apparently its because their translator held the translations hostage when he wanted to prioritize clannad over ZSZS... either way they never finished it up, and left it to poor anon and volans

Lucky Star is probably one of the most nightmarish series to do, so many old-anime references, parodies and stuff.

blackboard.. aargh those scenes with blackboards/banners/long letters will be such a bitch to translate, especially if it appears often.

But for Lucky Star, you'll probably have to have watched almost all the old animes, or do some long ass research to find out what they're parodying or referring to lol

I got like 30~40% and had to look a fair amount of them up, then I got lazy because there are too many. Easier to just read the manga and pretend the anime doesn't add anything.

yeah the manga for SZS is definitely more palatable if you're the type of person who tries to understand everything going on... the anime just feels like shaft is shoving whatever the hell it can/wantsto down your throat. like in ZSZS ep2 where they decided not to use the actual manga plot but made up fake subtitles involving goku trying to find dragonballs, and nonsense speech

+ Show Spoiler +

(the toptitles were literally added in by a.f.k. from the manga plot)
(as an aside, the perry plot was fucking genius, i don't know why shaft decided to make up new dialogue)
(as another aside, kuusou rumba is still my favorite OP song ever, only topped by its own rap version)

also the first episode of ZSZS animated the gag cover flap of volume 1. who the hell does that? shaft. fucken' shaft.

I'm pretty sure the entire script of that half of the episode was in utter gibberish XD.

After the shitstorm that Shaft did on negima and el tonico (i don't remember the name correctly), i would avoid all shaft productions like the plague. they just have a tendency to mess EVERYTHING up.

Shaft made a mess out of Negima, the manga is really good imo

And if you look at Shaft's works, the only one I like was REC.

REC was excellent, I need to magic up the manga and get up to date. And yeah, they were babbling nonsense for that whole time, it was hilarious to listen to though.

i actually like what they did with SZS and pani poni

they arent faithful, but they're stylishly unfaithful

if you want the original, read it

no, strato disappeared, he didnt hold the translations hostage. he popped up out of nowhere to do haruhi 2. a.f.k. is basically strato by himself, he is translator, encoder, typesetter, timer, and editor. he deserves a lot of credit for what he does but he's awfully old fashioned.

also shaft can pretty much do no wrong in my book because SZS's adaptation is brilliant.

edit:
just looked at the last page. speedsubbing has become more prevalent recently because people are impatient. eclipse suffers from the fact that their editor is a bit of a stiff, but they aren't too bad. coalguys is basically 1.5 people, and they don't take it too seriously. watchable but i wouldn't archive.
