To effectively combine flames, trolls, pitiful arguments and other crap about how you or someone else dislikes a certain fansub group, this thread serves as a general gathering place for all of the hatred that is out there for those who provide their services for free to us.
So, if you have something bad or nasty to say, say it here!
Let them have it!
lol @ scrolling subtitles
What an absolutely retarded idea.
About as retarded as subtitles that only reveal part of the text, so you have to keep watching them (and not the rest of the screen) to see when the next bits will appear.
>>73 haha FnT with "The Third", right?
Yeah I saw that -- so annoying!
I had to train my eyes to NOT look at the sub before the text completely appears.
I was thinking Lunar with nearly everything, but whatever works for you.
I kind of think you should stop watching The Third in the first place.
Lunar's perfect-timing obsession is kind of annoying, though.
Lunar has a lot of weird policies
ONEE-SAMA KICK
(I registered a forum account so I could post the official Gainax names for the planets in Diebuster, in case they stopped using retarded names like "Octobrion", but I don't think they ever approved the account. registration forums lol)

The thing of subbing is that even if they made mistake on their sub, no one would notice anyway because we don't know Japanese or else we wont read sub.
In a surprise turn of events, it appears that a member of Nanashi is a jerk. Who'd have thought.

The passive third-person doesn't really help to cover up that he added it himself.
(It took maybe ten minutes to fix Perian up to hide the garbage text in gg stuff, so maybe the VLC developers are also jerks. But still.)
shinsen-subs for asshat encodings.
The people who subbed Kamen Rider Black have screwy timing.
>>62 Those assfucks at Tv-nihon are fucking faggots and evil sensitive bastards that pick on the noobs that hang out in their chat channel.
Shinsen-subs for making made up lines. I remember one D Gray man episode where Lavi's line was subbed to "Don't be such an emo fag Mimi". WTH??!!!!
^ yeah that was soo idiotic!
Shinsen-subs has practically always sucked.
Though, they're okay every now and then.
Shinsen seem to vary widely, probably because they have a lot of translators working for them, and don't seem to care if those translators are horrible or not.
Nyoro~n fansubs make up half the stuff in their "translations".
Slowpoke shall now exit... slowly.
yesy for being so goddamn slow with StrikerS
Conclave for never finishing a damn series.
Your Mom/Dad/Whatever for being posers.
Shitsen, I mean Shinsen for having crappy ass encodings.
And pretty much every other fansub group other than Eclipse and A.F.K since they're both awesome.
Well, AFK's been taking some major heat since they dumped Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei for Clannad, and understandably. Seriously people, who's gonna sub SZS now?
There are like five groups subbing Clannad now too.
Zetsubou Shita.
I hate subs with any sort of karaoke at all. Especially the morons who distribute MKVs but then shit all over the benefits of the format by hardsubbing karaoke effects.
Even worse are karaoke effects for songs that happen in the episode itself. The mere decision of subbing them at all can rape scenes almost as horribly as TL notes do.
I'm pretty sure ASS format can do animation too... which makes it even more inconceivable that a group would hardsub karaoke just to make the letters bounce.
"Dumped"?
Well, he started subbing Clannad, and do you see [a.f.k]Zetsubou 09 anywhere on the tubes?
I suppose he might be trying to do both, but that will take a while.
There's no information about it being dumped though. Remember, there were some huge waits between certain episodes of Lucky Star, and then a whole flood come in a single week. It could just be the same deal all over again.
(Anyway in the case of Clannad, there are plenty of groups doing HD versions, so I feel no need to willingly decrease my viewing pleasure by going with AFK's one.)
Clannad is not animated in HD.
>>98
Well maybe not standard HD, but 1024x576, which is somewhere between 720p and 1080p.
Clannad is not animated at 1024x576.
It is broadcast at 480 upscaled to 720. The composite-cable dot crawl in the credit overlays makes this quite obvious.
>>102
Okay. I have to wonder then, why fansubbers would then scale up yet again to 1024.
Also, there's only 3 episodes left of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei so I'm sure AFK will finish those and work on Clannad full-time.
Okay after looking at the 1024x576 version for a while, there is no way that's 480, the thinnest line visible is much thinner and sharper than 480 would have allowed for. And if the widescreen version were really 480, can you imagine how low res the 4:3 version would be horizontally?
There are sharpen filters and much better scaling algorithms available than you'd think.
> And if the widescreen version were really 480, can you imagine how low res the 4:3 version would be horizontally?
75%?
On top of that, aren't anime "animated" as vector graphics and converted to the destination resolution at render-time? Kyoto Animation were claiming that everything was "re-rendered" for the Haruhi DVDs, which made me think that.
Anime Junkies
>>107
Yes, pretty much. They could release a HD version, but they don't to boost the DVD/BD sales. It's sad.
Shinsen Subs
That's why DVD are sold - television broadcasts aren't meant to be kept and archived.
LIME Subs
I'd have to say Lunar. Because it's important to actually finish a series rather than just going on to another one, a concept that they do not seem to grasp.
Your-Mom Fansubs
>>112 DVD is such low quality compared to the subs though. When will the distributors finally notice HD?
Dattebayo Fansubs
If you're referring to Team Dattebayo, creators of the Death Note Abriged Series: NO U
Dattebayo like those who did speedsubs with Naruto and Bleach crap
Dattebayo is made up of cocky people that think too highly of themselves. It's true that they're fact but the group itself is made of fail.
