Commie has an endearing aura of harmless retardation that consistently draws me to them.

there have been longer ones, but this is the only one i've screened cause of the weird message; usually they were just huge t/l notes, alternative translations or comments about what the characters were doing

I looked at their works and they were the ones who translated "People die if they are killed?" from FSN?

They did Brotherhood. Code Geass too, if I'm not mistaken. I also think they subbed Kaichou wa Maid-sama as well.

I mentioned them in my post as the best fansub group.

Here is the list of all their works: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=group&gid=2723
I watched all of their releases and their quality was superb.

Amen to that. I loved those guys. It's a shame they're not active anymore.

i'm not really picky when it comes to fansubs, tho commie would be hard to beat if they used decent translations. their typesetting is 10/10.

Best for me is Hadena, too many to choose from for the worst though.


this is actually a joke

Hadena is the worse fansubs by far, their translation for Horizon in the Middle of No Where cause a lot of shitstorm on a lot of anime forums like 4chan /a/, im glad Hadena is inactive now



Although I think Hadena was indeed a joke here (well, probably), Using KyouHora's translation as your comparison is a bit unappropriated anyway. Properly translating this shows without making mistakes require pretty much to read the LN beforehand. because of this, I don't think a single group translating that anime did a great job .


I didn't use Hadena's when I watched the anime version, and still found a lot of mistakes done by the translator due to not knowing the original work. As such, can't really blame them, although I don't know how bad Hadena's translation was for this show, either.


Now, about the question asked. Worst groups are groups that you usually don't hear about, with subs almost unreadable (lots of syntaxes and grammar mistakes, lots of translation mistakes, and so on). Would be difficult to say who is the worst, but that's probably not an english fansub group though.

"Best group" doesn't really exist imo. Because some groups have freelance translators for some of their releases, and that some of those translators are very high levels compared to most of anime translators. As such, quality varies more due to who translated it than to which group made the sub.

I see your point. Because all fansub groups has their flaws too.
