| Somehow I never considered them before downloading any torrents before... I know there's a voting system here for the ones people like most, but is it really crucual? Did anyone ever find out any anime kind of ruined because of their translation? |
 |
| not so crucial to think about for new series.. most are officially subbed by crunchy/funi and ripped by horriblesubs anyway old timers might have stronger opinions on subs, but anyone finding "anime ruined because of their [fansub] translation" is overreacting imo |
 |
| Yeah, a certain fansub ruins a certain animu. |
| Inaccurate translations and ignored honorifics drive me INSANE because I'm at the level of recognizing much Japanese....so yes, I'm picky about fansub groups. |
  |
| I think it is important to an extent, some sub groups are better than others and I try and get the best experience possible. I do avoid Commie because I loathe their 'le epic maymay XD' subs and sometimes loose translations. |
| It honestly doesn't matter as much anymore as it used to. Back in the day, pre-2010 i'd say, different translations by fansubs could be very different and really effect your enjoyment of a show. Most subs now though are rips from pro-translated simulcasts so differences are more minor. Font, typesetting for signs and on screen text, honorifics and other small editing changes are the main differences for between most groups for recent series. Even if you are downloading anime from before 2010 you will honestly have a hard time finding any active downloads for anything other than than best couple of groups so you don't need to worry about it too much. |
| yes, funimation rips ruin anime for me |
| :3 |
| Ewwww, funi translations |
| Just an anime fan, doing what an anime fan does |
| People who think bad subs can't ruin shows are the lucky ones, man. Cherish this pure state, but shut up about it in the meantime.  |

| welcome to the southeast asia. land of pirates. and of course they have a lot fansubbers with different speed, quality, and creatifity. you can chose whatever you want. but internet are late in here. so, don't have big hope for older anime. |

That picture is hardly the only thing wrong with that sub. The next line is "Ich will protect you". That's probably a Rammstein reference but "will" means want in German and it doesn't have any place in a sub to begin with. A 4 minute look at the first episode has them translating "kuma" to "kuma", "gau" to "kuma" and "*grunting noise* to "and hopp!". |

| Only grab subs from certain groups, but mostly i just watch on/with Crunchyroll subs. When i look for older shows though i tend to only go for groups that have a pretty good reputation. |
 |
| The main things to watch for these days are trollsub groups like Commie and (occasionally) FFF, who like to engage in rewrites and add random Intenet memes and other jokes.

| If you've never seen something ruined by shitty translation, clearly you've never seen Funi's Owari no Seraph subs, or that one fansub for the first episode of yuri kuma arashi. The former is just really stupid, the latter is straight up unwatchable. |
| All I have to say is read this and enjoy: http://www.crymore.net/2012/10/05/fansub-review-hadena-shinsekai-yori-from-the-new-world-episode-01/ tl;dr - yes it fucking matters alright |

romagia said: anyone finding "anime ruined because of their [fansub] translation" is overreacting imo I take it you never watched a Hong Kong sub. |
| Yes imo though its mostly due to the font used, how the subs are placed an so on. Some do it extremely well and blend the subs in to the environment and so on. Horrible subs just give you the subs and don't give a fuck about placement lol |

_Charl said: Yeah, a certain fansub ruins a certain animu. That made me cringe. Anyways, sometimes I like the different takes on things because if I see something in the sub that I don't like or that doesn't sound right to me/match their personality, I always just think "It can be translated differently, the real meaning the writer meant to give was different/better." So I just use it as an excuse to bend it towards my ideal dialogue...selfishly. |

offmodel said: so we live in the golden age of subs!romagia said: but now that you mention it.. are there anime where the infamous hong kong sub is the only version? The third, Pink Jacket Lupin III series used to be one, but I was looking around a few weeks ago, and saw that it's on Hulu now. A lot of stuff has gotten subbed in the last 5 years, it's hard to keep up with. |

romagia said: but now that you mention it.. are there anime where the infamous hong kong sub is the only version? There are quite a few. From my memory: G-On Riders, Doki Doki Densetsu Mahoujin Guru Guru (incomplete "proper" sub exists too), Ginga Sengoku Gunyuuden Rai. I'm sure people who are into obscure stuff can name a lot more. It's true that not all HK subs are terrible and I guess most of them can at least give you an idea of what's going on. For me that's not enough tho, I want to see subs with rich vocabulary and emotional expressions, otherwise everything just seems kinda soulless imo. |
| Ofcourse they are crucial. Without them a lot of anime fans wouldn't have started watching anime since all free sites to watch anime (Except for crunchyroll) use fansubs. |
