| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| I have a few preferences, (UTW/URW, HS, and Eclipse usually) but if they're not up I don't really care. There are a few I dislike though. No Coalgirls, I DON'T want 500TB of Flac audio files and OP/ED's with my download, I just want to watch my friggen show. |

rederoin said: JavierR said: Necro-sama said: Just don't pick gg or Hadena. whats wrong with gg or hadena? I watch both of them... Am I doing something wrong? GG is fine, although it depends on the show. Hadena is horrible, avoid them at all cost. They can't translate for shit. gg and Commie's problem is over localization. With Hadena you have better chances to just listen to the raw and guess what they are saying. |

| The only one I really avoid is Hadena. And I'm really fond of Horrible Subs and Coalgirls, so these are the ones I look for when I want to watch a show. I don't mind the others. GG and Commie aren't bad, really. |

| I watch Horrible Subs for a quickie but usually stick with subbers like CommieSubs. Go on IRC and ask around. |
 |
| If I can understand the plot, then it is good enough. |
|
| If it's UTW, Mazui, FFF, rori, GotWoot or IB, I'll definitely choose them. If they're not the one who's subbing a certain series, I'll just read from some reviewing sites and pick the one they recommended. If it's Hadena, NO. I watched some of their releases, and I couldn't bear watching anymore after the first 5 minutes. |

rederoin said: If you don't know who subbed it, there is no way of knowing if they are "good enough". Hadena would be a good example of this. Ah, my bad, I meant to type "good enough for me". If every piece of dialogue is translated, I don't mind it so long as I can get the jist of what's going on. I mean, I would like to watch those high quality subs, but it requires to be torrented, and my connection is pretty slow when it comes to that, so I'd rather wait for the video to buffer for a bit. |

You'll get far worse experiences with a lot of shows if the subbing is done by a "bad" group though(I can only think of Hadena at the moment) though. If anything, i'd say its even more important than going for higher video quality. |

| I don't choose, I stream and use whatever their videos use. I can understand most japanese used in anime so I only need subs to guide me in some conversations and to explain technical words that I don't know, so as long as they do that I don't mind. Though I stay away from those crappy subs, where it's translated to chinese then to english so it's all wrong(and if someone's name is Takeshi, it's translated to Xhiayo, I don't even smh). I've had to watch like two shows with those subs, it would have been better if they were raw, subs and voices not matching up is very distracting. |

rederoin said: Red_Keys said: If I can understand the plot, than it is good enough. But thats the point, you won't with bad subs. Exactly. When I watched C3, I didn't fully understand the plot. I can't even understand what the characters are saying, thus my low rating on the series. Then I found out that I picked the bad subs. Good thing UTW has subbed the series so I plan to rewatch it with their release. Hopefully that changes my rating on the series. |

| I don't. I leave that stuff to my brother, who downloads every version. Samples everything, then scraps the ones that don't fit his tastes. |
infernotez said: First off, when it comes to older (pre-2000 or maybe pre-2005) shows like Golden BOy that have been released on DVD in North America, most of the files out there are going to be rips of those DVDs. Thus, the subs won't be significantly different between one release and another. Just because MAL labels all release groups "fansubbing groups," it doesn't mean they're all actually fansubbing groups.I myself generally look on the show page and usually one sticks out as the best or I use another site and just usually click the blue/green links. My question is how do you guys pick especially when groups go defunct and all their work can end up lost into the tide that is the internet? I have been looking to watch both golden boy and the only group I have found has dead versions and the other group I have found are random. There is also like some of the lupin movies which were really only subbed by a single group which is now defunct and most of their versions are dead. If the groups are dead, search moar; there's one particular "stupid" torrent site that specializes in complete torrents of all the English-translated anime they can get away with hosting. If it's not on the feline tracker and not licensed by Funimation or NISA, it's probably on there. And the versions hosted are considered by some consensus to be the best available. How do you pick when the mob is mostly screaming bloody murder? Before anything, I go for groups that release in resolutions and formats I prefer and display at least some competence in English. These days, that would be groups like UTW, Mazui, EveTaku, m.3.3.w, Static-Subs, and Doki (but not Hadena or SubDESU). In the past, I would've included Eclipse, Frostii, Ayako, Chihiro, FFF, and Underwater, but they either shut down or stopped releasing low-res.As for sifting through the comments, find places where the mob is screaming bloody murder against aspects you like. For instance, I like readable, liberal subs, so when I see MAL downvotes for reasons like "too localized," "trolling*," "too many liberties," "this group is the equivalent of doujinshi rewrites," "huge subs," "subs are too obtrusive," "subs placed too high/use too many N line breaks" or "text colors stand out too much," I can tell it's a release worth checking out. Other than that, the comments on AniDB and the reviews at Dark_Sage's and 8thsin's sites can provide more long-form comparison and analysis of releases. kuromii said: I thought people watched anime to be entertained by anime, not to be amused by font choices.Yeah Doki is decent but they use the same bloody font for almost every series' karaoke. RLinkSoul said: And if it's a show that doesn't involve squid or isn't available in 720p...?The ones that do their episodes in 720p, and don't make god-awful squid puns. Shiveron said: I'm with you on the FLACebo audio, but you clearly don't know what CoalGirls (and others) are doing with those OPs/EDs. By using .mkv segment linking, they can avoid including the same OP/ED with every single episode, thus using LESS disk space. To be specific, the space savings are [Size of OP+ED] * ([# of episodes where OP/ED appear] - 1 ). And you can always choose not to download the OP/EDs at all.There are a few I dislike though. No Coalgirls, I DON'T want 500TB of Flac audio files and OP/ED's with my download, I just want to watch my friggen show.

| I just download whatever first. I don't nitpick about extremely minor errors like everyone else. Who the fuck cares if they added -san to the characters name in the subs. Only exception that I will ignore is Hadena unless they're the only ones subbing. |

I watch both of them... Am I doing something wrong? GG is fine, although it depends on the show. Hadena is horrible, avoid them at all cost. They can't translate for shit. It almost happened this season (Sukitte Ii na yo). I was checking torrent sites frequently and still see that Hadena's the only one doing the sub, so I was forced to watch their release. It was a problem for me because I liked the plot and I want the best subs available. Good thing IB came to the rescue and I immediately replaced my copy.

Well, there are people like me who enjoy watching anime more if the font choices are good for a certain series. |

| I just avoid Hadena subs. All other ones I seem to have no problems with. |
| Usually go by whoever is the highest rated on each page. But I do have my trusted groups: UTW, Eclipse, GotWoots, Central Anime, BSS, SS, Mazui and a few others. Avoid groups like HorribleSubs, just CR rip groups. CR subs are utter shite. You have to be careful when choosing though as quite a lot of sub groups are only rip groups i.e they rip from CR and use their subs or just rip from DVDs and use those subs. |

CR are shit and Eclipse is not, doesn't matter if they share members. In the end, that's all that matters. EDIT: Should probably say that Eclipse WERE good. Sad that they stopped subbing. |
