best: horriblesubs, because they're not uppity and egotistical and even when they do sub something themselves they just let everyone assume its a cr/funi sub rip because they care more about your enjoyment than their recognition. also, they're the only group that actually helped people download via their irc channel rather than acting elitist during the time nyaa was down.

worst: i dunno, the groups that rip from cr add some honorifics and then say it's their own?

HorribleSubs is not a fansub, they are fanrippers that directly get their video and translation/scripts from CrunchyRoll, im surprise people still call them fansubs since actual fansubbing involved encoding their own video and translating/editing their own scripts and that actual fansubbing takes like 3-4 hours at most while HorribleSubs release their so called fansubs just minutes after it aired on CrunchyRoll

horriblesubs has automated ripping, muxing, and uploading. they however do their own translations from time to time. they've said so quite a few times.

DeadFish is just a re-encoder/transcoder though, they just remake the fansubs to h264 8-bit-depth and in MP4 container so that hardware media players can play it

They've said so, that doesn't make it true. There is a reason all their releases are so conveniently timed as to release after a legal site streams it.

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

as for best fansubs i will go with GG fansubs, they are fast and have accurate translation with some trolling from time to time, another one is Dattebayo i grow up watching Naruto and Bleach from their fansubs

Minusing HorribleSubs since they're a ripping group and not a fansub group. The best groups would be leaning towards Vivid, FFF, EveTaku, UTW (DEAD) and Underwater in Terms of editing and translations. Anime-koi and or DDY would be better for the Song styling but that's about it. They lack the better editors and translators to be superior to any other groups.

I find it funny how people think HorribleSubs translates shows.

Good: Underwater and FFF. Commie (BUT ONLY FOR SHOWS BY SHAFT. Also herkz is one hilarious dude)

Meh: Coalgirls (They're one of the few that go through the effort of blu-ray torrents but the file sizes... Sickening... If another subgroup releases a blu-ray torrent I usually go to that instead of Coalgirls at times.)

Bad: I don't really like horriblesubs, they butchered D-Frag (Had to resort to horriblesubs because I couldn't get my hands on FFF)

Coalgirls does not sub. They use official subs or subs frome other fansubbing groups. Yes, some of their releases are bloated but their quality is top notch so for those that does not mind its size, they are one of the best choices and I like their releases even if they are 2GB for episode.

Both. Genuinely lost my sides when I was browsing for a Blu Ray copy of Monogatari: SS and saw drama as Herkz accused Coalgirls of ripping Commie typesettings.

While Herkz is a funny person especially with the sarcastic comments, but unfortunately that doesn't change the fact that Commie subs are average/below average at best. the only good subs they did was the Monogatari series imo.

I always download from BD or DVD groups for my anime, and they usually pick the best (or most popular) subs to use in their releases.

Best: UTW, Underwater, GotWoot, Static-Stubs

Worst: Hadena, Asuka-Subs

A lot of good groups have died off though. Other good ones are FFF and Doki.

I feel that Doki and Commie get unwarranted amounts of hate, especially Commie. Commie did great work on Psycho Pass and the Monogatari Series. Doki has great BD releases, at least video quality wise.

i also like Commie fansubs, they do not have a good translator and often just edit the script of crunchyroll too but they do put a good work on their ASS subtitle effects sometimes like shown in this thread, i also like their simple typesettings and their video encodes are consistent for the most part they use standard settings preset=veryslow and tune=aninmation and thats it, they do not pretend to be professional encoders that edits advance settings of x264, DarkShikari invented that presets and tunes to remove the complexity of x264 and they are following it
