It's just a unique name. It has a special website also. Basically it's a torrent site of downloading anime

I think horriblesubs is a site where u can find the raw episodes without subtitles.
The title should be a joke, since u know, they don't have subs...

I do think their subs are decent, I mean really decent. The fastest sub group I know, so it's still a nice group.

EDIT: Rips from them Crunch and Funi huh? That's new to me.

They rip from CrunchyRoll and Funimation. Subs are probably pretty good. Usually get whatever is higher quality.

They're a bad sub group in the sense that they don't really sub anything and it's pretty much just seasonals ripped off of official sites.
The subs themselves are fine.

the HorribleSubs group was formed to piss off CrunchyRoll from being a pirated streaming site to a legal streaming site afaik

and HorribleSubs are not fansub groups that they do subtitles of their own, they are actually just webrippers that gets all their releases from legal streaming sites like CrunchyRoll

just ask how can they do subtitle translations so fast in just a matter of seconds or minutes after CrunchyRoll releases something? lol

I use horriblesubs for seasonals but torrent BDs if they are available. It's not the best but the most accessible

they "rip" their release from anime streaming website (Crunchyroll, Funimation etc etc), "ripping" is almost the same as downloading youtube videos but a bit more specialized, their sub is not bad either it's just standard since the sub itself comes from anime streaming websites official translator NOT using their own subs, it's all happens automatically using bot, that's why they could release anime fast and consistently.

Well, I better get used to it since almost every stream and torrent site is getting blocked in my country (Australia) and funny enough, HorribleSubs wasn't on the list....I think?

There's also a couple smaller groups picking up releases no one dares touching in fear of copyright or otherwise (like Little Witch Academia)
You should be able to find those using a quick google search.

They are horrible if you are watching JJBA since they change the names of most of these characters who have been around for 20+ years and it gets confusing. Don't watch the horrible subs version of JJBA.

It's kind of ironic but true at the same time.

They make some really good quality subs, but also rip stuff from Crunchyroll and make terrible running jokes no one enjoys.

Are we talking about the same thing?
I'm refering to this site, found it while I was looking for a site which allows you to download raw episodes, just downloaded a couple of series and they didn't have subs...

I'm not sure if from that specific site, but I downloaded their episodes many times, and it had subs.

HS rips from whatever legal site happens to be streaming something, not just CR/Funi. And judging by the numbers, most anime viewers are perfectly fine with the translations that legal sites provide. After all, the vast majority watch on bootleg streaming sites, whose streams = re-encodes of HS. Even among the minority that still downloads via torrents and such, most opt for HS.

It's not CR's fault that they have to obey music trademark laws and change those names. Same with any other JJBA manga/game/anime properties that have been localized over the years.

It's rips from Crunchyroll, which range from bad to good. I've never seen a truly horrible one.

Erai-Raws just released Tensura OAD 1 (all-languages subs) before it showed up on the Horrible-Subs tracker, so props to Erai.

They don't have XDCC but their DDL is super-fast. Glad to have this alternative for those who can't run torrents safely.

Yeah their subs taste horrible. I ordered one last night and the bread was close to get moldy, the tomatoes were green, they used goat's meat and the mayo had a mysterious taste.

The most horrible subs I ever ate.

The joke behind their name is because they reupload legal subs of anime which have historically been much worse than fansubs. Nowadays legal subs have gotten a lot better, but they've been known as horriblesubs for so long now that they can't really change their name to reflect the increase in quality.

Actually, they do but they're not encoded.
