Hey /animu/, what are some good sub groups to use?

I've been using horriblesubs, but heard they weren't really good.

Also fuck /a/. I asked them this and they banned me for it.

 No.23475

sub groups are dead


 No.23478

Mori is excellent, but they don't do much outside of specials

Commie is good because they put chapters in everything they sub so you can skip the op/ed; as long as its a good show they won't put memesubs

FFF, BluRayDesuyo, SallySubs, Coalgirls are all great. Not many groups still bother doing airing shows since just about everyone downloads the horriblesubs releases anyways.

>>23475

the problem has always been balancing speed and quality. I'm glad that now you can pretty much guarantee that a show that's been started will also be finished; before sometimes you'd have to wait 2-3 weeks per episode and basically just hope the group subbing it doesn't drop it. Now you just have to hope they don't put memes in subtitles or don't use your preferred translation for a certain phrase.

horriblesubs isn't a group per se, although I also don't know this in detail myself. I know they rip other subs (even from crunchyroll sometimes).

But the classical fansubs, that proudly included credits on it's episodes, are kinda dead to be honest. Wish it would come around one day.

Or at least I wish someone would take censored gaming's mantle and did a similar thing to anime. That is, comparing official translation to what is actually being said.

>>23481

horriblesubs almost exclusively rip shows and subs from crunchyroll

the CR subs are usually fine, maybe 1 episode per season they add some stupid sub like "those GG bastards" from a recent boku no hero academia episode. beyond that it's really just not using a certain translation for a certain phrase (which is usually because the translators are rushed) or using a meme for localization purposes (this is up to an editor, some people don't like it but it's perfectly valid and might fit the author's intent more than a direct translation would).


 No.23488

Subgroups died a long time ago…

Now we just have corpses that are occasionally reanimated to do 1 or 2 shows a season.

But if you're looking for good groups Doki, Asenshi, GJM and Tsundere are probably the last bastions of good sub groups. Mori is also good but they do short shows, the last time they did something big was S1 of Dagashi.

I sometimes use DDY but they are meme subs nowadays and really inconsistent.

FFF just rose from almost a year of inactivity, super inconsistent.

Chihiro takes a year to complete 1 show (they still haven't finished SukaSuka).

Kaitou died (even their website) but I heard their back for Tama-san this season.

UTW came back from the dead to do that shitty Fate Apocrapha then went back into the grave

Nii-sama is a new group, they popped up a few seasons ago.

And Erai is a decent alternative to Horrible but i'm a bit skeptical of them, at least they're the only group I know of doing Cardcaptor Sakura.

Other than these there's other groups that are on and off active, and there are also probably good groups on AB I just don't have AB

Myself and probably a lot of people here I'd guess have sen subs that add t.n. explaining a joke, a reference or some other tidbit of japanese culture. While today I know enough to see that some subtitles not always match an expression, or they just ignore altogether some cool thing about japanese culture (I literally can't remember the last time I saw a sub actually mention a "kotatsu"), I can't say I know everything, and I wonder if Im missing something. Also, kids these days are missing out because of it.

>>23487

CR isn't total garbage, but I consider this a niche hobby, and miss my culture shock being explained to me.

>this is up to an editor

In another timeline I would be more lenient with (((localizations))). Unfortunately nowadays wenever someone tries to defend changes to translation for the sake of assimilation I roll my eyes.

is asenshi subbing? aren't they just the horriblesubs of amazon?

>>23489

>>23490

here comes the anecdotal evidence

that's why I said "might fit" not "they only use it when it fits". yes every now and then any sub group can botch a translation; you don't have to look very hard to find mistakes.

also consider that horriblesubs (CR / other streaming sites) are doing 15+ shows per season; that's about 300 lines of dialogue on average per show * 12 episodes * 15 shows = 54,000 lines translated. honestly you should be surprised there aren't more errors.

>anyone whom I disagree with is reddit and/or /a/

some of us have actually been around since before CR was a thing and it wasn't the spectacular utopia you envision with subs coming out on time, having 100% correct translations agreed upon by the most erudite jap/eng scholars and 10 pages of tl notes attached to end of each episode to explain the reason they used each translation. it was checking tokyotosho every day hoping the show you enjoy is out, idling in their irc channels hoping for any update, bitching at typesetters for spending a month doing karaokes when people really just want to watch the show, having translators go on vacation because they honestly can't give a shit anymore, etc. Censoring things was a stupid move considering the guarantee that their autistic audience would both notice and raise hell but that shouldn't weight against how they've improved the anime scene.

At least subs are still a thing.

 No.23687

Asenshi, Doki, Mezashite, Coalgirls and OnDeed are the few good ones, but the latter doesn't do seasonal stuff. Avoid Commie and FFF, they put their own made-up jokes into the subtitles which have nothing to do with the original dialogue, they often try hard to come off as "le channers xdd" by making the subs edgier than needed as well or by inserting outdated memes. Horriblesubs is fine but if you can find anything better then go with that instead.


 No.23689

>>23516

Fuck you, I archive those kinds of subs, and I miss them dearly. TL notes, no memes, karaoke, honorifics, nip name order, good typesetting with signs. There were shitsubs, sure: bad or ironic TL notes, memes, bad translations, overly literal subs, overly liberal subs, hard subbed karaoke, eyesore styling. But in general more than one group did a show, so you could pick the best group. Speedsubs and simulcasting killed it.

Sage because I have no recommendations, OP.

While they aren't exactly a sub group, it should be noticed Tsundere is run by an SJWeeb faggot.

The show in question here is the Campanella anime, referring to the "bath time" specials.

They also bought into the cancerous FLAC meme, in case you want to burn more HDD space on loli-free versions of your favorite anime.
