What Fansub of Bleach Do You Prefer?

[Assertn]

they're indecisive......

the thing that annoys me the most is the way they display subtitles in chunks while the person is talking instead of all at once.......SO DISTRACTING
A-Keep's my favorite

[Black ops]

Which fansub displays subtitles in chunks?

Edit: Lunar's been very inconsistent with the song lyrics as you said with the G-O- thing. They need to make up their mind.

[Assertn]

i was referring to lunar both in the "indecisive" and in the "subtitle chunks"

Lunar. The only problem I have is so far in the intro song when they get to the G~O~D~WHY? part. I mean it was G~O~O~D~Y for like 10 episodes then it went G~O~~D WHY? and now it was G~O~O~D~BYE in 21.

The first three were just different guesses, and the last change comes from the official lyrics. I don't really care about that though. The way Lunar does their timing, like Assertn said, can get annoying and distracts from the show. Also, they try way too hard to make the subs sound "cool." An example would be how they put in crap like "o'" rather than just using "of". I wouldn't mind if it only happened every once in a while, but they overdo it. Don't get me wrong, I still appreciate them doing it for free and all, but I just think there are better groups working on it. TW-Naisho has the highest quality version, followed by Anime-Keep, then Lunar, and Chihiro is the worst. The only problem is that as far as speed is concerned, it goes in the opposite order.

I download whatever comes out first, but I only keep AKeep's releases. I like theirs the best. Now that GSD has been licensed, I'm sure they'll have more time to catch up on Bleach.

[snowball]

lunar but i watch the chihiro first

[HaZMaTiK]

i like lunar as i can easily put them on dvd and thier subs do not get cutoff somewhat

[Black ops]

I really don't like TW's font that much. I much rather prefer A-Keep's. But TW's quality is somewhat better than A-Keep's so bleh.

[obake]

A-Keep, all the way. Haven't seen Chihiro yet, but Lunar's episodes are just unwatchable, IMHO. TW is very good as well.

[Black ops]

Obake why would you say Lunar episodes are unwatchable? Just wondering. TW and A-Keep need to catch up. A-Keep does a crap load of projects though so bleh.

[Munsu]

i don't know why he says it, but I've always thought that Lunar was crap and i think they are still crap with Bleach...

now would i label them unwatchable? no... i watch them....


for reasons, i have a problem with their translation choices, specifically thier editing... aside from that their timing method sucks ass, i don't know why they keep doing it... it is simply horrible...

[Tidus_Yuna]

Lunar gets me vote all the time

It's more an aesthetics thing than anything. The format of the subs and the usage of "death god" is just distracting to the point of me not wanting to watch the episode. I remember some of the translations being off (although I could be wrong), and the presentation is just bad. That said, I know that it takes a lot of work to subtitle a show, so I don't want to come off as some unappreciative prick.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, Bleach 15 is out by AKeep. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

[Tsukasa]

TW has always been a favorite of mine but they never fisnih any series it seems.. One thing I hate about Lunar is they use very bad grammer like ain't and other redneck like sayings..I know for a fact japanese really don't have those type of words..

[kooshi]

Lunar tries to make the speech in anime more..... informal, which is how many people these days are starting to talk like. Still, I agree that it can be extremely annoying at many times during the episodes.

[Black ops]

I much rather prefer A-Keep translations. Like kooshi said about Lunar making translations using informal and slang like aint and other things. I believe that it takes alot of work but I really don't like the translations for them.

[Y]

I have no problems with Lunar's translations at all. I like the fact that they have personality and style in their work. I'm glad I'm nto as anal as the guy above, who was mad at Lunar for using the literal English translation for a Japanese word. Oh, gee, how distracting - words in my native language instead of romanji! [img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]

[Black ops]

Who would this be? Me or kooshi?

[Death BOO Z]

while it wasn't me who said that, i also vote for shinigami over death god (or god of death) anyday...
soul repear\grim reaper comes in 2nd.

death god and god of death create a feeling of a singular being who's in charge of death, which doesn't portray the essence of thier jobs...
angel of death would be acceptable, but it sounds too bombstic, it's like how fox kids changed Amidamaru harusame (spring rain) to sword of light in Shaman king, completly inappriopiate and doesn't convey the feeling well.

and Y, would you want Sasuke's sharingan to be called 'copy eye ball' or Sasuke to be called 'Genius clan Sasuke'?
and if we're at it, lets call Kakashi 'scarecrow', Naruto will now be 'spriail whirpool' and Shikamaru is now 'deerson'.

sure, i've been going overboard with the changing of their names, but jutsu changing won't be anybetter, could sasuke's 'lightning cutter' beat whirpools 'spinning sphare'?
and what about the hokage, should he be called 'shadowflame'? it sure is a cool name, if you're 12.

[Black ops]

Whoa. Um nice examples of how Japanese words get translated really crappy into English. For the Naruto examples is that really going to happen? The translations for that I mean.
