Hi, I'm new here and I'm wondering which is the best sub group to get since I wanna start to download it. I have no idea about the groups but I know that there are 3 that are currently subbing it: Cellphone, Haro & Tori, and SEED Fansubs. Does anyone know which is the best to get? Which versions do you download?

Things that might be taken into consideration might be: speed of release of episode, quality or episode, language, font and size of file.

I would say Haro & Tori since it usually comes before SEED Fansubs and I heard that Cellphone is a speed sub, but I'm not sure if that's true...xD

Cellphone is indeed a speedsub, and quite decent at that. I usually download Cellphone first to watch, but keep HaroTori for keeps. SEED fansubs is not far behind HaroTori IMO, but I still think HaroTori is the best of the three.

And by "wanna start download it," do you mean the whole series? Because if you do, download Aone's version before the license. Here's a place where you can download almost all the current eps: Seed Genesis (http://seedgenesis.net/). Their batch 1-36 should be in the newest news post.

Cellphone is indeed a speed sub grp.

This is taken from them: We have an unwritten goal/guarantee(?) of releases within 24 hours of it finishing its airing in Japan at 6:30PM GMT+9

Although their quality is quite high. I usually watch their vers, then take Haro & Tori for keeping.

Haro^2Tori^2 because of their accuracy and still beating SEED Fansubs.

Haro^2Tori^2, i personally like the layout they use in their subs and i feel that the level of the translations is the highest among the 3
although it's not surprising it's better then Cellphone's, they aren't a speedsub for nothing

I just stick with Cellphones, there pretty good for a speedsub group. And I'm too lazy to download an episode again.
Also I like to stick with one sub group just because of what happened last time with Gundam SEED(I must have seen 5 different spellings, of Athrun, Lacus, and the other weird name people)

I stick with SEED-Fansubs, I compared their quality with Haro and Cellphone and I would say SEED-Fansubs are lot better imo.

I would agree that SEED Fansubs is the best, next being Hari^2Tori^2, and last being Cellphone. In quality though.

In speed, it's obviously the other way around. So I usually end up getting Cellphone. I don't really care what it looks like because all three have pretty good text font, quality, and have good grammar except for the rare typo.

Haro Tori, definitely.

Cellphone for me as well due to their speed. Used to download from Akeep then Seed fansubs but couldn't resist it when people start talking about the episodes while I am still waiting.

SEED-Fansubs and Haro^2_Tori^2 are almost identical by their quality (both video and subs). So I guess Haro-Tori is kinda better, because they usually release eps quicker i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

They're all good. It's all about preference. I started with A-Kingdom&AonE and continued with the HaroHaro&ToriTori route. Some people dislike the HaroTori releases because of their "sophistacated" use of language while SEED uses more simple street language. If Cellphone used a better quality RAW, they'd probably be the best. I have seen no problems with their translations except once and they're really fast.

Cellphone, because while Haro might be a little better, Cellphone still appears to be 100 times better than some of the Subs I had for SEED.

I usually get the RAW first, then watch cellphone followed by SEED or HARO. Recently thou I think Haro has been more into racing SEED than giving some quality and some of the stuff seems off. I've been pleased with SEED-Fansubs so far. And even thou they both try to release before one another. I just like the technical stuff more. Haro does the fluffy fonts. So if you care about fonts Haro is "fancier, prettier". Its just a matter of which you prefer. I like video quality and good translations. If you are picky about names then you have some choices too as their are various ways that groups are spelling certain names. You might get the american tranlations. Or you might get the subbers personal choice. Lil side note Haro was the top dog of the SEED days. Hopefully they get back to that level. I might just be too picky thou. But rating from best to decent.

SEED-Fansubs
Haro & Tori the renamed AonE. "For what reason who knows."
Cellphone

Haro^2Tori^2

I'm alil worried now. It seems like Haro has been in a competition for awhile since they tried beating out SEED-Fansubs. Now they seem to be racing to be the fastest and have almost approached a speed sub like Cellphone. They'll never catch cellphone but with the speed they are going their almost guarenteeing sloppiness. I hope that they and SEED keep to a decent 48-72 hour window. I want quality subs not fast subs.

Haro Tori. In my opinion they are the best. I download Cellphone's sub first and keep Haro Tori.

Guardian, their quality is as good as always. 2 days from the release is not a speedsub.

I download the raw first, then cellphone, then haro tori. So yeah, I download like 700 megs Destiny each week. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif
Of course I only keep haro tori though.

hmmmm, interesting, I like most of u am not waiting to watch the subbed version now that Destiny is close to an end. I download the raw version the saturday, around 11 AM (here in Mexico), Sunday cellphones around 12 AM, maybe it is out before but i didnt check it before, and haro tori Monday around 9 AM. I hope tuesday or Wednesday in the morning i will be able to download Seed Version. Sorry, this is the first time that im going to do that, actually im lacking the haro and seed version, but i will have the haro in 2 hrs tops, the ill decide which is better, but cellphone isnt as good as seed, i only need cellphone to decide, anyway im downloading them all. i didnt downloaded RAWs till destiny, around ep 30.
Right now i have a 1 mbit internet connection, and i download comics, manga, tvshows, movies, anime, etc, anything that entertains (I download a lot), and GSD is the only thing that makes my heart race.

I forgot i got Unbanned, well SEED-Fansubs is the best.

Haro^2 Tori^2 ftw.

Good quality and I really enjoy their type-setting over all others. I can typically wait after the RAW and Cellphone's is out.
