    It's not easy to judge a sub... especially when you do not know the language that is translated.
    Should we know the language, at a point we can be sure to judge the subing quality, then we would just watch raws...


    This is for the language part.

    A part where we however have more to jude about is:
    Fonts used
    length of sentences
    Time to read the sentences
    when there are multiple characters, is it easy to recognize which sentence goes to which character... and is there enough time to read everything?

    Sometimes, on some subs, you see a 15 words sentence that remains for less than a second or so. Even for a native english/american, I doubt it's possible to read it.

    For DN, I have to say that it's quite readable, but sometimes we have phrases that deasapear too quickly to be read.
    I know, sometimes it's too difficult to translate everything and give time to read...

    I watched about 2 minutes from both anfs and under9000.

    First thing I noticed: anfs is high-res (720p). Unter9000 is a smaller 704x400.
    Second thing I noticed: I'm not quite sure I trust either translation ...

    example: 6:44-6:55

    Yeah?
    <L>It's Ryuuzaki. After you get there, be sure to keep an eye on Light-kun. And good luck to you.
    With the little bit of japanese I've picked up in my years of watching fansubs, I don't hear anything like "good luck" ... which is also a bit of a non-sequitur. I don't trust it.

    Quote Originally Posted by anfs

    Yes.
    <L>This is Ryuuzaki.
    When you are in Aoyama and Shibuya, please cooperate with Light, but also pay attention to his every move. Make it a secret, please."
    I didn't hear anything about Aoyama or Shibuya either, but that could be editorial license in play. I could make out a fast and slurred "himitsu" that makes me think they're closer to correct, but have more than is necessary in there, leading to a very long line that could really be pared down and cleaned up without losing any meaning at all.

    In either case, I'd probably call for a translation check. Editing on both is pretty weak compared to the tw and l-e releases in the past. Typesets ... so-so, not compelling. Encode? Comparing them is somewhat apples-to-oranges because one's HD and the other's not... so I'll pass on that .

    I'm not going to do a whole detailed script comparison, 'cause I kinda feel like crap right now . But if I were to pick one over the other, I'd probably pick anfs over u9k. I'm thinking maybe animanda is a better choice though... if you're patient .

    I'm downloading the animanda version to make a comparison too. I've also found what seems to be another sub group called Death God fansubs. You might wanna take a look at what they have to offer too. Seems like we'll still be getting our Death Note anime fix after all.

    Nice ep.

    Misa will add some spice to the future eps, eventhough I really do not like the way she's introduced when I analyse it straight. On much complex levels however, that could be very interresting. Although Light should always lead in the end, as the hero... but no one can be so sure of that... since after all he's an anti-hero.

    I'd like to know more about L too. After all, he's made very different from anyone in the anime/manga.
    What made him so different, why is he that smart, why those eyes, why such a reaction to "shinigami" eps ago...?

    I took a peek at DG, and it seems that they may be TW in disguise. I could be mistaken as I haven't been following the series. Though, episode 13 might've been the last one translated by AK of Troy, so if they indeed continue it be wary of their quality as they only had a good translator going for them. If they indeed find another translator I very much doubt they'll be any good. I haven't seen Animanda, but apparently they're good enough from what I have read from other posters.

    That was another great episode. With the addition of Misa's eyes, the Kira's become all the more deadly. Gotta love Death Note, dramatic writing, dramatic potato chip eating, dramatic tennis, dramatic cell phone calls, and now dramatic hugs. What more could you possible want? Did I miss anything?

    Anyways, I'm eager to see how he'll utilize Misa's Death God eyes. It should be interesting to say the least.

    looks like it will be animanda for me.

    Episode 13V2. I'm not positive why they released a V2 I have both but I haven't compaired. http://animanda.edwardk.info/%5BAnim...5D.avi.torrent

    If anyone knows of a better subber feel free to let me know. So far though for that episode they seemed to do a good job with nothing that seemed horribly out of place.

    Great episode its always interesting to see how they handle the plot twists in this series and I'm definatly glad so many groups are trying to sub it.

    I've just watched the animanda and the Death God fansub versions, and I'm picking the DG one over animanda. Reason? They're using "shinigami" instead of "Death God". Just a personal preference.

    It seems to be a preference among quite a lot of people.
    When they hear a japanese word often, and know the translation, they prefer to read it as they hear it.

    I've seen that with onii-chan, onee-chan or nee-san (AMG...), Oba-san etc...

    To me the main interrest is that is facilitates the synchronisation between what we read and the action.

    When possible, please try all the versions.
    It will take you no more than 22 more minutes and you'll judge for yourself.

    I would not like to see a long thread of arguments for suporting one group or another.

    I'd rather read comments on that ep and what may arise next in the series.

    All in all, when you analyse it, at 13 eps the setting is not totally complete. Quite a slow, but very dense, start. I think I'll enjoy it, seeing this series

    Episode 14 from ANFS

    Although I've said I would prefer DG's subs, I'm still compelled to download this because I really can't wait to see what's going to happen next.

    Is this a spoiler free thread or can I discuss ep 14 here?

    I really need someone to talk to about this ep...
