    RE: Which is better?

    For 86? I think Bakafishs translation is better, the video had a few artifacts though, but if it's just to tide you over til Anbu releases theirs than that wouldn't matter much.

    No way. Shin Otaku is better. Better image quality, two karaoke's. Translation may be a bit off, but because most of the people replace their fansubs with AA when it comes out is doesn't matter.

    RE: Which is better?

    i don't speak jap, but it is well known that bakafish has some great translations, with few errors as well
    but they use shit quality raws, so hence bad video quality

    shinotaku - got karoake, got good video quality, but it is known they have some pretty bad translations at times.

    Starting from Episode 88, Shin Otaku and Akusei will be joining forces.
    Akusei translated 87 this week and from what i heard, they did a great job subbing it!

    UNLESS they go back and fix the episodes up, i see no point, because they will end up confusing the people that watch their old episodes. I really don't care about their recent episodes. They've got a mistake , n they need to fix it, i dont care how good they are now.

    By the way Cheez, YOU should watch other subs too, so you know that you aren't already confused.(otherwize u'd know that anbu subs are different from S-O). and you need to keep your cool, and stop defending the confused.

    It's funny...I only keep ANBU episodes. You know what's even more funny? I only started downloading S-O 3 days ago. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. You, good sir, do not.

    Normally I prefer not to speak about our subs and what we do on other groups' boards (obvious reasons I'm sure), but when there is confusion I feel like I need to clarify some. You mentioned fixing our past mistakes, and if you check our tracker then you'll see we have put down the eps where we have made mistakes and we're working on getting 81 up (we've been very slow with getting that one up again, but it should be up over the weekend I think). I'm sure the ep you're speaking about where you bash our translations so incredibly much is 81 due to it having 2 pretty major mistranslations, and that episode was taken down within the span of... was it one or actually two days? I think it was one day but I'll give it to you that it might've taken us two days. You make it sound as if it's still up though, and I beg of you that before you say things about anything really - not only the fansub world - you check your facts and sources before you say things.

    Okay, then maybe you should watch the old epsiodes, thats what im trying to say all along. Unless they go back and change it, i have a feeling that people will be mislead.

    RE: Which is better?

    I like Bakafish better, but I heard he's taking a month off or something like that. So the next ep from him might not be until ep90.

    RE: Which is better?

    cheez, the first 3 naruto releases they've made have all proven to us not to trust em.....i cant just keep downloading their eps in anticipation for the day they dont suck. Early impressions are important, and i lost faith in them after the first 3 releases.

    people who dont read the manga have it even worse off, cause they could watch the episode, thinking its all accurate, and then several days later find out its all wrong once they watch the AA version. I would hate to be decieved like that.

    I found Akusei to be surprisingly good. Mind you I don't know an ounce of japanese, but still.

    You're so right about this.
    Might I add that when after those people watch the AA version, they would STILL be confused because they don't know which version of the sub trust. To trust AA or to trust S-O. Of course, the people who don't go back watching the AA sub again will be at a disadvantage because they are totally wrong. S-O needs to go back and change everything so they don't mislead people. An example of this would be the forum member chamber. Even now he STILL thinks that kakashi knows ALL the jutsus of the konoha. We don't know what version he watched, but we definitely know that AA won't make an absurd mistake like that.

    cheez121: it doesn't matter how good they are now, you should go back and watch their old episodes, and you might just be feeling what were all feeling. i think it was episode 80 - 83, that had a big WOW WHERE THE HECK DID THAT COME FROM.

    RE: Which is better?

    Well... I'd say the discussion is valid. I mean, I'd personally say that Naruto will be licensed in the near future, considering its success in Japan, and judging from other series AA is / was doing (FMA, for example), they're going to drop it then. Unless you want to wait forever years for the dubbed episodes on TV (which are most likely going to be horribly butchered), you're going to have to switch over to another group then.

    I think Shin Otaku is alright - granted, I only watched 86 and 87, but it's not like they were horrible. Yeah, the subs are white, but thanks to the big black border around the letters, they're always pretty readable, even from a distance (when I watch Naruto laying on my bed, I'm like 10 feet away from the monitor). That's not really possible with the AA subs - they're really hard to read from that distance.
