This has turned into the Naruto verson of Kirk Vs. Pecard. We have reach a new level of sadness.
I have changed my mind, I like AonE's version now.

If you guys have any suggestions as to what you would like to see in the aone release (Ero-Sennin, technique names in jap, etc), post it here or drop me a pm...
I've just finished downloading AonE's version of Naruto 95-96. So far, from what I can tell AonE's version is sharper than ANBU's version.
However, I noticed AonE's version tends to get pixelated in some scenes. For example look at AonE's version at time 4:31 to 4:33, just before Naruto's sight get's blurry, you can see some pixelation.
Now look at the exact same scene in ANBU's version at time 4:26 to 4:28 and you can see there is no noticable pixelation occuring.
There are plenty more scenes where AonE's version starts to pixelates, just watch the intro (times 1:07 to 1:09 is a good example).
I'm not very knowlegable when it comes to video encoding or editing, but to me it almost seems that AonE's version is so sharp that pixelation occurs.
ANBU's version is not as sharp or bright, but I think this helps the video transition better that overall you get a smoother scene.
It's definitely a toss up, do you want a sharper image or a smoother video? For me personaly, the pixelation bothers me a lot.
Edit: I'll have to watch both episodes again to give my opinion about the translation.
Jed, I like the swearing, provided its accurate of course. I like the japanese names with the translations up top every time on the techniques. I even really liked how you guys defined arithmia at the top of the screen. Cause Anbu used that word too and I had to tell my friends what it meant. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] Also, Ero-sennin is good. Perverted Hermit is just too much of a mouthful. I'll say this through, I always liked how TW used to use different colors to represent spoken dialogue and internal dialog. I think you guys MIGHT already be doing that too, but I'm colorblind to certain colors and everything kinda looks like different shades of off-white too me, so I don't know. I just remember TW did inner dialogue in white and spoken words in yellow so it was really easy to tell the difference.
I just watched both episodes, after having watched Anime-Heaven's earlier this week. In the end, I think I'm gonna go with AonE as my "quality" sub. If ANBU shortens his time to closer to where A-H releases(which is usually next-day) I'll probably make Anbu my "speed" sub. Otherwise, Its gonna be A-H followed by AonE from now on.
You guys are gonna make me cry if you keep making fun of *insert name of favorite fansub group*'s subs ;___;
I liked the anbu. And for you Who found the AonE better. Dont Diss Anbu. they did a good job. If it wasnt as good as AonEs It was Still a High Qualitie Sub. Just a cuple days ago we Prazed both of the Groups. Now that they are Independent on Naruto dosnt mean you have to Be Cool. Choose a Camp and Flame the Losers. Geez. People suck
First, for those of you having video problem with either version, please uninstall all codec and install Xvid 1.0.1. The flash/shake/etc are either 1) conflict with 2 or more codec installed 2) older version of codec.
For me there is absolutely no video problem whatsoever with either version.
As for dl choice, I personally prefer Aone version because they are more "down-to-earth" (eg: fear of blood vs hemop??? sorry can't spell) but I have to say both did an excellent job on translation. It's true that Aone have better font and no spell+typo error but I consider them to be minor unimportant details(hey, it's free damn it). If you want the "pro/elitist version" go for anbu, and if you want to enjoy Naruto as the show it is (a show targetting younger + teenage ago group) dl Aone.
my broken piece of penny.
you guys may be dissing the anbu since aone holds the style we're used to.......but remember that the translater we had is part of the anbu team....and imo, the translator is one of the biggest factors in distinguishing between fansubs
although strangely enough, anbu's translations had a different feel to it.......not bad though, it seemed more "emotionally appropriate" than what ive been used to in terms of word choices and such

In terms of the file's quality, the AonE version looks sharper. There's a noticable difference in the audio, however; the ANBU one is still sampled at 48 KHz like the old eps, while the AonE one is sampled at a lower 44 KHz, according to VirtualDub. To my ears the AonE version sounds a little muddier, especially when viewing 95-96 right after the joint 94 release. The highs sound muffled. That's the one flaw in the AonE version for me; if the sound was as sharp as the video is sharp, I'd easily take the AonE version. As it stands, both are still on the HD...
I like the translations done by ANBU overall, although they have some major mistake in attempt to use a more complicated word. AonE's translation are very accurate for some, and I like it. However, this is quite diminished by some repetitions. In terms of Video quality, AonE wins hands down. Bright and sharp, just the way it should be, along with the fonts.
I'm still unsure of which to choose [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
i just wish my Aone would hurry up and download so i could make a reasonable comment
Yeah, what is up with that, my AonE torrent would freeze like every fifteen minutes. I had to sit here playing games all day and restart the thing. Took forever. Anyone know why it does that?
Honestly, compared to a lot of other groups that are subbing Naruto, Aone and ANBU are both (imo) great groups. The translations are both great, so nitpicking over the nuances is a waste of time.
I shudder over the thought that everytime a new ep comes out, one of these ANBU vs. AONE debates will pop up.
I am glad the matueraty lvls have gone up in this thread.
I've been trying to download AonE's version for days. Only turning it off when I was doing something online where it was making me lag. Right now there are only 4 peers and 2 seeds on it for me. Bah...
AonE's version took about 3 hours for me to download. Very odd.
Anime-Heavens torrents are really fast, and ANBU's actually hit 200 kb/sec, it was unbelievable.

its something that deserves to be discussed especially among people who like to keep their overall collection as flawless as possible

I can't comment on the aone ep because I didn't bother to download it. I thought anbu's version was very good (which is why I didn't bother with aone) and if they can stick to their friday release date then I'll be sticking with them. If not I'll get whichever is out first.
Being a fan for the 2 *Aone/ANBU* since the very very very first episode that came out by them. with the greatness of Crustols Translations and Aones Killer Quality and memorable trademarks. With the other subbers out there. Aone/ANBU where unmatched.. I stick with this team like glue. And i Boast that they are the best ever, like no other. since the recent sad departure of Aone/ANBU. I thought to myself that of course its unexpected. like a married happy couple goes very wrong. and gives you the sense to ask, what just happened? although very recently i was reading what ANBU had to say. and it pretty much told me everything i needed to hear about the depature. Its really hard to decide. As i had to download the 2 versions of 95-96 which was kinda akward. Judging which is better. ANBU sure had a new feeling to it yet knowing it was Crustols Translation, i was already at ease. Quality was acutally better then i thought. and it surly overall was awesome. as for Aone it sure kept its roots, Everything from the begining to End. even had an extra of the movie trailer which they did a good job.. *sighs*
in a sense of my own opinion, and it may sound blunt but i felt that i had to go with ANBU. yet Aone is still great. its just Crustol has been there everysince day one for naruto. Yes same goes for Aone but to think about it, Subbing and translation was the only thing i look to. doesnt matter how good the intro had to be or fancy lettering. Crustol just had a great sense of translation and with 95-96 it was all hands down after i watched everything. still its not like im dissing Aone cause with other anime they have sub such as Samurai Champloo-Gantz, They are good on what they do. yet they are so busy, its hard for them to keep up with all the animes they have selected to sub. and thats the many reasons ANBU was trying to say is that they want to keep it to where we can watch naruto at a certain time like on a friday.. But anyhow. no matter what AONE and ANBU where the freakin legit team of all time. because them i started watchin naruto endlessly. thank you both. Aone/ANBU
I'm worried that AonE will take forever to release a sub for Naruto. They just released Samurai Champloo 6 not 2 days ago.
Hopefully, Naruto is a top-priority anime for them
