So. . . which fansub groups do you prefer, and why?
Some of you know that I absoltutely abhor threads that ask "what is your favorite ___" as I find them to be on average pointless in their aim. More often than not, they are created (especially by newer members) in order to harvest posts in order to increase their level. Lest astute observers accuse me of hypocracy, let me note that the point of this thread is for members to share their experience with various fansub groups so that others know what groups to avoid when obtaining fansubbed anime.
For example, I have a number of preferred fansub groups that I will watch exclusively. However, none of those preferred fansub groups have decided to take up a new anime that has piqued my interest, and therefore I am at a loss for what group to go for. One possibility is for me to download an episode from each of the various fansub groups working on the series and watch them all to make a comparison, but most of us, myself included, have neither the time nor bandwidth and hard disk space to make this a common exercise.
Therefore, I would like to use this thread for members to post the names of fansub groups whose work they have watched and to give a brief review or critique of their work so that the rest of us, who may not have had experience with those particular groups, know whether or not to get their work in the future or to steer clear.
Your assistance is appreciated!
