It’s a tie between EveTaku and FFF
But if I were to go off just episode 1, I’d go with EveTaku hands-down. m33w-Yoshi hardly edited the script, Commie had about the same amount of editing, but added in troll dialogue, and FFF went overboard with their fun. EveTaku was much more chill.
Let’s hope the 02s are better across the board.
How’s the typesetting in Evetaku’s release? I picked up Commie’s release because it’s a Shaft show and I figured HDR would do a pretty good job with the signs, but based on this a change might be in order.
Dunno. Haven’t checked yet.
Nise’s still the top poll pick, so I guess I can just review EveTaku’s release next.

Commie’s “monkey AIDS” line was my favorite.
“Just when I thought I was out… they pull me back in.” I’ve been icing anime from my list like a Joe Pesci Christmas Special, so I thought I might give Nisekoi (saw HS) another try.

It’s a tie between EveTaku and FFF
I felt like the non-CR scripts were head and shoulders above the competition, but I agree that FFF went a little overboard. It sometimes resulted in better lines, but also often resulted in cringe-worthy ones. EveTaku had an overall decent script without any big missteps, so I’m giving them the nod.
I forgot to mention: FFF are going to be v2ing their episode 01 and toning it down somewhat from episode 02 onward, so that might skew things in their favor.
The only original TL was EveTaku’s. FFF is another Aniplex edit.
Ah, right. They just actually put effort into their edit.
Evetaku is win. They’ve consistently produced high quality release from time to time.
I’ll uh… take that as a compliment?
>consistently
>from time to time
No. These are opposite ideas. You can only pick one.
Well, I suppose you could consistently produce good results some of the time as opposed to all of the time or none of the time.

watched the HorribleSubs first (coz they released it the earliest)… :|
hmmm… i wish i can put all of the subs on one episode so that I can change the sub whenever i wanted to…
welp… gonna do the TL party again next time :v
You can, but I think it’s a waste of time.
Grab the subs either from AnimeTosho (click into the file name and then grab their All Attachments DDL) or from the files themselves (use MKV Extract GUI2 v2.2.2.8 and extract everything but video, audio, and chapters for every sub track you want — do note that you’ll want to extract the one chapters file that matches up with the video/audio desired). Then open up each sub file and time shift for the desired video/audio. I’m not gonna teach you how to time (I hate timing), but you can find tutorials online. Then when all are timed properly, drag and drop them along with all the fonts and the desired video/audio into MKVmerge GUI v5.0.1. Mux and then you’re done.
This’ll give you an MKV with a shit-ton of fonts and sub tracks.
I use http://puu.sh/6rzf5/2def9df5fe.png for that.
Hey, but MKVCleaver can only extract the subs. MKVMerge is still needed to mux all of them together in one mkv file!
Ah, but even if you do shift the times (I’m sure the times will have to be shifted possibly at three places?), there might still be some problem with the typesetting, eg. the typesetting being off by one frame. That can look annoying at times. Unless you make manually check if each typeset is fine… The time spent would not be worth it, especially for 5 different subs.
By ^ I meant that it would not be necessary to time everything from scratch. Rather, the subs will have to be time-shifted/retimed only at a few places(possibly the beginning of each chapter?). I believe that only the typesets would, possibly, have to be timed separately.
Do what I did when I tried to watch the Sora no Otoshimono movie for the first time and it was a tie between Hadena and SubDesu: paste all the lines into one subtitle track and have them default to different parts of the screen.
That must’ve been a train wreck.

Apparently, hard work pays off. I’m glad to see that a traditional fansubbing group is topping the more legitimized competition.
Hey, running spellcheck is hard, traditional work! Apologize to Commie and m33w-Yoshi!
Like I’m gonna trust spellcheck. I wrote my name on a research paper, and it said my name was spelled wrong! Like, seriously, spellcheck, I know what my own name is.
How can I trust it when it doesn’t even know that much?
You shouldn’t just run spellcheck and call it a day; you should run spellcheck to make your life easier, not effortless; it catches some mistakes but you still need to proofread it — it’ll just be faster.

Wow, didn’t expect such a clear result.
FFF seem to step up their game this season.
“Jeez-o-pete” and “kvetch” did make me frown though. I’m not a native speaker but I don’t really think anyone talks like that…
As a native speaker, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say those things.
I’ve heard people say “kvetch” just because they could. It’s fun to say, even if it isn’t English. “Jeez-o-pete”, though… I’m not even sure what kind of person uses that.
Well, no. I know now that some fansubbers do.
