greedland has both simplified and traditional subs... it's more like a collection of different chinese fansub groups' works... but there are more rmvb than avi files in greedland, and the avi files are far less seeded and go out faster...
i would advise not watching anime that is subbed in chinese... after watching the english hunter x hunter, i downloaded chinese-simplified subbed hunter x hunter episodes. only then did I realize why japanese people think of anime as childish.
please note that i am completely fluent in both chinese and english.
when the lines are translated and read again in chinese, they become strangely corny and very cartoonish. the deficiency may simply be the chinese language's inability to produce more synonyms for a single object,state,verb. so more broad terms are used and in the end the episodes become childish.
English and even better, french, the language of diplomacy, serve as the best translation languages.

Hmm... on the contrary I think most of the time Japanese translates into Chinese better, because of the fact that they are more closely related... there's more 1-1 direct correspondence between Chinese and Japanese terms so you don't need to find lots of similar but not really accurate terms as when you try to translate Japanese into English. I think the goal of translation is to try to preserve as much of the original meaning as possible, so imo making some originally "childish" lines sound more "mature" does not mean it's good tranlsation... :p
