Examples:

Naruto: I'm really happy, just thinking about how easy it will be to take you down right here.

Naruto: At least I'm not a failure that's always dragging others down!
Hrm, if thats their translations I'd say they took some liberties with the dialog.
Speedsubbers can ruin an episode by giving people all these dumb impressions, but OTOH, oftimes the slow subbers do the same thing. Its pretty hard to translate both meaning and nuance from Japanese to English without losing something.

Pick any two: accurate wrt meaning, accurate wrt nuance, match animated mouth speech timing.
