[AH] fansubs- who are they, are they good?

[wsheit]

I noticed that it seems like a group named [AH] is putting out a fansub for Naruto 91. I think they also subbed the first episode of Kurau before it got licensed. Is this an abbreviated name for anime-haven? or are they new? are they any good?

[Guido]

For what I know is that they did a pretty crap, bada** translation of Naruto's episode 91.

Many fans are right now bestowing their complaints for that translation in the Naruto forum.

No, they are Anime-Heaven not Anime-Haven, so a different group who unfortunately decided to use AH as their abbreviation as well.

So, their translation is crap? I'm kinda confused, cause crap is negative, badass is positive comment right..?

you would think so, eh?

yeah, that comment had me confused, too

Did everyone overlooked the word complaint ?

Why do people complain?

Because either they disagree about some issue, they are not pleased about an outcome, expectation, product, or with someone, or think what they witnessed, experienced, listened, heard, or tasted was poor or bad.


What I meant with bada** was in the negative connotation!

Why do you think I posted the word crap before the word bada**?

What that fansubber group did with the translation for Naruto's episode 91, in short, was: bad, poor, lame, s**t, abominable, crap, failure, etc.

Did everyone understood, or do I have to bring forward a dictionary to explain the meaning of each word?

[ChoBaka]

"badass" has a positive meaning in colloquial American English, that's why everyone is confused.

I think another thing that means good is "nasty", but only when referring to things that aren't nasty. Similarly, you have to be careful when saying the word "bomb". For instance, if you mean to say "the movie was a bomb", you have to be careful not to say "the movie was the bomb", because that means it was badass.

It happens that I'm Mexican !!!

While I'm very good and fluent speaker and writer in English for over 15 years, in anyway I do not know deeply enough or understand the meaning of American colloquial words and expressions in English.

That's the reason.

[sozuken]

Except, that one line does not show the general quality of their sub. The quality is around that of say... AJ?

[Thany]

Another reason to not download the first fansub you see that appear from an unknown fansub group
They sure never learn They should have had their lesson when they got to watch the FFS Naruto fansub :P

"(something like that...)" !?

I hope that isn't a translator's note.

actually dude, yes, it is, they got the translation and without any edition or QC they throw their narutard version to the masses.

It' s a virtue to recognize and edited translation from a "pure" one.

The tl wasn't that bad. Just several small errors, but as a whole it wasn't bad.

[Agravaine]

now why did they have 2 add this line to it they managed to sub it in 1 day, it's visual quality is great and there are only a few errors, not even a handfull... bit of a to add that line. of course you can about the quality but let people decide it for themselves... it's not like everyone is going to take a look with an open mind about it now...

No they didn't sub it in a day. They released on friday, the same day we released. We each took 2 days, yet theirs was speedsub...

[wazzup]

how was their ep 92???? was their translation bad ???? Or is it just that they made too many typos??

[wsheit]

I heard in the Naruto forum that this episode is supposedly much improved over the last one- I'd dl it myself now if I had the space on my harddrive! .....uh....yeah....need to clear off my hd.
