AnimeSuki, "Is downloading anime illegal? Technically yes."
To remain as a lawful citizen,
you must not download RAW animes (unless you own the originals). if you have, remove them within 24hrs.
You must not download fansubs either. Likewise, you should not download music that you do not own either.
You must buy the DVDs (licensed or not) or watch TV. but the Dvd subtitles suck or no english subs.
If it's licensed (US) fansubbing is to be stopped and distribution is to be terminated (self rule) so you can't get previously fansubbed versions ever.
In short, watching animes on a regular basis is impossible in the US (unless you are rich).
Fansub groups are only recognised within fans. Up-to-date fansubs are not cheap substitutes for expensive Dvds. Fansubs are not here to bring you 1st class digital medias so that buying the original dvds is not needed.

Spending an excessive amount of time, putting so much quality into something that is not legally recognised and being at the risk of losing every effort that you put in are a bit overdoing as few see it.

Now putting all the above aside, better quality is highly welcome but,
speed > quality
if you were hungry, after shopping with your lovely imouto who's eager to share a strawberry milkshake with you, would you go to Mcdonald's which is 5 steps away, or would you rather drive 2 blocks for an Italian resteraunt. disagree all you want to if you were to.

Compared to hentai anime fansubbing, most regular animes are pretty high quality. not to mention TVs, youtube, etc.

Why no softsubbing? scripts might be stolen. some things have to be hardsubbed in the first place. no perfect image? buy the original DVDs. Softsubs suit hentai animes better.

In the short term, i still believe that old xvid 175 encodes > very high quality avc in trade for some extra tens thousands kbytes.

What's "troll" mean?
