Here’s the first of the crunchyrip TL reviews. Since all you have to do is to just copy and paste the crunchy script without modifying it in order to get the same score as them, if you DO modify it but fuck up some lines, you get an automatic fail. Preserving or improving the script will get you a pass.

OP. It works, plus they went with non-literal TL of the title.

ED.
*Sigh* I guess it’s passable.
Main Script.

She says beta, which means “cliched”. Horrible subs had it right with “Go ahead and live out your clichéd adolescence with your fellow scum.”

Crunchyroll got this line wrong, but Asuka took it up a notch and actually made the line even wronger. The line above means she should be officially recognized as a hottie in some way.
EDIT: Apparently I got this line wrong too. I heard from a VERY good source (this backs it up) that what she’s actually saying is that she is hot enough to be in a brochure for a cabaret club or other sex or quasi-sex establishment. Well, I guess the “good” news is that everybody else got the line wrong, so I’m in good company ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)ｱﾊﾊ八八ﾉヽﾉヽﾉヽﾉ ＼ / ＼/ ＼

Dat font. Dat positioning. And this line alone should give these subs a fail.

Asuka Subs has the dubious distinction of actually having *worse* typesetting than Horriblesubs.
Final Grade: FAIL
These people are real fansubbers, because they must be doing this shit purely for fun, not to actually, you know, put out a viable alternative to the competition.
Hey, at least it’s free! Also, dat kawaii font.
Well, they also say shit sandwiches free, doesn’t mean I have to eat them, lol.
Really? Is that why no one’s been buying by gourmet shit sandwiches? Well, shit.
:3
Asuka Subs has been total garbage since its inception. I think the entire group is just a single delusional guy who thinks the shit he puts out somehow qualifies for “worth releasing” in his own little bizarro world.
Oh! If it isn’t Daiz whom we gladly want to release our animu that are stalled on Daiz’s work list hence can’t be watched. /no.seriously.joke-intended
Underwater is pure garbage composed of LAZY fucks. Please, be cancer somewhere.
Finish RnL.
I got a soft spot for them since they remind me of what I was like when I first started out. Plus I downloaded a bunch of their shit
┐(￣ー￣)┌
They said they will TL future episodes instead of waiting for CR. Should be interesting to see if it’ll be better or worse. But as you said, it wouldn’t matter with that cancer-inducing font.
They can turn a good translation/script into shit, so imagine what they’ll do to a shit translation/script!
^What he said.
>Since all you have to do is to just copy and paste the crunchy script without modifying it in order to get the same score as them, if you DO modify it but fuck up some lines, you get an automatic fail.
And thus did 90% of all fansubs receive a Fail for their translation reviews.
See? We can cut our workload drastically right there.
That’s some pretty fail typesetting right there. Why did they even bother releasing this? :S
E-peen’s a helluva drug.
If you were given a Hatsuyuki Subs and a Horrible Subs which would you take?
I haven’t followed Hatsuyuki ever since the VK, but seriously they just released Makai Ouji Devils and Realist so….
I don’t remember the last time I watched their subs either… I guess I’d take Hatsuyuki’s subs just for the novelty of it.
Supposedly they’re supposed to have their own translator for ep 2+. You’ll probably have to review them again.
Yeah, I suppose I can do it for shits and giggles.
I checked dat .ass on animetosho, and it looks like the three numbered list entries in the “Definition of Unpopular Girl” typeset are a certain “Definition List” style… which is not defined in the file. Hm.
Then again, the fact that the two lines above those three are properly defined (Arial and all) may be more concerning.
I actually went ahead and checked all their styles, and most of them do, in fact, use Arial. So I’m guessing that the the typesetting was no accident.
I’m giving them a shot to help them out a bit. I’ve fixed their typesetting to the best I could without having to open up mocha. I didn’t really check their editing, couldn’t be bothered. Also the owner seems to be living in the past. No chapter files and other random stuff that would improve their stuff a bit. I think he messed up typesetting hard last week.
