Oversubbed Anime Fansub Review Time Partyblast!
Release format: MKV (10-bit, 273 MB)
Japanesiness: Honorifics.
Note: Some whiny rant about fansubbing by some kid with a broken caps lock key: http://www.aniyoshi.com/?p=201
Note 2: Typesetting/karaoke are hardsubbed.

Karaoke.
Opening. Why is this so common? Don’t put morons in charge of the karaoke.
^ The karaoke when it’s working how it’s supposed to. Not good, but at least it’s functional.
Ending. This was fine at least. Thank goodness.
Typesetting.
This was really nicely organized.
This was just begging for a quick typeset job.
As a whole, the typesetting was all right.
Script.
Yeah… no. This is shitty phrasing. Let’s fix it.
“I assume you haven’t been told anything about it.”
“Right.”
Watchability: Quite watchable.
Overall grade: A-
I’ve given an A-tier grade to every group that’s done this show so far. Can’t really say it matters who you choose. Go with your heart on this one, or maybe a .choose bot. Underwater is preferable though because of the karaoke.
Something that should really be taken into account for Another is the video quality. Underwater (and now Commie as of ep2 or ep3) are using CR’s video, which is vastly superior to the TV station broadcasts.

Couple of examples that someone posted on MAL.
I’d wager that Taka and AniYoshi have the same video quality problems as the above screenshots because of the source.

This is not even the right color.

I like how they just put it at the top instead of aligning it.
You’re just butthurt, herkz. Just admit that there are better groups than Commie for this series.
An excellent counter-argument that convincingly refutes the points made.
Oh, wait.
Uh, no, Xythar. That wasn’t a “counter-argument” at all. But if you actually think of it like that, then go back to elementary school, please.
No, I don’t even work on the show. I’m just pointing out how their typesetting sucks because our good friend Dark_Sage seems to be blind or something.

sup herkz
That’s unanimated’s show, not mine. But I’m sure you can find terrible typesetting of mine if you look hard enough.
They didn’t align it because these are English subs, not Japanese. Dates are written horizontally in English. Liberal Commie should know something like that.
It’s not aligned with the blackboard.
I loved how petty their little rant was on their site. Two people complained about their subs and they typed out a long-ass post of butthurt.

Yeah, they’re mad.
I’m going with Underwater. Anyways, the line that you corrected didn’t have anything wrong with it; it sounds natural.
lol… i got linked to this page by some little guy in IRC, and is funny to see “at the very least” one of those failed fansubbers rant about other groups…
for one… i know most of the staff in ANIYOSHI… and believe me… it doesn’t matter how good of a whiner you are… you wouldn’t hold a candle to any of them…
– you like drama but you’re afraid of it yourself i bet.
– talk about karaokes? but i bet you have no idea how to do ’em yourself.
– Talk about editing? but as far as i can see you’re no better… you’re just on a different point of view.
– talk about Typesetting? i bet you have no idea how to properly pull off a sign.
you know… you might sound like a credible person to the eyes of outsiders… but inside the groups… you’re no more than a joke…
is just that simple.

Butthurt about an A-, wth?
You know… I don’t have to be Stephen King to say that some fanficks suck.
Commie defeated, someone got butthurt over A-.
lol, this is one of the most positive reviews I’ve ever seen D_S write. You guys really will complain about anything.
You don’t even speak English, loser.
Oh you~
Get on Skype. F10 wants to talk to you.
