Okay, you guys caught me. You were right all along; I don’t judge fansub releases based on quality, but rather on how much I like the groups who are subbing the shows. I have attached evidence in this post that will confirm all your suspicions.

 

Biased Against (F-tier to C-tier)

If I have to read another word of this shitty fansub release, I'm gonna shove a dictionary up this group's ass

And those were just the past few seasons. I’m sure you can find more evidence of me basing my reviews solely on groups’ names if you looked further into it.

Somebody help me. I’m out of control. :(

  1. Why did you go through the trouble of make this post as a response to something someone said on the internet? Worse, on nyaa. Oh, Baka_Sage.

    • It was a general “response” rather than a directed one. If you think I care that much about Nyaa’s community, you’re out of your mind.

      • Well, it’s not your first post “not caring” about the Nyaa community. Although, I admit, your last post about Nyaa drama was pretty funny.

        • If you want a target this was aimed at, the answer is fansubbers who blame everyone but themselves when they fuck up and claim bias when reviews don’t go their way, while remaining strangely silent about it when they get good grades.

          • Ok, I guess that seems fair. On the other hand, it may seem like you’re expecting some kind of adulation when you give a positive review, if you put it that way. Everyone’s like that, it’s no use to get so worked up because of this.

            • Uhh, no. Why would I want a group that did well to thank me? I’m not that far gone yet.

              The point is some people need to show a little more personal responsibility and grow the fuck up. The hypocrisy of “we did great in this one review because we’re smarter and better than everyone” vs “we did poor in this one review because Dark_Sage hates us. Clearly we’re so good that he’s just jealous of us and magically made mistakes appear in our subs.” is what I take issue with.

    yet. Is it a ‘biased’ based review also? Or did you (read: Dark_Sage) received some $ from the almost 4,000 raised dollars? Thanks in advance.

  3. Huehuehue. Bias is inherent in human subjectivity, but I’m glad to see issue of corruption and intentional bias, which gets raised repeatedly, being put to rest.

  4. Does it even matter, I have read Dark Sages reviews, I have mixed responses to some of his reviews whereas in other cases his arguments are totally justified. He is human, at times he could become partial to a particular FanSub group, that does not mean his reviews are not fun to read, it also allows be decide which group is doing a better job myself. You are doing a great job DS, just seems like there are room for improvements.

  5. Darksage, I love Shingeki no Kyojin, but I am sadly tired of downloading and deleting episodes because the subs are so poor, could you please tell me a Fansub you would recommend for SNK.

    Much Thanks.
