What is good (& bad) fansub to you?


I always wonder what is consider a good fansub? I've been to various forum & so. Seems like many ppl demand an almost perfect (99.9% accurate) subbing to consider as a good sub. For me, it's simple. I just demand a sub that I can understand. Simple & straight to the point doesn't matter as long as it doesn't run out of what the original meaning mean. For example, the so-called one of the worst fansub out there, Chihiro sub's fine for me too. I just don't understand why those ppl bash them like nobody business. They're (Chihiro) famous for speed-sub & that doesn't mean their sub is bad. Although I've to admit they're maybe no better than some fansub group out there, but at least it's understandable & I can promise that their sub is sometimes better than the so-called original DVD sub.

Tbh, I've yet to see a VERY worst fansub in my life so far but many bad sub in "so-called original DVD" which's selling in Malaysia. The subs is just unacceptable. I really can't understand what the f**k they're trying to said. I feel like throwing the DVD's away when I saw that =.=" According to my friend, there's 2 type of DVD. One is Local-Original (crappy sub + cut scenes) & another is Imported-Original (very good sub + uncut) but of course the price also different besides the quality.

So, now I rarely go & buy original anime DVD already since the original is not original & imported one is too expensive for me. I'll stick to fansub for the time being & only will buy Imported-DVD if I really like the series & have lotsa extra money ^^. & pls don't hate fansub, (whether they're doing a good or bad job) coz they're doing it for FREE!!!
