On top of this, anime also keeps getting more popular and more and more people learn Japanese because of their interest for anime, and naturally some of these people want to take a swing at fansubbing, since they probably started out watching fansubs and now want to try it out (for various reasons).

In the beginning of the seasons there’s always a bunch of random “noname” groups that pick up new series and sub a couple of episodes. Usually with very little quality-checking and poor translation. These groups usually disappear after a few weeks, and a more established group takes over.

It’s wierd that Toshokan Sensou isn’t subbed yet, since it’s a very well made series by a well known studio. I’m guessing it’s because the dialogue is heavy, and all the “trash” groups won’t bother picking it up, because their “translators” isn’t up for the challenge.

(You’ll tell me that Dattebayo also do speedsubbing AND manage to give us good translations and good subs timings, but don’t ask me why, these guys are amazing machines.)

Two weeks compared to a few hours only is quite a difference, and while two weeks is not a month, it’s still quite some time : I think that they managed to find a juste milieu between quality and speed. I’m glad the fansubbers manage to do a very good job within two weeks or so : considering that they do not owe us shit in the first place and that two weeks isn’t that long to wait, I’m really feeling like these fansubbers are being the most generous and amazing people on the Internet.
