Did I piss you off yet, sub fan?
Do you know what a fansub is.
It's a sub by subs for subs.
You shouldn't be paying for a fansub(sometimes you do have to pay for a tape or CD). If you buy fansubs off of ebay that = bad.
MANY fansubs are wayyy better then the commericial release. One of the reasons is just that they're plain easier to read what with better control over fonts and color used.
Many people put ALOT of effort into fansubbing.
Now the idea of fansubs is to sub a series and bring exposure to it before it is licensed over here. It is not a alternative to the actual release. You can have your fansub, but you should purchase the actual release when it becomes available.
DVDs that are known for horrid subtitles are HK DVDs(bootlegs). If you get something off of Ebay, most likely it's a bootleg or DivX fansubs that shouldn't be sold in the first place.
Also there are many places on the web that pimp bootlegs as being legit, which is just not right.
