Houston, we have a problem!
which group?

Frostii
or
Shinji

AniDB shows these:

Shinji: Video: 1280x720 16:9 VFR H264/AVC (~2290 kBit/s) [ep1 and 2 is VFR, others are normal 23.976 fps], Audio: jap 2.0 Stereo AAC (189 kBit/s), Subs: eng soft styled subs (ASS/SSA)
Frostii: Video: 1280x720 16:9 23.976 fps H264/AVC (~1533 - 1901 kBit/s [this skips pretty much from 1500 to 1900kBit/s]) Audio: jap 2.0 Stereo AAC (189 kBit/s), Subs: eng soft styled subs (ASS/SSA)

So according (~~maybe wrong spelled it~~ ) to Anidb Shinji is better on video, but are they/him/her/it kinda "wtf is that group?!? Never heard!!!".
there is written in Anidb this quote:

Quote from: Shinji

"Proper" encodes of other groups releases.

Frostii is pretty known group, so then if not Shinji, then Frostii!

Currently dont have any sample screenshots to show, but already started to download em so can you give me a little time?

edit: ok got some sample images now: (left Shinji, right Frostii)

UPDATE:

Frostii seems to have dropped the series.

Thanks lupin for the link

Without doubt, Frostii.

Lupin · « **Reply #2 on:** June 29, 2009, 01:14:24 PM »

I forgot who are the people behind shinji but they do not translate. The group simply OCR's the subs from crunchyroll

Goroshi-sama · « **Reply #3 on:** June 29, 2009, 01:21:12 PM »

so in short: Shinji, Get a fu*k out of here and frostii, please come again!

~~so no need to show any sampleshots to compare?~~ well i worked hard for those images, so i added em on first post. even though i got a good answer from lupin..

Lupin · « **Reply #4 on:** June 29, 2009, 02:14:24 PM »

Crunchyroll subs aren't bad. The shows they are streaming (like this one) are translated by experienced people from the fansubbing community. If you've heard of guys like getfresh and tofusensei, you'll know that some of the subs from crunchyroll are good.

Goroshi-sama · « **Reply #5 on:** June 29, 2009, 03:29:39 PM »

edit: If you look closely, you can notice that in first image the skin is slightly whiter in frostii's image than shinji's one.. :S But
:S how bout you guys?

so I wouldnt get killed, If i offer Shinjis version first to test, does it get granted, and if it get rejected, we'll wait frostii?

we need mods opinions here!

kureshii · « **Reply #6 on:** June 29, 2009, 03:55:18 PM »

The screenshots look pretty similar to me (ignoring colour casts etc), so if Shinji is using a higher bitrate I'm not really noticing it. Would be nice to have a few comparisons for dark scenes, which is where you can tell the difference.

I'm also partial to Frostii's choice of font. Shinji uses a serif font with very short kerning that makes their subs hard to read at a glance. The serifs join together easily and the letters bunch up.

So overall I'd say go with Frostii. But it would be nice to get an encoder's opinion too.

Goroshi-sama · « **Reply #7 on:** June 29, 2009, 04:35:15 PM »

god damit.. already deleted shinji's first ep.
uhh.. gotta download it back.

or if someone already have managed to get more of their releases, would show us.

the font in frostii's image is little better to read.. :S

but in overall.. 2 points for frostii, 0 for shinji.. :S might be better to wait frostii..

Xiong Chiamiov · « **Reply #8 on:** June 30, 2009, 01:17:06 AM »

I suppose that the video looks a little better in Shinji's, but I prefer the font in Frostii's, plus I'm a Frostii fanboi.

As kureshii said, an encoder's opinion would be appreciated, but if we don't get one, I'd offer Frostii's.

Goroshi-sama · « **Reply #9 on:** June 30, 2009, 11:01:53 AM »

as I dont even know, who is behind the Shinji, I cant ask their/her/his/its (

) to come here to tell his opinion. :S

but I keep taking those frostii's releases (and probably grab also shinji's releases too), and (probably, if I make it) offer it!

Goroshi-sama · « **Reply #10 on:** July 03, 2009, 08:16:15 AM »

ok as so kureshii said:

here is a one dark scene...(left shinji, right frostii)

I cant say which one is better.. looks like both are at same level.. :S

kureshii · « **Reply #11 on:** July 03, 2009, 03:17:05 PM »

Frostii's looks blocky... but Shinji's isn't much better either. It's clear both are from the same video source.

Considering the points mentioned earlier, I'd still stick with Frostii.

Goroshi-sama · « **Reply #12 on:** July 03, 2009, 05:41:44 PM »

I think that would be the best to do.
Lets wait frostii.. They got pretty good subs so..
thank you

Bummer...

kureshii · « **Reply #15 on:** July 07, 2009, 03:23:37 PM »

Looks like we'll go with Shinji then.

Lupin · « **Reply #16 on:** July 07, 2009, 03:45:51 PM »

Will you unreject the current offer or allow a new one? The currently offered one's description fails.

kureshii · « **Reply #17 on:** July 07, 2009, 06:12:45 PM »

Feel free to make a new offer. The rejected offer will be unrejected when it meets requirements.

Southrop · « **Reply #18 on:** July 08, 2009, 12:25:59 PM »

Silly Arveene. Unrejected it too early.

You can still make a new offer if you wish.

Lupin · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2009, 03:12:36 PM »

Not really interested in offering this one. I have a pending offer. I can only seed one if I try offering this. I don't really know why, but I'm still waiting for an official drop post from Frostii (or a post from Sylf himself).

I hope the current uploader fix his description.
