What is this group? I see so many torrents lately on nyaa. Is it just another CR rip-off?

Is this bait or are you actually retarded?

Yes, with more bloat.

Erai Raws, AnimeRG, FreakCrSuBuS are all CR rips.
Theres little reason to use HS nowadays specially since they seem to be encoding(?) their releases now.
There is also that spanish websites that rips all available subtitles and there is that open source app made by a loo that rips CR videos which you can search in github.

Horrible Subs doesn't rip from Crunchyroll

Where do they rip from then?

They translate themselves.

They are actually faster than HS sometimes.

They usually rip from CR but they also do some non-CR shows.

I remember HS did Kuzu no Honkai a few seasons ago and they used some TV rips that had the channel's icon watermarked in the corner of the screen the whole time.

How could I forget that?

Yes they do newfag

Have you even read their about page? It clearly says they don't despite false accusations.

Well then how do they get shows that air on CR, on the same day as they air on CR, with the exact same subtitles as they have on CR?

And 1080p isn't an upscale.

>they seem to be encoding(?) their releases now.
They aren't.

because they're the fastest sub group

CR steals their subs

No, it's a team of the guys who do the sub for CR. They're legally allowed to use their own translations for whatever they want - and so they do. They just attach their subtitles to the the original japanese releases and they upload it under the HS moniker.

actually HS are the original japanese scriptwriters posting the official translations of their own scripts

CR can legally use their subs without giving credit due to a loophole in a 1983 US-Japan copyright treaty.

Jesus. This is clearly abuse! How hasn't the UN's International Court stepped in to resolve that/?
At least CR are paying to get the videos (they ARE paying, right?) and contributing to the japanese economy.

Is HS saving or destroying anime in the west?

they are better than commie

>they seem to be encoding their releases
Huh?

DmonHiro dev pls

HS isn't the only group ripping streams. They're just the most popular one. As long as there are streams there are stream rippers.

Why is this bait thread still up?

Saving.

I am paying for CR and Amazon, but if they ever do anything remotely like suing groups or individuals, I'm cancelling my subscriptions.

You'll have already funded their legal bills at that point.

Either CR are smart guys, or this hobby is dead anyway.
Sucks, but there is no way around it.

HS are what even made me consider paying for it at all.

Oh hi herkz

Shut the FUCK up Phr0sty

Bullshit
