Heroic Age - Episode 2 - Bruised Ichigo

I simply don't like when fansub groups cut right in, doing only the most recent episode and essentially trying to "steal" viewers away from the group that has worked on the show from the start. Sure, BI only did one more episode than Your-Mom, but I don't like the idea that Your-Mom whimsically picks up shows in the middle of their run and counts on other groups having done the work for the previous episodes.

edit to below- i just think it's a dick thing to do. just my two cents

I think it's good. They're giving a speed-sub option, meaning speed over quality. I think it's fine that they're cutting in when stuff takes long to get released. Like Code Geass, there was a long period where no episodes were released, and it was YourMom that qualmed our desires for CG. However, they've only subbed 3 series in that was started by another group, Heroic Age, Code Geass and Sumomo momomo. Sumomo only had episodes 1-17, and they just subbed the last 2 episodes (21 and 22). You can say the same about other groups cutting in to other series, like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, etc. Do you really expect ADC-Elites, Gerusama, Vegapunk, Dattebayo, etc. to start from episode 1?

I think this is one of those age old debates that will never get settled, The way I see it what speedsubbers like Your-Mom do is provide something people really want at an arguably lower quality level but faster.

The only way I can see a problem with that is if one thinks there's some type of 'code' to fansubbing where certain rules have to be followed without needing reasonable explanations. 'Thou shalt sub only entire series' would fit this category. No one's experience is directly hurt by the availability of certain episodes earlier than the 'main' groups release. If you choose to download it and it's not to your liking then you will know not to download from them again, and it's your own fault for trying something different.

Second episode was interesting, those 12 tasks seemed pretty mean though ...Humanity take over the universe or be destroyed. And if you think about it, they basically just say save yourselves, no here's what you'll have to do...beat everyone else and become godlike.
