Offered as a possible replacement for this IY-F&oki torrent (up for adoption).

The main reason is the quality of the subs/translation. And because it was requested in the comments of the current release.
IY-F&oki seems to have more spelling mistakes and awkward wording. I'll leave the styling/typesetting out of it, because that's highly personal.

Regarding image quality: I've read that the IY-F&oki video is sharper due to extra sharpening and contrast work whilst the AF-F&F-B release is more true to the raw with regard to the colors.

Let's see if it can be determined which is the better release for BakaBT.

AF-F&F-B 1  |  IY-F&oki 1
AF-F&F-B 2  |  IY-F&oki 2
AF-F&F-B 3  |  IY-F&oki 3
AF-F&F-B 4  |  IY-F&oki 4
AF-F&F-B 5  |  IY-F&oki 5

More "sub-rich" comparisons can be provided, but I would like some pointers as to what kind of scenes would be best.

I think we should replace it. We have the 720p version of Thora and apparently, Thora used AF-F&F-B's subs, iirc.

Ouch, eye-cancer inducing screenshots in the right-hand column! Oversharpened = artifacting galore. Am I glad I immediately got the AF-F&F-B version. Phew!

You sure it wasn't IY-F&oki's subs that Thora used? I watched Thora's version a while back and there were a noticeable amount of misspellings and overall fuckups in their subs. The main reason why this is replacing the IY-F&oki version is because of "spelling mistakes and awkward wording", which is exactly what I found in Thora's release. It was a shame too, because I enjoyed the series. The subs just detracted from the whole experience. Even now when I think of Paradise Kiss, all I can do is relate the series to how awful the subs were.  T__T;

Either way, AF-F&F-B has better subs than IY-F&oki in those screenshot comparisons. Cleaner video, too. I'm thinking of downloading it.

The typo's you spotted could be from AF-F&F-B, because THORA does claim to have used their subs. Their timing seems to be not so good though as AF-F&F-B's. THORA does admit to having failed somewhat with episode 12, that one was done in a hurry and uses modified IY-F&oki subs, or so they said.

It depends on how they got the subs. If they OCR'ed them, well, I guess they could've introduced the misspellings and such themselves.

Oh hey, this is that anime that was that one song by Franz Ferdinand as the ED theme.

Wow... the differences are crazy and yet why do people prefer the AF-FB one??

Yes, THORA OCR'd them, AF-F&F-B had a policy of hardsubbing and not releasing scripts. Also, AF-F's episode 12 was only released long after THORA got their batch out, which is why using IY-F&Oki's translation for the last episode was their only choice at that point.

Encoding-wise because it's true to the source and looks better to an encoder's eye. IY-F&Oki used gratuitous amounts of artificial sharpening and line darkening.

Subtitle-wise because it was translated and edited by native speakers of Japanese and English, respectively, as opposed to IY-F&Oki's translation which featured some guesswork.
