As mentioned, those are just upscales. They fail. Wait for Yuki’s true HD release.
I thoroughly recommend using a.f.k’s subs. They were perfect in every way. It’s just their raw is garbage. ><
Duke, Yuki’s release is ALSO an upscale. It’s a better studio-upscale than seen previously,and the overlay text is rendered native over the top, but the animation itself is still upscaled.
@anon
Sorry, I meant BAD upscales.
I’m not sure if it’s an upscale or not, but the one Sushi did has better or equal quality to what most groups have released and it’s only half their file size. Plus i’m loving his subtitles so far lol. And he also said that he will do another version of ep 8 if a better raw comes out, so it looks pretty promising.
I’ve downloaded most of the subs and I recommend afk or sushi overall. DB-LE has horrible video quality and their font isn’t very appealing. I wouldn’t even bother with the mining trolls, AKA : Coalguys/girls/transexuals/whateverucallem.
Yuki-kun, I’m still waiting for your subs enthusiastically. I wonder why this episode(ep8) it’s too long until shushi released their ep 8 but you don’t. So I thought you already dropped this project. Nevertheless I admire your projects and hope that I will see your new episode sooner.
Whoops, I must have been thinking of something else, the text isn’t even native. It’s DEFINITELY an upscale, albeit a relatively good one. This a certainly not a HD show (a pity really).
@Enad
Check the L-E v2 (i.e. the ‘decent raw has aired’ edition). Subs comparable to afk, and better PQ. lol at afk still using hardsubbed avi.
Zero raws released a 1080 ts.

[Zero-Raws] The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya – 08 RAW (D-TVS 1440×1080).ts
@anon: afk has always used hardsubbed avi, and they probably always will lol. Isn’t it just one person?
@Keron
Yeah they are back
I hope you’d still like the release, despite the delay. Don’t get hopes up for anything really amazing; I am a one-person team without a real translator.
I know That’s why I’m waiting for Yuki’s
Cause’ it’s way better
