Anime-Kraze
Profile
Anime-Kraze was one of the recognizable English-language fansub groups of the early-to-mid 2000s. Its documented projects include Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, InuYasha, Chrno Crusade and Samurai Champloo alongside a much larger catalog. Contemporary discussion regularly treated Anime-Kraze as a quality-focused group, sometimes at the expense of release speed. Its Ghost in the Shell subtitles were significant enough to be used in published translation scholarship comparing Anime-Kraze, AnimeOne and Anime Junkies.
Signature style
Quality-focused English fansubs with a strong reputation for translation, editing and subtitle presentation. Often slower than competing weekly groups.
