I know the guy who did the fansub...  apparently he's looking for a good 
DVD rip himself, and he's gonna run the subbing filter on it when he 
gets it (same translation, same timing, better footage).  Thus, it's 
probably only worthwhile to find a DVD rip and sub it yourself if you 
don't like the translation.
